  • Ethics for Digital Journalists
    ETHICS FOR DIGITAL JOURNALISTS The rapid growth of online media has led to new complications in journalism ethics and practice. While traditional ethical principles may not fundamentally change when information is disseminated online, applying them across platforms has become more challenging as new kinds of interactions develop between jour- nalists and audiences. In Ethics for Digital Journalists , Lawrie Zion and David Craig draw together the international expertise and experience of journalists and scholars who have all been part of the process of shaping best practices in digital journalism. Drawing on contemporary events and controversies like the Boston Marathon bombing and the Arab Spring, the authors examine emerging best practices in everything from transparency and verifi cation to aggregation, collaboration, live blogging, tweet- ing, and the challenges of digital narratives. At a time when questions of ethics and practice are challenged and subject to intense debate, this book is designed to provide students and practitioners with the insights and skills to realize their potential as professionals. Lawrie Zion is an Associate Professor of Journalism at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia, and editor-in-chief of the online magazine upstart. He has worked as a broadcaster with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and as a fi lm journalist for a range of print publications. He wrote and researched the 2007 documentary The Sounds of Aus , which tells the story of the Australian accent. David Craig is a Professor of Journalism and Associate Dean at the University of Oklahoma in the United States. A former newspaper copy editor, he is the author of Excellence in Online Journalism: Exploring Current Practices in an Evolving Environ- ment and The Ethics of the Story: Using Narrative Techniques Responsibly in Journalism .

Margaret Flinter: It really has gone by quickly and it's been a lot of fun and hopefully very informative. Mark Masselli: I find the conversations we are having with health care innovators having me go back and rethink some of the ways we are providing care at the health center. Margaret Flinter: You are right. And on so many diferent many levels it really is about the innovations that are transforming the way we deliver care. You can just feel the profound efect that these redesigns are having from reducing wait times to changing the way we think about treating patients all improving the quality of the care we give and we receive. Mark Masselli: I am very excited about this but I am still restless about the time it takes to find out about these changes. Hopefully, we are adding to the body of knowledge for providers and consumers about better ways to care for our community. Margaret Flinter: Well, we are trying, and we could not do this without the help of our producer Lucy Nalpathanchil. Mark Masselli: Thanks Lucy. One of the high points of doing this show is hearing from listeners from all over the country.

Ben Page worked closely with the co-chairs on the final revisions and editing of the report. 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2 AAPOR was created by public research pioneers more than 60 years ago to encourage scientific research relating to American public opinion, under the conviction that the results of these scientific efforts should be available to the public itself and to the society’s leaders. This Task Force report has reviewed the current status of these goals. The report devotes major sections and an Appendix to a review of the philosophical and theoretical literature relating to public opinion and democracy, and to reviews of the empirical research on the relationship between public opinion and policymaking.

  • Post World War 2 Context
    The London School of Economics and Political Science Presidential Rhetoric Justifying Healthcare Reform: Continuity, Change & the Contested American Moral Order and Social Imaginary from Truman to Obama Noam Schimmel A Thesis Submitted to the Department of Media and Communications of the London School of Economics for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, September 2013 1 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it.) The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgment is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior consent. I warrant that this authorization does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis is 98, 147 words. 2 Abstract The original contribution to knowledge of my thesis is a comparative historical analysis of the rhetoric used by four Democratic presidents to expand access to and affordability of healthcare. Specifically, the thesis situates Democratic presidential healthcare reform rhetoric in relation to opposing conservative Republican ideologies of limited government and prioritization of negative liberty and their increasing prominence in the post-Reagan era. It examines how the American moral order and social imaginary has evolved and how Democratic presidential healthcare reform rhetoric was both informed by and responded to it.
