Journalism for a New Age
|
|
 |
The Journalism for a New Age Endowment Campaign, launched in 2007 by the ASNE Foundation, will help fortify ASNE resources for the challenges and opportunities ahead.
To date, we have raised nearly $800,000. Our goal is to raise an additional $1,125,000 by Dec 31, 2009.
Why this specific number? If we are successful, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation will match these funds with a $750,000 challenge grant. This means ASNE will have an additional $1,875,000 to help assure quality journalism thrives as the news business is reshaped by structural change.
All gifts made through Dec. 31, 2009, will be matched. A $100 gift translates to $166, a $150 gift to $250 and a $500 gift to $833.
Please consider making a contribution NOW. Here’s how:
- Donate through PayPal by clicking on the Donate button to the right.
- By phone at 703-453-1121.
- By mail. Please print out and complete the campaign gift/pledge form, and mail it to ASNE, 11690B Sunrise Valley Dr., Reston, VA 20191. A pledge of support can be made now and paid over time.
- Don’t forget to ask if your company will match your gift. All corporate matching gifts are matched by the Knight grant.
To learn more about the campaign, see our Campaign Snapshot.
Thank you and please know that all gifts, at whatever level, are welcome!

Shield Law vote likely, Thursday, Nov. 5We are happy to announce that the movement toward a strong federal shield law appears to be back on the right path. Weeks after the White House produced language that threatened the viability of S 448, the Free Flow of Information Act, as that legislation was to be considered by the Senate Judiciary Committee, and due in no small part to the efforts of ASNE members .. |  |
Covering pandemic fluFrom Bob Giles ...As new outbreaks of H1N1 flu continue to disrupt families, schools and communities across the country and around the world, the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard has prepared a comprehensive online guide for journalists covering the flu story.

ASNE protests Obama administration language that weakens shield lawAfter months of productive negotiations with members of the Senate Judiciary Committee and representatives of the more than 70 media entities supporting the shield law, the Obama administation has presented a series of proposed amendments that represent a significant step backward. | |
New shield law revisions. Vote possible Sept. 24.Despite some damaging changes to the shield law, we continue to support this legislation and hope you will as well. The Senate Judiciary Committee could vote as early as Thursday, Sept. 24. However, it is much more likely to occur on Oct. 1. So there is still time for you to help create a federal shield law. | |
Bloomberg v. Fed -- Deadline for Fed to appeal is Sept. 30The Federal Reserve has until Sept. 30 to decide whether or not to appeal the court’s decision to grant Bloomberg access to records of the banks that sought emergency funding, and for the first time the decision rests on President Obama. | |

ASNE's member magazine includes regular columns by ASNE President Martin Kaiser, Kurt Greenbaum on online journalism, Edward Miller on management, Kevin Goldberg on journalism law, Jody Calendar on changes in the industry and Mark Mahoney's On Deadline.
Attorneys Wotherspoon and Leblanc explore how courts in the U.S., Canada, U.K. and Australia have determined jurisdiction of defamatory postings, and how courts have viewed the concepts of “responsible journalism” and “who is a journalist.” |
Two senators want to return a citizenship question to the 2010 census. On Oct. 7 Republican Senators Bob Bennett, Utah, and David Vitter, La., introduced an amendment to stop funding the 2010 census unless it includes a question of citizenship status. “If the current census plan goes ahead, the inclusion of non-citizens toward apportionment will artificially increase the population count in certain states, and that will likely result in the loss of congressional seats for nine other states, including Louisiana,” said Vitter in an Oct. 16 press release. |
The numbers told the story at this year's Religion Newswriters Association Conference. It was the 60th time religion reporters from secular news outlets gathered to discuss their craft, gather new story ideas, recognize the best religion stories from the previous year and generally recharge their batteries on a beat that is one of the most challenging and rewarding in journalism. |
How do journalists’ stories, especially about politics or other issues of public importance, affect public perceptions? Answering this question has led to one of the most popular approaches to studying the effects of media coverage. It is known as the agenda-setting function (or effect) of mass media. |
Increased competition for the big sports story isn't a new challenge for editors – heck, there were eight New York City dailies chasing after the Yankees, Giants and Dodgers back in the '40s – but where the competition is coming from now is what is changing the equation.
The most-publicized newcomer into the fray for local sports news is ESPN with its local Web site in Chicago and plans to expand that model to Los Angeles, Dallas and New York. |
How can editors guide their staffs more effectively during holiday periods, or for that matter, at any time when spirits are sinking and whispers of discontent are growing louder? |
