Social Media on a (Time) Budget from 2010 WTPA ConventionTexas Center for Community Journalism at TCU
This is the presentation associate director Andrew Chavez gave at the 2010 West Texas Press Association convention in Odessa.Newspapers' digital competitors and how to beat them
The document provides steps for newspapers to succeed against digital competitors. It recommends running the website like a business with profit as the top priority. Newspapers should understand competitors like Patch and leverage digital tools to combine their unique selling propositions with new capabilities. The document also discusses overhauling compensation to incentivize digital revenue and removing "geek speak" from discussions.
News Industry Ad Models
The document provides tips for pricing and positioning online advertising inventory and content. It recommends selling premium ad units like sliding billboards at a flat weekly rate rather than CPM to avoid undervaluing inventory. Ad networks are discouraged from taking up prime ad positions as they diminish the publisher's brand and existing advertiser relationships. Video content is suggested as a revenue opportunity if repurposed and promoted by the sales team. The final slides introduce Mel Taylor as an expert in online revenue strategy for local media.
What you're doing
This document summarizes the results of a survey of newspaper participants regarding their use of websites, social media, and how social media has helped their reporting. The key findings are that 100% of newspapers surveyed have websites, 90% are on Facebook, 45% have Twitter accounts, and social media has helped newspapers get tips that led to stories, find sources, attract younger readers, and increase website page views through comments. Specific examples are provided of stories that resulted from social media tips or uses.
The platforms
Facebook has over 400 million active users who are increasingly older than 35. Each user has on average 130 friends and half login every day, making Facebook the third most popular site for internet users over 65. Posts on Facebook can include text, photos, videos, and content from games. Twitter has 15 million active users who generate most of the site's activity, with an average of 27 followers per user. Twitter is growing fastest among younger people under age 24 and allows sharing short information through posts, mentions, hashtags, geocodes, and links.
Comment management
The document discusses strategies for managing comments on news articles. It notes that some sites no longer allow anonymous comments or commenting on certain stories due to instances of attacks and inappropriate comments. It recommends using a third-party commenting system to avoid anonymous commenters, tie comments to real identities, and easily ban repeat offenders. The document also suggests that comments don't need to be available on every story, and that sites should develop and enforce clear commenting policies while responding to and engaging with users.

The challenge of terrorism against the United States led the government to create the Department of Homeland Security with the hope of leveraging federal, state, and local police agencies, intelligence agencies, and immigration agencies to cooperate in communicating findings and creating joint efforts to stop threats of terrorism or confronting a terrorist attack.
The current threat of terrorism has made many senators and representatives in Congress think about the United States combining all of its police agencies into one national police organization. The centralization of power would stop the discombobulated nature of the 3 government levels of police and provide a clear, overall standard on how to police not only terrorism acts but crime in general.
Please answer the questions below. Give your opinion concerning the topics, and provide examples. Discuss your findings as far as any statistics that you list concerning the victims. You have an opportunity to discuss your thoughts about what options might be taken concerning victims of racial profiling. Be sure to back up your opinions with facts from cited sources.
Do you believe that the establishment of terrorism as a crime that can be committed domestically has changed policing? How? Why? Provide examples.
Have the number of victims of racial profiling increased over the last decade?
What laws and services are available for victims of racial profiling?
What other actions might be taken on behalf of victims of racial profiling?
Has the Department of Homeland Security helped fight terrorism, or has it simply duplicated the efforts and jurisdictions of other agencies? How has it helped?
Be sure to cite all references in APA format.

When you were attending AIU, you thought of yourself being an undercover narcotics officer or working for a bank as a fraud investigator, but you were initially exposed to the role of a victims' witness assistant during the Criminal Careers course at AIU. Then, your best friend became a victim of a crime of violence after being stalked for several months, and that incident changed your life. As you provided comfort and support to your friend during the judicial process, you were exposed first-hand to the role played by the victims' witness assistant during the criminal judicial process. The role of the victims' witness assistant changed you, and you decided then that you wanted to pursue a career as a victims' rights advocate somewhere. It has been a year since you were able to start your career in the victims' rights advocate position, and every day, you feel that you are making a difference in society and your jurisdiction.
The prosecutor for whom you have been working as a victims' witness assistant has had several calls from victims of stalking. Some cases seem more serious than other cases; however, one case that no one in the office thought was seriou.
Court covering
This document discusses covering courts as a reporting beat. Some key points include:
1. Covering courts is challenging but fascinating as it involves human drama playing out. The courtroom is like a stage with different actors playing roles.
2. There are different types of courts in India like the Supreme Court, High Courts, District Courts, and specialized courts.
3. Reporters should check for new cases filed weekly on court websites, look up names of important local figures and businesses involved in litigation, and follow their gut on cases that seem interesting.
4. Beyond court documents, reporters should do additional reporting like interviewing attorneys to get more context and background on cases. They should also watch for dramatic moments
Criminal Justice 3: Prepare to Write a Report
Officers should prepare to write police reports by bringing writing materials to the scene, observing details, and taking thorough notes. Important information in a report includes what happened, statements from those involved, investigative actions taken, contact information, evidence handling, and legal details. When writing reports, officers should include specific details to establish probable cause, describe individuals, explain injuries and evidence handling. Effective interview tips are dealing with emotions first, providing privacy, asking for clarification, and using quotation marks for exact statements.
Criminal Justice 4: Organizing and Writing a Report
The document discusses guidelines for organizing and writing effective police reports. It recommends starting to organize information at the crime scene by noting details about yourself, victims, witnesses, suspects, evidence and the disposition. When writing the report, follow your agency's procedures and include an opening sentence with key details like date, time, location, names of those involved and the nature of the call. Each subsequent paragraph should focus on a witness, victim or suspect. Include all investigative steps, contact information, verbatim quotes, evidence details and fully explain how the case was resolved.

The prosecutor for whom you have been working as a victims' witness assistant has had several calls from victims of stalking. Some cases seem more serious than other cases; however, one case that no one in the office thought was serious
resulted
in the victim’s death. Everyone thought the couple was just going through a difficult breakup. This case had a tremendous impact on the entire office—especially you.
To help make sure that the office does not minimize a potentially dangerous situation again, the prosecutor has asked you to put together an intake, evaluation, and assessment instrument to be used in taking information on stalking situations. Be sure to
check
stalking statutes, and cite the elements of the crime of stalking in your documents. Complete the following:
Create a topic paper (2–3 pages) in APA format discussing the following:
Importance of recognizing the signs of stalking
Criminal definition of
stalking
for your jurisdiction (cite a relevant stalking statute)
Key facts that you felt all office personnel should know about stalking, such as the remedies designed to help a stalking victim
Create an intake form in addition to the topic paper that can be used to get important information from alleged victims of stalking.
The form should require information about the nature and frequency of stalking and should determine if the elements of the crime of stalking are present.
The form should also ask questions that will elicit answers that help indicate what type of stalking situation exists, asking such things such as is the victim is acquainted with the suspect, and if so, how; if not, how does the victim think the suspect knows or has encountered the victim? It should ask for the frequency of the annoyance and if the victim is in fear and why. Most stalking statutes require a pattern of harassment or annoyance that would make a reasonable person afraid or seriously annoyed; the form should ask something that would capture that information. The form should indicate whether or not there is a pending div.

Strategic Planning for Your Community Newspaper
Strategic planning involves envisioning a desired future, translating that vision into broad goals and specific objectives, and creating an action plan with steps and an evaluation process. Marketing is the actionable process a company uses to move products from concept to customer, which involves identifying, selecting, and developing products; determining price and placement; and creating and implementing promotion strategies. Marketing should involve input from all levels of an organization and focus on adapting to change rather than resisting it.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
