  • Journolist: Isolated Case Or the Tip of the Iceberg? - Csmonitor.Com Page 1 of 2
    JournoList: Isolated case or the tip of the iceberg? - CSMonitor.com Page 1 of 2 JournoList: Isolated case or the tip of the iceberg? Some of the liberal reporters in the JournoList online discussion group suggested that political biases should shape news coverage. Is the principle of journalistic impartiality disappearing? A screen shot of 'The Daily Caller' website on Thursday, which has published more of the 'Journolist' entries on the state of journalism today. By Patrik Jonsson, Staff writer posted July 22, 2010 at 9:30 am EDT Atlanta — Reporters fantasizing about ramming conservatives through plate glass windows or gleefully watching Rush Limbaugh perish: Welcome to the wild and wooly new world of journalism courtesy of the JournoList. A conservative website, the Daily Caller, has begun publishing some of the 25,000 entries by 400 left-leaning journalists who were a part of the online community known as JournoList. In these entries, reporters and media types debate the news of the day, often in intemperate and unguarded terms – like now-former Washington Post reporter David Weigel's suggestion that conservative webmeister Matt Drudge "set himself on fire." Another suggested that members of the group label some Barack Obama as critics racists in their reporting. It is possible, perhaps probable, that the fedora-coiffed journalists of old might have entertained similar thoughts about political characters of the day. But JournoList raises the question of how thoroughly the tone and character of the no-holds-barred blogosphere are reshaping the mainstream media. While it is not clear that the JournoList exchanges influenced coverage, they parroted the snarky language of the blogosphere as well as its pandering to political biases – in some cases, suggesting that those biases should be reflected in news coverage.

  • The Senate in Transition Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Nuclear Option1
    \\jciprod01\productn\N\NYL\19-4\NYL402.txt unknown Seq: 1 3-JAN-17 6:55 THE SENATE IN TRANSITION OR HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE NUCLEAR OPTION1 William G. Dauster* The right of United States Senators to debate without limit—and thus to filibuster—has characterized much of the Senate’s history. The Reid Pre- cedent, Majority Leader Harry Reid’s November 21, 2013, change to a sim- ple majority to confirm nominations—sometimes called the “nuclear option”—dramatically altered that right. This article considers the Senate’s right to debate, Senators’ increasing abuse of the filibuster, how Senator Reid executed his change, and possible expansions of the Reid Precedent.

  • The Sunrise Movement's Hybrid Organizing
    The Sunrise Movement’s Hybrid Organizing: The elements of a massive decentralized and sustained social movement Sarah Lasoff Urban and Environmental Policy Department Occidental College May 11th, 2020 Acknowledgements I would like to thank Professor Matsuoka and the Urban and Environmental Policy department for giving me a place to study this movement. I would like to thank Professor Peter Dreier, Professor Marisol León, Professor Philip Ayoub for teaching me about organizing and social movements. I would like to thank Melissa Mateo and Kayla Williams for sharing your wisdom, your leadership, and passion for change with me. I would like to thank Sunrise organizers, Sara Blazevic, William Lawrence, Danielle Reynolds, Monica Guzman, and Ina Morton for sharing their wisdom and stories with me. I would like to thank the entire Sunrise Movement for already bringing so much change, but more importantly, for it’s current fight for a better future. And finally, I would like to thank my mom, Karen, for being the first person to tell me I can make a difference and my sister, Sophie, for being the person to show me how. 1 Abstract My senior comprehensive project focuses on the Sunrise Movement’s organizing strategies in order to determine how to build massive decentralized social movements. My research question asks, “How does the Sunrise Movement incorporate both structure-based and mass protest strategies in their organizing to build a massive decentralized social movement?” What I found: Sunrise is, theoretically, a mass protest movement that integrates elements of structure based organizing, a hybrid of the two. Sunrise builds a base of active popular support or “people power” and electoral power through the cycles of momentum, moral protest, distributed organizing, local organizing, training, and national organizing with the hopes of using that power in order to engage in mass noncooperation and manifest a new political alignment or “people’s alignment” in the United States.

  • Online Information Sources: Government Expenditures
    Online Information Sources: Government Expenditures Compiled by Daniel Agostino August 2016 This report was published by the Global Development and Environment Institute at Tufts University as part of GDAE’s Public Economy Project. To learn more about this project, please contact [email protected] http://ase.tufts.edu/gdae Online Information Sources: Government Expenditures Compiled by Daniel Agostino for Tufts University’s Global Development and Environment Institute. Introduction This paper serves two purposes: 1) It provides and briefly analyzes data on federal, state and local government spending, making comparisons among sources. 2) It offers a guide to online sources of information about expenditures by federal, state and local governments. It is preliminary; it does not cover all possible sources. The research discussed herein was undertaken as a task which is part of a larger GDAE project on the public economy. The initial task is to identify “all” reported government expenditures in order to compare that amount with “government output” as reported in GDP. We found that government as a percentage of GDP varies widely among data sources. There are numerous sources of data and information about government spending, and they provide sometimes conflicting information. Below is a list of descriptions and differences among those sources. The average citizen or researcher who has a desire to learn about American government spending will likely turn to Google or another search engine on the internet to find answers and to collect data. We set out to see what they would find and to examine those sources that appear first in the search results, as well as some journalistic analysis with high visibility.

  • COMM 673: Public Intellectuals 4 Units
    COMM 673: Public Intellectuals 4 units Fall 2020 – Tuesdays – 12:30-3:20 p.m. Section: 20900D Location: https://blackboard.usc.edu/ Instructor: Henry Jenkins Office: ASC-101C Office Hours: Virtual office hours by appointment. Contact assistant. (Info below.) Contact Info: [email protected] Assistant: Amanda Ford Contact Info: [email protected] I. Course Description This class is designed to help promote the professional development of graduate students pursuing research in the fields of media and communication. The class was inspired by three primary concerns: 1. USC faculty engage in a broad range of public-facing professional practices which are expected and rewarded through promotion and merit raise practices, yet—for the most part—graduate students are trained with a primary focus on producing academic monographs and essays for peer-reviewed journals and without deep focus on this public-facing role. 2. The digital era has created a much broader range of opportunities for actively engaging as intellectuals in important political and cultural conversations outside of academia, yet there are still relatively few academics who are participating in these dialogues or reacting to arguments that are shaping other realms of professional activity (policy, law, business, education, etc.) 3. There is a growing range of different professions and industries seeking expertise in media and communication at a moment of profound technological and cultural change, yet, for the most part, graduate students are encouraged to think of these other opportunities as afterthoughts as they are being prepared almost entirely for careers as academics. II. Student Learning Outcomes My goals in this class are to expose you to the diversity of contemporary scholarly and intellectual practices, to encourage you to look closely at outstanding exemplars of work in these arenas, to create conversations with faculty members about their professional experiences, to help students think more deeply about their intellectual profile, and to offer some core advice and practical experiences.

  • The Use Deed Restrictions in Shaker Heights, Ohio
    Protection from Undesirable Neighbors: The Use Deed Restrictions in Shaker Heights, Ohio Virginia P. Dawson This is the “accepted version” of this article published in Journal of Planning History 18 (2), May 2019. The link for the final article is: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1538513218791466 Abstract: Stringent architectural and building restrictions were put in place as the Van Sweringen Company laid out Shaker Heights, Ohio, an exclusive planned community, incorporated in 1912. In 1925, as African Americans and Jews sought to purchase property there, the company devised and implemented a new restriction that, while containing no overtly discriminatory language, succeeded in achieving the company’s discriminatory objective. The company and, later, the City of Shaker Heights, would continue to enforce this restriction well beyond 1948 when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled religious and racial covenants unenforceable. Keywords: Shaker Heights, Cleveland, deed restrictions, anti-Semitism, racial discrimination, suburban planning, Van Sweringen Company, real estate, Newton D. Baker, African Americans When the Van Sweringen brothers developed Shaker Heights, Ohio, between 1905 and 1929, they did more than transform treeless farmland into an Olmsted-inspired suburb of unusual beauty. Located on a plateau 400 feet above industrial Cleveland’s soot and smoke, Shaker Heights offered clean air and congenial neighbors to those with the means to escape the city. The village, incorporated in 1912, the same year that Ohio municipalities won home rule, was named for the millennial religious sect that once owned the land. The Van Sweringen Company capitalized on this imagined association 1 with the spiritual values of the Shakers.

  • Isabel Wilkerson to Discuss the Warmth of Other Suns at the Library of Virginia on February 4 Contact: Janice M
    Isabel Wilkerson to Discuss The Warmth of Other Suns at the Library of Virginia on February 4 Contact: Janice M. Hathcock For Immediate Release 804-692-3592 On February 4, 2011, at 6:00 PM at the Library of Virginia, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Isabel Wilkerson will discuss and sign The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration, her moving masterwork chronicling the decades-long migration of black people from the South to the northern and western cities of the United States. From 1915 until 1970 almost six million black people fled the South looking for better life. Wilkerson uses the lives of three unique individuals to tell this story. She interviewed more than a thousand people and researched official records to write this dramatic account of how these journeys changed people and America. Isabel Wilkerson won the 1994 Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing as Chicago bureau chief of the New York Times , the first black woman to win the prize in journalism and the first African American to win for individual reporting. She has also won the George Polk Award and a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship. She is currently professor of journalism and director of narrative nonfiction at Boston University. During the Great Migration, her parents journeyed from Georgia and southern Virginia to Washington, D.C., where she was born and reared. The Library of Virginia is located at 800 East Broad Street in historic downtown Richmond. There is free parking for this event in the Library’s underground parking lot, which is accessible from either Eighth or Ninth streets.
