  • Storytelling and Social Media
    NIEMAN REPORTS Storytelling and Social Media HANNA, one of the subjects in “Maidan: Portraits from the Black Square,” Kiev, February 2014 Nieman Online From the Archives For some photojournalists, it’s the shots they didn’t take they remember best. In the Summer 1998 issue of Nieman Reports, Nieman Fellows Stan Grossfeld, David Turnley, Steve Northup, Stanley Forman, and Frank Van Riper reflect on the shots they missed, whether by mistake or by choice, in “The Best Picture I Never Took” series. Digital Strategy at The New York Times In a lengthy memo, The New York Times revealed that it hopes to double its “Made in Boston: Stories of Invention and Innovation” brought together, from left, author digital revenue to $800 million by 2020.

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. Video and images of the portraits’ creation can be seen at http://nieman.harvard.edu/agnes. A Nieman lasts a year ~ a Nieman lasts a lifetime SUMMER/FALL 2013 VOL.

  • “The Year 2018 Marks a New Chapter in the Story of How the Oligarchs Try to Kill the Alternative Press and Adversarial Reporting
    “The year 2018 marks a new chapter in the story of how the oligarchs try to kill the alternative press and adversarial reporting. Media titans and politicians are finding new ways to censor independent journalism on virtually every web plat- form under the banner of combating ‘fake news’ and ‘foreign propaganda.’ For truth-tellers and researchers facing this new assault, Project Censored and its annual book represent a vitally important tool for highlighting the crucial issues to know and struggles to follow, an essential guide for truth in a ‘post-truth’ society.” —Abby Martin, The Empire Files, from the foreword to Censored 2019 “Today’s fake news becomes tomorrow’s fake history. Since 1976, Project Censored has been both calling out media propaganda and censorship as well as highlighting the best of the independent press. If journalism is the rough draft of history, this book goes a long way to getting the record right the first time, stopping fake news in its tracks and ensuring that we have fewer Untold Histories in the future.” —Peter Kuznick and Oliver Stone, co-authors of The Untold History of the United States book and documentary series PRAISE FOR PREVIOUS CENSORED VOLUMES “A crucial contribution to the hope for a more just and democratic society.” —Noam Chomsky “Project Censored is a national treasure in American life, serving to remind us of how crucial it is to be vigilant about making the truth heard in the public sphere . Censored gives new meaning to the notion that critical citizens are at the core of a strong democracy and that informed resistance is not an option but a necessity.” —Henry A.
