There probably is no one answer to this question. Actually, there may be 35 million different ones. Independents are like that. The Neo-Independent (whose subscriber base is somewhat under 35 mil- lion) was created to foster such a national dialogue. “Back Road to the White House” is a piece of it – at the level of independent lead- ers, activists and journalists. I’m eager for many more voices to join the conversation. I hope this issue provides support and “framing” (to use a term popu- lar in political circles these days) to Jeremy Gragert and George Penn in Wisconsin, Jeremy Moody in CONTINUED FA L L 2 0 0 5 THE NEO-INDEPENDENT c o v I I I FA L L 2 0 0 5 THE NEO-INDEPENDENT 1 Editor’s Note continued Maryland, David Cherry in Illinois, Sarah Bayer in Massachusetts, Dave Ellis in Oregon, Jason Olsen in California, Mike Telesca in Connecticut, Bob Miller in Florida, Betty Ward and Jerome Holden in New Hampshire, Jeannette McCoy in Virginia, Al Bartell and Mike Pickering in Atlanta, Wayne Griffin in South Carolina, Ernest Crawford in North Carolina and so many other independents EXECUTIVE EDITOR: JACQUELINE SALIT who are working hard – not just to answer my question, but to do something about it. This issue is dedicated to all of you. DEPUTY EDITOR: PHYLLIS GOLDBERG CONTRIBUTING EDITORS: OMAR ALI, A personal note on the passing of ABC News anchor Peter Jennings. DEBORAH GREEN, HARRY KRESKY, Peter and I worked together almost 35 years ago, when he was first trying to JIM MANGIA, FRED NEWMAN shed his pretty boy image (boy, was he pretty!) and become a serious cor- respondent. I was a desk assistant at the time, which was the lowliest job in the place – so low that network brass talked freely around you because you basically didn’t exist. In 1972, Peter was sent to Munich to cover the RESEARCH: DAVID BELMONT, NANCY HANKS Olympics – a “soft” assignment which he wasn’t altogether thrilled about, DESIGN: JOSEPHS DESIGN, INC. but which unexpectedly turned into the biggest hard news story of the year when “Black September” terrorists seized and then killed a group of Israeli PUBLISHER: POSTMODERN PRESS, LLC. athletes ten days into the Games. Peter was well versed in Arab politics (which made him controversial in the business) and threw himself into GENERAL MANAGER: KIM SVOBODA covering this stunning turn of events. SALES: JOHN OPDYCKE Not long after the hostage-taking, Peter did a live feed from a studio in Munich, recapping what had happened. I was in the newsroom with the MARKETING: SARAH LYONS execs who’d come down to watch the broadcast. Peter was sitting on the set, COUNSEL: FRANCINE MILLER, ESQ. giving a vivid account of the story, complete – as I recall – with singular in- sight into the motivations and modus operandi of the terrorists. It was rivet- ing. No one spoke until one of the top guys made a strange, sort of guttural, sound. “Oh my god,” he exclaimed. “Peter’s not wearing any socks!” All eyes ADDRESS: 302A WEST 12TH STREET, #140 zoomed in on Jennings’ bare ankles, visible between his pricey loafers and NEW YORK, NY 10014 pant cuffs. “What the hell is wrong with him?” they grumbled.

  • In Social Media and Opinion Pages, Newtown Sparks Calls for Gun Reform
    December 20, 2012 In Social Media and Opinion Pages, Newtown Sparks Calls for Gun Reform FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Amy Mitchell, Acting Director, Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism Mark Jurkowitz, Associate Director, Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism (202) 419-3650 1615 L St, N.W., Suite 700 Washington, D.C. 20036 www.journalism.org In Social Media and Opinion Pages, Newtown Sparks Calls for Gun Reform Overview The shooting rampage in a Connecticut elementary school last week triggered a conversation different from those that followed other recent U.S. gun tragedies. In addition to an outpouring of emotion, social media and the opinion pages of newspapers were used immediately to tackle the polarizing issue of the nation’s gun laws, according to a special report by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism. On both blogs and Twitter, the gun policy discussion accounted for almost 30% of the social media conversation examined by PEJ, exceeding even prayers and expressions of sympathy in the three days following the December 14 massacre that left 26 dead at the Sandy Hook Elementary School. And, within that discussion, calls for stricter gun control measures exceeded defenses of current gun laws and policies by more than two to one. This social media response is far Calls for Gun Law Reform Dominate Social Media different than what occurred Percentage of Assertions following the January 8, 2011 Twitter Blogs shooting outside a Tucson Arizona mall that killed six and 64% badly wounded Congresswomen 46 Gabrielle Giffords.

  • NYT Wrote About These Character Threads Far More Than Any Other
    A QUESTION OF CHARACTER: How the Media Have Handled the Issue And How the Public Has Reacted If presidential elections are a battle for control of message through the media, George W. Bush has had the better of it on the question of character than Albert Gore Jr., according to a new study of media coverage leading up to the Republican convention. But in age of skepticism and fragmented communications, the public may not be getting--or believing—the message. There is also a hint that some of the worst of the press coverage of Gore’s character may have come and gone, while coverage of Bush lately has become more skeptical. These are some of the findings from an unusual study of the character issue in the 2000 presidential election, conducted by the Project for Excellence in Journalism and the Committee of Concerned Journalists, and twinned with a survey of public attitudes of the candidates conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press.1 The study examined five weeks of stories in newspapers, television, radio and the Internet that spanned the five months between February and June. In general, the press has been far more likely to convey that Bush is a different kind of Republican—a “compassionate conservative,” a reformer, bipartisan--than to discuss Al Gore’s experience, knowledge or readiness for the office, according to the study by the Project for Excellence in Journalism and the Committee of Concerned Journalists. Fully 40% of the assertions about Bush were that he was a different kind of politician, one of Bush’s key campaign themes.
