  • Compression Extended Footnotes by Robert W
    Compression Extended Footnotes By Robert W. “Doc” Hall Introduction Although this set of footnotes is long, documenting every statement in the printed book proved impossible. A great deal of additional research is not in either the book or the extended footnotes. Original sources were preferred to secondary sources reporting about them, but some originals could not be found. One could only get as close to facts as possible. Many topics cited are fast moving, so some citations were obsolete as the book went to press. In addition, web page references are not fixed, but subject to revision, moving of servers, and deletion. URLs cite the location where a reference was last seen. To participate in ongoing “Compression Thinking,” see: http://www.compression.org Some footnotes covering a page or more are background commentary adding depth to topics in the printed text. Readers are invited to do their own digging, looking for original sources and data. Readers familiar with environmental sustainability will notice that the book does not rely on some familiar references or touchstones. I deliberately followed no well-worn trails researching that topic and most others. You are invited to do the same. Conclusions reached are certainly outside conventional business thought, and somewhat outside the patterns of thinking that seem to be jelling as conventional environmental thought. So please do your own thinking based on facts as best you can determine them. We need a lot of dialog on Compression. We do not need PR “stealth bomber” wars between web sites, articles, and books merely blowing opinion back and forth.

    DOI : 10.14746/pp.2015.20.3.9 Wojciech ADAMCZYK Poznań On any topic? Topics of publications of investigative journalism and journalistic intervention in the local press (on the examples of Poland and the USA) Abstract: The author raises an interesting subject, hitherto unexplored comprehensively in American and Polish media studies, namely, the problem of topics of investigative journalism and journalistic in­ tervention at the level of local newspaper publishers. In local media, just as in national media, disclosure of corruption and misconduct of local government happens quite rarely. Additionally, the checking ac­ tivity - as the watchdog function of the press - is present in the Polish reality only in some local commer­ cial media which are independent from local government. The author discusses the impact of the media’s checking function for the selection of topics by local investigative journalists and the nature of the activities of local political and business decision-makers limiting the subjects addressed by investi­ gative reporters. A comparative analysis relates the problems of the functioning of local government and local communities which are aired in articles published by investigative journalists and journalistic in­ tervention. For the comparison, articles recognised by the jury of the Pulitzer Prize for investigative journalism 1926-2015 and texts submitted and recognised in the “Local Press” competition 2012-2013 organised by the Association of Local Newspapers were used.

INTRODUCTION eople lock their doors and place their valuables in safes Pbecause they fear criminals may take their property. However, law enforcement took more property from Americans than criminals in 2015.1 When criminals take property, the law calls it theft. When law enforcement confiscates property, the process is called civil asset forfeiture. Civil asset forfeiture enables law enforcement to seize property and keep it for their own use without arresting anyone, much less charging or convicting anyone of a crime.2 Law enforcement’s ability to profit directly from forfeiture would trouble the United States Founders who intended to separate the purse and sword.3 Nonetheless, contemporary law enforcement † Master of Public Policy, Pepperdine University School of Public Policy, 2015.
