1. The document summarizes a study on the acquisition of the mass/count distinction in Hebrew by Hebrew-speaking children of different ages and adults.
2. The results show that children under 6.1 years do not distinguish between mass and count nouns, while children from 7.9-10.2 years show a distinction. However, teenagers were less adult-like in their judgments.
3. This developmental pattern is explained by the fact that the linguistic encoding of mass/count distinction is relatively scarce in Hebrew compared to English. Hebrew nouns also appear more flexible in their mass/count categorization.

More Than Both Sides — Redefining Objectivity Spring 2024Logan Aimone

As journalists debate their role — especially when it comes to race — the traditional definition of “objective” must evolve beyond detached stenography and performative balance. Learn how increasing standards of fairness and transparency can improve credibility and trust.
More Than Both Sides — Redefining Objectivity 23c.pdfLogan Aimone
This document discusses the evolving concept of objectivity in journalism. It begins with a brief history of newspapers in the 19th century, when most were explicitly linked to political parties rather than seeking neutrality. The concept of objective journalism developed in the late 19th/early 20th century as newspapers shifted focus to sales/advertising. In the post-WWII "Age of Consensus," journalism moved to the mainstream center. However, this consensus excluded many voices. The document argues that simply giving "both sides" can sometimes hinder truth-telling. It explores evolving ideas around transparency, verification, and focusing on consequences rather than just presenting opposing views. The goal is for journalism to move beyond an outdated definition of objectivity to

The document describes five basic brush strokes or grammar techniques that can be used to improve writing by making it more descriptive: 1) the participle, which uses -ing or -ed verbs at the beginning or end of sentences; 2) the absolute, which combines a noun with a participle; 3) the appositive, which adds a second image to a preceding noun; 4) shifting adjectives out of order; and 5) replacing passive verbs with active verbs to energize descriptions. Examples are provided to illustrate how each technique can enrich writing. Readers are then invited to try applying several brush strokes to sample image descriptions.
This document discusses rules for using hyphens with compound adjectives. It explains that a hyphen is usually required when two or more words are combined to form a compound adjective, such as "lily-livered" or "school-to-work." However, words that are frequently associated as adjectives, such as "high school" or adverbs modifying adjectives, such as "usually hot," are not hyphenated. The document also provides additional rules for when to use hyphens based on adjective-noun or noun-noun constructions, multiple adjectives modifying another word, and equal-force adjectives joined by commas versus conjunctions. Finally, it includes practice examples applying the hyphenation rules.
The document provides tips for writing concisely and tightly by removing unnecessary words and focusing the writing on strong verbs and active voice. It encourages writers to cut clutter from sentences, remove redundant phrases, avoid weak verbs and adverbs, and use paraphrasing to shorten long quotes. The goal is for every word to serve a clear purpose and tell the essential story or information in as direct a manner as possible.

4. WHO’S JUDGING?
Pacemaker judges are professionals working in media as
well as a range of experts familiar with student media.
Judges for the 2011-12 NSPA Pacemakers included
working professionals, veteran advisers,
and teams from the Alaska Quarterly Review
andThe Sacramento Bee
Saturday, April 27, 13
5. WHO’S JUDGING?
Judging is by team.We ask the media organization to
compile a group with representation from various
departments (writer, editor, designer, photographer, etc.).
Entries are judged holistically.There is not a rubric
with points attached to certain criteria.
Judging is by nature somewhat subjective based on
established standards of scholastic journalism.
Saturday, April 27, 13
6. HOW DOTHEY JUDGE?
• The number of Pacemaker finalists and winners is
proportional to the number of entries.
• The number is not fixed each year, but about half of the
finalists will be named winners.
• This is a contest, not a critique.
• NSPA asks judges to provide general feedback on the finalists.
Some teams are more thorough. Comments will be shared on
our website as part of the winners gallery and in our book,
Best of the High School Press.

53. SOMETHINGSTO CONSIDER
• Does your publication provide a sense of place?
• When reading the publication, does the reader learn about
the campus, the culture, the students and faculty?
• Or, does the coverage feel generic?
Saturday, April 27, 13
54. SOMETHINGSTO CONSIDER
• Does the work feel contemporary?
• The publication ought to look like it was produced this year.
• Don’t start over each year, but the type and graphics need
to evolve.
• Look to trend-setting magazines, advertisements and other
current printed materials for inspiration.
Saturday, April 27, 13
55. SOMETHINGSTO CONSIDER
• Do the stories matter?
• Place the stories in context for the reader.
• Set the agenda through investigations and enterprise pieces.
• Localize regional, national and international stories. Focus on
the campus.
Saturday, April 27, 13
56. SOME WAYSTO IMPROVE
• Work on the content. Dig around your campus and
community for real stories. Don’t overplay or sensationalize.
Cover all aspects and all groups.
• Pay attention to photography and graphics.
These two areas help your publication stand out from others.
Think of the best way to tell a story for readers to read and
understand.
Saturday, April 27, 13
57. SOME WAYSTO IMPROVE
• Details make the difference. Typography, white space,
style — these are what set Pacemakers apart.
• Have a strong editorial voice. Make the editorial
pages a lively forum on substantive topics.
Saturday, April 27, 13
58. SOME WAYSTO IMPROVE
• Make every story polished. Write tight. Readers will
read long if it’s good. Put columnists on a word count diet.
• Take your own photos or use common works.
Find images to use under a Creative Commons license or
similar permission to use.Attribute correctly.WikiCommons
and Flickr both have free images.
Saturday, April 27, 13
59. SOME WAYSTO IMPROVE
• Consider the alternatives. Look to alternate story
forms in addition to the traditional story or copy block. Not
only will your content attract more readers, the stories that
need traditional treatment will stand out, too.
• Don’t just copy the leaders. They aren’t copying you.
They’re finding a new and innovative ways to present
information.They’re setting the pace.
