Zoe Smith (multimedia journalist and former online editor at ITN Buy ativan without prescription, ) visited the Reuters Institute seminar last week to talk about multimedia journalism. A fascinating report from the trenches of the 'new journalism', Arizona AZ Ariz. , Buy ativan pills, as it were. This is a world where owners and managers sing the praises of going digital, New Mexico NM N.Mex. , Ordering ativan online cheap, of interacting with their audiences, of doing multi-platform journalism - but where the everyday work of online editors to a large degree consists of chasing journalists unwilling or uninterested in producing content for the Web as well, αγοράσετε ativan. Ativan online kopen, Smith laid the blame partly on organizational and occupational culture - a "I'm a broadcast journalist, I didn't join this business to do web stuff" kind of thing - and partly on the fact that while owners/managers may profess to love digital, billiga ativan apotek, Køb billige ativan, they do not love having to pay someone to do it (ITN's recent axing of staff will definitely affect online provision, for example), cheap generic ativan. Buy cheap ativan online, Back when news organizations went online (and they did so much later than many other organizations) the main attraction of digital was that it was cheap - after all, a computer with an Internet connection and content management software is much cheaper than a fully-staffed printing-and-typesetting shop, ativan kopen. This mindset still seems to rule in parts of the industry - sure, we love online, but why does it have to cost so much, buy ativan without prescription. Cheap ativan pills, In my own research as well as that of others, show that many journalists are indeed suspicious of new technology initiatives, kjøpe ativan, Jotta ativan verkossa, and often with good reason: technology is often used by owners as a "Trojan horse" in order to implement new working regimes and get rid of staff. Many journalists rightly see the pressure to also produce online content as exactly that: a pressure to do more with less resources, Koop korting ativan. Indiana IN Ind. , In short, multimedia journalism is almost always a top-down initiative, buy ativan. Order ativan no prescription, Changing an organization to cope with cross-platform production is never something that begins with journalists thinking about how they could use new technology to tell better, different stories or to produce more high-quality news, ativan without prescription. Buy ativan without prescription, That's one side of it. Billig ativan apotek, But since it has been remarked that my research sometimes is too "employee-centered", we may need to look at this the other way around as well - and this was also something Smith talked about, acheter ativan bon marché. Nebraska NE Nebr. , For example, given what we know about the stubbornness of journalistic culture and journalistic work practices, Kaufen ativan, Buy ativan overnight delivery, it may well be that if news organizations wait for bottom-up technology initiatives, they will have to wait forever, Kansas KS Kans. . Many journalists are not interested in being interactive, in having a dialogue with readers, in telling stories using many different platforms. They just want to keep doing what they have always been doing, and they emphatically do not want to "interact" with audiences - the whole point of their profession is that they tell audiences what is important, after all. Those journalists who are interested in doing journalism differently simply leave traditional news organizations and do all the new things they want on their own. Journalistic work culture - like any work culture, including, Lord knows, that of academia - is inherently conservative. Which is a pity, since as little as I would trust journalists to renew journalism for the digital age, I trust media owners even less.

Yesterday Ben Goldacre spoke at the Reuters Institite Buy ativan, seminar. Buy ativan from canada, For those of you who don't know, Goldacre is a medical doctor (i.e, order ativan without prescription. New Hampshire NH N.H. , a real doctor, not just a doctor of journalism like me) who runs the widely-read Bad Science blog (and who has written a book of the same name) - a blog largely dedicated to criticism of how the media cover health/medical issues, Vermont VT Vt. . Ativan prices, Debate was lively, but I didn't ask any of the questions - mostly because I couldn't think what to say as I just simply agree with every single thing Goldacre said, Tennessee TN Tenn. . Buy ativan c.o.d., Media coverage of medicine and science (and of health risks in particular) is so uniformly bad and frequently directly misleading that there is simply no use trying to change journalistic practices in covering these issues - the badness is so entrenched that trying to get journalists to "get it right" is doomed to fail (if you want examples of grossly misleading health/science reporting, look no further than Goldacre's blog - my favourite examples are here, Om ativan online, Kjøpe billig ativan, here and here, but there are, buy ativan without prescription, Discount ativan, sadly, many more), order ativan online cheap. Instead, Goldacre's recipe for countering media misinformation about health and science is two-pronged:

Bypass the media and communicate directly with the audience - skip the middleman as the middleman just distorts (one example would be the NHS Behind the Headlines service, which looks at the actual facts behind the media's top health stories)

Undermine trust in the media through media literacy education.

The last thing is a pretty controversial thing to say to a roomful of journalists, most of whom are concerned with the fact that audiences are losing trust in the news media (for most journalists, trust in the media = good, more distrust = bad), but it didn't provoke as much outrage as you would have expected, buy ativan. Cheap ativan, As for me, I have always thought that it is not worrying at all but rather a great thing that people trust less in the media, ativan en ligne afin, Washington WA Wash. , so I was in agreement with the speaker.

Goldacre also said that when he's tried to raise these issues with journalists and editors, köpa ativan, Ativan over the counter, they generally get very defensive and insists that their science coverage is generally fine (even when it patently isn't). This is the point where I may be able to add something to the discussion, generic ativan. För ativan online, Of course, no-one likes to have it pointed out that they are wrong (I imagine they like it even less if you point out that they are so wrong it may be dangerous), order ativan overnight delivery, Ativan for sale, but the reason Goldacre gets the reactions he does is something more than mere individual ego and insecurity. Journalists and editors don't like to hear it because Goldacre is saying that the faults and problems of the media are systemic Buy ativan, , rather than caused by individual bad apples or one-time lapses of judgment. And it goes against journalistic self-preservation instinct to admit that journalism is flawed from the roots up, buy cheap ativan. Online ativan, If it is any consolation (and it probably isn't) to Goldacre and other science campaigners, journalism research is on their side - one of the most persistent findings of journalism studies over the last 50-75 years is that the faults of journalism are systemic, halvalla ativan apteekki. Montana MT Mont. , Everything from the way in which journalists equate objectivity and fairness with "he said/she said"-type journalism (i.e. if you have one source saying the moon is made of rock, you need to balance that with one source saying the moon is made of cheese - the underlying truth of the respective claims is "not the journalist's job"), to the way in which journalists systematically exclude or misrepresent things that do not fit in with commonly-accepted news values (several good examples in this excellent book by Michael Schudson - he's also way more measured and more well-reasoned than I have the space for here) has been well-documented by research over a long period of time. In my experience, news people don't listen very much to journalism scholars either (at least not when we're saying that systemic thing), buy ativan.

This may be why fake news people are the best journalists. In this post, blogger Will Bunch explains why it takes someone who emphatically describes himself as "not a journalist" to reveal the poor practice and astounding poor quality that is built-in - rather than the result of individual mistakes/poor judgments - in journalism. By all means, please also read Bunch's earlier post on another Daily Show takedown (of business journalism - an easy target if I ever saw one).

There are some commentators who say that the only thing that can save the media is more transparency, and I agree with them. Unfortunately, transparency is the last thing most news organizations are interested in, because then people would actually see how the poor science/health stories that Goldacre talks about and the poor business stories that Stewart lampooned are actually made. Someone once said that there are two things you don't want to know how they are made - laws and sausages. I would say there are three things you don't want to know how they are made - laws, sausages and news.

I sadly missed Robert G Picard Order cheap klonopin online, 's seminar last week, but as it turns out, his key points are available online (they have been fairly widely tweeted, too).

You can read for yourself, kjøpe klonopin online, Cheapest klonopin in the world, I'm sure, but in case your link-fu is weak, ordering klonopin overnight delivery, Illinois IL Ill. , his core argument is that journalists deserve low pay as they don't add any value for the consumer. It's an argument that makes a certain kind of sense - see for example the following quote from the article linked to above:

Well-paying employment requires that workers possess unique skills, billig klonopin apotek, Oregon OR Ore. , abilities, and knowledge, billige klonopin Apotheke. Georgia GA Ga. , It also requires that the labor must be non-commoditized. Unfortunately, acquistare online klonopin, Kansas KS Kans. , journalistic labor has become commoditized. Most journalists share the same skills sets and the same approaches to stories, buy cheap klonopin online, Jotta klonopin verkossa, seek out the same sources, ask similar questions, cheap klonopin online cheap, Nevada NV Nev. , and produce relatively similar stories. This interchangeability is one reason why salaries for average journalists are relatively low and why columnists, kjøpe billig klonopin, Køb billige klonopin, cartoonists, and journalists with special expertise (such as finance reporters) get higher wages.

In other words, generic klonopin, Cheap klonopin, one of the reasons journalists don't provide much value added (Picard lists more reasons - read the article already!) is that they are not sufficiently differentiated: journalism is just the same, regardless of which news outlet it comes from, order klonopin no prescription. Klonopin for sale, Journalists' questions are frequently predictable, the same issues are covered from the same angles, order klonopin, φτηνές φαρμακείο klonopin, etc.

Picard has his own blog, köpa klonopin online, Texas TX Tex. , which is highly recommended: the current post is on micropayments. αγοράζουν φτηνά klonopin.

David Leigh Buy acomplia without prescription, , assistant editor of the Guardian with special responsibility for investigative reporting, visited the Reuters Institute Wednesday Seminar yesterday. Comprar acomplia, Many journalists and editors (in the UK, Nick Davies is a notable example) are pessimistic about the future of investigative journalism, acomplia pedido en línea, Ordering acomplia no prescription, but David Leigh chose to emphasise the positive aspects in the seminar - for example, the growing importance of international networks for investigative journalists, Florida FL Fla. , Washington WA Wash. , and the increased accessibility and transparency of information provided by the Internet (though in a 2007 interview, Leigh was much more pessimistic about the impact of the Internet on reporting), Connecticut CT Conn. . Generic acomplia, For those who follow the debate about the future of investigative journalism, the case for doom and gloom is well-known: investigative journalism is simply too resource-intensive for news organizations to want to pay for it anymore, Rhode Island RI R.I. . South Dakota SD , The permanent investigative teams that existed in print and broadcast news media in the 1970s are gone now - maybe for the good, according to Leigh, acomplia online kaufen, Kentucky KY Ky. , as having a team that is required to produce investigative reporting regularly regardless of the quality of material and sources they currently have access too easily creates pressure to pursue stories that are not worth pursuing. Of course, purchase acomplia online, Bestill acomplia online, having a dedicated investigative team is also not considered an effective use of staff, as investigative journalism is inherently uncertain: investing months and months in chasing leads and sources is not a guarantee that there will be a story at the end, Osta acomplia online. Leigh said that his benchmark was that if he could create viable, verifiable stories out of 50 per cent of the leads he was working on, he was doing very well, buy acomplia without prescription. Buy acomplia c.o.d., At the Guardian, the "investigative reporting team" currently consists of Leigh and one other staffer, kopen goedkope acomplia. Acomplia generic, In addition, they may in any given case use freelancers, kjøpe billig acomplia, Acheter acomplia, stringers, or (temporarily) reporters from other desks at the Guardian - as well as cooperating with journalists from other countries, acomplia discount, Online acomplia, such as Swede Fredrik Laurin in the case of Leigh's ongoing investigations into BAE arms trading (see example here). It should be noted that the Guardian is atypical in employing even two journalists to do full-time investigative work (most news organizations have no dedicated staff for this type of journalism anymore), goedkope acomplia apotheek. Nebraska NE Nebr. , Leigh said he would constantly find himself justifying his work to his employers, and the strategy he primarily used was to try to keep up a constant flow of stories - rather than going for the "one big story", Vermont VT Vt. , Buy acomplia cheap, he found it necessary to keep producing smaller investigative stories at a steady pace. He emphasised the increasing demand for constant output in the current media climate, and that this simply is something that investigative journalism has to adapt to if there is to be any investigative journalism at all.

Read more about the conditions of investigative reporting around the world at ICIJ, GIJ, and CIJ. International comparisons are important to keep the doom and gloom in perspective - for, as Leigh points out, while he may lose sleep over fear of being sued, his investigative reporter colleagues in many other nations risk being hurt or killed because of their work.

I did a seminar presentation at the OII (Oxford Internet Institute) today on “Issues and problems in studying user-generated content and the news”, which in retrospect was a wholly inapproporiate title since I spent more time talking (rambling, really) about my recent pilot study comparing user-generated content on the The Sun and Aftonbladet web pages.

Yesterday Terence Blacker, columnist for The Independent, visited the Reuters Institute seminar.

“EPS” is academic-speak (well, certain academics, anyway) for “European Public Sphere”, and this was the subject of my seminar presentation at the European Studies Centre, St Antony’s College, yesterday. Specifically, I was posing the question “Can journalism contribute to a European Public Sphere - and should it?”.
