BBC News - Steubenville Ohio school footballers guilty of rape - 0 views

  •  
    "Two high school football players in the US state of Ohio have been found guilty of raping a 16-year-old girl. The case came to light via text messages, online videos and social media posts made the morning after, attracting nationwide attention. The two were sentenced to at least a year in juvenile detention and the judge said both might stay in detention until they reach 21. The case was thrust into the national spotlight after attention by bloggers and the hacker activist group Anonymous. Some claimed that the community - including local police - had sought to cover up the crime to protect the accused, who were members of a celebrated high school football team."

    The business plan of Varsity Monitor is simple. Major universities like North Carolina, Nebraska and Oklahoma pay $7,000 to $10,000 a year and Varsity Monitor keeps an online eye on their athletes. Among the services the company and others like it provide is a computer application that searches social media sites that athletes are active on, looking for obscenities, offensive commentary or words like "free," which could indicate that a player has accepted a gift in violation of N.C.A.A. rules.

Northern Highlands board to vote on rules for student publications - Education - NorthJ... - 0 views

  •  
    ALLENDALE - The Northern Highlands Regional High School Board of Education is expected to vote tonight on a revised policy governing student publications. The changes to the policy come in response to an incident in the spring in which a story written for the student newspaper, The Highland Fling, was censored by administrators. "I think we saw there were concerns last year," Board of Education President Barbara Garand said, adding that the policy has previously been revised a "couple of times." Among those concerns, she said, were the use of anonymous sources, which students would need to divulge to their adviser under the new policy. The school board approved a revised version of the censored story, written by Adelina Colaku, that was published in June after a three-month fight. The story detailed an ongoing dispute between former Superintendent John Keenan and nine tenured administrators and supervisors. The original version raised concerns over the use of anonymous sources. Michael Rightmire, whose job as director of technology had been eliminated in May and was a source in the article, agreed to go on the record for the revised version of Colaku's story. John Woodnick, the newspaper's faculty adviser for 10 years, stepped down from the Fling, but continues to teach English. Colaku said she is particularly concerned with the change in policy regarding anonymous sources. "The law says if an adviser knows who anonymous sources are and the administration wants to know, they can ask and the adviser is obligated to tell them," she said. "That would have been a great impediment on the procession of my story," Colaku said. Gina Palermo, editor in chief of the Fling in 2012-13, said she is concerned with the regulation that says school-sponsored publications should "foster a wholesome school spirit and support the best traditions of the school." Instead, she said student newspapers should be held to the same standards as professional media. "In a professiona

    "In the era of distributed media, the relationship between journalist and audience is asymmetrical.

Fortunately, there is still a role. Here are six roles the modern journalist should serve:"

The Pyramid of Journalism Competence: what journalists need to know | Poynter. - 0 views

  •  
    "Much has changed in the world of journalism since the pyramid was constructed. New media platforms have been invented; business models have collapsed; arguments about who is a journalist abound. Pyramids may be tombs for dead kings, but they have a way of hanging around - for a long time. What you are about to experience is the most up-to-date version of the Pyramid of Competence. It contains 10 sections, one for each of the competencies. It begins with a description and a definition, followed by a list of imagined courses that could impart that competency, topped off with an example of an essay that could be used to cultivate that area of journalistic knowledge."

Three quarters of editors and news directors polled say they have "serious reservations" about government funding of journalism, and 78 percent say the same thing about interest groups, primarily for fear that independence can be compromised, according to a study by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism.

      I found this interesting because I'm interested in fashion, and outdoor markets. Importance or Impact: it impacted the people who go to the outdoor markets in and near Chicago because this one was unlike the rest offering things like tea tasting and unique clothing vendors. Timeliness: takes place monthly between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Proximity: Chicago. Meaning: it brings a new meaning to the outdoor market, that will bring a new mix of vendors that you wouldnt normally find.

    EVERY summer in Chicago, most neighborhoods put on their own street fair, with generally the same mix of homogeneous items: cheap sunglasses, tacky art, deep-fried food and music by local bands. But recently, a new concept - let's call it the curated flea market - has caught on, thanks to the introduction this year of Dose Market by a group of young and intrepid media and style experts.

But which ones rise above the rest? We analyzed social-media followings, cultural accolades, business acumen and more to determine this year's list (ordered from youngest to oldest)."
