She earned an MBA from Harvard Business School and a master’s degree in public administration from Princeton University. WuDunn has worked in investment management at Goldman, Sachs & Co. and was a commercial loan officer at Bankers Trust. In addition, she spent time at The New York Times as both a journalist and an executive. During her time as a journalist, WuDunn and her husband, Nicholas Kristof, won a Pulitzer Prize for their coverage of China’s Tiananmen Square movement in 1990. Nicholas Kristof grew up on a sheep and cherry farm near Yamhill, Oregon. He graduated from Harvard College and won a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford, where he studied law. He later studied Arabic in Cairo and Chinese in Taipei. Kristof’s work has taken him all over the world. He has lived on four continents, reported on six, and traveled to more than 150 countries, plus all 50 U.S. states, every Chinese province, and every main Japanese island. Joining The New York Times in 1984, Kristof initially covered economics. Since 2001, he has maintained an op-ed column. In addition to his 1990 Pulitzer honors for coverage of China’s Tiananmen Square movement, Kristof won a second Pulitzer Prize in 2006 for his journalistic coverage of the genocides in Darfur.

    9 RHODE (DO NOT DELETE) 5/26/2021 9:12 AM LEADERSHIP IN TIMES OF SOCIAL UPHEAVAL: LESSONS FOR LAWYERS Deborah L. Rhode* This article explores the leadership challenges that arose in the wake of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic and the widespread protests following the killing of an unarmed Black man, George Floyd. Lawyers have been key players in both crises, as politicians, general counsel, and leaders of protest movements, law firms, bar associations, and law enforcement agencies. Their successes and failures hold broader lessons for the profession generally. Even before the tumultuous spring of 2020, two-thirds of the public thought that the nation had a leadership crisis. The performance of leaders in the pandemic and the unrest following Floyd’s death suggests why. The article proceeds in three parts. Part I explores leadership challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic and the missteps that put millions of lives and livelihoods as risk. It begins by noting the increasing frequency and intensity of disasters, and the way that leadership failures in one arena—health, environmental, political, or socioeconomic—can have cascading effects in others. Discussion then summarizes key leadership attributes in preventing, addressing, and drawing policy lessons from major crises. Particular attention centers on the changes in legal workplaces that the lockdown spurred, and which ones should be retained going forward. Analysis also centers on gendered differences in the way that leaders addressed the pandemic and what those differences suggest about effective leadership generally. Part II examines leadership challenges in the wake of Floyd’s death for lawyers in social movements, political positions, private organizations, and bar associations.

Hoyt Purvis University of Arkansas Anonymous sources have been important factors in some of the major news stories of our time. But does this reliance on unnamed sources to too far? The use and possible abuse of anonymous sources is a matter of continuing controversy in the media and can have a direct bearing on the credibility of the media. Questions related to the use of such sources are examined in a study of the use of anonymous sources in 14 daily editions of three daily newspapers, focusing on the quantity of articles using anonymous sources, their subject matter, location, and rationale for using unnamed sources. This is done within the context of the ongoing controversy about the reliance on such sources in major news organizations. Results of this study are reported and analyzed and provide some clear indications about the extent and nature of the use of anonymous sources, and point to a possible over-dependence and problematic trend.

  • Future of Newspapers
    From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_of_newspapers Future of newspapers The future of newspapers has been widely debated as the industry has faced down soaring newsprint prices, slumping ad sales, the loss of much classified advertising and precipitous drops in circulation. In recent years the number of newspapers slated for closure, bankruptcy or severe cutbacks has risen— especially in the United States, where the industry has shed a fifth of its journalists since 2001. Revenue has plunged while competition from internet media has squeezed older print publishers. The debate has become more urgent lately, as a deepening recession has cut profits, and as once-explosive growth in newspaper web revenues has leveled off, forestalling what the industry hoped would become an important source of revenue. One issue is whether the newspaper industry is being hit by a cyclical trough, or whether new technology has rendered newspapers obsolete in their traditional format. To survive, newspapers are considering combining and other options, although the outcome of such partnerships has been criticised. Technological change comes to newspapers The increasing use of the internet's search function, primarily through large engines such as Google, has also changed the habits of readers. Instead of perusing general interest publications, such as newspapers, readers are more likely to seek particular writers, blogs or sources of information through targeted searches, rendering the agglomeration of newspapers increasingly irrelevant. "Power is shifting to the individual journalist from the news outlet with more people seeking out names through search, e-mail, blogs and social media," the industry publication Editor & Publisher noted in summarizing a recent study from the Project for Excellence in Journalism foundation.

  • Chapter 2: Challenges, Resources, and Recommendations
    CHAPTER Challenges, Resources, 2 and Recommendations The tools to crush modern slavery exist, but the political will is lacking. —Sheryl WuDunn he term human trafficking is becoming increasingly familiar among the Tgeneral public in the United States and perhaps even globally. However, a precise understanding of the magnitude of human trafficking is more difficult to grasp. Definitional disagreements, limited data, and unreliable measurement all result in a grave misunderstanding of the scope of human trafficking and its causes. Such misconceptions result in a lower prioritizationdistribute of trafficking in policy and a misallocation of resources for trafficking victims. There are some data and reports, however, that are considered reliable and informative, including the U.S. Department of State’s annual Trafficking in Persons Report, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime’s (UNODC’s)or Global Report on Trafficking in Persons, reports from the International Labour Organization, and reports from well-known nonprofit organizations such as Walk Free. While these resources are not without their own criticisms, they are the best resources we have to date. This chapter will review the general challenges faced when estimating the magnitude and complexities post,of human trafficking domestically and globally. Additionally, it will provide descriptions of the existing resources, their purposes, data collection strategies, criticisms they face, and their general contributions to the understanding of human trafficking. The chapter will conclude with a discus- sion of future directions for data collection and analyses. Challengescopy, to Understanding Human Trafficking The general population in the United States, and perhaps even the world, does not understand what human trafficking is, its complexities, and its massive reach.

    UIO WHAT’S MY IMAGE IN YOUR REPORTS Rediscussing Objectivity in International News ‐‐The Case of the New York Times and the People’s Daily MASTER THESIS Department of Media and Communication University of Oslo, Norway TAOTAO LIU SPING 2009 SUMMARY This is a 15-day research study aimed at showing how two newspapers, the New York Times and the People’s Daily, report on issues relating to each other countries i.e. The United States and China respectively. It is conducted in the comparative and analysis manner with the aim of finding out whether the two newspapers reported each other’s countries objectively. The quantitative and qualitative methods demonstrate that the problems related to objectivity that are reflected in the two newspapers are also connected to quantity and quality. This is because while reporting about Chinese issues, the New York Times had a total percentage of 67 of all its news items having a negative attitude. While reporting on the issues of the United States, the People’s Daily had more news items with a “superficial” neutral attitude. As a result, in certain aspects, the two elite newspapers violate the principle of objectivity. The differences between the two newspapers, such as the ownership, their writing style, and economy, culture and foreign policy, are the factors that resulted in the problems of the two newspapers that were reflected in this study. Nevertheless, the international integration has evolved into an unstoppable tendency, expanding from the economic field, slowly into the political and cultural field among different countries around the world. Objective international coverage could be the bridge that could connect countries and promote mutual understanding between them.
