Herald-Tribune – Partnerships and Diversification President Oppel convened board members, staff and legal counsel in executive session at Noon. In his report, Mr. Oppel thanked everyone for their hard work this year. Mr. Oppel stated that the newsroom employment census numbers would be released on Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. He spoke briefly about the Readership Initiative and the extensive work that has been put into this project by all. He also directed those in attendance to the reports that were produced by the 2000-01 committees for release at the convention. Mr. Bosley stated that this year’s committees produced considerable good works including the Leadership Conference, the Readership Initiative, the Freedom Forum First Amendment Center project, and the Credibility Handbook. Mr. Seaton reported that the ASNE Foundation currently has assets totaling $1.6 million. He noted that the larger grants that the Foundation receives to operate projects are not included in this total. Mr. Seaton noted that there is $100,000 set aside to fund committee work and projects in 2001-02. Mr. Seaton said that a proposal to explore the viability of an endowment campaign would go before the ASNE Foundation Board of Directors at their meeting on Tuesday. Mr. Seaton noted that the Foundation received 123 individual contributions and that all of the board members and Foundation board members had contributed this year. 1499 Vice president McGuire announced he had established a new committee for his year as President. It will be Creating Newspapers’ Future in Tough Times and will be headed by Peter Bhatia. Mr. McGuire also announced his recommendation for beginning an ASNE award for editorial leadership. He noted that for the time being there will be no monetary award given with the hopes that it may be funded in the future. Mr. McGuire announced a decision of the executive committee that David Laventhol would continue to be a member of the ASNE Awards Board as long as he chose to do so, instead of serving a standard three-year term and being re-elected every third year. Reporting as Secretary, Ms. McFarlin noted that ASNE membership is suffering this year due to the economic downturn of the industry. Ms. McFarlin said there were 35 applicants for membership. The Membership Review Committee recommended acceptance of 33 of those who were clearly eligible. The two questionable applicants were Victoria Graham, managing editor, Women’s Enews, and Cratis Hippocrates, group editorial learning and development manager, John Fairfax Holdings, Australia. Ms. McFarlin said the Membership Review Committee did not feel that Ms. Graham was eligible according to the membership guidelines. The board rejected the Graham application. Hippocrates’ application involved two concerns: the organization’s location outside the Americas and whether he qualified as a directing editor. After some discussion, the application was tabled until the next board meeting and the Membership Review Committee was asked to obtain additional information. Ms. McFarlin asked for permission from the board to allow Pam Johnson and Wanda Lloyd, both of whom have moved out of newsroom roles into journalism allied positions, to remain on the ASNE board until the completion of their terms. The board approved this motion. The following secretary’s report was approved. Since the board met in September, there have been three deaths and 32 resignations and ineligibilities. Ten members have requested transfer to the retired rolls. Four members paid 2000 dues after the September meeting and have been reinstated. Thirty-three applicants were elected; seven are former members. Membership is now 850; 650 active, 17 distinguished service, and 183 retired. This compares to 914 at the same time last year.

    POLITICO, John Harris and Carrie Budoff Brown

    STATEMENTS FROM NEWS ORGS EXCLUDED – POLITICO, John Harris and Carrie Budoff Brown: “We’ve reached out to the White House, and rest assured that we plan to very vigorously assert and defend an independent media’s right to cover the institution of the Presidency. Selectively excluding news organizations from White House briefings is misguided and our expectation is that this action will not be repeated. We have one of the largest teams in Washington covering this White House—a major editorial and financial commitment on behalf of our audience. This commitment is an enduring one, and our coverage of the Trump Administration will of course continue without interruption.” --WASHPOST, Marty Baron: “It’s appalling that the White House would exclude news outlets like the New York Times, CNN, Politico, the Los Angeles Times, and BuzzFeed from its publicly announced briefings. This is an undemocratic path that the administration is traveling. There is nothing to be gained from the White House restricting the public’s access to information. We are currently evaluating what our response will be if this sort of thing happens again." – Marty Baron, Washington Post. --NYT, Dean Baquet: “Nothing like this has ever happened at the White House in our long history of covering multiple administrations of different parties. We strongly protest the exclusion of The New York Times and the other news organizations. Free media access to a transparent government is obviously of crucial national interest.” --BUZZFEED: “While we strongly object to the White House’s apparent attempt to punish news outlets whose coverage it does not like, we won’t let these latest antics distract us from continuing to cover this administration fairly and aggressively.” --CNN: “This is an unacceptable development by the Trump White House.

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.

    Seen from 2020'S Tumult

    ARAB TIMES, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2021 NEWS/FEATURES 13 People & Places Media Hiaasen quits Miami Herald Search is on for new leaders in journalism NEW YORK, Feb 1, (AP): The “help wanted” list for top management jobs in journalism is suddenly get- ting very long. Searches for new leaders at brand names like The Washington Post, ABC News and the Los Angeles Times are coming at a time of rapid change in the news industry and increased attention paid to diversity in decision-making roles. The two latest openings came this week when Marty Baron, the executive editor who transformed the Post over the past eight years, and ABC News President James Goldston both said they will step down over the next two months. The Los Angeles Times is further along in its search for a successor to Executive Editor Norman Pearlstine. The Reuters news agency is looking to replace its editor-in-chief, Stephen Adler, who is retiring on April 1. HuffPost and Vox Media need leaders, too. Dean Baquet, executive edi- tor of The New York Times, is the subject of speculation, both because his job is the golden ring of journalism and he’s 64 years old. By tradition, the Jones Times’ top editor steps down before reaching 66. CNN chief Jeff Zucker, whose name was frequently invoked by former President Donald Trump during his administration’s battles with the media, is expected to announce soon whether or not he will move on. Both Baron and Goldston cited the end of an in- tense election cycle and its exhaustive pace of news as a natural time to turn the page.

Using portraits of Mrs. Nieman’s mother and father as references, he worked with cut pages from Nieman Reports and from the Foundation’s archival material to create this likeness. About the portrait on page 6: Alexandra Garcia (left), NF ’13, an Emmy Award-winning multimedia journalist with The Washington Post, based her acrylic portrait with collage on the photograph of Agnes Wahl Nieman standing with her husband, Lucius Nieman, in the pressroom of The Milwaukee Journal. The photograph was likely taken in the mid-1920s when Mrs. Nieman would have been in her late 50s or 60s. Garcia took inspiration from her Fellowship and from the Foundation’s archives to present a younger depiction of Mrs. Nieman.
