    For Immediate Release, Tuesday, October 21 9 pages Contact: Krista Jenkins 973.443.8390 or [email protected] BLAST FROM THE PAST: LEAD FOR BOOKER COMPARABLE TO BELL’S LAST OPPONENT IN 1978 November’s Senate election pits the incumbent, Democrat Cory Booker, against an underdog, Republican Jeff Bell. While most are focused on the horserace numbers between the two, Fairleigh Dickinson University’s PublicMind expands the focus by asking likely voters not just about the current contest involving Bell, but also their preferences in a hypothetical rematch between Bell and his 1978 opponent, Democrat Bill Bradley. Beginning with how Bell fares against his current opponent, the poll finds that Booker’s lead remains formidable at 56 to 40 percent, with Booker outpacing Bell’s favorables by an almost two-to-one margin (57% versus 29%, respectively). Despite Bell’s history in New Jersey politics, voters remain unsure of their opinion of him (49%). “Since the interviews were done more than two weeks out from the election, numbers are certainly likely to change. But a lead of this magnitude is good news for the incumbent Senator,” said Krista Jenkins, director of the poll and professor of political science. “It’s not a political environment that’s particularly warm for incumbents, but it looks like Booker has little to be worried about as the campaign season draws to a close.” The same poll finds that Bell polls worse now than 35 years ago when he first ran for a New Jersey U.S. Senate seat and lost. In a hypothetical rematch between Bell and then-competitor Bradley today, PublicMind pegs him at 36 percent whereas in 1978 he wound up with 43 percent of the vote.

  • POLITICO, John Harris and Carrie Budoff Brown
    STATEMENTS FROM NEWS ORGS EXCLUDED – POLITICO, John Harris and Carrie Budoff Brown: “We’ve reached out to the White House, and rest assured that we plan to very vigorously assert and defend an independent media’s right to cover the institution of the Presidency. Selectively excluding news organizations from White House briefings is misguided and our expectation is that this action will not be repeated. We have one of the largest teams in Washington covering this White House—a major editorial and financial commitment on behalf of our audience. This commitment is an enduring one, and our coverage of the Trump Administration will of course continue without interruption.” --WASHPOST, Marty Baron: “It’s appalling that the White House would exclude news outlets like the New York Times, CNN, Politico, the Los Angeles Times, and BuzzFeed from its publicly announced briefings. This is an undemocratic path that the administration is traveling. There is nothing to be gained from the White House restricting the public’s access to information. We are currently evaluating what our response will be if this sort of thing happens again." – Marty Baron, Washington Post. --NYT, Dean Baquet: “Nothing like this has ever happened at the White House in our long history of covering multiple administrations of different parties. We strongly protest the exclusion of The New York Times and the other news organizations. Free media access to a transparent government is obviously of crucial national interest.” --BUZZFEED: “While we strongly object to the White House’s apparent attempt to punish news outlets whose coverage it does not like, we won’t let these latest antics distract us from continuing to cover this administration fairly and aggressively.” --CNN: “This is an unacceptable development by the Trump White House.

Hoyt Purvis University of Arkansas Anonymous sources have been important factors in some of the major news stories of our time. But does this reliance on unnamed sources to too far? The use and possible abuse of anonymous sources is a matter of continuing controversy in the media and can have a direct bearing on the credibility of the media. Questions related to the use of such sources are examined in a study of the use of anonymous sources in 14 daily editions of three daily newspapers, focusing on the quantity of articles using anonymous sources, their subject matter, location, and rationale for using unnamed sources. This is done within the context of the ongoing controversy about the reliance on such sources in major news organizations. Results of this study are reported and analyzed and provide some clear indications about the extent and nature of the use of anonymous sources, and point to a possible over-dependence and problematic trend.

  • Seen from 2020'S Tumult
    ARAB TIMES, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2021 NEWS/FEATURES 13 People & Places Media Hiaasen quits Miami Herald Search is on for new leaders in journalism NEW YORK, Feb 1, (AP): The “help wanted” list for top management jobs in journalism is suddenly get- ting very long. Searches for new leaders at brand names like The Washington Post, ABC News and the Los Angeles Times are coming at a time of rapid change in the news industry and increased attention paid to diversity in decision-making roles. The two latest openings came this week when Marty Baron, the executive editor who transformed the Post over the past eight years, and ABC News President James Goldston both said they will step down over the next two months. The Los Angeles Times is further along in its search for a successor to Executive Editor Norman Pearlstine. The Reuters news agency is looking to replace its editor-in-chief, Stephen Adler, who is retiring on April 1. HuffPost and Vox Media need leaders, too. Dean Baquet, executive edi- tor of The New York Times, is the subject of speculation, both because his job is the golden ring of journalism and he’s 64 years old. By tradition, the Jones Times’ top editor steps down before reaching 66. CNN chief Jeff Zucker, whose name was frequently invoked by former President Donald Trump during his administration’s battles with the media, is expected to announce soon whether or not he will move on. Both Baron and Goldston cited the end of an in- tense election cycle and its exhaustive pace of news as a natural time to turn the page.
