Philippine Journalists Kidnapped
2008-06-11 05:24:00 Journalism here in the Philippines is quite competitive, but the bad news is that if journalists are too aggressive, they put themselves in danger. This seems to be what happened to an ABS-CBN news crew who disappeared yesterday. Drilon, her team and Dinampo went missing Sunday after leaving a college hostel in Maimbung town. Drilon and her ...

Student journalists offer 1 side
2008-06-03 16:58:00 There are always at least two sides to any story ? unless that story happens to be about sports on college campuses. Or so it appears based upon a recent survey of college sports journalists. (A few weeks ago, I surveyed 72 college sports journalists and college advisers, along with 79 sports information directors. The results will be published in College Media Review.)More than half of those responding say they rarely or never interview players and coaches from opposing teams for any of the following stories ? gamers, previews, profiles, and features. Just over 10 percent of all college sports journalists say they interview opposing players and coaches for these same stories. That's a shame. Sports journalists cannot be lazy reporters. Sportswriters already have a poor reputation as borderline journalists who write for the toys department or serve as PR hacks for teams even though some of the finest reporters can be found in the sports department. Unless a locker room is closed, t...

INDIAN JOURNALISTS IN UK ARE PROTESTING AGAINST OUTSOURCING
2008-05-15 22:13:00 Outsourcing of jobs has irked the first world nationals and political leaders, and now it's turn of the people to lose their jobs who once lived in countries like India, Pakistan and Srilanka and currently employed with BBC in UK. BBC World Service which among other languages also broadcasts in South Asian languages like Hindi, Urdu, Bengali and Sinhali has decided to relocate 50% of its staff closer to where the action actually lies. These journalists have been told to their respective countries and cover news from there or face redundancy. Mostly London based journalists will be affected. They are asked to accept downgraded salaries.Journalists are protesting, holding events and crying foul against BBC's 'money saving adventure.' Mike Gardner, Head of Media Relations at the BBC World Service says, "The proposed redeployments of staff to India, Pakistan and Nepal recognise the new media realities in those countries.

Last week, The Los Angeles Times published an article that revealed newly discovered information that supported Tupac's affirmations, including a possible motive to punish Tupac for disrespecting Diddy and rejecting business offers.

Journalists are ready for the Big Cliche
2008-03-20 00:27:00 I feel like putting on my dancing shoes, baby. It's time for the Big Dance where a Cinderella always pops up. And it's also that time when cliches run rampant. Writers and editors especially love using the Big Dance, but they also enjoy many other cliches. Many of these cliches are overused well before the NCAA Tournament begins. Games are frequently called tilts, teams fight back when their backs are against the wall, victories are hard-fought, and players assert ther will. Headline writers particularly love to use Big Dance. TV Guide plays off the Irish dance troupe, writing: "Lords of the Big Dance: NCAA March Madness 2008 Preview." And Austin Peay's editors are excited that the "Govs advance to the big dance," although the reporter refrained from using that term. ESPN writes that "Cinderellas at Big Dance share common attributes." Detroit Free-Press editors wrote that Michigan State's women were "left off 64-team Big Dance card."The Sporting News breaks down the game between...

Roget: 'headline writers and journalists'
2008-03-16 15:10:00 There was an interesting article on Peter Roget, creator of the thesaurus, in The Times' Books section yesterday. I took a little exception at the following though:At its worst, [a thesaurus] is a crutch, for crossword enthusiasts, students desperate to imply a little learning in an essay crisis, headline writers, nervous after-dinner speakers and, yes, journalists.Headline writers and journalists? All the headline writers I've ever met have been journalists. Perhaps Ben Macintyre, who is the author of this piece, means 'headline writers and other journalists'.In the same way, it bugs me when people (including some of my colleagues) refer to 'production staff and journalists'. Sub editors and designers can be journalists too!Wikipedia agrees with me on this.

What journalists can do: The AP?s water story
2008-03-11 00:05:00 You probably haven’t heard of Jeff Donn, Martha Mendoza and Justin Pritchard. But because of them, you may be thinking twice about the water you drink ? especially if you live in Philadelphia. Mr. Donn, Ms. Mendoza, and Mr. Pritchard wrote and reported the story that reveals “[a] vast array of pharmaceuticals ? including antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones ? have been found in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans.” (Elsewhere at S&R, my colleague Martin discusses what this all means.) The three reporters did extensive work on this story: Members of the AP National Investigative Team reviewed hundreds of scientific reports, analyzed federal drinking water databases, visited environmental study sites and treatment plants and interviewed more than 230 officials, academics and scientists. They also surveyed the nation’s 50 largest cities and a dozen other major water providers, as well as smaller communit...
7 Ways for Journalists To Save Money
2008-03-09 02:42:00 Being a journalist can involve a lot of travel to do interviews for newspapers, television or radio and can rack up many expenses that can occur at the last minute that may not be covered by your job. These expenses can make it difficult to make ends meet. To save money create a budget and look for ways to reduce expenses. Here are 7 ways for journalists to save money: 1. Travel Discounts. Comparison shop for discounts on parking or air, hotel and rental cars or buy as packages. Some companies that provide discount fares LongTermParking, HotDeals, SideStep, and Kayak. Sign up for online alerts with airlines to learn about their weekly specials. Search for fares early in the morning or on weekends. Check to see if they accept discounts for membership to Diner's Clubs, AAA, AARP, etc. This can save you $30 to $175 per transaction.2. Supplies and Expenses. Shop for office supplies at Costco or online sites such as Amazon. Consider setting up a home office. You can write off a por...

An International Study on the Perceptions of Newspaper Journalists on Value
2008-02-22 17:11:00 by Dr. Prem Lal Joshi An online international survey of Newspaper journalists, on the topic of Value-based journalism (VBJ) reveals that they pride themselves for adhering to "truth and accuracy" and "verification of facts". These are among the top core values of reporting news and views. More than 90% of respondents stated this, a survey I conducted. In the values hierarchy, 89.6% of them also stated that they adhere to the value of " public interest" . "Objectivity" and "independence" were rated fourth equally. Objectivity is considered a debatable point in journalism. Respondents from all the five continents similarly rated transparency, completeness, accountability, compassion and perseverance, the survey reported. "Avoiding violation of others privacy", "loyalty," and "aggressiveness" received lower ranking in the value hierarchy for most of the contin...

Another couple of journalists who don?t understand basic science
2008-02-21 01:40:00 Yesterday, I wrote about a Florida columnist who’s so poorly educated and ill-read that she could neither construct a cogent argument nor recognize a ridiculous misstatement about Newton’s second law of thermodynamics that would be obvious to my middle-schooler. Today, I find this report from Reuters that completely misses the story, and for the same reason: a fundamental misunderstanding of science and the most basic scientific terminology. The real story here is that those in favor of teaching evolution won an even bigger victory than they could have hoped for, and they won it because their opponents also don’t understand scientific basics. The great State of Florida has finally decided to revise language in its biology classrooms that banned the word “evolution” in favor of a mealy-mouthed “changes over time.” After all, it is the 19th 20th 21st century, right? Biblical creationists and their crypto-brethren adherents to intelligent ...

When it comes to journalists, what about quality?
2008-02-19 23:28:00 (With apologies to Dr. Denny, whom I admire greatly, and who would certainly fix journalism if he could.) Lost in the justified hand-wringing over the loss of newspaper jobs, and the inevitable reduction in the number of important stories journalists can uncover, is the issue of “quality.” I mourn the loss of quantity in the journalistic ranks as much as anyone, and I’m betting more than some, but I am more concerned with quality these days. I happened to run across these two articles, here and here, by Alva James-Johnson, a columnist for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Perhaps things have changed, but in my brief brush with newspapers many years ago, one did not become a columnist until one had demonstrated a depth of knowledge, insight, erudition, and quality of thought that qualified one for something near the top of one’s profession. Columnists were the cream of the crop. I hope, based on this example, that this is not the case these days. Take this state...

Of sad events and cheap journalists...
2008-02-17 07:54:00 New York Post Noobs Inserito originariamente da Abriael Looks like there still are journalists (even if I'm not exactly sure they're worthy of such definition) that can't resist taking a cheap shot at videogames when something bad happens. About the recent rampage of college student Steven Kazmierczak, that caused several victims in Illinois, Mr MICHAEL SWIONTEK and Mr BILL SANDERSON of New York Post, didn't find any better explanation than the fact that the murderer used to play Counterstrike about 4 years ago. In the article they put a lot of emphasis on Mr. Kazmierczak's short lived video-gaming career, and skimmed on the fact that he wasn't taking his meds as it was an uninportant detail.Personally, I find this silly attitude some journalists have towards videogames terribly tasteless, and I always wonder what they think they'll achieve by spreading this kind of disinformation. One thing is for sure, Mr. Swiontek and Mr. Sanderson are what here in Italy we define "Ar...

65 journalists killed in world in 2007, group says
2008-02-05 06:04:00 By Patrick Worsnip UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - At least 65 journalists were killed around the world because of their work last year, the highest figure for 13 years, and nearly half of them died in Iraq, a leading media watchdog reported on Monday. The figure compiled by the Committee to Protect Journalists, or CPJ, in its annual report, "Attacks on the Press," was one more than that cited by the New York-based group in a Dec. 18 statement and compares with 56 in 2006. The 2007 toll is one lower than the 66 journalists killed in 1994 but that figure was swollen by the genocide in Rwanda. Other groups have reported higher figures, with Paris-based Reporters Without Borders saying 86 journalists were killed last year. CPJ says it applies the strictest criteria for the work-related nature of deaths and is still checking 23 cases. In Iraq, 32 journalists -- the same figure as in 2006 -- were killed last year, all but one of them Iraqis, as well as 12 media support worke...

Chanting religious slogans after their verdict was announced on Thursday, the militants attacked two journalists -- Zahid Hasan of the Banglavision Television Channel (for taking video footage of the militants) and Abdullah Iqbal. The cameras of the two journalists were damaged in the melee. The militants also threw their sandals at the newsmen, the Daily Star reported on Friday. Judge ATM Mesbauddoula at the Speedy Trial Court fined the militants 10,000 Takas (145 dollars) each. If they fail to pay, they will have to undergo a year's additional jail term.

PM to speak at Saturday seminar for journalists
2008-01-26 03:31:00 CJITL – Prime Minister Kay Rala Xanana Gusmão will be the featured guest at an open seminar and discussion for journalists on Saturday, Jan. 26 at the Fundasaun Oriente.
