If you have a current resume, please attach it to this application.) I joined the Daily Trojan as a news and lifestyle writer during my sophomore year in Fall 2019 before becoming an assistant news editor mid-semester. In Spring 2020, I became the news assignments editor and continued the role for Fall 2020. Currently, I serve as an associate managing editor and overlook the news and photo sections. I worked for Annenberg Media as an ATVN volunteer in January 2019. I continued working in the newsroom as part of my JOUR 206 shifts in Fall 2019 and Spring 2020. I also served as the South L.A. editor during Spring 2020 and worked with students assigned for 206 shifts to report on USC’s surrounding community. I volunteered for Trojan Vision as a broadcast producer in Spring 2020 after taking the TV production class in Fall 2019. I currently work as a producer for the Campus Vision segment that involves interviewing different campus organizations. I worked as a reporter for Annenberg and PVAMU’s collaborative award-winning documentary “Two Paths, One Direction” that involved exploring 2020 through the lens of students at a PWI and HBCU. I am also currently part of a magazine production class to release two community zines in collaboration with L.A. Taco. What is your career objective and in what ways would the DAILY TROJAN Newspaper editorship contribute to it? While I am not entirely sure about my career plans after college, I hope to combine my passion for journalism and filmmaking into a career of storytelling. My interests lie in being a documentary filmmaker while continuing to work in print journalism as an international correspondent or covering beats such as food, lifestyle, art and entertainment. Being involved in the Daily Trojan has helped me grow tremendously both personally and professionally and taught me more than any of my journalism classes. Being EIC will help me develop leadership and decision skills that I believe are paramount to any career I pursue in the future. It will also help me become better at teamwork, communication, management and allow me to keep growing as both a writer and a leader. Please state briefly what chanGes and improvements you would like to see made this cominG fall. Hybrid production/ Transition to campus: As we transition a return to campus and daily production, I would like to explore ways we can continue hybrid production while maintaining the efficiency and community of an in-person newsroom. This would involve working to figure out our production schedule and access to newsroom while keeping everyone’s safety in mind. Since much of our current masthead has not been around for daily in-person production, I would like to make the transition as smooth as possible and host workshops in the summer for new editors. Communication/building a community Communication and building a community have been the two most challenging aspects of working virtually but they would be even more important returning to an in-person semester. I would like to continue holding weekly all-editor meetings to discuss collaboration between different sections as a way for editors to feel more connected to each other and the newsroom. Even with a hybrid model, I want to reinstate daily budget meetings for better communication. I want to prioritize finding a wellness & outreach team to plan events for editors to get to know each other outside their jobs and think of DT as more than a workplace. Encouraging staff and assistant editors to be more involved with the newsroom and come in to discuss their stories and edits would help foster a sense of community along with having more general and fun events for the staff and editors to get to know each other. Wellness Working closely with the wellness director, I would like to continue implementing some of the wellness initiatives we have taken in the past two semesters such as counselling and having a work schedule, so everyone doesn’t have to be coming into the newsroom or doing DT work daily. I would also like to incorporate different techniques such as meditation, walk, yoga and music breaks depending on what people prefer so they are taking time off from their screens. Digital reach/multimedia projects I would like to expand DT’s digital reach by undertaking more collaborative multimedia projects. This would involve working on long term projects involving data and investigative journalism as well as semester-long multimedia projects that include text, photo, interactivity, audio and other elements. Having more multimedia-editor meetings along with reworking some of the masthead positions would help with this. Professional development Helping editors and staff grow professionally is important as a student organization and I would organize this by having a speaker series and connecting with past DT and USC alumni to come talk to staff. Having resume and cover letter sessions along with editing each other’s applications and connecting with past alumni working in the same industry/company would help with professional development. Collaborating with different journalism organizations on campus such as AAJA, NAHJ and NABJ to host talks and socialize would also help with networking. Diversity/ recruitment Continuing the diversity initiatives and staff report that were established over the past two semesters, I would like to incorporate the data into recruitment over summer and build connections with different cultural organizations and student clubs. For months celebrating cultural and other identities such as Black History Month and LBGTQ+ History month, I would like to work ahead with editors to plan stories and features to run along with multimedia elements. To increase diversity in our sourcing and reporting, I will work closely with the D&I director to have a tracking system to see what communities and sources are included in our stories and who is overlooked. Aside from a mandatory orientation, I would also like to have a mandatory diversity training for staff, so they incorporate it in their reporting and address implicit biases. Having monthly diversity reports on the stories we ran would help us improve our coverage and realize where we are falling short.

INFOCORE Definitions: “News Production”. Ludwig Maximilian University - Munich, Germany. Online available at http://www.infocore.eu/results/definitions/ http://www.infocore.eu/results/definitions/ News Production NEWS In framing the news as an activity, the International Encyclopaedia of Communication describes news as ‘the product of teamwork in media outlets (Nossek, 2008),’ but the definition of ‘news production’ goes beyond such definition through looking at certain criteria that include tasks, structures, processes, routines, and influences on the news. News, according to Harrison (2006, p. 13), is ‘is judged to be newsworthy by journalists, who exercise their news sense within the constraints of the news organizations within which they operate.’ Defining news production as a process is uneasy difficult task, as there is no generic definition of news, but it all depends on the context and the need for such news. News production as begins as a process of editing ‘as soon as a journalist sees and hears of something newsworthy’ (Wilson, 1996, p. 29) and is produced by ‘journalism professionals (of which there are different types with different journalistic subcultures, for example, reporters, producers, technical staff and managerial staff) working in a routine day to-day manner within a news organization’ (Harrison, 2006, p. 99). NEWS PRODUCTION News production can be seen as the process of transforming events through systematic criteria into news that is publishable in the media. News production tasks are activities ‘where news workers/journalists engaged in the production of the written, visual, or audio texts designated as news and information appearing in print media and on broadcast and cable television, radio, and the Internet’ (Ettema, 2008).

Market Matters: How Market-Driven is 'The ewN sroom'? Abstract This study examines whether the award-winning news show The Newsroom depicted on HBO practices what John McManus defined as market-driven journalism. McManus posited that organizations practicing market- driven journalism compete in the four markets he describes in his market theory for news production. This study found that The Newsroom depicts an organization that does indeed practice market-driven journalism, with results interpreted through the lens of market theory for news production.

    Washington Post: Rethinking the Modern Newsroom WASHINGTON, DC | CATEGORY: INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE An open, energized, and wired space helps a venerated newspaper reinvent itself as a media and technology company. The Washington Post’s new home is a 92 percent open plan, thereby allowing reporters, engineers, social media specialists, and videographers to intermingle in a truly converged newsroom. In this converged environment, the news hub serves as the center of information. This centrally located, double-height space features a ribbon of monitors displaying the Post’s real-time website analytics as well as news channels, news websites, and social media portals. The setup allows the Post to fine tune its content and distribution instantly. Off the news hub sits the Ben Bradlee Story Conference Center, where the Post’s editors gather twice daily to discuss news content. Increasingly, such content includes video. Hence the newsroom’s offering of a traditional broadcast-video studio and three live shot settings that capture the newsroom’s full length and branding elements, including the Post’s iconic nameplate. “At the heart of this project was the idea of helping a legendary newspaper company evolve into a media and technology enterprise.

  • 16News Journalism and Public Relations
    Journalists and their sources 259 News journalism and public relations: 16 a dangerous relationship Kevin Moloney, Daniel Jackson and David McQueen “A lot of people think that British journalism is corrupted. I agree with them. Our job as journalists is to tell the truth, but repeatedly we fail. From the great global falsehoods on weapons of mass destruction and millennium bugs to the daily dribble of routine disinformation and distortion, we serve up stories which are no better than the idea that the Earth is flat.” Nick Davies (2008) “Getting PR material into the news is easy. You just need to know what buttons to press.” Bournemouth University BA Public Relations graduate (2012) When news journalism and public relations (PR) meet in the newsroom, there is tension. These two communication types want incompatible outcomes: independent reporting against favourable reporting. At a time when PR is on the rise, the challenge for contemporary journalism is to produce news that retains a critical distance from its sources, no matter how strong the tide of PR. That tide has strengthened in the UK because of the phone hacking-scandals of 2008 to 2011 caused by widespread but often-denied illegal and unethical practices when journalists listened in to private conservations. The British press had to wash its dirty linen before global audiences at the televised Leveson Inquiry into Press Standards (2012) which exposed 260 Kevin Moloney, Daniel Jackson and David McQueen News journalism and public relations: a dangerous relationship 261 the interconnected world of politics, lobbying and media pow- er.

  • Into the Newsroom: Exploring the Digital Production of Regional
    INTO THE NEWSROOM Into the Newsroom explores how journalists and the digital technologies with which they are entangled construct television news at the micro level of prac- tice. It challenges orthodox readings of television news production to explore fundamental questions concerning the ways in which we understand how jour- nalists and technologies combine with one another in unpredictable ways in order to create news. Hemmingway investigates the processes of regional BBC news production, by adapting ANT to an ethnographic study of a specific newsroom to reveal how news work is constructed by this contingent and complex interplay of digital media technologies and human actors. The book provides a rigorous investigation of the everyday rituals that are performed in the television newsroom, and offers a unique suggestion that news is both a highly haphazard and yet technologically complicated process of delib- erate construction involving the interweaving of reflexive professional journalists as well as developing, unpredictable technologies. Arguing specifically for a recognition and an exploration of technological agency, the book takes the reader on an exciting journey into the digital newsroom, using exclusive observation and interviews from those journalists working on the BBC’s recent pilot project of local television news as part of its empirical evidence. This book is an essential introduction both for those seeking to understand news processes at the level of everyday routines and practices, and for those students and scholars who are eager to adopt new and challenging ways to theorise news as practice. Emma Hemmingway is a Senior Lecturer in Journalism at the Centre for Broadcasting and Journalism at Nottingham Trent University.
