  • JOURNALISM at a JUNCTURE an Interim Report to the National Press Club Membership on the Nationwide 2008 Centennial Forums Program
    JOURNALISM AT A JUNCTURE An Interim Report to the National Press Club Membership on the Nationwide 2008 Centennial Forums Program. By Gil Klein Director, Centennial Forums Project January 16, 2009. For its 2008/9 centennial year, the National Press Club asked me to organize a nationwide series of forums to engage leading journalists, news media authorities, students and citizens in a conversation on “The First Amendment, Freedom of the Press and the Future of Journalism.” At each stop, we gathered a panel of print, broadcast and online journalists as well as a journalism academic or First Amendment scholar – about 130 in all -- to talk about where the news business is going and how to protect its core values as its underlying economic model changes. Crossing the Mississippi River a dozen times, I visited 24 states and the District of Columbia. The NPC president, former presidents and board members hosted events in another four states, and we held forums by live Webcast and two-way satellite communication from the Club to journalism school and public audiences in another six states. In all, the project reached thousands of people in audiences at 38 locations in 34 States and DC, usually at journalism schools, regional Press Clubs and civic auditoriums. Add in C-SPAN’s coverage of the New York City forum, broadcast on local community access television, university channels and public radio stations, as well as public radio interviews, and the project reached a nationwide audience of many thousands more. I bring you greetings from press clubs that co-sponsored our forums in Atlanta, San Diego, Denver, Milwaukee, New Orleans and Naples, Fla.

  • 2011 State of the News Media Report
    Overview By Tom Rosenstiel and Amy Mitchell of the Project for Excellence in Journalism By several measures, the state of the American news media improved in 2010. After two dreadful years, most sectors of the industry saw revenue begin to recover. With some notable exceptions, cutbacks in newsrooms eased. And while still more talk than action, some experiments with new revenue models began to show signs of blossoming. Among the major sectors, only newspapers suffered continued revenue declines last year—an unmistakable sign that the structural economic problems facing newspapers are more severe than those of other media. When the final tallies are in, we estimate 1,000 to 1,500 more newsroom jobs will have been lost—meaning newspaper newsrooms are 30% smaller than in 2000. Beneath all this, however, a more fundamental challenge to journalism became clearer in the last year. The biggest issue ahead may not be lack of audience or even lack of new revenue experiments. It may be that in the digital realm the news industry is no longer in control of its own future. News organizations — old and new — still produce most of the content audiences consume. But each technological advance has added a new layer of complexity—and a new set of players—in connecting that content to consumers and advertisers. In the digital space, the organizations that produce the news increasingly rely on independent networks to sell their ads. They depend on aggregators (such as Google) and social networks (such as Facebook) to bring them a substantial portion of their audience. And now, as news consumption becomes more mobile, news companies must follow the rules of device makers (such as Apple) and software developers (Google again) to deliver their content.

HAWN CB5 .H3 no. '34S'!; 11 Abstract The 24-hour news cycle is not a significant factor affecting the overall quality of television news in the United States. Nine journalists and former journalists were interviewed to determine if the 24-hour news cycle has had an effect on the quality of television news. They did not agree that the 24-hour news cycle is degrading the quality of news; they did agree that the quality of television news in the United States is degrading. The journalists also agreed that television news within the 24-hour news cycle can be of high quality if the organizations and the journalists working within those organizations make a commitment to doing high quality television news . • 111 Table of contents Chapter One: Introduction ......................................................................... 1-5 Statement of the problem .................................................................. 1 Overview of research objectives .........................................................

Let the Sun Shine on the Supreme Court+ by MARJORIE COHN* When the Supreme Court entertained arguments in one of the most notorious cases ever decided, it worked virtually in private. In Bush v. Gore,' the Court handed victory to a President who would usurp unprecedented executive power.2 The ramifications of that decision will reverberate for years to come. But the nine justices convened before just 80 members of the public. C-SPAN chairman Brian Lamb had written to Chief Justice Rehnquist: "We respectfully suggest that televised coverage.., would be an immense public service and would help the country understand and accept the outcome of the election.",3 CNN attorney Floyd Abrams wrote, "There has never been a case where the public's right to observe judicial proceedings has been more important than this one. ' 4 The high court's rejection of the petition filed by C-SPAN and CNN to allow television broadcast of the historic argument was a foregone conclusion.

  • Duck When a Conflict of Interest Blinds You: Judicial Conflicts of Interest in the Matters of Scalia and Ginsburg
    Duck When a Conflict of Interest Blinds You: Judicial Conflicts of Interest in the Matters of Scalia and Ginsburg By MARIANNE M. JENNINGS* AND NIM RAZOOK** It's acceptablepractice to socialize with executive branch officials when there are not personal claims against them. That's all I'm going to say for now. Quack, quack. -Justice Antonin Scalia1 THE DUCK FEATHERS flew after Justice Antonin Scalia, a close friend of Vice President Dick Cheney, flew to Louisiana with the Vice President on a government plane. This sojourn occurred just after the Supreme Court had granted certiorari in a case in which the Vice President was the named petitioner.2 Scalia's above quoted comment responded to mounting pressure from the press as well as from the opposing parties and amicus that he recuse himself from that case.3 While Scalia was roasted by the media, battles along political ideo- logical lines emerged. Attention heightened when conservative groups resorted to the time-tested saying of, "That's a pot calling the kettle black" and pointed to various activities of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Thanks to the vigilance of the pot group, or perhaps the kettle group, we soon learned that on January 29, 2004, Justice Gins- burg addressed the National Organization for Women's ("NOW") Le- gal Defense and Education Fund annual dinner.4 Just fifteen days prior to her address Justice Ginsburg had taken the position advanced * Professor of Legal and Ethical Studies, W.P.

Carter Olson, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, 2013 In 1891, the Women’s Press Club of Pittsburgh met in the offices of the old Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette for the first time. Over the next 120 years, the women comprising this club found places for women in the public sphere by opening doors for newswomen. The clubwomen thus actively challenged widely held conventions about feminine limitations, and, as Hazel Garland, one of the club’s few African American members and the first woman managing editor of The Pittsburgh Courier, said, they reached behind and pulled up those women who came after them. WPCP members flew in hot air balloons, covered both WWI and WWII, funded scholarships for younger women, stood up to racism within their own ranks, and were some of the first women to enter post-game locker rooms with male sports reporters.
