Food Recovery Network Caring for the Community MEMO TO: Professor Pollack FROM: Natalie Gennaoui DATE: March 26, 2015 RE: Outline of USC Food Recovery Network Final Project TOPIC: Food Recovery Network (FRN) WHAT: The Food Recovery Network is a national organization with college chapters throughout the U.S. The Food Recovery Network works with local restaurants to donate their leftover food to nonprofit organizations. Their goal is to address the hunger problem faced in America while also solving the problem of excess food being thrown away. In 2015, University of Southern California launched FRN as a club on campus. For this project, my goal is to help promote FRN and gain members and volunteers. PRESS RELEASE: I plan to write one press release on a guest speaker at one of the FRN’s meetings. This release will be sent to Neon Tommy, The Daily Trojan and the Environmental Student Assembly as well as other major news outlets. FACT SHEET: A general fact sheet will cover the national FRN’s history, purpose and specific details of USC’s FRN chapter. MEDIA ALERT: The media alert will be sent to Los Angeles media such as the Los Angeles Times, KABC and KTLA. Other news outlets will include such as Neon Tommy, The Daily Trojan and USC blogs. This media alert will focus on guest speaker Leonardo DiCaprio speaking at Bovard Auditorium. BIOGRAPHY: The most in-depth biography will focus on the current FRN president. FAQ: There will be two FAQs. The first FAQ will answer commonly asked questions from potential donors. The second FAQ will be tailored to students’ questions. PITCH LETTER: A pitch letter will be sent to different news outlets on how FRN is helping the community and working with the founders of the app Bread and Butter. BLOG ENTRIES: Blog entries will be created to spotlight the club’s current activities and events. The first entry will be on easy ways that students can reduce food waste. Another blog post will focus on the restaurants that work with FRN to donate their extra food to nonprofits. Restaurants will be recognized and promoted for their contributions in reducing the hunger among the homeless. This feature will include a description of the restaurant and the food they serve. INFO GRAPH: This info graph will feature how much food is being discarded and the harm it is doing to the environment. This will provide a visual component on the website. LOGO: Since FRN and USC are two different entities; it would be best to combine them into one. The logo will use USC’s colors but still emphasis that we are part of the national organization. VIDEO: The video will focus on the current FRN president and vice president. B-roll of events and e-board meetings will be included. This video’s aim will be to get others interested in joining FRN as well as create a more established following for the club. PHOTOGRAPHY: I plan to take the majority of photography used on this website. The photography will focus on food and the members of the Food Recovery Network. The photography on the blog post will feature various photographers’ work. .

Winners of 52Nd Annual Socal Journalism Awards Announced
Winners of 52nd Annual SoCal Journalism Awards Announced A. JOURNALISTS OF THE YEAR A $1,000 CASH PRIZE: BEST IN SHOW: Greg Katz, Los Angeles Daily Journal A1. PRINT (Over 50,000 circulation) Alana Semuels, Los Angeles Times. Judges’ comments: In a year in which no story mattered more than the pain caused by the economic downturn, Semuels nonetheless found fresh and engaging ways to bring a heavily covered story to life. Whether profiling a dying lumber town or a booming community of pot farmers, Semuels brought the economy to life in human terms and took a story often reduced to lifeless statistics and made it viscerally real. Her story about the web of connection linking a handful of the recession’s victims was masterful storytelling. And listen to this lede from the aforementioned pot-growing story: “Education has long been preached as a way to keep kids away from drugs. It’s the walk to school that has Superintendent Tom Barnett worried.” 2nd: Christine Pelisek, LA Weekly HM: Patrick Range McDonald, LA Weekly A2. PRINT (Under 50,000 circulation) Greg Katz, Los Angeles Daily Journal. Judges’ comments: Mr. Katz work uncovering the startling lack of basic civil rights in California’s secretive parole system will leave you speechless. First-class reporting and excellent writing. 2nd: Ryan Vaillancourt, Los Angeles Downtown News. HM: Amy Alkon, Creator’s Syndicate. A3. TELEVISION JOURNALIST Ana Garcia and Fred Mamoun, KNBC News Judges comments: Ana and Fred have created some great, high quality investigative journalism pieces. They are well put together and have great flow.

January 3, 2012 the New York Times Featured a Q&A With
USC Dornsife in the News Archive - 2011 December December 26, 2011 - January 3, 2012 The New York Times featured a Q&A with David Treuer of English, who recently wrote Rez Life, a book about growing up on a reservation in Minnesota. The Washington Post quoted Dan Schnur, director of the Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics, about Mitt Romney’s ascendance in the field of Republican presidential candidates. Today (Singapore) cited Antonio Damasio, director of USC’s Brain and Creativity Institute, about the neural processes governing empathy and deep thought. Friday, December 23, 2011 Los Angeles Times ran an op-ed by Janet Fitch of the Master of Professional Writing Program reflecting on her mother’s cooking during the holidays. Wired quoted David Bottjer of earth sciences and biological sciences about new research on fossils that may hint at how multi-cellular creatures first came into being. Smithsonian cited research by Kaspar Meyer of psychology, finding that when study subjects were shown silent film clips, the brain regions governing sound would light up. Thursday, December 22, 2011 The New York Times ran an op-ed by David Treuer of English about how American Indian identity has been exploited by both the U.S. government and tribal people themselves at various times in history. Racial mixing has led to complications in tribal identification as well as knowing who should receive reservation benefits, Treuer wrote. Ultimately, tribes need to use metrics beyond bloodlines to identify members. "Having survived this long and come this far, we must think harder about who we want to be in the future, and do something more than just measure out our teaspoons of blood," he wrote.
