Nonprofit Journalism Engagement Case Studies April 2017 Nonprofit Journalism Engagement Case Studies Compiled by INN and Dot Connector Studio with support from the Democracy Fund 714 W. Olympic Blvd. #931, Los Angeles, CA 90015 (818) 582-3560 www.inn.org [email protected] @INN Introduction Community and public engagement projects are central to the public service journalism provided by many of INN’s 120+ member newsrooms. For nonprofit newsrooms, convening and engaging people around issues that shape public and civic life are increasingly critical parts of journalism as practiced today. They happen alongside journalists’ work to report and distribute information. These examples were collected to show the range of public engagement with news, to give nonprofit newsrooms a place to learn what others are doing and borrow ideas that may be adaptable to their own communities. INN would like to thank Jessica Clark and Katie Donnelly of Dot Connector Studio for compiling and summarizing these projects and the Democracy Fund for its support. Some of these projects were supported by INNovation Fund grants from INN and financed by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and Democracy Fund.

  • 40 Media Ethics for Educating Masses and Mediatization of Society Abid Zafar , Hassan Shahzad , Muhammad Zaman Abstract Educatio
    International Journal of Distance Education and E- Learning (IJDEEL) Volume IV- Issue I (Dec, 2018) Media Ethics for Educating Masses and Mediatization of Society Abid Zafar1, Hassan Shahzad2, Muhammad Zaman3 Abstract Education is one of the three main functions of media. This function assumes utmost importance when media comes to play the role of watchdog in a mediatized society so that quality of democracy is achieved through protection of human liberties. In 2002, President Pervez Musharraf unlocked the potential of electronic media by allowing private entrepreneurs to operate TV and Radio channels, which led to acceleration of the process of mediatization of politics. For the purpose of the study two main leading newspaper Daily Jang and The News have been selected. The researcher has critically evaluated these two newspapers from March, 2015 to July 2015. This research is critical descriptive in nature leading to an understanding of the value of professional ethics for media to perform function of educating the masses in recognizing their rights. It has found that private media ignore the function of educating the masses and has been engaged in proliferating distorted information in the society so much that masses find themselves in confusion about reality. Key Words: Education, Media, Ethics, Mediatization, Society Introduction In 21st century, media is playing an outstanding role in promoting education through educating masses by influencing on the daily activities of children (Zafar, 2018). At the same time, the social mediums (ICT’s) also playing an astonishing role among higher level students especially in universities by helping in research Tess related assignments.

  • Intimate Perspectives from the Battlefields of Iraq
    'The Best Covered War in History': Intimate Perspectives from the Battlefields of Iraq by Andrew J. McLaughlin A thesis presented to the University Of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2017 © Andrew J. McLaughlin 2017 Examining Committee Membership The following served on the Examining Committee for this thesis. The decision of the Examining Committee is by majority vote. External Examiner Marco Rimanelli Professor, St. Leo University Supervisor(s) Andrew Hunt Professor, University of Waterloo Internal Member Jasmin Habib Associate Professor, University of Waterloo Internal Member Roger Sarty Professor, Wilfrid Laurier University Internal-external Member Brian Orend Professor, University of Waterloo ii Author's Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. iii Abstract This study examines combat operations from the 2003 invasion of Iraq War from the “ground up.” It utilizes unique first-person accounts that offer insights into the realities of modern warfare which include effects on soldiers, the local population, and journalists who were tasked with reporting on the action. It affirms the value of media embedding to the historian, as hundreds of journalists witnessed major combat operations firsthand. This line of argument stands in stark contrast to other academic assessments of the embedding program, which have criticized it by claiming media bias and military censorship. Here, an examination of the cultural and social dynamics of an army at war provides agency to soldiers, combat reporters, and innocent civilians caught in the crossfire.

Good information nourishes democracy; bad information poisons it. The mission of the Shorenstein Center is to support and protect the information ecosystem. This means promoting access to reliable information through our work with journalists, policymakers, civil society, and scholars, while also slowing the spread of bad information, from hate speech to “fake news” to all kinds of distortion and media manipulation. The public square has always had to contend with liars, propagandists, dividers, and demagogues. But the tools for creating toxic information are more powerful and widely available than ever before, and the effects more dangerous. How our generation responds to threats we did not foresee, fueled by technologies we have not contained, is the central challenge of our age. How do journalists cover the impact of misinformation without spreading it further? How do technology companies,

  • What and Who Are Fueling the Movement to Privatize Public Education — and Why You Should Care
    The Washington Post Answer Sheet Analysis What and who are fueling the movement to privatize public education — and why you should care by Valerie Strauss May 30 !Email the author This is an important article by author Joanne Barkan about the history of the movement to privatize U.S. public schools, which is now at the heart of the national debate about the future of publicly funded education in this country. We now have an education secretary, Betsy DeVos, who is admittedly doing everything she can to promote alternatives to traditional publicly funded education. Many state legislatures are helping her with programs using taxpayer money to fund private and religious education. Supporters of America’s public education system are concerned about what they say is an assault on the most important civic institution in the country. In this article, Barkan explains the history and current state of the privatization movement and what may lie ahead for the education system. She is a writer based in New York City and Truro, Mass. Her recent writing has focused on market-based public education reform in the United States, the intervention of private foundations in public policy, and the relationship between philanthropy and democracy. An earlier version of this article will be included in “The State, Business and Education,” edited by Gita Steiner-Khamsi and Alexandra Draxler (London: Edward Elgar Publishing, October 2018). I normally don’t include a list of references at the end of posts, but I am with Barkan’s article to show the broad range of sources she used for this comprehensive piece.
