The goal of the Entrepreneurial Fellowship is to help a woman journalist move forward with an innovative journalism project. Claritza Jiménez ~ @claritzajimenez Claritza is a television news producer and video journalist. She pro- duces international news as part of the Latin America team at As- sociated Press Television News (APTN) in Washington, D.C. Some of the biggest stories she has worked on include the shift in U.S.-Cuba diplomatic relations and the election of Pope Francis. Claritza, who is a native Spanish speaker, started her journalism career at the CBS stations in Chicago and Dallas. She was awarded an Investigative Journalism Fellowship at American University’s School of Communication, where she earned a Master of Arts in journalism. Claritza would like to see more women and people of color quoted as expert sources in news reporting, and she will work on developing a digital product to facilitate that.

DIVERSITY FELLOW Sponsored by the Financial Times

The goal of this fellowship is to recognize a journalist from a community tradi- tionally underrepresented in the media, and whose work supports diversity. Charisse Gibson ~ @okaycharisse A proud New Orleans native, Charisse Gibson is the Morning An- chor at KSLA News 12 This Morning in Shreveport, La. When not on the anchor desk, she is reporting for her “Family First” franchise, telling the life stories of notable African-Americans in northwest Louisiana. Charisse is a proud graduate of Southern University A&M College, the largest HBCU system in the nation, and a member of the National Association of Black Journalists.

NEXT STEPS FELLOW

This fellowship recognizes veteran journalists who are JAWS members by bringing at least one to CAMP to participate in hands-on technical and social media workshops, individual mentoring and informal brainstorming to figure out next steps and learn about new opportunities in the rapidly changing media landscape. E.J. Graff E.J. entered journalism in the 1980s, contributing to the then-marginalized gay and feminist press. During the 1990s, she began reporting about LGBT life for the mainstream, and so helped pioneer the gender and sexuality “beat.” Her work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The Washington Post, Newsweek, The Advocate, The New Republic and Slate. E.J. has published two books. E.J. served as the senior researcher and associate director at the Schuster Institute at Brandeis University, where she wrote pieces on such subjects as workplace sexual harassment of teens and fraud and corruption in international adoption. E.J. is eager to use her time as this year’s Next Step Fellow to learn new web and radio tools, and to gather insight about possible next steps.

We also offer a diversity fellowship, entrepreneurial fellowship and next step fellowship. We invite them to meet some of our trailblazers, feel inspired by learning new skills, and also share their energy and enthusiasm with the group.

Where do I sit at meals? Anywhere! Use meals as an opportunity for professional networking and for meeting new friends. We will have assigned seating Friday night to encourage CAMPers to get to know one another. JAWS ONSITE AUCTION

The onsite silent auction opens Saturday morning, when you can bring your items to the auction tables. Past presidents of JAWS will be at the tables ready to guide you through the process. If you want to bid on an item, just write your name and your bid on the slip that’s on the item. Keep a close watch on your bids, because another camper may have her eye on the same treasure. Bidding wars are not unusual, so be prepared to bid all weekend long until the final bell rings at 11 a.m. Sunday.

All the money will go to help fund JAWS operations. When the auction closes, you can scoop up the items you have won, along with the bidding sheets, and take them to the designated CAMP staffer. Cash, checks and credit cards will be accepted.

JAWS ONLINE AUCTION

Know someone not at CAMP who would want to participate? No prob- lem. Anyone — regardless of where they are — can participate in the JAWS Online Auction. From big-ticket items, such a week at a vacation home in Sundance, Utah, to bargains on wearable tech and coaching on pitching stories, to digital and print publishers, it’s all online.

The online auction closes at 11 a.m. Sunday. Bidding on most items is open to the public, so your friends and family can join in the fun as well.

To check out the online auction, go to https://biddingforgood.com/jaws/jaws15. Or, if you’re at CAMP, use your cellphone/tablet to scan the QR code on the poster explaining the item, and you will be taken directly to the JAWS auction site.

Online auction winners will be contacted after closing to arrange payment. If you are the winning bidder of a vacation rental or a service, you will get information for the person you need to contact to set up arrangements. If you have purchased an item, the JAWS Fulfillment Center will mail your purchase to you. If you are an online auction winner who is attending CAMP, you can pay while you are in Montana.

At CAMP or online, there are lots of ways to participate in the JAWS auction. Shopping and helping JAWS equals good works. It doesn’t get much better than that.

ARE YOU AN EARLY RISER?

Feel like walking, meditating or practicing yoga with other JAWdesses before the busy day begins? Meet at 6:30 a.m. each morning by the registration area to find your group and instructions about where to gather for your activity of choice. CONGRATULATIONS

DataViz is a popular buzz term in journalism these days. But it isn’t a single concept. Learn about in- corporating data into stories in terms of finding, cleaning and bulletproofing your work — typically the major task in data visualization. Then get a sense for exploring your data through visualization and finally presenting it to your audience.

Journalism 2-4 p.m. Book Camp: Come with an Idea, Leave with a Plan (requires pre-registration + fee) Nordic/Alpine

Book Camp is a new program presented in honor of our 30th anniversary. It’s for writers who have a germ of a book idea, or a passion for a subject, or a story they have read or covered that might make a book. The session will be led by experts Jane Isay, editor and author of three and a half books; Gail Ross, agent and JAWS member; and Karyn Marcus, senior editor at Simon & Schuster with a talent for thinking up book ideas. They will listen to your idea, ask you important questions, think along with you and refine the idea so that it will be of interest to readers.

Jane Isay Jane Isay spent over 40 years as a book editor, specializing in nonfiction. Ten years ago, Jane jumped the desk and became an author. She has written three books in this decade, all published by Doubleday: “Walking on Eggshells,” “Mom Still Likes You Best” and most recently, “Secrets and Lies: Surviving the Truths that Change Our Lives.” She lives in New York City, close to her sons and their families, and is working on her fourth book.

Gail Ross As president of the Ross Yoon Agency, Gail represents important commercial nonfiction in a variety of areas. She counts top doctors, CEOs, prize-winning journalists, historians and experts in a variety of fields among her clients. She and her team work closely with first-time authors and have earned a reputation in the industry for providing rigorous, enthusiastic editorial guidance at all stages of the publishing process. In the past year alone, close to a dozen of her books have been New York Times best-sellers. Gail also is a partner in the law firm of Trister, Ross, Schadler & Gold PLLC, where she focuses on the legal aspects of publishing and media law. She writes and lectures frequently on publishing issues. She teaches CLE courses on publishing law for the D.C. Bar and the Practising Law Insti- tute. She is the author of “The Writer’s Lawyer” (Times Books, 1989) and has also been named numerous times as one of the Best Lawyers in America and Washingtonian’s Best Lawyers (for entertainment law).

Karyn Marcus Karyn Marcus is a senior editor at the flagship imprint of Simon & Schuster. Acquiring both fiction and nonfiction, Karyn is also an active commissioning editor. During her tenure at S&S, she contacted musician Sara Bareilles and acquired her book of essays a year before Bareilles was nominated for two Grammys, anointed by Carole King, and rose to the top of the charts. She brought bestselling science writer Sharon Begley to S&S to write on the nature of compulsion and approached fashion writer Amy Odell to create what would become “Tales from the Back Row.” Prior to S&S, Karyn was an editor with Thomas Dunne Books, where she edited the New York Times best-seller “The Pol- itician” and commissioned “Do One Green Thing” by Mindy Pennybacker and the “Isabella Blow: A Life in Fashion” by Lauren Goldstein Crowe. As an associate editor at Doubleday/Broadway, she acquired “Parallel Play” by the Pulitzer Prize-winning music critic Tim Page, in a pre-emptive bid based on his essay from The New Yorker. Among the fiction titles she has worked on are “The Rosie Project” and “The Rosie Effect” by Graeme Simsion, “Wool” by Hugh Howey and “The Silent Wife” by A.S.A. Harrison. 4-6 p.m. Individual Tech Time Glacier North

MENTORING MEETUPS

We call this weekend the Conference and Mentoring Project because JAWS is all about women journalists helping each other. Don’t hesitate to mine the wisdom of the women sitting next to you at meals or lining up at the bar or going on a Sunday hike. In addition, mentoring coordinators Kira Zalan and Julia Kagan have paired up campers that requested a focused mentoring session. If that’s you, reach out to your mentor/mentee early on to carve out a time and place to meet up. JAWS also has a year round mentoring program that you can sign up for at any time through your membership profile. 6–7 p.m. Cocktails (cash bar) Continental Divide Foyer

8–9 a.m. Fran Lewine Memorial Interview with Edie Lederer Continental Divide

Those who attended CAMP last year heard AP Special Correspondent Linda Deutsch inter- viewed about her legendary career in the trenches of major trials, conducted by her es- teemed colleague Edith Lederer. This year, the tables will turn as Linda interviews Edie about her extraordinary exploits in the real trenches as a foreign correspondent reporting on wars, disasters and political upheavals around the world.

Edie was the first woman dispatched by the AP as a full-time correspondent to cover the Vietnam War. She went on to report on the 1973 Israeli war and conflicts in Afghanistan, Northern Ireland, Bosnia and Saudi Arabia, where she directed AP’s coverage of the Gulf War. She helped to cover the breakup of the Soviet Union and was based in London for 16 years. She was also posted to Peru, Hong Kong, Kenya and Puerto Rico. Since 1998, she has been the AP’s chief correspondent at the United Nations.

Together, Edie and Linda have spent nearly half a century witnessing history for the AP. They met in 1972 when both were assigned to cover the Angela Davis trial in California. They were close friends with Fran Lewine, longtime White House correspondent for the AP and later a CNN correspondent in Washington, D.C. This annual interview honors Fran’s trailblazing role as a pioneering woman in journalism.

They will be introduced by Patricia Sullivan, past president of JAWS.

9 a.m.–10 p.m. Silent Auction Continental Divide

With a slew of new campaign finance laws and court decisions in recent years, it’s harder and harder to track the money flowing through our elections. Campaign finance pros — including political reporters and experts — will share their tricks for tracking down the money behind the candidates, especially as more and more of the cash is donated secretly to groups that aren’t officially affiliated with a campaign.

Alison Fitzgerald Alison Fitzgerald is an award-winning economics, finance and investigative reporter who joined the Center for Public Integrity in April 2013 to help lead its financial and business reporting. Her first project at the Center, “After the Meltdown,” was honored with the 2014 George Polk Award for business reporting and the Society of Profession- al Journalists Sigma Delta Chi award. She is now managing editor overseeing all the Center’s work on federal and state politics, finance and broadband. Prior to joining the Center, Alison spent more than a decade at Bloomberg News, where she wrote about the convergence of politics, government and economics. She was part of the Interna- tional Consortium of Investigative Journalists team that won the 2015 George Polk Award, and her coverage of the 2008 financial crisis and ensuing government bailout won her several awards, including the 2009 George Polk Award. Her work on the international food price crisis in 2008 won her the Overseas Press Club’s Malcolm Forbes Award. With Stanley Reed, Alison wrote “In Too Deep: BP and the Drilling Race That Took It Down,” published in 2011 by John Wiley & Sons.

Carrie Levine Carrie Levine joined the Center for Public Integrity in October 2014 as a federal politics reporter investigating the influence of money in politics. For four years before joining the center, she worked as research director at Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, where she managed a five-person staff that exposed the activities of politically active “dark money” nonprofits and uncovered instances of congressional self-dealing. Carrie previously worked as a reporter and associate editor for The Nation- al Law Journal, where she covered the inner workings of lobbying firms and lobbyists’ strategies. Carrie also previously reported for The Charlotte Observer, The Patriot Led- ger in Quincy, Mass., and The Sun in Lowell, Mass. She is a graduate of Boston University and the Colum- bia University Graduate School of Journalism.

Denise Roth Barber Denise Roth Barber has served as managing director of National Institute on Money in State Politics since 2010, after four years as research director and seven years as researcher. As managing director, she supervises the data acquisition coordinator, researchers and IT and communications staff. She also writes occasional reports on special and timely topics, and leads the Institute’s research related to Citizens United v. FEC. She provides input on the scope and timelines of proposed data acquisition and research projects, grant proposals and other management planning issues to ensure data acquisition and research objectives and reporting deadlines are met. Before joining the Institute, Denise was an organizer with the Northern Plains Resource Council for six years, where she worked with local Montana communities on conservation issues.

Nancy Walzman Nancy Watzman is managing editor, Television Archive, at the Internet Archive, which is tracking TV political advertisements in the 2016 elections. She has worked as an investigative journalist and researcher for watchdog and advocacy groups, including the Sunlight Foundation, Every Voice, the Center for Responsive Politics, and the Center for Public Integrity. She is co-author, with Micah Sifry, of Is That a Politician in Your Pocket? Washington on $2 Million a Day, contributed to The Buying of the Congress, and has written for publications such as Harper’s Magazine, The Nation, The New Republic, and The Washington Monthly. While at Sunlight, she won a “BOB”—Best of the Blogs—award from Deutsche Welle for the Party Time project and an honorable mention from the NIHCM Foundation for “Heart of the Matter,” an investigation on lack of transparency in clinical trial data. She is based in Denver. 9:15–10:30 a.m. Racism & Police from Sources Nordic

“Racism. We are not cured of it,” President Obama said in June on Marc Maron’s radio show. From Fergu- son, Mo., to Baltimore, Md., the deep issues that drive racism are exploding to the surface. And many of those stories have started where race, police and community relations intersect. How do you go beyond the police reports and the quotes to find the deeper stories driving the issues? How do you know the right questions to ask? What are those stories?

JAWS: Women Making News for 30 Years

JAWS LEGACY FUND

The fund honors the trailblazers who embody the spirit and mission of Journal- ism and Women Symposium by collecting bequests and then using those funds to support programs that enrich the work of JAWS.

Eileen Shanahan, a world-class journalist, champion of social justice and founding director of Journalism and Women Symposium, was a legendary figure as a reporter and mentor for other women and people of color. Obituaries in The New York Times and The Washington Post chronicled her achievements as a reporter and editor, bulldozing past the obstacles of gender with relentless, cre- ative career management.

Kay Mills was a historian of women in journalism and civil rights, a loyal mentor and an inspirational member of Journalism and Women Symposium’s founding board of directors. She wrote a number of books, including “A Place in the News: From the Women’s Pages to the Front Page,” “From Pocahontas to Power Suits: Everything You Need to Know About Women’s History in America,” “This Little Light of Mine: The Life of Fannie Lou Hamer” and others on the civil rights movement.

Joan Riddell Cook was a founding director of JAWS, a journalist, a union leader, a moral leader and generous friend to three generations of people en- gaged in the work of making the world a more just place. She was one of seven named plaintiffs — and a moving force — in a class-action sex discrimination suit against The New York Times filed in 1974.

We are entering what promises to be one of the more interesting and consequential presidential campaigns in recent memory, with Hillary Clinton vying to become the first woman president and an unprec- edented number of Republican candidates up for the challenge. While the most recent polls and the “he said-she said” candidate statements provide easy material for daily coverage, campaigns at any level are much more than the horse race. With so many journalists and different kinds of media covering politics — including the campaigns themselves — the opportunities are endless, but so are the challenges. It’s more important than ever to get beyond the spin and find compelling and interesting issues, characters and plots to bring the trail to life. This panel includes reporters and editors who have experience with daily and long-form political journalism. They will provide tools and advice for covering any kind of political topic, including local issues and campaigns, through print, video, photos, social media and more.

What are the most important elements of the Society for Professional Journalists Code of Ethics that journalist-advocates have to exer- cise? How do you report out an objective storyline when you have a point of view? Where do you publish your work? How do you still call yourself a journalist? And how do you handle the smear campaigns that writer-advocates too often receive, very often directed against them as women?

Asra Nomani Born in Bombay, India, in 1965 to a conservative Muslim family, Asra Q. Nomani grew up in Morgantown, W.Va., becoming a staff reporter for The Wall Street Journal for 15 years. After the 9/11 attacks, while on book leave, she went to Pakistan to report for Salon magazine. There, her colleague and friend Daniel Pearl was kidnapped while staying at her home in Karachi. In the face of the tragedy, in 2005 she wrote ”Standing Alone: An American Woman’s Struggle for the Soul of Islam,” challenging intolerant, violent and sexist interpretations of Islam, earning her name-calling and death threats by some co-religionists. In January 2015, she wrote a widely circulated essay for the Washington Post Outlook section, arguing that an “honor brigade” of academics, bloggers, community leaders, political leaders and religious clerics, supported in part by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, uses accusations of “Islamophobia” to silence debate on Islam. Still hopeful, Asra is editing a project to codify a new school of Islamic law, rejecting mainstream interpretations, including blasphemy laws, and espousing feminist, peaceful and liberal values, including free speech. She can be reached at [email protected] or @AsraNomani on Twitter and Facebook.

This session will look at how to take a detour from the daily grind and find something new about the day’s big news. Do you want to veer away from the pack when big news hits? Veteran investigative reporters will share their favorite data sources, government agencies and search tips to help you write in-depth stories off the news of the day — fast.

Sign up for one of the open spots and bring your device along for personal hands-on training.

11:15 a.m.–1 p.m. Reporting the Whole Story Nordic

Too many news organizations today focus their reporting solely on widespread social problems, ignoring the thousands of individuals, organizations and institutions that are responding to these problems. The Solutions Journalism Network aims for a more accurate portrayal of society. Since 2013, it has helped more than 40 news organizations and hundreds of journalists learn about and practice a more complete form of journalism: rigorous and compelling reporting about responses to social problems—journalism that tells the whole story. Using the Solutions Journalism Toolkit as a guide, this session will cover what solutions journalism is (and what it’s not), why you should do it, and how it can make your own journalism stronger, higher-impact, and more audience-friendly.

Samantha McCann Samantha comes to Solutions Journalism Network after doing academic research in environmental and fiscal policy at Seattle University, and holding editorial positions within several publications. She has published in the World Policy Journal, The Journal of International Affairs, Scholastic, The Guardian and others, and wrote the text of an award-winning photography book, ”Columbia University in Pictures.” She has re- searched and published on sentencing and drug policy, racial bias in crime reporting, and the impact of a criminal record on earnings upon reentry.

6-7 p.m. Cocktails (cash bar) Continental Divide Foyer

6:45-7:45 p.m. Dinner Continental Divide 7:45-9:30 p.m. Film Screening: “Difret” Continental Divide

“Difret” is a new feature film opening in theaters around the United States in October. This special JAWS screening includes a conversation with Tennessee Watson and Kathy Bonk, both of whom have been working on projects related to ending child, early and forced marriage, sexual assault and violence against women.

The Los Angeles Times calls the film “compelling and authentic.” Secretary of State John Kerry calls it a “powerful true story of conscience and conviction that ought to inspire everyone.”

Do you remember the award-winning NBC made-for-TV movie “The Burning Bed” with Farrah Fawcett? It helped spark a movement against domestic violence in the United States. “Difret” tells a similar story of Hirut, a 14-year-old girl walking from school in a rural village in Ethiopia when men on horses kidnap her. Hirut grabs a rifle and tries to escape, and ends up shooting her rapist and would-be husband. In her village, the practice of abduction into marriage is common and one of Ethiopia’s oldest traditions. Meaza Ashenafi, a tenacious young lawyer, arrives from the city to represent Hirut and argue that she acted in self-defense. Meaza embarks on a collision course between civil authority and customary law, risking the work of her women’s legal-aid practice to save Hirut’s life. This feature film is having a major impact around Africa and the world.

Kathy Bonk Kathy Bonk is the executive director of CCMC, the Communications Consortium Media Center based in Washington, D.C., whose mission is to use communications strategies for policy change. She is co-author of the Jossey-Bass book “Strategic Communications for Nonprofits.” Over the past 35 years, Kathy has been at the forefront of dozens of media campaigns that marked a sea change in domestic and global policies on women’s rights, child welfare, health care reform, early education and telecommunications. Most recently, Kathy has been working under a grant from the Ford Foundation to assist the African Union on their Campaign to End Child Marriage in Africa. As a part of the effort, CCMC is working with Truth Aid, the producers of the feature film “Difret,” to design and im- plement an outreach campaign that uses the film as an education tool. Child, early and forced marriage violates the basic human rights girls have to health, education, safety and well being. Yet 14 million girls are married before the age of 18 every year. Kathy serves on the board of the National Press Club Journal- ism Institute, the National Council of Women’s Organizations, Pathfinder International and the Kakenya Center for Excellence, a model girl’s school in Kenya.

Tennessee Jane Watson Tennessee Jane Watson is a documentary artist and educator. Her practice transcends disciplines and is linked by a collaborative and community-based approach. She has produced nationally distributed radio features and audio documentaries, as well as award-winning video documentaries, oral history projects and public sound installa- tions. As a media educator, she has over 10 years of experience working with both teens and adults.Tennessee has an MFA in Integrated Media Arts from Hunter College. She moves around a lot but keeps gravitating back to the land of her ancestors in Vermont.

“Secrets and Lies: Surviving the Truths That Change Our Lives” By Jane Isay When we learn a big secret, it feels like Life Interrupted. The world goes dim and anxiety grows. Keeping secrets impedes intimacy and fragments the soul of the Keeper, who plays different roles in different situations. Learning the truth about parents, spouses, and life history is shock- ing and painful to the Finder, but clarifies misty parts of our past. Still, you can make the truth your friend, no matter how impossible that seems at first.

“Walking on Eggshells: Navigating the Delicate Relationship Between Adult Children and Parents” By Jane Isay “My kids suddenly weren’t in my life anymore”… “My parents keep meddling in my business”… Parents of grown children have difficulty navigating a new way of being with their kids, and they are afraid of losing them. But here’s good news: Grown children love their parents, and are grateful to them, even if they don’t return their phone calls.

“Mom Still Likes You Best: Overcoming the Past and Reconnecting with Your Siblings” By Jane Isay “We just couldn’t be in the same room for more than an hour, my sister and I…” We come to recognize that brothers and sisters matter more as we get older, and it’s possible to shed old antagonisms and grow together — they are the only people who remember the name of the first dog and the words to the songs we sang in the back of the car. We need them more than we think.

“Behind the Smile: A Story of Carol Moseley Braun’s Historic Senate Campaign” By Jeannie Morris The newest book from Emmy-award winning journalist Jeannie Morris is a riveting campaign-trail memoir. Jeannie recounts the victorious campaign of Carol Moseley Braun — the first and only African-American woman elected to the U.S. Senate — and her ultimate political down- fall.

“The New Soft War on Women” By Caryl Rivers In the workplace today, women are stalling out. A whole network of landmines is exploding women’s progress as they try to move ahead. Discrimination is NOT dead--it’s just gone under- ground. The New Soft War War on Women (Tarcher Penguin) is an O magazine selection. It explains why women are flatlining in the boardroom, falling behind in lifetime salaries, don‘t get second chances the way men do, are judged unlikable if they are seen as too competent, and are penalized when they ask for more money—while men are rewarded. (Caryl Rivers and Rosalind Barnett).

“Knish In Search of the Jewish Soul Food” By Laura Silver When Laura Silver’s favorite knish shop went out of business, the native New Yorker sank into mourning, but then she sprang into action. She embarked on a round-the-world quest for the origins and modern-day manifestations of the beloved stuffed pastry of Eastern European origin.

“Escape Points” By Michele Weldon Award-winning journalist Michele Weldon provides a potent antidote to the harried single mom stereotype in this beguiling memoir of raising three sons alone in the face of cancer, an ambi- tious career, and the shadow of her ex. Untethered from a seemingly idyllic life with a hand- some but abusive attorney husband, Weldon relates the challenges and triumphs of the years that followed her divorce as she maneuvers through a complicated life of long daily commutes, radiation treatments, supporting the boys’ all-consuming high school wrestling careers, and trying to mitigate their hurt and resentment at an absent father.
