With a staff of experienced investigative reporters and pundits, The Lens merges the accuracy, fairness and thoroughness of traditional journalism with the speed, urgency and interactivity of online media. This hybrid model is well-suited to New Orleans, a city where residents count media watchdogs as allies in the struggle to rebuild a better community in the face of limited resources.

At our inception we promised that we would provide this community with information and analysis that could be used to make informed decisions. We promised that we would be the independent voice that New Orleans and the Gulf Coast could rely on. We have kept that promise. The evidence includes Karen Gadbois whose reporting about the New Orleans Police Force’s double standard regarding exposing records of murder victims, resulted in her being the 2012 recipient of the Society of Professional Journalists’ annual Ethics in Journalism Award. The evidence includes reporting on and providing analysis of the forty odd school systems operating in the City of New Orleans. The Lens is determined to continue this effort of educating the community LETTER about our fragmented public education system. What The Lens has created is a one-stop resource for FROM THE meaningful and specific information about charter school governance in New Orleans. CHAIRMAN The evidence includes a dedicated and expanded environmental section lead by a seasoned reporter devoted to the kind of analyses that The Lens is noted for. The evidence includes an in-depth analysis of political structures that surround this community both on a local, state and national level, always with the intent of providing information that helps to create an informed public. The Lens remains committed to providing New Orleans and the Gulf Coast with information and analysis necessary to advocate for more accountable and just governance. This is where The Lens is today and where The Lens will forever remain. Retired Judge Calvin Johnson, The Lens Board Chairman The Lens 2012 Annual Report TheLensNola.org 2 2 Dear Readers, As we enter another year here at The Lens — our fourth — there have been some exciting changes. New partners, new hires and new offices. You’ll find the details in other parts of this annual report. In 2012, we said goodbye to my friend and fellow co-founder Ariella Cohen. She moved to Philadelphia last March to take on a new challenge as executive editor of Next American City. We wish her well! Ariella played a crucial role in the creation of The Lens and continues to lend us her wit and wisdom by LETTER serving on our board of directors. FROM THE The Lens’ mission is unchanged: We remain committed to finding news where others don’t—or won’t. We try to engage citizens in government and to force government out of the shadows where corruption and FOUNDER flawed policy breed. The Lens staff continues to be widely honored for these efforts. For my part, in August I was grateful to be awarded the Ethics in Journalism Award by the Society of Professional Journalists. The award came our way after I reported on the New Orleans Police Department’s practice of releasing the arrest records of victims of violent crime. The implication — often inaccurate and always distasteful — was that “they had it coming.” While the rest of the news media focused on reporting the tragic details of a violent and deadly carjacking, I discovered that the victim, a Samaritan shot by carjackers as he tried to rescue the woman whose car they had targeted, also had an arrest record, a record the NOPD had chosen not to make public. The obvious inequity we had identified led to a change in NOPD policy. It wasn’t an easy story and it wasn’t a universally popular story, given the Samaritan’s death, but it was an important story. With your continued support as a Lens reader and member, we will continue to do stories like it — stories that probe issues ranging from land use to criminal justice, from government finance to the fight to save our vanishing coast. And we will remain the only news outlet comprehensively covering the city’s numerous charter schools. I thank you all for your support and engagement.

  • Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage
    Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Aaron Joseph Johnson All rights reserved ABSTRACT Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson This dissertation is a study of jazz on American radio. The dissertation's meta-subjects are mediation, classification, and patronage in the presentation of music via distribution channels capable of reaching widespread audiences. The dissertation also addresses questions of race in the representation of jazz on radio. A central claim of the dissertation is that a given direction in jazz radio programming reflects the ideological, aesthetic, and political imperatives of a given broadcasting entity. I further argue that this ideological deployment of jazz can appear as conservative or progressive programming philosophies, and that these tendencies reflect discursive struggles over the identity of jazz. The first chapter, "Jazz on Noncommercial Radio," describes in some detail the current (circa 2013) taxonomy of American jazz radio. The remaining chapters are case studies of different aspects of jazz radio in the United States. Chapter 2, "Jazz is on the Left End of the Dial," presents considerable detail to the way the music is positioned on specific noncommercial stations. Chapter 3, "Duke Ellington and Radio," uses Ellington's multifaceted radio career (1925-1953) as radio bandleader, radio celebrity, and celebrity DJ to examine the medium's shifting relationship with jazz and black American creative ambition.

  • An Abbreviated Article, Part 1
    An Abbreviated Article The title of this article might indicate to the reader that this may be a shortened offering from yours truly, but instead it is on the topic of abbreviations commonly used in the Crescent City, or as some might say: NOLA. Abbreviations are shortened forms of words or longer phrases found in almost every field or discipline of our daily lives, from commonly used abbreviations in names or titles, such as Mr., as in Mr. Bingle, or Dr., as in Dr. John., to quite commonly used local abbreviations, such as MB for Maison Blanche, and KB or K&B for Katz and Besthoff. They are commonplace in the use of weights and measures, distances, medicine, cooking and baking. And if you need directions, it’s best you know location abbreviations such as Blvd. and Ave. That’s where New Orleans’ neutral grounds are usually located. These ads ran side by side in the New Orleans Item, September 21, 1938. On the same page was an ad for the L & L Shop at 622 Canal. Many abbreviations have been used for so many years in New Orleans that we have forgotten what the original letters stood for. For example, there’s P&J’s Oysters, key supplier of oysters to restaurants locally as well as nationally. John Popich was the “P” and Joe Jurisich was the “J”, but Alfred Sunseri, a cousin of Joe Jurisich, was the driving force, and all these many years later, P&J’s is still run by the Sunseri family. And the A&G Cafeterias, just like K&B and MB, “ain’t dere no more”.

  • UPTOWN CAMPUS LARGE GROUP WALKING TOUR Hello, and Welcome to Tulane University! This Is an Abridged Tour Script Written Specifically for Large Groups Visiting Campus
    UPTOWN CAMPUS LARGE GROUP WALKING TOUR Hello, and welcome to Tulane University! This is an abridged tour script written specifically for large groups visiting campus. Please begin your tour at Gibson Hall (#1), the location of the Office of Undergraduate Admission. This tour will end at the Lavin-Bernick Center for University Life, or LBC (#29). Throughout your tour, you’ll find building names followed by numbers which correspond to those on our campus map. Enjoy your visit! History and Makeup of Tulane University Tulane was founded in 1834 as the Medical College of Louisiana in an effort to address the recent epidemics of Yellow Fever. In 1884, New Jersey merchant Paul Tulane donated over $1 million to endow a university “for the promotion and encouragement of intellectual, moral and industrial education.” He had made his fortune in New Orleans, and his gift expressed his appreciation for the city. Paul Tulane’s donation established the Tulane Educational Fund, which today has grown to more than $1 billion. Subsequently, the Medical College of Louisiana changed its name to the Tulane University of Louisiana. Tulane University is now comprised of 10 schools, most of which are on the Uptown Campus, with the exception of the School of Medicine, the School of Public Health & Tropical Medicine, and the School of Social Work, which are located downtown at Tulane’s original campus in the New Orleans BioDistrict. Tulane undergraduates – while all members of Newcomb-Tulane Undergraduate College – study across 5 schools: Architecture, Business, Liberal Arts, Public Health, and Science & Engineering. As you walk through campus, you’ll find a mix of both old and new buildings.
