How journalists care: A framework for building trust and relevance
Care involves the ability to hear, understand and recognize others’ needs and feelings. Centering care, though, goes one step further by taking on the work of looking after and providing for the needs of others. In a journalism context, sometimes that’s just witnessing and being present. Other times, it’s helping to connect people with resources and services. It can also happen by reporting a story and trying to leverage that reporting for individual and community change.
What are the impacts of newsroom training on reimagining political coverage?
Research into a joint effort from Hearken, Solutions Journalism and Trusting News shows progress By Sue Robinson, University of Wisconsin-Madison The past few years have seen a surge in newsroom cohorts and training programs to help upskill and support needed changes in the journalism industry. Many newsroom leaders and funders are right to wonder whether these programs actually move the needle on what they promise to support.
Rectifying Harm Through Care-Based Practices: How Journalists Might Tend to Disengaged Communities
ABSTRACT Journalists struggle to engage with disengaged communities, especially conservative and BIPOC groups. In this research, we suggest that an ethic of care, born from developmental psychology, can be a strategy for trust building.
Engagement journalism will have to confront a tougher reality
Engagement journalism will have to confront a tougher reality “Until our engagement journalism tactics confront the reality of discursive silos in which you believe this happened, I believe that happened, and we never end up with a shared set of facts…they will fail.” I have a good prediction and a bad prediction for 2023. The first will make you feel all warm and fuzzy and yay democracy and all.

Introduction
Decentering Journalism in the Contemporary Media Culture Chapter: (p.1) IntroductionSource: News After TrumpAuthor(s): Matt Carlson Sue Robinson Seth C. Lewis Publisher: Oxford University Press DOI:10.1093/oso/9780197550342.003.0001 This introductory chapter begins by calling for a decentering of journalism in favor of a broader view of the complex political communication environment that has accompanied the proliferation of digital media channels.
Burning Fire - Getting Through the Other Side of Change
When I look back on my technology career, it’s clear that being an effective and open-minded leader is of paramount importance, especially during tough times versus smooth sailing. Keeping your team moving ahead, focused, and driven, when it feels like the paint is peeling off the walls all around you, can be emotionally draining. The first time I encountered some rough seas was when I worked at a multinational investment bank, where I needed to deliver results during a particularly tough cycle.

Burning Fire - From Administration to Technology
It was 1994 and I was working at a large textile company in the U.K. My role was personal administrative assistant for the vice president of manufacturing. Technology for our office consisted of WordPerfect for DOS on what I recall was a Novell 3.51 network! We had no email, no color options; it was black-and-white text, and smoking was allowed in the office. During this time, I learned a personal and valuable lesson on how diversity and inclusion could be the keys to moving my career forward.
Haematology of pregnancy
Abstract The impact of haematological disease on pregnancy outcomes can be significant, and in turn pregnancy can change the course of pre-existing haematological conditions or trigger new disease. Physiological changes that occur during pregnancy to meet the needs of the developing fetus can lead to complications in vulnerable women.

Digital Press Criticism: The Symbolic Dimensions of Donald Trump’s Assault on U.S. Journalists as the “Enemy of the People”
Introduction Digital media are notable for radically extending the range of mediated voices in the civil society sphere of public discourse—a terrain within which journalists had long enjoyed special prominence because of the restrictiveness of mass communication channels they controlled (Lewis 2012). This discourse is not only supplementary to traditional news outlets, but has always provided a space for commentary and critique of these outlets.

Campaign coverage as test bed for engagement experiments
Campaign coverage as test bed for engagement experiments “Get ready to answer your door not only to campaigns’ canvassers but also to a local or regional reporter — especially if you live in a rural area or are a member of a marginalized community.” In 2019, media trust projects and engagement initiatives continued to proliferate across the world’s newsrooms, especially here in the United States as we approach the 2020 presidential election.
Dear College Journalism Students, Think: Journalism as Process
November 8, 2013 When I was an editor on my college newspaper back in 1993, we were just getting on email and trying to learn Pagemaker (remember that?). A traditional news organization, The New Hampshire — and the journalism professors at the University of New Hampshire — taught me solid reporting and writing skills, not to mention the protocols of vetting sources and assuming anyone who contacted us had an agenda they wanted publicity for.
When White reporters cover race: News media, objectivity and community (dis)trust
Abstract When White reporters cover issues involving race, they often fall back on traditional, passive practices of objectivity, such as deferring to official sources and remaining separate from communities. Using in-depth interviews and focus groups combined with textual analysis in a case study of one Midwestern city, we explore the ethical tensions between the commitment to neutrality and the need for trust building in communities.

Sue Robinson: School Board election spurs moment of racial reckoning
Madison, we find ourselves at a moment of reckoning. A racial reckoning. We find ourselves at a moment not merely of change, but of evolution. We find ourselves at a moment poised for progress. This moment is the Feb. 19 Board of Education primary race (and the April 2 general election to follow) in which three people of color are running: Ananda Mirilli for Seat 5, Ali Muldrow for Seat 4, and Kaleem Caire for Seat 3.
Reporters go on the offensive
As journalism continues to be attacked and “fake news” continues to proliferate in 2019, reporters will aggressively develop audiences using different and more niche kinds of social platforms. Journalists will turn away from Twitter and Facebook, where increasing numbers of bots and excessive vitriol dominate exchanges, and implement citizen relationships in more closed forums.

8 Takeaways from Moving Journalism from the Classroom to the Community - MediaShift
The student looked vexed as she lingered outside my office door. “Come on in,” I said, smiling at her with what I hoped was my most welcoming you-can-talk-to-me-I-promise-not-to-judge expression. It was the middle of the semester and the young woman was in my new Journalism For Racial Justice: Amplifying Marginalized Voices in Local Community class that ran in Spring 2016 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I knew things were getting real for the students.
Why Is This Progressive College Town So Racist?
Photo by Alex Garland, courtesy of the Backbone Campaign. One student spoke of wearing ear buds so she could pretend not to hear racial slurs walking down the street. Another described hearing dorm mates call black people “monkeys” and “apes,” and agonized over finding bananas outside her door, wondering whether the gesture was meant as a racist joke. Students tell of the hate mail they received after they were quoted in local media calling attention to racial injustice on campus.
Another View: Build Trust So Media ‘Safe Spaces’ Aren’t Necessary
My newsfeeds on various social media platforms erupted last week after video emerged of University of Missouri Assistant Professor Melissa Click organizing a crowd of protesters to physically exclude a University of Missouri senior and freelance photographer, Tim Tai, and other journalists from their “safe space.” The problem was this safe space happened to be on public property and the protesters were violating the reporters’ First Amendment rights.
