We have never had a more open ecosystem for the expression of information and ideas”. Richard Gingras, Director of news and social products at Google August 9, 2012 in Chicago. (Gingras, 2012)1 Journalists were once defined by where they worked; in newspapers, or radio and television stations. Now, the internet promises everyone, everywhere can be a publisher. But not everyone has the skills or training to be a journalist; defined by their professional practices and codes of ethics.
  • Ethics for Digital Journalists

    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 .

    Writing 5 Section Descriptions for Fall Term 2016

    http://oracle-www.dartmouth.edu/dart/groucho/course_desc.engl5... Registrar Home > Writing 5 Section Descriptions for Fall Term 2016 Writing 5 introduces Dartmouth students to the writing process that characterizes intellectual work in the academy and in educated public discourse. Each section of Writing 5 organizes its writing assignments around challenging readings chosen by the instructor. The course focuses primarily on the writing process, emphasizing careful reading and analysis, thoughtful questions, and strategies of effective argument. Below you will find a list of the courses being offered next term. Re-order by Class Hour Writing 5 -- Expository Writing Section 01 Hour: 11; Instructor: Andreea Aldea Description: Powers of Imagination: Possibility and Conceivability in Philosophy and Science Philosophy has a long history of asking questions about the import of the imagination for theoretical thought. Questions such as the following have been at the forefront of philosophical thought since its Greek inception: How do we engage that which is radically other? How do we challenge our assumptions and presuppositions? How do we propose novel pathways for inquiry? How do we come to deem certain pathways possible? What is the relation between possibility and conceivability? We will look closely at three figures in the history of these questions – Aristotle, Galileo, and Kuhn – and study not only what they have to say about the imagination, but also, more importantly, how they put its powers to use in their own work. We will also consider contemporary discussions, which take up these thinkers’ works and further investigate their proposals. Aristotle, Galileo, and Kuhn all recognized the power of writing and harnessed it accordingly.

  • Learning How to “Talk Books”

    Learning How to “Talk Books”

    Presenting An Independent Study Conducted by Stephanie Selah Learning How To “Talk Books” A Guide to the Contemporary Publishing Industry A Guide to This Guide April 17, 2007 Dear Publishing Enthusiast, You may be wondering to yourself why I am qualified to be writing a guide to the publishing industry. You may even be asking yourself, “What does she know about publishing? After all, she’s still an undergraduate living in Pittsburgh.” If these were your initial thoughts, I have a confession to make: I am not an expert on the publishing industry. But, I hope to become one, or at least work in the publishing industry in the near future. In an effort to increase my knowledge—and yours—about the world of book publishing, and specifically the strategies and techniques involved in successfully marketing published books, I have created this multi-faceted guide as: • a reference (see “Walk the Walk, Talk the Talk”; “Industry Report”; and “So You Want to Be in Publishing?”); • an insight into professional publishing careers at both a large trade publisher and an independent press (see “Publishing Profiles”); • and a memoir (see “On a Personal Note: A Summer Publishing Internship in the Big Apple”). Researching, writing, and compiling this guide have allowed me to explore and combine two areas of study that I am most passionate about: literature and marketing. Additionally, creating this guide has also allowed me to gain a greater insight into the career path to which I am drawn, and I only hope that after reading this guide, you too will be better informed about pursuing a career in this competitive and rewarding industry.

A panel of judges will pre-select their 10 favourite written submissions to bring to life in the beautiful Millennium Place Theatre. Cash and prizes will be awarded for Best Comedy Writing, and of course, The People’s Choice award (chosen by our audience) will go to the best act of the evening.
