This document discusses four main types of privacy torts - appropriation, disclosure of private facts, false light, and intrusion. It analyzes several court cases that further define the boundaries of these privacy laws and how they interact with newsworthiness and journalism. Key issues addressed include distinguishing commercial from editorial use of people's images, what constitutes private versus public information, and the tension between privacy and freedom of the press.
Looking at Twitter, Facebook and the Arab Spring through the eyes of Malcolm Gladwell and Clay Shirky. How can journalists make sense of what social media are telling us about confusing situations far from home?
The document discusses performing a no-load test on a three-phase induction motor. A no-load test is done to determine the motor's no-load losses, which include iron losses from the core and mechanical losses. The test involves applying balanced three-phase voltages to the stator at rated frequency while the rotor is uncoupled from any load. Various motor parameters like speed, current, voltage and power are measured at different voltages to calculate losses.
Some first-day talking points about what is news, what is media literacy and why young people aren't paying as much attention to the news as older generations.
Lecture slides for talk to the Northeast Massachusetts Regional Library System on Nov. 12, 2009. Updated for Reinventing the News students in January 2011.
First part of this presentation explains basics and advantages of using functional programming approaches with lambda calculus.
Second part of this presentation explains how can we use lambda calculus in C# 3.0

The document discusses Lenz's law and Faraday's law of induction. It explains that according to Lenz's law, any change in magnetic flux induces an electromotive force (emf) in a wire that creates a current which opposes the change in flux. Faraday's law states that a changing magnetic field around a coil of wire induces a voltage in the coil. The document then discusses how induction motors work by using induced currents in shorted wire loops on a rotating armature to generate torque from a changing magnetic field in the stator coils.
The document describes how to perform a blocked rotor test on a 3-phase induction motor. The test is similar to a short circuit test on a transformer. It determines the motor's load dependent losses, stator and rotor reactances, and rotor resistance. To do the test, the rotor is blocked from rotating while voltage is applied to the stator terminals and gradually increased until rated current is reached. Current, voltage, and power measurements are then used to calculate the motor parameters.
This document provides a brief history of privacy rights and their relationship with the press. It discusses how privacy law developed from Brandeis' argument in 1890 that privacy is a fundamental right, through key Supreme Court cases like Griswold v. Connecticut and Roe v. Wade that established privacy protections. The document also outlines tensions between privacy and press freedoms, like how the Freedom of Information Act can sometimes intrude on privacy rights even as journalists aim to publish information. It traces the evolution of views on privacy through cases like Olmstead v. U.S.
The document discusses the Supreme Court's attempts to define obscenity and determine what types of expression the First Amendment protects. It provides background on key court cases like Roth v. United States and Miller v. California that established obscenity as an unprotected category. It also describes how cultural standards around pornography shifted significantly in the 1970s and 1980s with the rise of hardcore porn and feminism. More recently, technology has privatized pornography consumption while some extreme porn producers like Extreme Associates have faced prosecution.
The document discusses the evolution of libel law in the United States, beginning with the 1964 Supreme Court case New York Times Co. v. Sullivan. This ruling established the "actual malice" standard, requiring that public officials prove a statement was made with knowledge of its falsity or reckless disregard for the truth in order to win a libel suit. The ruling marked a shift toward protecting press freedom and criticism of public figures under the First Amendment. Subsequent cases extended this standard and defined what constitutes reckless disregard, changing the landscape of libel significantly in favor of media defendants.
The document discusses induction motors, including their advantages of being robust with no brushes or contacts on the rotor shaft, having a high power to weight ratio compared to DC motors, and being lower cost and easy to manufacture. It describes the main parts of an induction motor including the squirrel cage rotor and stator windings. It also explains how induction motors work by generating a rotating magnetic field from the stator that induces current in the rotor and causes it to rotate slightly slower than the magnetic field.
The document discusses ethics in journalism according to the Society of Professional Journalists' Code of Ethics. It outlines 10 fundamental rules for journalists: 1) Don't fabricate information, 2) Don't plagiarize, 3) Use exact quotes accurately, 4) Avoid conflicts of interest, 5) Be fair and neutral, 6) Identify yourself as a journalist, 7) Use anonymous sources sparingly and disclose their identities to editors, 8) Follow recording protocol laws, 9) Admit mistakes promptly, and 10) Have fun. Adhering to these ethical standards helps ensure journalistic integrity and credibility.
