Laurel Moffatt takes a trip down to the mighty Mississippi River. There, she discovers something that demands respect. What else do you owe a thing that can both divide a continent and bring you directly into its heart? That can both float a ship and sink it?But it is also a place to contemplate our efforts to control the world around us. Here, we realise that something is lost when we bring the wilderness to heel, putting it behind barriers or up on a wall as a testimony to our own strength.Rivers have a way of reminding us that not everything can be so easily subdued. And God has a way of reminding us that He is the one who does the subduing.LINKSRequired reading: John McPhee's piece, Atchafalaya, published in the February 23, 1987 of the New Yorker.

环保是一个涵义很广、也很复杂的话题。每次有人对这个话题产生兴趣，可能都是从一个具体的画面，或是一条政策的推广落地开始的。比如中国不断发展的“限塑令”。我们已经先后干掉了被称为“白色垃圾”的一次性泡沫塑料，以及超市里的免费塑料袋。而最近的新动态是，奶茶杯、咖啡盖上插着的吸管，也被纳入了这一行列。这一期节目，我们就探究一下吸管这个小小的产品。在成为环保政策管控的对象之前，吸管首先是一个伟大的发明。它起源于我们使用工具的本能、发展于美国的城市化进程和公共卫生需求，又随着石油工业的发展，得以与塑料这种当时的新兴材料紧密相连，变成了一种真正意义上“习以为常”的产品。我们目前对于塑料产业的认识与反思，很多时候可能都是片面的。一方面，在作为上游环节的塑料使用方式和技术中，普通人有清晰概念的部分太少了；另一方面，那些极富冲击力的故事与画面，以及塑料后端处置环节的孱弱现状，又在一次次刺痛我们的良知——这可能预示着一个“新塑料经济”时代的开端，但也有可能只是道德与商业的又一次互相指责。不管怎样，在环保的旗帜下，一系列新材料、新做法现在已经开始轰轰烈烈地“改造吸管”了，而你我都是这个改造运动的观察者、参与者。本期节目，我们就和大家展开讲讲这根“被嫌弃的吸管的一生”，以及与它密切相关的塑料工业。| 主播 |肖文杰 | 《第一财经》杂志主笔许冰清 | 《第一财经》杂志主笔| 时间轴 |03:02 考古发现的第一根吸管竟如此贵气05:48 公共卫生需求加速了吸管的发展10:36 没有塑料，就没有便利的现代生活15:58 当一只海龟的鼻孔被塑料吸管塞住后……19:46 本意向善的限塑令变成限期整改运动27:11 干掉吸管的新杯盖，会用到更多塑料？| 延伸阅读 |Disposable America《大西洋月刊》撰稿人Alexis C.

Hello! And welcome to another episode of Inside The Newsroom. Today’s guest is… my former boss and editor, Scott Brodbeck. In 2015, I stayed in Washington D.C. for the summer before I took myself to Missouri to begin my master’s, and I reached out to Scott via LinkedIn looking for absolutely any work experience I could get my hands on. A quick chat or two later and I was running the streets of D.C. (D.C. is extremely hot in the summer and I lost many pounds in body weight) covering hyperlocal news in two neighbourhoods. Scott’s a pretty remarkable person. He started his network of local news blogs in 2010 while studying for an MBA at Georgetown. He previously worked for the local NBC and Fox affiliates in town, and has thus been on both sides of the local journalism spectrum, both as a reporter and now an owner. Scott’s take on the current state of local journalism is completely unique, and listening to how he’s survived this period is nothing short of inspiring. Anyway, listen to the podcast and let me know what you think. Meanwhile, below are the highlights of everything we talked about including some extra reading 🤓Local News Is Dying, and Americans Have No IdeaA recent study by Pew Research found that 71 percent of U.S. adults think their local news outlet is doing “very or somewhat well financially”, despite just 14 percent of respondents saying they had paid for local news in the last year. That gap between perception and reality has meant that an estimated 13,000 communities have completely lost their local news coverage, according to a study by the University of North Carolina’s School of Media and Journalism. Alexis C. Madrigal, The AtlanticThanks to the amazing folks at Pew Research for building a tool that allows you to find out about local journalism in your home city.God Bless CharityIf Facebook and Google continue to shrink the advertising market for everyone else in the game, the only way for local journalism to survive might be to rely on billionaire philanthropists and reader donations. The U.S. now has 200 nonprofit newsrooms, according to the Institute For Nonprofit News, and that number is growing. Having seen it work from the inside at The Texas Tribune, I’m extremely high on this type of business model. That said, most startups can’t rely solely on rich people’s cash. So keep giving to your local news organisation, if you can afford to.Gerry Smith, BloombergHow Did The Texas Tribune Do It?I had the fortune of working for one of America’s greatest journalism success stories last year, which was launched in 2009 and has thrived ever since. The Tribune focuses on everything politics in the state of Texas, and is read by 1.9 million monthly users. Led by its CEO, Evan Smith and EIC, Emily Ramshaw (amazing people), the Tribune hopes to double its number of paying members to 10,000 by the year 2025. Oh, it also wants to build on the astonishing $56 million it‘s raised since its inception. The Tribune is an excellent example of how local news can not only stay alive, but change the landscape in the process. Expect to see a lot more Tribunes in the next decade.

That way I’ll appear in clever algorithms and more people will be able to read. Cheers.Yes Google! Finally 🙏I’ll try not to rip on Google tooooo much, but they’ve finally got serious about fixing local news. Now, whether or not you believe Google is responsible for creating the thousands of holes in local journalism, we can all agree they have too much money to know what to do with and have the ability to fill said holes. Together with McClatchy, the first city to receive the benefits of this joint initiative is Youngstown, Ohio. And just as well, as the city’s long standing publication, The Vindicator, closed its doors on August 31st. Christine Fisher, EngadgetWhy Do Newspapers Still Endorse Politicians? The ritual of newspapers endorsing political candidates has always baffled me. Knowing how newsrooms work and why journalism even exists makes this age-old practice of taking sides all the more dangerous. Especially in today’s angry climate. There is evidence that newspaper endorsements do make a difference. But that’s not the point. Newspapers shouldn’t be in the business of taking sides and telling people who to vote for. Or in the Orlando Sentintel’s case, who not to vote for. I think that’s why The Texas Tribune is so well-respected from both Democrats and Republicans. Their business model would be ruined if they didn’t stick to just reporting. In any case, data viz whiz Noah Veltman neatly visualized every newspaper’s endorsement since 1980. Thank you Noah.How Much Do You Pay For News?What I admire about Scott’s network is that it’s completely free for readers. I mean, he kind of has to keep it free, because his audience is so small and niche, and unlikely to pay for news about a single neighbourhood. An excuse often used in favor of the paywall is that people used to spend money on newspapers, but I don’t sign up to that theory. Newspapers earned billions of dollars from advertising, let alone whatever they made from selling the physical papers on top. They probably could have got away without charging for the actual newspaper. Today’s digital paywall once again excludes certain audiences from consuming news. Doesn’t that go against a principal of journalism to spread factual information as far and wide as possible? It’s why I love working for the Guardian so much who I’ll unashamedly plug. The Guardian made its first profit this year in more than two decades, primarily through reader donations. I get that the Guardian is an international brand, but the fact here is that good, factual reporting will always earn the trust, and money, from readers.Joshua Benton, Niemen LabRelated Podcasts#43 — Kashmir Hill (New York Times)#39 — Henry Abbott (TrueHoop)#36 — Richard Deitsch (The Athletic)Last Time#47 — Ryan Grim (The Intercept)Thanks so much for making it all the way to the bottom.

You’re reading the inaugural edition of the Inside The Newsroom podcast newsletter. If you like it, then consider subscribing to get something similar sent to your inbox every time I publish a podcast. And maybe even tell a friend or colleague too.Today’s Guest Is…… Richard Deitsch, a journalist for The Athletic covering sports media and radio host for Sportsnet 590 in Toronto. Richard previously covered sports and its media for Sports Illustrated for more than 20 years. We talked about various topics including the rise of alternative sports media (i.e. The Athletic) against legacy outlets (i.e. ESPN and Sports Illustrated) and how ESPN is dealing with insurgents to its empire. Below is some further reading (kind of like being back at school but more fun) about everything we discussed. New Sports Sheriff In Town The Athletic — the subscription-based sports website whose ambition is to “be the local sports page for every city in the country” — launched in January 2016. The site now has dedicated sites for more than 45 cities across North America, as well as for certain pro and college sports. Momentum appears to be strong — they raised $40m in their latest round of funding — in part because they now exist as a hive of former writers from the likes of ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Yahoo Sports and more. The comeback of the paywall and its consequences have been fascinating to watch, as the Athletic very much has become the Spotify or Netflix of sports media.Kevin Draper, The New York TimesPrepare To Pay For Your News AgainEmployee layoffs are commonplace in today’s world, in large part due to Google and Facebook’s domination of advertising revenue. Between 2008 and 2017, around 27,000 newsroom jobs in the U.S. were cut. In the UK, more than 200 local newspapers have been completely erased. To combat the decline, more and more outlets have introduced paywalls that require readers to actually pay for content — the New York Times, Washington Post and Financial Times are three of the biggest to do so successfully. But can smaller organizations make paywalls work too? Well, there is hope. Digital media companies have much larger audiences than they did a decade ago, and successful paywall models by the NYT and co. show that consumer habits are changing, i.e. people are willing to pay for news again.Alexis C. Madrigal, The AtlanticDemise of Sports IllustratedMagazines played a huge role in me growing up to have my very own newsletter, as I’m sure they did for others, so it’s disheartening to see the industry being decimated in very public ways. First published in 1954, Sports Illustrated became a weekly staple for US sports fans, providing inside access to their favorite teams and players that social media and podcasts do today. SI’s role in pop culture has been crushed — why spend $5.99 when you can listen and scroll for free? Even the infamous Swimsuit edition has been made redundant due to, well, online porn. I’m not sure what happens to SI in the future — the title is currently up for sale for the second time in as many years — but whatever happens, the magazine will have a place in sports culture history forever. Michael MacCambridge for The RingerThe Guardian Shows There’s Another WayAn alternative to the paywall and advertising is the donation-based model. Without shamefully plugging my own employer, the Guardian has proven that a large news organization can be sustainable while keeping content completely free. In November of last year, the Guardian reached 1 million supporters in just three years from more than 180 countries around the world. Also, donation platforms such as Patreon allow readers to support independent journalists to cover underreported topics. So, while parts of the industry will inevitably continue to downsize, there’s definitely light at the end of what has been a dark, dark tunnel for journalism.Pablo Gutierrez, The GuardianThe Return of TrueHoopTrueHoop is a basketball blog that started in 2005 and was quickly acquired by ESPN in 2007. It was known for its compelling deep dives around the NBA, and its contributors included giants such as Brian Windhorst, J.A. Adande and David Thorpe. After a two-year hiatus, Abbott and TrueHoop have relaunched as a newsletter on Substack, the very platform you’re reading this newsletter on. Its first series was an investigation on Brooklyn Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov.Henry Abbott, TrueHoopThe Latest at ESPNRichard and I talked about why the likes of Bill Simmons, Jemele Hill and Adnan Virk — some of ESPN’s most high-profile names — have left the company in recent years. This comes as part of an overall cost reduction strategy by the company, which was behind the ‘Great Purge’ of talent in 2017. The below link will take you to Richard’s own podcast where he spent more than an hour discussing where ESPN finds itself in this changing media landscape and what its future looks like.Richard Deitsch, Sports Media podcastRelated Inside The Newsroom PodcastsEpisode #28 — Jonah Keri of The AthleticEpisode # 26 — Jacob Bogage of The Washington PostNext up on the podcast: Sam Biddle of The Intercept Get on the email list at insidethenewsroom.substack.com

MADRIGAL，他同时也是热爱看这些动画儿歌的孩子的父亲，走访了CHU CHU TV在印度南方孟加拉湾畔金奈的总部，会见了CHU CHU TV的 CEO vinoth Chandar。 新潮流？带宠物狗到办公室帮助减压 Danielle Nerman/CBC 过劳、工作压力过大是现代社会办公室工作人员抱怨的一个主要问题。加拿大卡尔加里市一些公司推出了准许员工带宠物狗到办公室上班的政策，这似乎起到了让员工们放松、减少压力、提高工作效率的作用。加拿大广播公司报道了卡尔加里市高科技公司Benevity在十年前创立时就开始实行雇员可以带宠物狗和宠物猫上班的政策所带来的积极效果。 开心做研究, 懒得评职称：加拿大诺贝尔物理奖得主斯特里克兰 (University of Waterloo) 加拿大滑铁卢大学的教授、59岁的唐娜. 斯特里克兰（Donna Strickland）和另外两位物理学家（Arthur Ashkin 和Gérard Mourou）一起获得了今年的诺贝尔物理学奖，她成为迄今为止全世界第三位获得这个奖项的女性。说起获得诺贝尔奖的科学家，大多数人脑海里会出现一个勤奋刻苦的形象，如果是女性，很可能还要牺牲家庭生活。但是斯特里克兰获奖后在接受采访时总是说激光研究多么好玩儿，她的工作让她有多开心，以至于有人好意劝她为形象起见不要老是这么形容她的工作。但是她在接受CBC采访时说，她不知道还能怎么说。她就是干得很开心嘛，进了实验室就高兴，被别的事情拖住了去不了就觉得耽误了一个什么测试。 -- 刚才我们介绍了本周所作的几个报道，今天的节目就到这里，谢谢您的收听，希望听到您的看法和建议。 祝您周末愉快！ 收听CH_Report_2-20181012-WRC20 一周图片报道 window.jQuery || document.write('

Alexis C. Madrigal is an editor-at-large for Fusion, where he’s producing the upcoming podcast, Containers. “Sometimes you think like, 'Man the media business is the worst. This is so hard.' When you spend time with all these other business people, you probably are going to say, ‘Capitalism is the worst. This is hard.’ Competition that’s linked to global things is so hard because global companies are locked in this incredible efficiency battle that just drives all of the slack out of the system. Like media, there’s no slack left, and I don’t know where things go after that.” Thanks to MailChimp, Stamps.com, and Casper for sponsoring this week's episode. @alexismadrigal alexismadrigal.com Madrigal on Longform [00:00] Longform Podcast Survey [03:00] Madrigal’s Archive at The Atlantic [03:45] Consumer Conspicuous [05:00] Ross Andersen on the Longform Podcast [05:30] "First-Gen T.
