SUMMARY:Social Journalism Alumni Panel: Listening and Audience Engagement
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, October 25\, three former students of the M.A. in Social Journalism program will discuss how they put into practice the engagement and community-building skills they learned in school in their current jobs. \nDeron Dalton is an editor at the The Tylt\, an online debate site Advance Digital launched last year. He mobilizes and engages pop culture fans on Twitter and other platforms. While at CUNY-J\, he reported on the Black Lives Matter movement and organized an event on how journalists can improve coverage of activism. \nKatelyn Gillum is a community specialist at Meetup\, where she helps to bring groups of people together around shared interests and goals. She also helped build Wire the Wise\, an organization that enlists young professionals in training senior adults in using technology\, while at CUNY-J. \nRachel Glickhouse manages the Documenting Hate project at ProPublica\, a national effort involving multiple news organizations and universities to develop a database tracking hate crimes and bias incidents across the country. Previously\, Rachel worked at Univision\, and her social journalism work at CUNY-J involved covering immigration. \nWe welcome prospective students\, current students\, and anyone interested in social journalism and community engagement to attend the panel. Click here to register. \nThe CUNY Graduate School of Journalism is currently accepting applications for the M.A. in Social Journalism. Social journalism emphasizes community-centered journalism\, listening\, and developing innovative tools to improve reporting. \n

SUMMARY:Covering Hate: When the KKK and Neo-Nazis are the Story
DESCRIPTION:Who would have ever thought that we’d be covering demonstrations with neo-Nazis chanting “blood and soil” in 2017? \nIn the wake of Charlottesville\, U.S. journalists are brushing up on their knowledge of such groups. As journalists\, how do we ensure even-handed coverage of clashes between white nationalist and antifa groups? And how does our love of the First Amendment guide us in covering public incidents where speech may be repressed? Where does speech end and violence begin? \nThe CUNY Graduate School of Journalism and The Deadline Club\, which is the New York City chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists\, will co-host a panel about covering hate groups on Monday\, Oct. 23. There will be a reception at 6 p.m.\, followed by the panel from 6:30 to 8 p.m. The following experts will explain the long history of these conflicts in American society\, and why it matters today. \nPanelists: Sandeep Junnarkar\, Director of Interactive Journalism\, CUNY Graduate School of Journalism; Marc Lacey\, National News Editor\, The New York Times; Ryan Lenz\, Senior Investigative Reporter\, Southern Poverty Law Center;  Lee Rowland\, Senior Staff Attorney\, ACLU; Jessica Schulberg\, Foreign Affairs Reporter\, Huffington Post. \nModerator: J. Alex Tarquinio\, President-Elect\, Society of Professional Journalists \nAlthough this is a free event\, space is limited so reserve your spot today.

SUMMARY:The McGraw Symposium – From Fake News to Virtual Reality: Journalism in the Age of Trump
DESCRIPTION:News industry leaders Gerard Baker\, editor-in-chief of The Wall Street Journal; Sally Buzbee\, executive editor of the Associated Press; Alan Murray\, chief content officer of Time Inc.; and Josh Tyrangiel\, executive vice president of Vice News will be the featured speakers at the fourth annual McGraw Symposium. \nThe Symposium\, sponsored by the McGraw Center for Business Journalism at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism\, will take place on Oct. 12\, 2017 at 7 pm at the J-School in conjunction with the annual conference of the Society for Business Editors and Writers. \nThe Symposium comes at a tumultuous time for the news media\, which has rarely faced such an array of challenges. Allegations of “fake news” and media bias\, attacks on the freedom of the press – and sometimes\, on journalists themselves – have been a feature of the most acrimonious relationship between news organizations and the Administration in a generation. \nTrust in the media is increasingly split along partisan lines\, spurring heated debate about the proper role of journalism. At the same time\, the pace of digital change continues to intensify\, as newsrooms double down on video and experiment with new tools such as bots and virtual reality while dealing with continuing financial pressures. \nThose are among the topics the industry leaders will cover at the Symposium. We’ll discuss how they’re tackling these challenges\, transforming their newsrooms and\, perhaps most important\, where they see opportunities ahead despite the media turmoil. \nTickets for the McGraw Symposium can be purchased through the SABEW site on Sched.org. A reception will precede it at 6 pm. \nFor further information\, contact mcgrawcenter@journalism.cuny.edu.

What actually happens is that you notice something — a bit of news\, or maybe something more inchoate — and you start thinking about it. You turn it over in your mind\, sharpen it\, find some grain in it; you decide how you actually feel about it\, figure out what drew you to it in the first place; you make some phone calls\, draw up a list of people to talk to…until eventually\, it’s not just a topic\, not just an intriguing factoid\, but a viable story idea. Now that all journalists essentially have access to the same information\, the ability to hone ideas is more important than ever. There’s only so much of a competitive edge you can get by having a perfectly curated Twitter or RSS feed.
