With nuclear energy, we can have both reliable electricity and clean air. Leslie Dewan, Technology Innovator, Forbes 30 Under 30 Can We Reduce CO2 Without NUCLEAR ENERGY? The world has set ambitious clean air goals and American innovators, like Leslie Dewan, Bill Gates and Jose Reyes, are developing advanced nuclear energy technologies to reduce carbon emissions. Nuclear energy produces 63% of America’s carbon-free electricity and they know it has a distinct role to play to meet future energy and clean air goals. LEARN MORE nei.org/whynuclear Nuclear.

STATE LEGISLATURES 3 MAY 2016 ETHICS Yes, No, Maybe So with a lobbyist. In these situations, legislators must be guided by their personal values and principles—the “Big E,” or “Big Ethics.” These values—many know them as a moral compass—guide our behavior when we face the ethical quandaries not covered by the little e. The Big E pilots us throughout life, in and out of politics. Once you decide on the morals and values that will guide you—your Big E—it will be easier to navigate the gray areas of decision-making in today’s complex world. Bad decisions can lead to severe personal consequences—from well-known Big Ethics resignations, like Nixon’s after Watergate, to the less-publicized departures of several Versus Little legislators following sex-related scandals last summer. And in all cases, public trust Ethics suffers. Conversely, good decisions—those consistent with your values—will elicit trust and admiration from others and, perhaps, bolster the public’s faith in their thics can be discussed in the governing conduct, though some codes, government along the way. framework of “little e” and like California’s and Illinois’, are more —Mark Quiner “Big E.” “Little e,” or “little comprehensive than others.

  • Tribune of the People: Maintaining the Legitimacy of Aggressive Journalism1 Steven E
    Tribune of the people: maintaining the legitimacy of aggressive journalism1 Steven E. Clayman UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES Like other societal institutions, the institution of American journalism confronts a problem of legitimation. In order to be granted continued access to the corridors of power and to maintain the trust of news consumers, the journalistic enterprise must be perceived as essentially valid and legitimate (Hallin, 1994; Tuchman, 1978). As Hallin (1994: 32) has observed: The media have to attend to their own legitimacy. They must maintain the integrity of their relationship with the audience and also the integrity of their own self-image and of the social relationships that make up the profession of journalism. Moreover, rather than being a static phenomenon, legitimacy requires ongoing maintenance and upkeep. Because the practice of journalism frequently tramples on prestigious individuals and institutions, its legiti- macy is recurrently questioned both by news subjects themselves and by members of the public. Aggressive journalists are particularly vulnerable to the charge of having gone beyond the bounds of professionalism or propriety. To insulate themselves from external pressure and more generally to maintain a semblance of legitimacy, journalists draw on a variety of resources,2 one of which is to align themselves with the public at large. The role of public servant has deep historical roots within the profession (Schiller, 1981; Schudson, 1978) and it continues to have salience today, not only as a normative ideal that journalists strive for but also as a strategic legitimating resource. It is no coincidence that ‘tribune’ remains a Media, Culture & Society © 2002 SAGE Publications (London, Thousand Oaks and New Delhi), Vol.

    TMPAA 2012 Mid Year Meeting Keynote SpeaKer: ted Koppel Ted Koppel was the youngest full-time correspondent ever hired by ABC News. By the time he left the network, 42 years later, Ted was the most honored reporter in the network’s history; having received more Overseas Press Club awards than the previ- ous record holder—Edward R. Murrow—two George Polk awards, eight George Foster Peabody awards, eleven duPont-Columbia awards (television’s equivalent to the Pulitzer Prize) and 42 Emmys. Ted covered Dr. Martin Luther King’s march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, he was a war correspondent in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, traveled with President Nixon to China during his historic visit in 1972, and covered Henry Kissinger’s shuttle diplomacy in the Middle East.

The first presidential campaign that Ted covered was Barry Goldwater’s in 1964. The most recent was Barak Obama’s in 2008. On the last day of the Soviet Union, Ted was the only reporter with Mikhail Ghorbachev inside the Kremlin. On the day of Nelson Mandela’s release from prison, Ted interviewed him at his home in Suweto, South Africa. Ted was the anchor and managing editor of Nightline over a period of 26 years, or roughly 6,000 programs, making him the longest-serving news anchor in broadcast network history. Since leaving ABC, Ted has been a contributing columnist for The New York Times and The Washington Post.

Mayborn Institute of Journalism Jim Albright, Chair of the Department of Journalism C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Horton, James Colby. The External Conflict of Modern War Correspondents: Technology’s Inevitable Impact on the Extinction of Nostalgic Combat Reporting. Master of Arts (Journalism), August 2002, 136 pp., 10 tables, reference list, 111 titles. Through historical and content analyses of war coverage, this study qualitatively addresses emotional quality, use of sources, and implied use of technology to better understand the tension between Vietnam and Afghanistan war correspondents and their military counterparts. Early American democracy aspired to give total freedom to its people. But the American military, in its quest to uphold the ideas of democracy, has often challenged the freedom of press clause set forth by the United States Constitution. Since the Vietnam era, the relationship between the military and the media has been plagued by questions of censorship, assertions of falsehood, and threats to national security. But it is the technological advancements in both reporting and combat techniques that have caused a disappearance of the nostalgic war coverage that American correspondents once prospered from. The possibility of returning to journalists’ vision of unrestricted press access is all but lost due to such advancements.
