Peer review is a concept commonly accepted in most pro- fessions. For instance, in medicine “peer review is defined as ‘the objective evaluation of the quality of a physician’s or a scientist’s per- formance by colleagues.’”1 That is why we license plumbers, electri- cians, manicurists, doctors, nurses, and lawyers.

JOURNALISM at a JUNCTURE an Interim Report to the National Press Club Membership on the Nationwide 2008 Centennial Forums Program
JOURNALISM AT A JUNCTURE An Interim Report to the National Press Club Membership on the Nationwide 2008 Centennial Forums Program. By Gil Klein Director, Centennial Forums Project January 16, 2009. For its 2008/9 centennial year, the National Press Club asked me to organize a nationwide series of forums to engage leading journalists, news media authorities, students and citizens in a conversation on “The First Amendment, Freedom of the Press and the Future of Journalism.” At each stop, we gathered a panel of print, broadcast and online journalists as well as a journalism academic or First Amendment scholar – about 130 in all -- to talk about where the news business is going and how to protect its core values as its underlying economic model changes. Crossing the Mississippi River a dozen times, I visited 24 states and the District of Columbia. The NPC president, former presidents and board members hosted events in another four states, and we held forums by live Webcast and two-way satellite communication from the Club to journalism school and public audiences in another six states. In all, the project reached thousands of people in audiences at 38 locations in 34 States and DC, usually at journalism schools, regional Press Clubs and civic auditoriums. Add in C-SPAN’s coverage of the New York City forum, broadcast on local community access television, university channels and public radio stations, as well as public radio interviews, and the project reached a nationwide audience of many thousands more. I bring you greetings from press clubs that co-sponsored our forums in Atlanta, San Diego, Denver, Milwaukee, New Orleans and Naples, Fla. -

O’MALLEY’S MOMENT? POLITICS. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2015 THE INDEPENDENT DAILY NEWSPAPER FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA COMMUNITY SINCE 1868 DAILYIOWAN.COM 50¢ VETS TRY TO SURVIVE Alerts warn of assaults By DI STAFF daily-iowan.edu The University of Iowa issued two Hawk Alerts Tuesday related to a string of assaults on campus. A man was reported assaulting wom- en around the UI Hospitals and Clinics, Main Library, and western dorms. Offi- cials confirmed he was taken into custo- dy Tuesday afternoon. He was involuntarily committed to UIHC and charges are pending. UI po- lice are not releasing his name given the ongoing investigation. The incidents served as the first Hawk Alerts released this year, “used to notify the campus community of threats to physical safety in emergency situations,” according to the university’s website. Campus mem- bers can opt to receive the alert via text message and phone as well as email. The first alert, issued early in the morning, pushed the total number of reported sexual misconducts on campus from six to nine. The second alert, issued in the early afternoon, did not specify the number of reported assaults.
