    MCALVEY MERCHANT & ASSOCIATES CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE August 7, 2020 CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE WEEK OF AUGUST 3, 2020 Integrity, Individual Attention. Precision Strategy. Proven Results RECORD-SETTING PRIMARY ELECTIONS A record number of voters participated in Michigan’s primary election on Aug. 4, with more than 2.5 million people casting a vote either in person or by absentee ballot. One of the most followed races in the primary was the 13th Congressional District rematch between U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Detroit) and Detroit City Council President Brenda Jones. Jones represented the district for a few weeks in 2018, following the resignation of Rep. John Conyers (D-Detroit) in December 2017. After his resignation, there were two elections for the seat with Jones winning the special election to complete Conyers unexpired term, and Tlaib winning the regular race for the Congressional seat. This year, Tlaib and Jones were the only primary candidates. On Tuesday, Tlaib won the strongly Democratic district with nearly twice as many votes as Jones, potentially guaranteeing her a second term. In the 3rd Congressional District in West Michigan, Republican Peter Meijer, a U.S. Army veteran whose family founded the well-known Meijer retail chain, won a five-way contest with more than 50 percent of the vote, including holding a strong lead over his main opponent Rep. Lynn Afendoulis. Meijer will face Democratic attorney Hillary Scholten. The winner of that race will succeed U.S. Rep. Justin Amash, a former Republican turned Libertarian who is not seeking reelection. In the 10th Congressional District, a Republican stronghold in the Thumb region, Republican businesswoman Lisa McClain of Bruce Township, a pro-Trump Republican who outspent her opponents, beat state Rep.

  • Jeśli to Czytasz, Chcesz Być Blogerem. Może Pracujesz W Pełnym Wy
    Nisza Kładąc podwaliny Jakie jest Twoje imię, prywatne? Jeśli to czytasz, chcesz być blogerem. Może pracujesz w pełnym wymiarze godzin, który ostatecznie nie jest dla Ciebie satysfakcjonujący, a w wolnych chwilach zastanawiasz się nad czymś zupełnie innym. A może jesteś dziennikarzem, który chce wejść na blogową rewolucję i odkryłeś niszę, w której do tej pory niewiele było konkurencji. A może czytasz wiele blogów, konsekwentnie przekonanych, że sam możesz wykonać lepszą pracę. Lub pracujesz nad zostaniem ekspertem w określonej dziedzinie i potrzebujesz pracy, na którą możesz wskazać podczas spotkań. Bam! Jesteś na dobrej drodze do stworzenia bloga. Istnieje wiele blogów, ponieważ fan lub ekspert jest zmęczony czytaniem niewłaściwych rzeczy napisanych na temat jego lub jej zainteresowań. W dawnych czasach nazywałbyś tych ludzi „crackpots”, teraz nazywa się ich blogerami. Będziesz jednak wykonywać tę usługę znacznie bardziej inteligentnie i inteligentnie niż niektóre poręcze przeciw rządowi na stronach wydawniczych. Opowiesz historię za pomocą unikalnego punktu widzenia i zestawu umiejętności. Więc o co ci chodzi? Czym jest blogowanie? Co to jest bloger? A co najważniejsze, jak możesz stać się jednym z nich? Blogowanie to dziennikarstwo w trzydziestominutowym terminie. To najprostszy sposób, aby to wyjaśnić. Podczas gdy w Internecie są różnego rodzaju blogi, najlepsze z nich obejmują wiadomości i szybko je pokrywają, dodając trochę zabawy, dziwactwa lub dodatkowych informacji. Posty w blogu mogą być także recenzjami, esejami, infografikami itp., Ale jeśli pokrywasz niszę, musisz być szybki, odpowiedni i czytelny. Bloger jest dziennikarzem. Powiedzieć inaczej traktować to medium, które długo walczyło o miejsce przy stole medialnym. Najlepsi blogerzy prowadzą kręgi wokół „profesjonalnych” dziennikarzy. Blogowanie jest nadal domeną dedykowanego amatora.

  • Lies, Damn Lies, and Viral Content
    3 Tow Center for Digital Journalism LIES, A Tow/Knight Report DAMN LIES, AND VIRAL CONTENT CRAIG SILVERMAN Funded by the Tow Foundation and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation 5 Acknowledgments Tow’s research director, Taylor Owen, provided the important, initial encour- agement for me to submit a research proposal for the topic of debunking and misinformation in the online press. Tow director Emily Bell was also a critical early supporter. I’m grateful to both of them, and to the Tow Center’s funders, for enabling me to complete this work. Fergus Pitt provided a wealth of valuable feedback and guidance to ensure this paper stayed focused (and on deadline). I’m grateful to Jocelyn Jurich who, as a Ph.D. candidate at Columbia, was in many ways overqualified for the role of research assistant on this project. She added value to the data gathering and analysis, and this work is the better for it. I was also lucky to retain the services of Adam Hooper, a talented example of the new breed of journalist- programmers. He was my first choice to help build the Emergent database. I’m thankful for his many contributions. This paper also benefited from the eagle eye and fast turnaround of Abigail Ronck. She fixed errors, trimmed flabby copy, and improved the work in many ways. I’d like to express my gratitude to the journalists, paranormal investigators, skeptics, and others who spoke with me, filled out questionnaires, or provided other forms of assistance. I’m also indebted to the psychologists, sociologists, linguists, political scientists, and others who have conducted research around rumor, cognitive biases, and how humans process (mis)information.

Comment is below: I posted details about the upcoming Taylor meeting, and this is a response. Thought you might pass it along so it does not happen again... "Thanks for sharing-- unforutnately, if the I-94 Expansion/I-75/I-94 reconstruction public hearing is reflective of how SEMCOG conducts many of their meetings and "takes public Diane Mente Citizen Wayne Woodhaven MI 7/8/2013 input", I'm guessing this will do little to nothing in regards to public input. Plenty of SEMCOG members didn't even look at those giving public input--not that it was necessary to hear, it's a sign of interest and respect. It's not that hard to turn your chair around if you're sitting at a round table and make sure you are actually looking at someone." It's been shown again and again that adding lanes doesn't reduce congestion- it worsens it.
