Complete video at: fora.tv David Kirkpatrick, author of The Facebook Effect, asserts that the Facebook News Feed is a new form of journalism. Quoting founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Kirkpatrick says, "A squirrel dying in front of your house sometimes matters more to you than people starving in Africa." ----- We arguably live in a golden age for news media. Technology has enabled unprecedented access to information. Americans are consuming more news than ever from myriad sources. And as the recent uprisings in the Middle East have dramatized so powerfully, social media have not only opened new channels and driven increased consumption, they've enabled consumers to become creators, citizens to become journalists. And yet, amid this great democratic flowering of news and access, there are lingering and disturbing doubts about the vitality of the fourth estate. In today's competitive digital media environment, are the news media fulfilling their obligation to be responsible mediators of information and public discourse? The Paley Center's Media Council has convened prominent journalists from print, broadcast, and digital media; news executives; public officials; journalism entrepreneurs; and media experts to explore this issue in a constructive dialogue. - Paley Center for Media David Kirkpatrick, longtime senior editor for Internet and technology at Fortune Magazine, has written for two decades about the computer and technology industries, as well as the impact of the ...

www.youtube.com www.youtube.com Who let the Logs out!?

Mainstream media is struggling to stay afloat and the way they report the news will have to change to stay current with peoples attention spans. As more people turn to social media like Twitter or Facebook to get their news, the media and the way people absorb it has changed forever.
This week, the mainstream media showed their ineptitude when it comes to reporting of Afghanistan. From declaring WikiLeaks huge release of damning war documents an "epic yawnfest," to propagandizing for more war on TIME's brutally misleading cover, readers and viewers were treated to a display of sloppy journalism and jingoism. The war in Afghanistan isn't making us safer, and it isn't worth the cost. Brave New Foundation's Derrick Crowe explains why. facebook.com twitter.com
"Well, the war you don't see is expressed eloquently by the New York Times, that range of extraordinary media apologists that we've just seen. The reason we don't see the war on civilians, the war that has caused the most extraordinary devastation, human and cultural and structural devastation in both Iraq and Afghanistan, is because of what is almost laughingly called the mainstream media. The one apology, not these apologies that we've seen this morning from Fox to CBS, right across the spectrum, to the New York Times this morning, the real apology that counted was the New York Times when it apologized to its readers for not showing us the war in—or the reasons that led up, rather, to the invasion of Iraq that produced this horrific war. I mean, these people now have become so embedded with the establishment, so embedded with authority, they're what Brecht called the spokesmen of the spokesmen. They're not journalists. Brooks writes about a "culture of exposure." Excuse me, isn't that journalism? Are we so distant from what journalism ought to be, not simply an echo chamber for authority, that somebody in the New York Times can attack a journalist who's done his job? Hastings did a wonderful job. He caught out McChrystal, as he should have done. That's his job. In a country where the media is constitutionally freer, nominally, than any other country on earth, the disgrace of the recent carnage in the Middle East and in Afghanistan is largely down to the fact that the ...

Every Square Inch, an educational series exploring the interaction of faith and vocation, is the ministry effort of a new congregation called North Point Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC) in West Peabody, MA. Started this past January as an opportunity both to talk about what it means to live out the Christian faith in "every square inch of life" and to invite neighbors from the North Shore to church, North Point (EPC) sponsored the discussions once a month immediately following their worship service. They also filmed each professionally as an hour-long program for local cable access stations in Beverly, Cape Ann and Hamilton/Wenham, and for the church web site. Each panel discussion included the expert perspectives of several faculty members from Gordon College. "Part of our vision as a new church has been to reflect on God's nature and character, wrestle with the implications of these reflections into every area of our lives, and respond accordingly," said David Cook, pastor of North Point. "This series has helped us do that and our guest speakers from Gordon have been particularly thoughtful about these issues." On March 28, Jo Kadlecek, senior writer and instructor of communication arts at Gordon, explored issues related to media and journalism with Gideon Strauss, editor of Comment Magazine and parent of a Gordon student, and Lil Copan, acquisitions editor for Paraclete Press.

As an image of the Wall Street Journal from Apples new iPad appeared on the screen behind him, Rupert Murdoch, chairman and CEO of News Corp., told host Marvin Kalb and a packed audience in the ballroom April 6, this may be the saving of newspapers. I got a glimpse of the future this weekend with the introduction of the iPad, said Murdoch, one of the nations leading news entrepreneurs whose holdings include the Wall Street Journal and the Fox Broadcasting Co. It has brought together all forms of media. In a one-on-one interview on The Kalb Report, Murdoch showed how iPad users could see the printed version of the Wall Street Journal presented electronically and how they can go back seven days to see any copy of the Journal in its entirety. He was particularly impressed how a viewer could click on a picture and see it come to life as a video presentation. "We update the front page every half hour during the day, he said. Every word of the Wall Street Journal is there. Tens of thousands of people who bought the first iPads over the weekend checked out the Wall Street Journal feature, he said. The Journal will be available on the iPad for a $4 a week subscription price free to anyone who has a subscription to the print edition. At the same time, he said, the Journal is going to stop Google and Microsoft from taking our stories for nothing. Newspapers, he said, have to stand up to the online companies to end their free use of the content the news companies produce. Let them ...

As journalism goes through extraordinary transformation, Immersive Journalism offers a novel way to utilize gaming and Virtual Reality platforms to convey news and non-fiction stories. These platforms offer the user an immersive experience that can compliment and extend news media reports in traditional media. The experience depicted here explores how to report the information provided in FOIA obtained transcripts documenting the interrogation of Detainee 063, Al Khatani in Guantanamo Bay Prison in 2002 and 2003. It also attempts to describe, through this new platform, the multiple news reports on detainees being held for extended periods in stress positions. The collaboration with scientists Mel Slater and Maria Sanchez-Vives informs this effort with current research on the perception of our sense of embodiment, allowing for a viewer to undergo an illusionary transformation of the physical body, thus perceptually, if not literally, entering the body of the other.

"International news does not have to cost a lot of money," she says. "We all have the technology now to do it." ----- International news coverage has steadily diminished over the past decade.
