Journalist Jobs, Job Listings & Careers Search
If you turn on your local evening news, you may not notice anything out of the ordinary. But if you change the channel, you'll think you've entered a parallel universe
I hate to be one of those old crocks who talks about how things were better in the old days. But you know what? Some things really were better in the old days, including newspapers
Public Perception of Media Bias Hits Historic High
In a new study that calls into question the credibility of the news business, public belief that the media is inaccurate, biased, and influenced by powerful people has reached historic highs, according to the Pew Research Center
Saudi Arabia's Prince Alwaleed and Sky News lead the list of new satellite TV news contenders in the Middle East
The question has, of course, been debated forever. Fox says it is, as the name would suggest, a news network. Its critics say it is actually the propaganda arm of the Republican Party and that its highest loyalty is not to accuracy, fairness or other journalistic values but to the furtherance of the party line
Rupert Murdoch's Legacy -- Greater Press Controls
When I first read that media mogul Rupert Murdoch had closed down his sensationalist British tabloid News of the World, my first reaction was, 'Good riddance!' But I'm no longer rejoicing -- the scandal around the now defunct daily's unscrupulous journalism will encourage government controls of the media worldwide
Military-Industrial Journalism
Rupert Murdoch's specialty has been the practice of journalism in cynical mockery of our desire for knowledge. Suddenly it's clear to everyone
Another Blow to Journalism's Image
This used to be a noble profession. Now comes the implosion of media baron Rupert Murdoch's empire in the wake of revelations that reporters at his British tabloid paid police for information and hacked into people's voice mails. The 168-year-old paper ceased publication a few days back, but that has hardly been the end of it
We Americans are doing a lot of finger wagging at the scandal unfolding in Britain around Rupert Murdoch's newspapers. Minions of the media mogul there are accused of phone and computer hacking into the lives of seemingly everyone from high government officials to the families of war victims
Britain's Tabloid Scandal Sounds Familiar
It is with a mixture of outrage and envy that an old-school newspaper veteran like me views Great Britain's newspaper hacking scandal
NPR Loses in 'Gotcha,' But What Was Won?
Maybe I'm confused, but if someone tricked me into a lunch by pretending to be someone else, secretly hid a camera, goaded me into comments during a private conversation -- then released only the juiciest parts on the Internet, I'd at least have the right to be ticked off, right?
'Citizen Journalism' Fad is Not Journalism
I do not believe in 'citizen journalism.' Yes, I know that's heresy. Yes, I know the old model has changed: the monologue is now a dialogue. Yes, I know ordinary people with cell phone cameras now 'report' newsworthy events and bloggers are indispensable to the national dialogue. However, ...
Why Classified Secrets Should Be Kept From the Public
In his latest book, 'Necessary Secrets: National Security, the Media, and the Rule of Law', Schoenfeld traces the tense history between the news media and the government over disclosures of classified information
Why News Is Aimed At Your Emotions
It can be hard to resist sensational news, from the 'if it bleeds, it leads' priorities of local newscasts to the harangues of cable TV pundits. Veteran newsman and journalist Jack Fuller wants to know why. Fuller examines the allure of emotionally charged news and how that affects the kind of information Americans are getting today
Archiving Twitter Tweets: Dumbing Down Journalism
Here's a warning about the latest virus of so-called social networking that is infecting American journalism. The august Library of Congress has decided to spend untold millions on archiving Twitter, that latest open exercise in getting off your chest in print anything that crosses your mind, in 140 characters or less.
Congress Moves Forward on Media Shield Law
Legislation designed to protect journalists' confidential sources from being exposed in open court is progressing toward becoming law as the Senate prepares to vote on its version of the shield law. The House passed a version of the bill in March, but objections from the White House and others wary of its national security implications had stalled the Senate's progress until this month
Book of the Year -- 'Game Change!'
If you want to refresh yourself on Barack Obama's talents at organizing and leading and inspiring, you must sit down right now and read the book of the moment -- 'Game Change' by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann. There, laid out for all to follow, is the story of Obama's incredible rise to the top and how he overcame the forces of intolerance and old-fashioned thinking.
An Elegy for Journalism? The Future of the News and Journalism
The twenty-first century has been a traumatic one for journalism. Changes in how people consume news combined with the Great Recession have produced a dark era in journalism. In Losing the News, Alex Jones, addresses how the rise of the Internet and the precipitous decline in advertising have left print journalism in desperate straits.
Nothing Sporting About Gossip as 'News'
Once upon a time, we looked away. If Babe Ruth was drunk at night but hit a home run during the day, only the home run was reported. That attitude has changed. As behavior got worse, journalism got more pointed. Now comes news that TMZ is sharpening its fangs for a bite into the sports business and this could take the ugliness to a whole new level
Journalism: Desperate Metaphors, Revenue Models and the Need for Better Journalism
Apparently, some in the old media have decided that it is, in fact, an either/or game and that the best way to save, if not journalism, at least themselves, is by pointing fingers and calling names. It's a tactic familiar to schoolyard inhabitants everywhere: when all else fails, reach for the nearest insult and throw it around indiscriminately.
Are journalistic standards holding up under the stresses the profession is facing? Two recent events offer an opportunity for reflection.
We are worried, here in the newspaper business (motto: 'What, YOU never make misstakes?'). We're hearing that you readers have lost your faith in us. Polls show that, in terms of public trust, the news media now rank lower than used-car salespeople, kidnappers, tapeworms and airline flight announcements. We are still slightly ahead of lawyers.
Fox - White House Media War is Killing News
When members of the Obama administration announced that they did not consider Fox a real news network, they were actually bringing attention to what has become the sad reality of real news gathering in this country: It's disappearing faster than contestants on Survivor
Finding Opportunity in the Recession
Of all the industries devastated by the recession, the media has been one of the most notoriously affected. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 65,000 media jobs were cut in 2008 -- nearly 4 percent of the industry's total. Newspapers are perhaps the biggest loser, with more than 9 percent of jobs eliminated in 2008. However, ...
