BY KILLIAN BELL • 7:21 AM, APRIL 16, 2013 the New York Times Has New York Times honored for its iEconomy series of exposés of alleged unsavory practices by major corporations. “CULT OF MAC” BY KILLIAN BELL • 7:21 AM, APRIL 16, 2013 The New York Times has won the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for “Explanatory Reporting” for its nine‐part iEconomy series into Apple’s business practices and the working conditions inside Foxconn’s Chinese factories. (The series included articles on how American manufacturers lost out on iPhone work to cheaper factories in China as well as on the surprisingly meager pay of Apple’s 30,000 retail workers in the United States.) The Times was praised for its “penetrating look into business practices by Apple and other technology companies that illustrates the darker side of a changing global economy for workers and consumers.” Its iEconomy series gave us an insight into how Apple’s hugely popular iOS devices are manufactured in China, and the unpleasant working conditions faced by Foxconn staff. The series included nine parts in total, which you can catch up on below: Part 1: How the U.S. Lost Out on iPhone Work Part 2: In China, Human Costs Are Built Into an iPad Part 3: How Apple Sidesteps Billions in Global Taxes Part 4: Apple’s Retail Army, Long on Loyalty but Short on Pay Part 7: The Patent, Mighty as a Sword Part 8: As Boom Lures App Creators, Tough Part Is Making a Living Part 9: Signs of Changes Taking Hold in Electronics Factories in China Some have accused The Times of picking on Apple simply because the company’s current stature makes it an easy and interesting target. “It didn’t matter that every major U.S. electronics company assembles its products under the same working conditions — or worse. Or that Apple was actually doing something about them.” writes Fortune’s Philip Elmer‐ DeWitt. “The fact is, the New York Times knows how to win Pulitzers — better than any other journalistic operation… And that’s what it set out to do — with Apple as its conspicuous subject.” Nevertheless, the iEconomy series certainly seemed to give Apple’s efforts a bit of a boost; the company quite clearly stepped up its game and made Foxconn issues more of a priority after these reports were published.

He will receive the 2016 William Randolph Hearst Professional Journalism Award at a ceremony starting at 7:30 pm in the SJSU Student Union Ballroom. Faculty and students from our campus community, along with guests from Northern California high school and community college journalism and media programs, and Bay Area media professionals are invited to attend and interact with our special guest. The goal of the William Hearst Endowment for Visiting Professionals is to bring distinguished speakers to campus as part of SJSU’s School of Journalism and Mass Communications’ Visiting Professionals program. The foundation encourages and supports the recognition of outstanding efforts which represents the best examples of media responsibility and commitment to public service as established in the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. In 2013, Mr. Streitfeld was part of the team awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting “for its penetrating look into business practices by Apple and other technology companies that illustrates the darker side of a changing global economy.” He won his first "Best in Business" award from the Society of American Business Editors and Writers for his investigation of fake online reviews, and his second for an in‐depth look (written with Jodi Kantor) at Amazon’s employment practices. The Amazon story drew more comments than any story in New York Times digital history. Previously, David Streitfeld worked for the Los Angeles Times and, before that, the Washington Post. He has written for New York, Vogue, Wired and other magazines. He is also the editor of books about Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Philip K. Dick and J.D. Salinger. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his family. Faculty in the SJSU School of Journalism and Mass Communications are proud to present Mr. Streitfeld this award, and to invite his views on a wide range of timely issues and concerns. Mr. Streitfeld’s news organization, the New York Times, has been under attack by the Trump administration. When on campus he will take questions about how his newspaper and digital platform group are responding to the White House and President Trump. .

It's been nearly three months since the county stopped putting fluoride in its drinking water. The reason: Four county commissioners sided with a handful of tea party followers, conspiracy theorists and a tiny antifluoride group misnamed Citizens for Safe Water.

  • Tampa Bay Times Pulitzer Prize Winning Advocacy of Fluoridation
    The Tampa Bay Times won its ninth Pulitzer Prize on Monday for a series of editorials last year by Tim Nickens and Daniel Ruth after the Pinellas County Commission moved to stop putting fluoride in the drinking water, affecting the dental health of 700,000 people in the county. As Nickens and Ruth wrote in the last of the 10 editorials submitted for the Pulitzer Prize in Editorial Writing, "It took nearly 14 months, an election and the clarion voice of Pinellas County voters to persuade county commissioners to correct a serious error in judgment." And the newly reconstituted commission quickly moved to vote to restore fluoride to the water system. Here is the Pulitzer nominating letter from Times Editor Neil Brown, with links to the 10 editorials. To the judges: In October 2011, the Pinellas County Commission turned back the clock. The commission, pressured by antifluoride zealots and tea party conservatives, abruptly voted to stop adding fluoride to the drinking water. The commissioners ignored established science and the public health, and in January 2012 the Pinellas water system suddenly became one of the nation’s largest without fluoridated water. More than 700,000 residents no longer benefited from what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls one of the nation’s greatest health care advances. The Tampa Bay Times editorial board went on mission to correct this travesty. With original reporting and persuasive arguments, Tim Nickens and Dan Ruth educated readers and delivered a clarion call for action on behalf of those who need fluoridated water the most: the poor families and the children of Pinellas County.

(2020). “Data Journalism in the Spanish Caribbean Digital Media”. Anàlisi: Quaderns de Comunicació i Cultura, núm. extraordinari 2020, 47-66. DOI: <https://doi.org/10.5565/rev/analisi.3236> Abstract 21st-century journalism is characterized by new trends that facilitate the production of digital and novel contents. Among them, most notable is data-driven journalism, which collects structured information and analyzes it in-depth to present it in more versatile formats through interactive visualizations and other multimedia tools. This specialty serves to tell stories based on vast amounts of information that, without the assistance of a computer and the application of statistical methods, would be challenging to report. This work is a pilot study about the degree of penetration of data journalism through a com- parative study of the journalistic media of the Spanish-speaking Caribbean. For this pur- pose, an exploratory pilot questionnaire investigated the processes and techniques used by journalists in the preparation of publications in digital media of Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic, in order to determine whether they apply data journalism from the defining elements that Paul Bradshaw establishes in his inverted pyramid of data jour- nalism. The findings pointed out that journalists from these countries vary in the level of frequency of use of the five characteristic functions, of which the analysis of databases is the most used by all.

The Society's Treasurer will present a 2017 financial report and Standing Committee Chairs will present their reports on 2017 activities and proposed 2018 plans. Jersey in the '30s was Fred Haines’ beat, though it was hardly worthy of the reporter who d scooped the Ruth Snyder story back in '27. "The most famous Daily News cover ever," Haines bragged. His photo showed Snyder strapped to the electric chair. "Respectable" papers denounced it as vulgar, but it sold millions of copies and cemented Haines s reputation as the go-to "tabloid guy" just as celebrity worship was becoming an American obsession. But that was before Haines had the bad sense to publicly insult an even faster-rising media star named Walter Winchell. Haines wound up on the graveyard shift at the Daily Mirror, covering the most trivial stories his editor could dredge up. And Jersey. "Strictly Sticksville," he said, remembering a cold March night in 1932. That was the night he drove down to rural Hopewell, near Trenton, oblivious that the story of the century was about to break under his byline.
