  • Digital Journalism: Making News, Breaking News
    MAPPING DIGITAL MEDIA: GLOBAL FINDINGS DIGITAL JOURNALISM: MAKING NEWS, BREAKING NEWS Mapping Digital Media is a project of the Open Society Program on Independent Journalism and the Open Society Information Program Th e project assesses the global opportunities and risks that are created for media by the switch- over from analog broadcasting to digital broadcasting; the growth of new media platforms as sources of news; and the convergence of traditional broadcasting with telecommunications. Th ese changes redefi ne the ways that media can operate sustainably while staying true to values of pluralism and diversity, transparency and accountability, editorial independence, freedom of expression and information, public service, and high professional standards. Th e project, which examines the changes in-depth, builds bridges between researchers and policymakers, activists, academics and standard-setters. It also builds policy capacity in countries where this is less developed, encouraging stakeholders to participate in and infl uence change. At the same time, this research creates a knowledge base, laying foundations for advocacy work, building capacity and enhancing debate. Covering 56 countries, the project examines how these changes aff ect the core democratic service that any media system should provide—news about political, economic and social aff airs. Th e MDM Country Reports are produced by local researchers and partner organizations in each country. Cumulatively, these reports provide a unique resource on the democratic role of digital media. In addition to the country reports, research papers on a range of topics related to digital media have been published as the MDM Reference Series. Th ese publications are all available at http://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/projects/mapping-digital-media.

  • Historical Guide to Nassau County
    Historical Guide to Nassau County NASSAU COUNTY CLERK 240 OLD COUNTRY ROAD MINEOLA, NEW YORK 11501 Visit our website: www.nassaucountyny.gov MAUREEN O’CONNELL, NASSAU COUNTY CLERK History of Nassau County’s Seal Adopted: Coat of Arms, Seal & Flag At the first meeting of the Nassau County Board of Supervisors on January 3, 1899, the Board passed their first resolution providing for a County Coat of Arms, Seal, and Flag. The county coat of arms was to include, "Arms, azure, lion rampant or, between seven billets." The Flag was "to be orange, charged with the arms of the County of Nassau." The Board's intent was to adopt the same general coat of arms design used by the House of Nassau. The House of Nassau The House of Nassau was created in 1159 when Count Walram of Laurenburg changed his name to Walram of Nassau; his family living in the castle of the same name located in Western Germany until the 15th century. In the 1200's the family split into two branches: one remained as the House of Nassau, and the other became the Royal Family of the Netherlands. 1 Historical GUIDE TO NASSAU COUNTY Why a Lion? The lion is the most important figure in heraldry (recording of honors), symbolizing the fierceness, bravery and wisdom of the king of beasts. He's almost always rampant, meaning in an upright position. Designed to trace its historical background to "The House of Nassau", the rampant lion was commonly used on a coat of arms. To separate the seal from others, it was covered with shingles (billets); the colors, a golden lion on a blue field with golden shingles (billets).
