Thank you for joining us to celebrate fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community in the media. Tonight, as we recognize outstanding achievements and bold visions, we also take pause to remember the impact of our most powerful tool: our voice. The past year in news, entertainment and online media reminds us that our stories are what continue to drive equality forward. When four states brought marriage equality to the election FROM THE PRESIDENT ballot last year, GLAAD stepped forward to help couples across the nation to share messages of love and commitment that lit the way for landmark victories in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington. Now, the U.S. Supreme Court will weigh in on whether same- sex couples should receive the same federal protections as straight married couples, and GLAAD is leading the media narrative and reshaping the way Americans view marriage equality. Because of GLAAD’s work, the Boy Scouts of America is closer than ever before to ending its discriminatory ban on gay scouts and leaders. GLAAD is empowering people like Jennifer Tyrrell – an Ohio mom who was ousted as leader of her son’s Cub Scouts pack – to share their stories with top-tier national news outlets, helping Americans understand the harm this ban inflicts on gay youth and families.

  • We Ain't Buying Guomo's Rcure' by MICHAEL GOODWIN Last Updated: 3:27 AM, April 10,2013
    Goodwin: Cuomo's latest weakbid to combat political comrption -... http:l/www.nypost.conVflprinVnews/local/we ainnuying_cuomo-cu... We ain't buying Guomo's rcure' By MICHAEL GOODWIN Last Updated: 3:27 AM, April 10,2013 Posfed; 1 :33 AM, April 10, 2013 lf chicken soup can cure Albany's epidemic of corruption, New Yorkers will be feeling better soon, thanks to the nostrums Gov. Cuomo dished out yesterday. ln a dreary event that smacked of a placeholder for real action, Cuomo summoned a handful of district attorneys to tout changes aimed at making it easier to use state laws to prosecute political corruption. Some penalties would be increased and standards lowered for conviction, moves Cuomo claimed would give prosecutors "the tools they need." Maybe, but it's not legal hurdles that keep DAs from doing corruption cases. They themselves are part of the political system, backed by the party bosses and running with some of the people they should be prosecuting. That's the main reason corruption cases usually fall to federal prosecutors, and the new laws wouldn't change that. Cuomo flicked at that fact in an answer to a reporter's question, just as he flicked at a question about term limits. Neither subject elicited much enthusiasm. Then again, neither did talk of corruption itself light the governor's fire. lf he's lost his famous temper over the explosion of scandals, he's doing a good job of hiding it. Too good for my taste. Where's the passion? Where's the righteous anger at those who have betrayed the public trust? It was missing in action, as it has been for the last week.

  • The Art and Science of Data-Driven Journalism
    The Art and Science of Data-driven Journalism Executive Summary Journalists have been using data in their stories for as long as the profession has existed. A revolution in computing in the 20th century created opportunities for data integration into investigations, as journalists began to bring technology into their work. In the 21st century, a revolution in connectivity is leading the media toward new horizons. The Internet, cloud computing, agile development, mobile devices, and open source software have transformed the practice of journalism, leading to the emergence of a new term: data journalism. Although journalists have been using data in their stories for as long as they have been engaged in reporting, data journalism is more than traditional journalism with more data. Decades after early pioneers successfully applied computer-assisted reporting and social science to investigative journalism, journalists are creating news apps and interactive features that help people understand data, explore it, and act upon the insights derived from it. New business models are emerging in which data is a raw material for profit, impact, and insight, co-created with an audience that was formerly reduced to passive consumption. Journalists around the world are grappling with the excitement and the challenge of telling compelling stories by harnessing the vast quantity of data that our increasingly networked lives, devices, businesses, and governments produce every day. While the potential of data journalism is immense, the pitfalls and challenges to its adoption throughout the media are similarly significant, from digital literacy to competition for scarce resources in newsrooms. Global threats to press freedom, digital security, and limited access to data create difficult working conditions for journalists in many countries.

    PFIZER PAC & CORPORATE POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS REPORT 2005 – 2006 CYCLE Learn which candidates we supported in your community PFIZER PAC ~ OUR VOICE IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS A Message From Rich Bagger, Chairman Pfizer PAC Dear Colleagues: One of our five immediate priorities at Pfizer is to engage more actively and meaningfully with patients, doctors, payers, governments and other key stakeholders. We’re reaching out to these important groups and working harder to meet their needs. We're also working harder to engage all stakeholders in the dialogue on health policy and actively participate in the discussion over how to improve the quality of healthcare, access to medicines, and incentives for innovation. Pfizer PAC is one of the key ways in which we engage with candidates for public office. Through Pfizer PAC, we support candidates who understand the importance of innovative life sciences companies like Pfizer in fighting disease, improving health outcomes, and ensuring access to vital medicines. This report includes a list of candidates and political committees that Pfizer PAC supported during the 2005-06 election cycle. I hope you will take some time to review this report and see which candidates Pfizer PAC supported in your region. This was a successful year for Pfizer PAC. In the past election cycle, Pfizer PAC supported more than 2,277 candidates from both political parties, and at all levels of government. You, and Pfizer colleagues across America, definitely made a difference this past year through Pfizer PAC, by supporting candidates for public office who value access and innovation in healthcare. Thank you for your support—this report explains how Pfizer PAC put your generous contributions to use.
