Real v. Fake News
Principles of Journalism
Professor Neil Foote
Public Journalism - Revisited
Joseph Faina: “Public Journalism is a joke:
The case for Jon Stewart and Stephen
Colbert”
Davis Merrit (Public Journalism and Public
Life: 1998)
 More than just telling the news
 More than Objectivity
 Traditional news today: Ineffective for
engaging the public
2
Journalism a key player in
democracy
Information dissemination
Representation
Deliberation
Conflict resolution
Accountability
Public Journalism: „Neo-Modern
Paradigm‟
4
Journalism
Investigates
Creates
conversation
Generates
social empathy
Encourages
accountability
Informs
„Public Journalism‟
Acknowledge public‟s ability to act
Acknowledge the role of self-governance
Role of journalism in promoting „foment
and agitation‟
Today, cable discussions turn into shouting
matches
Public turned off by the „winners‟ v. „losers‟
6
So what should journalists do?
1. Focus on consequences
a) Beyond just who to vote for, which
„side‟ of issue to support
2. Focus on real problem of issue
a) More than the „horse race‟ or
„political gamesmanship‟
b) Uncover the overarching themes
7
So what should journalists do?
3. Frame issues on whom they affect
the most – implications on the
community
8
Stewart v. Colbert
Comedians or Journalists?
Satirists v. Pundits
Facts v. Opinion
Context v. Regurgitation
Analysis v. Chronicling
9
Most Trusted Person in Journalism?
10
Humor, Parody, Satire
Humor: „Analytical, critical, and
rational‟
Parody: Mimicry and imitation
Satire: „Most overtly political genre‟
– scrutinize public behavor
11
How „Political Satire‟ Impacts Us
 How we talk about these series issues
 Viewers of The Daily Show and Colbert
Report better engaged
 Bridging the gap between news, politics and
journalists
 Humor unites – or divides groups
 If you don‟t like the joke, go elsewhere to find
the facts
12
Ted Koppel
“They don‟t pretend to be
journalists…They are doing a better
job than the real journalists.”
---Ted Koppel, created ABC‟s
Nightline/veteran journalist
13
On the other side:
“Journalists have a really inconvenient thing
they‟ve got to go through: a process of
trying to [the story] right. … I don‟t think
journalists should try to get more hip.
Journalists have to learn the one lesson
which is important, which is to try to get it
right.”
- Robert Thompson, director of the Bleier
Center for Television and Popular Culture at
Syracuse University.
14
What about these sites?
 Fark: http://fark.com
TheOnion: http://theonion.com
FactCheck.org:
http://factcheck.org
15
The Risks
False information
Confusing
Out of Context
Misleading
Opinionated
Mean-spirited
 “Trivialization”
16
Journalists must:
Be obligated to the truth
Be obligated to accuracy
 Be balanced
Be transparent
Be independent
Hold a forum for public discussion
17
Discuss within your groups
Do the Daily Show and The Colbert
Report help/hurt journalism?
Explain drawing off the core
elements of journalism we‟ve
discussed to date.
