I am very honored to be calling Aela Callan as my first guest on the second season of my podcast RAT.HUB. Aela is an award-winning journalist and filmmaker, she worked as a foreign correspondent at Al Jazeera and produced documentaries for Al Jazeera's 101 East program. She was selected for a prestigious John S. Knight fellowship for journalism innovation at Stanford University and a few years ago she started her own company called head set.  When I met Aela more than five years ago, we regularly discussed how virtual reality is going to change journalism and how it can help tell better stories. How times have changed. I remember Aela always went to all the international conferences to see the latest and best VR experiences and she's had a very clear understanding of what immersive technologies can do for journalism. i am beyond excited to speak with her.      Some key takeaways: head set is an immersive technology company that offers virtual reality training for people who work in high-risk environments, e.g. journalists, humanitarians and diplomats. head set develops immersive scenarios that help prepare physically and emotionally for what happens when you are in the midst of a big story. She understands herself as a journalist first rather than an entrepreneur, so setting up a sales process has been something completely outside of her comfort zone. Aela underlines: "Journalists are on a 24/7 frontline now, whether it's physically covering unrest in the streets because of Covid protests which is very relevant to our scenario or on the frontlines of Twitter with the cyberbullying and harassment that goes on now. We have a culture of many different parties attacking the media." VR training sessions are different from traditional training sessions - "Journalists find it more realistic and more emotionally impactful than scenarios played out by actors." With regards to her company, she states "I don't think you ever finish product development." She tells us how she set up her company team and highlights "recruitment is difficult [...] Knowing what you need is half of the battle. But then being able to ask helps with attracting the right talent to your team and being able to keep them with interesting work and interesting projects." Some management tips for a digital-first company: during the pandemic, she has managed her team via zoom and slack regular stand-up meetings help - open for anyone on the team (even if it is not their specific topics being discussed) leave quietly at any time is possible every day of the week is devoted to something: product development day, dev days, co-founder meetings regular lunch roulettes  Friday open door coffee for non-work related subjects read-outs from every meeting with specific action items is imperative  As a manager, you want to be checking in, not checking up.

Today, Verde launches the first of a regular monthly episode series featuring resources and solutions to ensure people of color are more comfortable identifying as part of the outdoors communities. Verde is committed to strategically using our reach and the reach of our clients to welcome a more diverse participant base into the incredible outdoor community!  Today’s guest on the Channel Mastery podcast is Aaron Foley, who was named Director of the Black Media Initiative at the Newmark Graduate School of Journalism in June of 2020. The collective goal in his new role is to increase the potential for community media. This is defined as Black media, Latino media, Indigenous media, Asian media, and media that is geared towards immigrant communities. It can also include Jewish media, Muslim media, Catholic media, etc. Ensuring Black media outlets are more sustainable is also a top initiative in his role.  Prior to this position, Aaron was a Fellow at the John S. Knight Journalism Fellowships at Stanford University, where he served as one of 19 professionals selected for a 10-month residency at Stanford assigned to research and innovate solutions in Journalism. Aaron and his cohort worked on topics like: revenue streams from public entities to fund independent newsrooms; curbing spread of misinformation and disinformation among Black news consumers.  He’s also been a journalist, of course. He served as Chief Storyteller for the City of Detroit, a position that was a Mayoral appointment, a first for a city government in the U.S. And was Editor In Chief for BLAC Detroit Magazine. Aaron comes from a family that is deeply rooted in journalism, as his mother was a reporter, editor and photographer for the Michigan Chronicle, which is considered one of the oldest Black newspapers in the country. Through his work in his new role, he wants to ensure Black media outlets are more sustainable. He offers ways for brands and businesses to successfully reach broader audiences and also sheds light on how our specialty businesses can support black media outlets and enable more people of color to feel part of our outdoor communities through media.  Kristin is joined by a co-host today, one of her esteemed Verde Brand Communications colleagues, Alice Baker!  Alice has been a part of the Verde team for about three years and crushes it day in and day out leading her clients at the agency. Alice has stepped up to lead Verde’s commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Verde’s agency-wide goal is to strategically deploy its reach, and the reach of its clients, to enable more people of color to feel welcome in the outdoors. Once a month going forward, the Channel Mastery podcast will be dedicated to that commitment. Alice will be co-hosting these special episodes.  Without further ado, here’s the Aaron Foley interview on the Channel Mastery podcast! Let’s do this!      Aaron Foley is a journalist from Detroit who has had an extensive freelance career and was the city of Detroit’s first chief storyteller from 2017 to 2019. Before joining the Newmark J-School’s Center for Community Media (CCM) in June 2020 as the Black Media Initiative Director, he was a John S. Knight Journalism Fellow at Stanford University. His freelance work has appeared in BuzzFeed, The Atlantic, CNN, Forbes, The Root, Ebony, Columbia Journalism Review, New Michigan Media among other platforms. He also helped launch the successful digital news site MLive Detroit and was editor-in-chief of BLAC Detroit magazine, a publication covering black life, arts, and culture in metro Detroit. He is the author of How to Live in Detroit Without Being a Jackass (2015) and has an impressive public speaking record, including a Ted Talk. Foley describes himself as “a product of Black media.” His mother was an editor at the Michigan Chronicle, one of the oldest and last remaining Black newspapers in the country.

Knight Journalism (HAI-JSK) Fellow at Stanford, she studies how artificial intelligence is shaping the role of photography in society: particularly the rise of memes, which she refers to as “packets of culture.” Chen says mathematics is redefining photography as much as artistic vision, altering both consumer tastes and the creative eye of photographers who want to become – or remain – relevant in a rapidly changing world.Chen joins The Future of Everything host Russ Altman to discuss why artificial intelligence's influence on photography is only just in its infancy and why lovers of photography still have power to shape AI as much as it shapes us.

Design and journalism might seem like opposite fields, but technology has brought them closer together than ever before (especially over the past few years). How are journalists navigating this new landscape where news is now a designed experience? To gain some insight on this, I spoke with Michael Grant.

Michael an I talked about his current research work, and he shared what he's learned from working with HBCUs and his day-to-day work at the San Francisco Business Times.

After the horrific school shooting in Parkland, Florida, Delta Airlines was one of the many organizations that has reacted by changing their discount policies for NRA members. Then the Georgia politicians started getting involved, using tax incentives as part of their leverage. And now, other cities are making overtures to Delta: If you don't like what's happening in Atlanta, maybe we can work something out.  André Natta, recently of WBHM and Poynter, who is currently on a presitigious journalism fellowship at Stanford University, joins us to talk about it. New York City and Birmingham, Alabama are making eyes at Delta, but as Natta explains, there's more to it than just a few business flirtations. Give this episode a listen.

The news in 2017 is a cauldron of fake-news epithets, factionalized media and journalism under siege. This plays out against a background of continued disruption of the news media by economic, cultural, social and technological forces. Important democratic values are at stake, and those values are in very real danger. James Bettinger is director emeritus of the John S. Knight Journalism Fellowships at Stanford. Previously he worked for 20 years as a newspaper reporter, editorial writer and editor. At Stanford, he taught courses in opinion writing, feature and analytical writing, and literary journalism. He writes and consults on journalism issues, and is a member of numerous journalism organizations.

Frederic Fillloux is on the frontline when it comes to fighting fake news. A current John S. Knight fellow at Standford University, Filloux has developed a news analysis algorithm that rates the trustworthiness of digital stories. In this podcast, he takes us through the News Quality Scoring Project and why it's important.

According to our guest on this episode, much of the news industry is engaged in a battle they can’t win, a fight over eyeballs and ad revenue with companies like Google and Facebook, where the terms will get worse and worse as time goes by. The answer? Community. By building a community that values the work that they create, they can wrestle back some of the control over their audience and receive support directly from the people who consume and appreciate the product they are creating. Andrew Losowsky is the project lead of The Coral Project, a collaboration between Mozilla, The New York Times and The Washington Post, that is helping news organizations build better communities and more loyal readers through tools, research and strategy. Among our topics: Forcing a layer of community over traditional journalism vs. providing newsrooms with a cogent plan Why they are building Talk, an open source comments platform Are news organizations better served by hiring another reporter… or a community pro? Our Podcast is Made Possible By… If you enjoy our show, please know that it’s only possible with the generous support of our sponsor: Higher Logic. Big Quotes “[Forcing community on newsrooms] is saying to journalists that they have to spend time in the comments without actually giving them the tools or the training to be able to do so effectively. … It looks like saying, ‘You need to ask your readers for help’ or ‘You need to crowdsource this’ or ‘Why don’t you go and talk to people at this event or in these comments?,’ without actually giving any strategy or thought to it. What you end up with is journalists who are very resentful of having another task placed on top of them. A task where they don’t see the connection between their journalistic work and this community work that they’re being asked to do.” -@losowsky “If you don’t understand and have a real commitment to community as part of your journalistic mission, as part of the strategy of what you’re trying to achieve in the totality of the newsroom, not just within one corner of the it, then it will, ultimately, always fail. We’ve seen this repeatedly. For me, a little part of me dies when I see that happen because what we’re really missing is the kinds of connections that journalism needs, in order to survive.” -@losowsky “Community is not a choice. The choice is what you do with it.” -@patrickokeefe “Right now, so much of the news industry’s revenue model is based around advertising and creating clickbait in order to get the numbers that will then get enough eyeballs on the advertising. I think this is a really shortsighted strategy. … Over half, I think, of the online advertising money goes directly to Facebook and Google. This is not a battle that the news industry is going to win. The terms are going to get worse and worse as you move forward from that. It really is antithetical to community because what you’re saying is, ‘I want people to come here, and I don’t care where they come from.’ Versus trying to build a community who value what we’re doing and will pay for it.” -@losowsky “If somebody flags a thousand times, and you’ve only ever deleted two of the comments they’ve flagged, then the next time they flag, maybe you don’t bring it straight to the moderator’s attention until somebody, who is more reliable as a flagger, does flag it. Then on the other side of that, if somebody is really good at flagging, if they flag 100 times and 90% of the time they end up flagging something that you end up deleting, they’re as good as our moderators. If they flag something, maybe we should just pull it for the moderator to look at immediately and just not have it there in the stream.” -@losowsky “The [real name] issue really comes down to whether or not people will behave better because of real names or maybe they will behave worse. If a name sounds like the person might identify as a woman, that can really change and worsen peoples’ behavior towards them. If there’s no way of hiding, if there’s no way of being anonymous, then you could be encouraging a great homogeneity in your community as a result, or/and encouraging different kinds of harassment and abuse.” -@losowsky About Andrew Losowsky Andrew Losowsky is originally from the UK and, since the age of 18, has lived in Hong Kong, Spain and now the U.S. In 2003, he became the editorial director of an indie Spanish editorial startup that built communities around original content. Andrew co-ran a biannual festival of independent publishing in Luxembourg, bringing together magazine makers from around the world. He has also been a John S. Knight Fellow at Stanford University and worked on product and editorial at News Corp and The Huffington Post. He co-created a pop-up magazine (created by a community of people stranded by a volcano), a community museum on a street, a printed time capsule, a human-sized board game about city development and a card game about community management. Andrew used to run an indie magazine subscription service and has written several books about design, print, visualizations and doorbells. He is currently the project lead at The Coral Project.
