Podcast appearances and mentions of alberto ibarg

The following is a conversation between Alberto Ibarguen, President & CEO of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, and Denver Frederick, the Host of The Business of Giving.

Alberto Ibargüen, the CEO and President of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, is retiring from his position after 18 years. He steered millions of dollars into art projects in South Florida that brought art into he hands of residents. He joins WLRN's Carlos Frías to talk about Miami's ever-changing art scene — and what he hopes to see next.

Today's episode features a conversation hosted recently by the Digital Public Library of America, DPLA. The DPLA brings together many collections of America's libraries, archives, and museums, and makes them freely available to the world on a shared platform.  This DPLA Book Talk features a conversation on trust and the crisis faced by our institutions; the promise of the movements rising to challenge them; and the obstacles we must confront if we are to rebuild civic life and create meaningful change.  It includes Ethan Zuckerman, Katherine Maher, and Alberto Ibargüen. Ethan Zuckerman is an associate professor of public policy, communication and information at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and is founder of the Institute for Digital Public Infrastructure, a research group that is studying and building alternatives to the existing commercial internet. He's the author of two books: Mistrust: Why Losing Faith in Institutions Provides the Tools to Transform Them and Rewire: Digital Cosmopolitans in the Age of Connection. Mistrust, published in November 2020, looks at how and why Americans are losing faith in our institutions and how we can harness the methods of successful social movements to both transform and replace them, and serves as the basis for today's discussion. Katherine Maher was the CEO of the Wikimedia Foundation until this spring, when she stepped down after a long and successful tenure. The foundation operates Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects. She is a longtime advocate for free and open societies, and has worked around the world leading the integration of technology and innovation in human rights, good governance, and international development. Katherine has worked with UNICEF, the National Democratic Institute, the World Bank, and Access Now on programs supporting technologies for democratic participation, civic engagement, and open government.  Alberto Ibargüen, who moderates the discussion, is president and CEO of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. He is the former publisher of The Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald and during his tenure, The Miami Herald won three Pulitzer Prizes and El Nuevo Herald won Spain's Ortega y Gasset Prize for excellence in journalism.

Alberto Ibargüen pulls no punches: “We do not have an informed citizenry” and fact and opinion are being conflated, he says. As president and CEO of the Knight Foundation, Ibargüen spends his days doing something about it. His team champions efforts to innovate journalism business models and technology to better tell and deliver news the public needs to know. He shares lessons gleaned from his time as publisher of The Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald, and explains why Knight recently committed $300 million to local journalism initiatives. And he leaves Team Interrupt wondering about ethics and governance in the era of artificial intelligence.

En Miami, Alberto Ibargüen, presidente y consejero delegado de la Fundación Knight, nos cuenta porqué su equipo dedica sus esfuerzos en financiar iniciativas que innoven el modelo periodístico de Estados Unidos (como el Texas Tribune) o a implantar nuevas tecnologías que ayuden a contar y distribuir mejor las noticias. También comparte Alberto con nosotros algunas de las lecciones aprendidas como editor de The Miami Herald y de El Nuevo Herald, y nos explica a donde van a parar los 140 millones de dólares que la Fundación Knight reparte cada año.

From 2008: With $2.6 billion in assets, the Miami-based John S. and James L. Knight Foundation is the 22nd largest foundation in the United States. Its mission is the betterment of the 26 communities in which it works and the promotion of journalism as a career and industry nationwide. That puts Alberto Ibargüen, CEO of the Knight Foundation and a former publisher of the Miami Herald, at the same crossroads that silent movies encountered with talkies, talkies with radio, and so on.

Alberto Ibargüen, el Presidente de la Knight Foundation, relata la historia de la fundación,  explica en que consiste la misión de la Knight y de su método para identificar proyectos exitosos en la innovación del periodismo y los medios de comunicación.   Esta entrevista fue grabada en  Abril 9, 2016 durante la Reunión de Medio Año de la Sociedad Interamericana de Prensa en Punta Cana, República Dominicana.

With $2.6 billion in assets, the Miami-based John S. and James L. Knight Foundation is the 22nd largest foundation in the United States. Its mission is the betterment of the 26 communities in which it works and the promotion of journalism as a career and industry nationwide.The latter part of Knight’s mission is particularly challenging at a time when traditional newspapers are shrinking and, in many cases, evaporating.That puts Alberto Ibargüen, CEO of the Knight Foundation and a former publisher of the Miami Herald, at the same crossroads that silent movies encountered with talkies, talkies with radio, radio with television, television with cable, and now traditional print journalism with online reporting, blogs, podcasting, v-logs, streaming media, and so on.Since 1950, the Knight Foundation has invested more than $300 million to advance quality journalism and freedom of expression worldwide. It has a vital interest in seeing journalism survive in whatever form it takes.I interviewed Ibargüen for an old media business magazine and liked his approach to a rapidly changing world, and I was delighted when he accepted my invitation for this second round of conversation in March 2008 .Subscribe to Mr. Media for FREE on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=MrMediaRadioFor more interviews like this one: http://www.MrMedia.com What is Mr. Media® Interviews?
