This boundary, often referred to in the West as a ‘Chinese Wall’, is designed to uphold the inde- pendence of journalists from commercial interests or the whims of news proprietors. But does this separation still exist in today’s age of social media and at a time when news revenues are under unprecedented pressure? This article focuses on Twitter, now a widely used tool in the newsroom, analysing the Twitter output of 10 UK political correspondents during the busy party conference season.

  • Rice Determined Not to Strike in NJ | Huffpost
    Rice Determined Not to Strike in NJ | HuffPost US EDITION THE BLOG 05/19/2014 03:52 pm ET | Updated Jul 19, 2014 Rice Determined Not to Strike in NJ By Marty Kaplan Forget whether former New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson was paid more or less than her predecessor, Bill Keller. I want to know why Condoleezza Rice was paid more than Condoleezza Rice. Rutgers University offered $35,000 to George W. Bush’s national security advisor and secretary of state to speak at its commencement exercises on Sunday. But just a few weeks ago, Rice got $150,000 for giving a speech at the University of Minnesota’s Hubert Humphrey School of Public Affairs. As it turned out, pushback from some Rutgers faculty and students caused Rice to bow out, saying she didn’t want to be a “distraction.” Still, she accepted their lowball offer in the first place. Why the deep discount? Was she planning to be 80 percent more platitudinous in New Jersey than in Minnesota? Or maybe it was a pro rata deal, and she going to speak for 14 minutes in New Brunswick instead of the hour she talked in Minneapolis. It couldn’t be that she was embarrassed to have had such a good payday at the Humphrey School. Her 150 bills is apparently what the graduation market will bear. As Inside Higher Ed has recounted, Katie Couric got $110K to give the University of Oklahoma commencement speech, and that was back in 2006. Three years ago, Rudy Giuliani’s fee was $100,000 plus the cost of a private jet to get him to the podium.

    There are upwards of 27 million blogs in the world. To discover how they relate to one another, we’ve taken the most-linked-to 50 and mapped their connections. Each arrow represents a hypertext link that was made sometime in the past 90 days. Think of those links as votes in an endless global popularity poll.

  • U.S. Attorneys Scandal and the Allocation of Prosecutorial Power
    "The U.S. Attorneys Scandal" and the Allocation of Prosecutorial Power BRUCE A. GREEN* & FRED C. ZACHARIAS** I. INTRODUCTION In 1940, Attorney General (and future Supreme Court Justice) Robert H. Jackson spoke to United States Attorneys about their duty not only to be "diligent, strict, and vigorous in law enforcement" but also "to be just" and to "protect the spirit as well as the letter of our civil liberties."' His talk was dedicated mostly to the relationship between the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the U.S. Attorneys in their shared pursuit of justice. On one hand, he observed that "some measure of centralized control is necessary" to ensure consistent interpretations and applications of the law, to prevent the pursuit of "different conceptions of policy," to promote performance standards, and to provide specialized assistance.2 On the other hand, he acknowledged that a U.S. Attorney should rarely "be superseded in handling of litigation" and that it would be "an unusual case in which his judgment 3 should be overruled." Critics of George W. Bush's administration have charged that the balance in federal law enforcement has tipped in the direction of too little prosecutorial independence and too much centralized control. 4 One of their prime examples is the discharge of eight U.S. Attorneys in late 2006,5 which * Louis Stein Professor of Law and Director, Louis Stein Center for Law and Ethics, Fordham University School of Law. The authors thank Michel Devitt, Graham Strong, and Sharon Soroko for commenting on earlier drafts and Brian Gibson, David Sweet, and Kimber Williams for their invaluable research assistance.
