The document discusses the concept of truth in journalism. It explores how the definition of truth is complex and subjective. It provides examples like the Pentagon Papers and Watergate scandal to show how journalists aim to uncover truth. While accuracy is important, truth is difficult to fully achieve. The document discusses challenges like mixed media culture and partisan journalism and argues journalists should make clear that their first loyalty is to serving the public interest and truth rather than other interests.

Truth in journalism final LUTHER
The document discusses the concept of "fake news" and truth in journalism. It states that while absolute objectivity is impossible, journalism should strive to provide the best approximation of the truth given time constraints. It acknowledges that mainstream and alternative media can sometimes publish stories that are fake in their facts, importance, or intent. However, it also argues that journalism is a constitutionally protected profession because democracy depends on a free press to hold those in power accountable. Ultimately, it asserts that people should pursue news sources that make honest efforts to investigate and inform in an accurate and fair manner.
Finding story in social media
This document discusses using social media platforms to tell news stories and discusses challenges journalists face in adapting news narratives to social media. It provides examples of how elements of traditional news stories like chronology, setting, characters and motivation can apply to different social media platforms. The document also discusses concepts like ambient journalism, how social media allows more voices and perspectives to be included in news, and challenges like biases, simplicities and missing voices that exist. Finally, it discusses ways journalists can use social media like Storify to curate news stories from social media posts and engage audiences.
News Gatekeeping
Gatekeeping refers to the process by which events in the world are filtered and selected to be included in the daily news. There are multiple gatekeepers at different stages who determine what news passes through, including journalists, editors, producers, and anchors. The story is first pitched by a source, then a journalist decides if it is newsworthy, an editor approves it, and it competes with other stories in editorial meetings to determine the final news broadcast. What gets through depends on factors like news values, source credibility, audience, and other broadcasts.
Understanding Peace Journalism and Conflict Journalism by Abid Zafar
Here are two stories from the internet reflecting the peace journalism and war/violence journalism models:
Peace Oriented:
A story from a local news site about a non-profit opening a community center to provide youth programs and cultural activities to promote understanding between different ethnic groups in the area. The story gives voice to representatives from all groups and highlights their shared goals of preventing conflict and increasing cooperation.
War/Violence Oriented:
A story from a major cable news site focusing solely on the military response to a recent terrorist attack, emphasizing body counts and retaliation without providing any context about the root causes of the conflict or perspectives of ordinary civilians suffering on all sides. Officials are quoted defending the use of force while
The imagined reader
This document provides an overview of several audience theories that can be incorporated into responses for course G325. It briefly outlines key concepts from effects theory, uses and gratifications theory, reception theory, postmodern theory, and media 2.0. It also discusses how magazines represent and appeal to different gender audiences. Additional sections cover the active audience perspective, the relationship between media ownership, power structures and messaging, and models of mass media communication including the hypodermic needle model, gatekeeping theory, and uses and gratifications theory.
Peace journalism
1. Peace journalism faces many obstacles including politicized media, traditional war-focused reporting, media economics that rely on advertising, and safety issues for journalists in conflict zones.
2. Experts discuss challenges implementing peace journalism, like Western societies that are war-oriented, and conditions in the Middle East that prefer war narratives. Journalists also find peace stories less exciting than conflict.
3. To transition to peace journalism will require ensuring press freedom and journalist safety, providing trainings, educating students, and developing an international body to support peace journalism standards and practices.

Analysis of my music magazine
Daniel Palmer analyzed the three pieces he created for his music magazine: the front cover, contents page, and double-page spread. For the front cover, he used red, blue, black and yellow colors and a modern font. He included circles to provide information. For the contents page, he used the same colors and background as the front cover. The double-page spread used a black and white background with red and blue text to make colors stand out.

Truth
The document discusses the concept of truth and its relationship to journalism. It explores different philosophical understandings of truth throughout history and how journalism's obligation is to seek and report the truth. The document emphasizes that truth is not an absolute endpoint, but rather a continual process of striving for a more complete understanding through verification of facts and making sense of their context and implications. Journalism's goal should be obtaining the best available version of the truth.

JOURNALISM AND JOURNALISTS.pptx
Journalism involves gathering, assessing, and presenting news and information to the public. Key characteristics include verifying facts, maintaining independence, and serving the public interest above all else. The purpose of journalism is to provide citizens with reliable information needed to make decisions. It acts as a watchdog over powerful groups and provides a forum for public debate, striving to keep discussions relevant and interesting to citizens.
Questions about the truth
This slide set is intended as a common-sense introduction to discussing the vexed concept of "truth".
Positive side-effects of misinformation
There are positive side-effects of misinformation, e.g., for identifying paths of information and source reliability and filtering. Given at SkeptiCamp Phoenix, March 28, 2009.
Group 6 Presentation
Investigative journalism traces its origins to the 1690s but experienced a resurgence in the early 1900s with the emergence of "muckraking" journalism seeking to expose corruption. While similar to tabloids in focusing on victimization and irony, investigative journalism aims to be earnest and in-depth. However, media consolidation and advertiser influence now limit investigative reporting due to its expense. New technologies and nonprofit collaborations may help sustain investigative journalism in monitoring society and informing the public, though semi-investigative tactics focusing on appearances over substance also pose a challenge to the field.
What Are News 2009
This document discusses different definitions and perspectives on what constitutes news. It provides a brief history of news reporting from the 18th/19th century revolutionary press to the modern era of 24/7 digital news. It also examines the changing roles of professional journalists versus citizen journalists online. Key themes discussed include the tension between public interest journalism and commercial pressures, as well as debates around objectivity and the blurring lines between news and entertainment.
Introduction To Architectural Journalism
Journalism involves gathering, assessing, and presenting verified information to citizens in order to help them make better decisions. It is distinguished from other communications by practices like systematic fact-checking and transparency about sources and methods. The primary goals of journalism are to seek truth, serve the public, and act as a watchdog on those in power. Journalists maintain independence and represent all groups in society to provide a forum for open discussion and informed decision-making.
Media Ethics
The document summarizes key concepts and thinkers related to media ethics, including truthfulness in reporting, conflicts of interest, sensationalism, photo editing standards, and balancing commercial and public interests. It discusses Aristotle's golden mean of virtue, Kant's categorical imperative, Mill's principle of utility, and Rawls' veil of ignorance as ethical frameworks. It also covers challenges like deliberate deception, balancing corporate and reporting interests, and the role of advertising in media.
Media Bias Research Paper
The document discusses media bias and its effects. It argues that most news outlets have their own agendas that result in omitting some truths from stories. People often only hear one side of stories and believe what they are told without considering potential biases. This can create divides between people who consume different media and cause them to become entrenched in their own beliefs. The document advocates for people being more discerning about where they get their information and whether it can be fully trusted.
Singer
The document discusses how journalists have historically reacted negatively to new technologies by focusing on the ethical problems they pose rather than exploring how they can enhance journalism. It provides examples of concerns journalists have expressed about the internet, convergence, blogging, user-generated content, and social media. However, it argues that each of these innovations has ultimately enabled better journalism by making it more engaging, accessible, and accountable. Specifically regarding social media, it notes how verification processes have improved and more diverse views and insights are now available, increasing transparency. The document concludes by asking if ethics can be used for inclusion rather than exclusion from the start of new technologies.
Cohen's Folk Devils and Moral Panics (1972)
Stanley Cohen's research on the 1964 Mods and Rockers disturbances in Clacton departed from subcultural theory by focusing on the reaction to the events. Cohen argued that the minimal violence was distorted by the mass media, which painted an exaggerated picture and set off a "deviancy amplification spiral." As concern increased, the police and media further sensationalized the events, labeling the youth as "folk devils" and fueling moral panic. Cohen analyzed how moral panics are used to scapegoat groups and reassert social control during times of social change.
Bull in the Ring Presentation
This document discusses the debate around advocacy journalism versus traditional notions of objectivity and neutrality in journalism. It provides definitions of key terms like objectivity, neutrality, and investigative reporting. It argues that notions of neutrality conflict with the inherent judgement calls of investigative reporting. The document also notes how advocacy journalism has historical roots in muckraking and provides modern examples. It defends advocacy journalism by arguing it can serve the greater good and benefit the public through transparency and as a supplement, not replacement, for traditional journalism.
News media powepoint[1]
The document discusses how news media has shaped societal perceptions of social justice and altered the legal system. It describes how media frames crimes in narrative form as entertainment which creates expectations for punishment, even without convictions. This infotainment model reflects and potentially shapes public opinion in high-profile cases. The document argues this dominant news framing risks mixing justice with entertainment at the expense of nuanced reporting.

*
Analysis: Reading CriticallyAnalyze a text by identifying its significant parts and examining how those parts are related to each other to make a whole.Ask and answer questions about the what, how, and why of a text.
*
Topic and pointIdentify what the text is about and the main point the writer makes about that topic.State the main point at the beginning and the endRespond to some question or issue the topic raisesSignaled by words such as in short, hence, therefore, or my point is
*
Writer’s stance and voiceA writer’s stance—where he or she stands in relation to the audience and subject—involves his or her style, values, and way of establishing credibility.Is the writer speaking at, to, or with the audience?What is the writer’s voice?How does the writer sound—like a reasonable judge, an enthusiastic preacher, a thoughtful teacher, or a reassuring friend?
*
PurposeTo what extent is the writer’s purposeinformative?interpretive?argumentative?
*
Development of ideasWhat kind of support does the writer use to develop the main point?Does the writer define key terms?tell relevant stories?provide logical reasons?
*
Appeals to emotionAre the writer’s words, phrases, clichés, images or examples emotionally charged?How much does the writer depend on emotional appeals to support his or her point?
*
EffectWhat is the text’s effect on your images, ideas, beliefs, and actions?
*
Analysis: Thinking CriticallyRecognize an argument—a path of reasoning aimed at demonstrating the truth or falsehood of an assertion.The assertion must be arguable, an issue about which reasonable people can disagree.A journalism student may assert:As Saturday’s game illustrates, the Buckeyes are on their way to winning the Big Ten title.
*
Analysis: Thinking CriticallyConcentrate on the type of reasoning the writer is usingQuestion the logical relation of a writer’s claims, grounds, and warrants
*
Types of reasoningInductive reasoningAlso called the scientific methodDoes not prove the argument is true; instead it convinces reasonable people that it is probable by presenting evidence (facts, statistics, anecdotes, and expert opinions).With three games remaining Buckeyes have a two-game lead over the second-place Badgers.The Buckeyes’ final three opponents have a combined record of 10 wins and 17 losses.The Badgers lost their two star players to season-ending injuries last week.The Buckeyes’ last three games will be played at home, where they are undefeated this season, giving them the home-field advantage.

Sensationalism in journalism
Sensationalism has existed in news media since humans began sharing stories, often focusing on sex and violence. While some see sensationalism as undermining quality journalism, others argue it fulfills important cultural functions by spreading information and strengthening social bonds. Sensational stories attract large audiences, putting pressure on journalists to produce sensational content to please advertisers, yet risk providing an uninformed public. To avoid sensationalism, freelance writers must distinguish objective journalism from attention-grabbing stories lacking full context or accuracy, and use representative anecdotes to support statistical claims rather than outlier examples.
How to handle sensitive issues in news reporting
News is an essential part of modern societies that allows people to understand events and issues. There is no single definition of news, but it generally refers to a timely account of an event, issue, or person that interests audiences. Key attributes of newsworthiness include timeliness, impact, prominence, proximity, uniqueness, human interest. When reporting on sensitive issues involving race, ethnicity or religion, journalists have a responsibility to get facts right and represent all sides fairly to avoid inflaming tensions. Checklists for responsible reporting of sensitive issues include ensuring a story is true, fair, and will make a difference rather than spread rumors.
More Than Both Sides — Redefining Objectivity Spring 2024
Objectivity has been the gold standard in journalism. But whose objectivity? 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.
The Contextual Approach to News Literacy
1) The document discusses taking a contextual approach to news literacy that focuses on teaching students about media systems and institutions, not just analyzing the content of news stories.
2) Knowing how the news media system works helps people better interpret news messages and be more accurate interpreters rather than partisan.
3) Teaching about topics like campaign finance, the history of media regulations, and comparative international media systems can help students understand the broader context around news production.
More Than Both Sides — Redefining Objectivity 23c.pdf
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
