As Julie Basile, NEW VP Regions, Community and Marketing, put it, “I’ve never been more proud of the work I am so fortunate to do at NEW. Leading this team of Regional talent is truly special. I’ve seen them continue to rise to the occasion, to innovate, challenge and support each other. These women and men are creating valuable experiences in their volunteer roles, and are generating huge impact on NEW’s mission as well as their professional and personal development. I can’t wait to see what they do next, and I firmly believe we are building a rich talent pipeline that will change the face of NEW for years to come.” We will be forever grateful to our regions for all the hard work they do, and this year showed the drive and passion of our region leaders like no other.

Journalism is facing many crises, not the least of which is a loss of readership and perceived relevance to its public. Presented with an ever-expanding array of media with which to interact, the public is more difficult to attract to a socially relevant issue or a politically important story.

  • Arianna Huffington Is Leaving Huffpost to Focus on Wellness Startup Thrive Global
    Arianna Huffington is Leaving HuffPost to Focus on Wellness Startup Thrive Global A CommPRO News Update (Photo Source: Twitter) As reported today in a press release from the Huffington Post, Arianna Huffington, who co-founded the the publication 11 years ago and built it into one of the largest digital media outlets in the U.S., says she will be leaving the company to focus on the new wellness startup, Thrive Global. Message from Arianna Huffington: Thrive Global is a corporate and consumer well ¬being and productivity platform. It provides trainings, seminars, e¬ourses, coaching, and ongoing support based on the latest scientific findings from experts in the fields of neuroscience, psychology, productivity, sports, and sleep. Thrive Global’s approach is extremely practical and based on the principle of micro-steps so that people can more easily go from knowing what’s best for them to actually doing it. Stress and burnout are a global pandemic, costing businesses hundreds of billions of dollars per year – $300 billion in the U.S. alone. But as the latest science has shown there is no trade- off between living a well¬-rounded life and high performance. In fact our performance actually improves when we make our health and well¬being a priority.” Since publishing Thrive and then The Sleep Revolution, I’ve dreamt of taking the next big step to help transform the way we work and live,” Arianna Huffington said. “When I decided to create Thrive Global, I thought it would be possible to build a startup and continue as editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post.

  • Journalists Strike Online: Visibility, Field and the Huffington Post
    Spring 2012 Global Media Journal Volume 12, Issue 20 Article 6 Journalists Strike Online: Visibility, Field and The Huffington Post Tai Neilson George Mason University Cultural Studies Program Keywords Online Journalism, Visibility, Attention, Field, The Huffington Post Abstract Online journalism’s new economy of attention is bringing about profound changes in how journalism is defined and how individuals, organizations and causes achieve visibility. The 2011 strike against the online news organization The Huffington Post exemplifies how competing interests seek to circumscribe the field new means to gain attention. Journalists on both sides of the strike sought to discursively impose a vision of the field of journalism and define the relations between content producers and distributors. The institutionalization process that online journalism is currently undergoing involves both the reproduction of established journalistic structures and the opening of new possibilities through the struggles of actors in the field. Journalists Strike Online: Visibility, Field and The Huffington Post Online journalism is undergoing a process of institutionalization in the US and elsewhere, which involves both the reproduction of established journalistic structures and the opening of new possibilities through the struggles of actors in the field. The 2011 strike against the online news organization The Huffington Post was an attempt by competing interests to circumscribe online journalism and demonstrates how journalists, writing online, employ new means to gain attention. This analysis of influential blogs about the strike shows how news organizations and journalists sought to define online journalism through traditional means of directing attention such as a strike and opinion pieces, and means specific to the internet medium.

  • 2011 State of the News Media Report
    Overview By Tom Rosenstiel and Amy Mitchell of the Project for Excellence in Journalism By several measures, the state of the American news media improved in 2010. After two dreadful years, most sectors of the industry saw revenue begin to recover. With some notable exceptions, cutbacks in newsrooms eased. And while still more talk than action, some experiments with new revenue models began to show signs of blossoming. Among the major sectors, only newspapers suffered continued revenue declines last year—an unmistakable sign that the structural economic problems facing newspapers are more severe than those of other media. When the final tallies are in, we estimate 1,000 to 1,500 more newsroom jobs will have been lost—meaning newspaper newsrooms are 30% smaller than in 2000. Beneath all this, however, a more fundamental challenge to journalism became clearer in the last year. The biggest issue ahead may not be lack of audience or even lack of new revenue experiments. It may be that in the digital realm the news industry is no longer in control of its own future. News organizations — old and new — still produce most of the content audiences consume. But each technological advance has added a new layer of complexity—and a new set of players—in connecting that content to consumers and advertisers. In the digital space, the organizations that produce the news increasingly rely on independent networks to sell their ads. They depend on aggregators (such as Google) and social networks (such as Facebook) to bring them a substantial portion of their audience. And now, as news consumption becomes more mobile, news companies must follow the rules of device makers (such as Apple) and software developers (Google again) to deliver their content.
