Start Selling Journalism

This may be the best ad campaign I’ve ever seen for a news organization … Nail has created a campaign for the Providence Journal and it is brilliant. (For mobile viewers, the video is in Flash, sorry about that.) (Thanks to Seth Siditsky for the lead.)

White House to Push for Media Shield Law

Maybe, maybe, this time we’ll get this to happen – The New York Times is reporting the Obama administration has caked Sen. Charles Schumer to revive a federal shield law bill. A democracy must have a free and open press, one that does not work under fear of the government.

Justice Department Obtains Associated Press Phone Records

Just … what the hell? In all, the government seized the records for more than 20 separate telephone lines assigned to AP and its journalists in April and May of 2012. The exact number of journalists who used the phone lines during that period is unknown, but more than 100 journalists work in the offices where phone records were targeted,...

Why Student Stories Matter

Former Boston University student Johannes Hirn shot a story several years ago about an immigrant who wanted to box his way into America. That immigrant was Tamerlan Tsarnaev, one of the two alleged bombers from the Boston Marathon. I just hope the site the Boston University News Service is linking to has licensed those images … (Thanks to Prof. Denise...

Presidential Propaganda

Over at the National Journal, Ron Fournier takes aim at the limited press access being granted by the White House. Again, for those not following along, “news” delivered by the White House is not journalism. Information, yes, but not journalism. There will be a test at the end of the semester on this. (Thanks to Susan Walsh for the link.)

Far Afield, But Parallel

My friend Arlo Abrahamson, a public affairs guy in the Navy, sent me a link to an OpEd in The Washington Post by the Navy’s chief information officer, Rear Adm. John F. Kirby, in which he talks about the need for service members to do a better job of explaining what they do to their fellow citizens. As I read...

Cal Whipple Has Passed

His is not a name many of us know, but his work during World War II in ending military censorship changed the way we understand wars. David W. Dunlop at The New York Times wrote the story about how Cal Whipple went up the chain of command to get George Strock’s photo of three dead Americans published. Mr. Whipple and...

Six Questions You Should Ask

Okay, so this is coming off of a PR website, but it’s still an excellent string of questions you should ask on your next job interview. We all spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to answer questions, hoping that will convince the person on the other side of the table to hire us. What many don’t...
