As reported by E&P in May of 2023 (“Ghost papers: Journalists find themselves alone or with just a few left in the newsroom”), UNC's Hussman School of Journalism and Media's Knight Chair in Journalism and Digital Media Economics, Penelope Muse Abernathy stated, “Although the exact number is hard to pin down, we estimate, based on news accounts and industry data, at least 1,000 of the 7,200 newspapers still published in this country — and perhaps as many as 1,500 — have lost significantly more than half of their newsroom staff since 2004. As a result, they have become ‘ghost newspapers' with drastically curtailed reach and journalistic missions.” The article mentioned Abdulla Gaafarelkhalifa, who became the last remaining journalist at the St. Cloud (MN) Times, a Gannett-owned news brand that has served this city of nearly 70,000 since 1924. Gaafarelkhalifa told E&P that he found the responsibility and demands of his job as the last employee to be so overwhelming that it took a toll on his physical and mental health. So he publicly announced that he'd be taking some time off from the job — not to shame his employer, but to be transparent with the public about his leave. E&P has also reported on other communities that have suffered from downsized Gannett newsrooms, like Hutchinson, KS, a city of over 40,000 that had the family-owned, Pulitzer Prize-winning Hutchinson Newsfor years. Gannett bought the newspaper from the Harris family in 2016 and laid off most of the news staff, creating such a void that a local high-school junior, Michael Glenn, became frustrated with their coverage. In 2023, Glenn recruited a team of journalists and started the competing Hutchinson Tribune, where some days he out-reports the Gannett property ten to one on local stories. However, things at Gannett seemed to be changing recently, with more and more announcements of local reporters, managers and sales reps hired at the United States' largest media company. On this episode of “E&P Reports,” we get the inside story on Gannett Media's major hiring frenzy from their chief content officer, Kristin Roberts, and chief revenue officer, Jason Taylor. We learn about what is being called their “turnaround plan,” which has created hundreds of new local news media industry jobs in dozens of their markets across the U.S. Both Taylor and Roberts directly address the negative reporting that has been pointed at this media empire and how they are both bullish on the company's plans to continue serving their readers and advertisers.

To make this unprecedented program, producer Ned Sublette traveled to Mbanza-Kongo, the ancient seat of the Kongo empire located in present-day northern Angola, where he spoke to Dr. Bárbaro Martínez Ruiz, professor of art and art history at Stanford. We'll learn about the simbi, the spirits that Martínez Ruiz describes as “the multiple power of god”; hear Antonio Madiata play the lungoyi-ngoyi, the two-stringed viola of the Kongo court; attend a session of the lumbu, the traditional tribunal of elders; and talk to Pedro Lopes, a nganga mawuko (traditional healer). With C. Daniel Dawson and Angolan composer and musicologist Victor Gama, we'll explore Kongo-Ngola culture in the diaspora – in Brasil, Haiti, Cuba, and more. A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY TO MBANZA-KONGO is supported by a 2012 Knight Luce Fellowship for Reporting on Global Religion. The fellowship is a program of the University of Southern California's Knight Chair in Media and Religion. APWW #651 Originally produced by Ned Sublette in 2012

This month, the Florida Board of Medicine voted to ban gender-affirming care for many transgender youth. The ban prevents minors who were not already receiving care from beginning treatment such as hormones or puberty blockers. It's the first such rule from a state medical board, but it may not be the last. The rule flies in the face of scientifically-backed guidelines established over years by The World Professional Association for Transgender Health and recommendations from accredited medical groups such as the American Medical Association. Physicians who study or provide gender-affirming healthcare have noted the ban is based on flawed research and misinterpretation, and influenced by disinformation narratives pushed by the right-wing. And this disinformation has seeped into all facets of the public discourse about transgender care and identity. We speak with Dr. Meredithe McNamara, an adolescent medicine physician and assistant professor of pediatrics at the Yale School of Medicine, who testified against the Florida ban at a recent public meeting; and Alberto Cairo, the Knight Chair in Visual Journalism at the University of Miami in Florida, and whose son has been diagnosed with gender dysphoria.  

Open discussion about mental health issues has lost a lot of the stigma it used to have in years gone by. But one aspect of mental health that we don't hear a lot about is the impact on children growing up with parents struggling with mental health issues, diagnosed or otherwise. Luckily we have organisations such as Kookaburra Kids to cater for the needs of these children. I spoke to board chair Patricia Reid and board director Lee Knight on the podcast and found out about the fantastic work they are doing with their team of paid and volunteer staff throughout Australia. While they shared some disturbing statistics, such as 23% of Australian children living in families impacted by mental illness, amounting to 644,000 children in the 8-18 age group alone, they also gave good cause for an optimistic outlook, sharing the strategies and programs they are implementing throughout the country. It was an uplifting discussion and gave a lot of food for thought about the unsung heroes who are working behind the scenes helping the next generation become more resilient.

On June 29th, 2022, the Local News Initiative at The Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications of Northwestern University released their latest study, “The State of Local News 2022, Expanding News Deserts, Growing Gaps, Emerging Models.”  The primary author of the report is Penelope Muse Abernathy, who is nationally known for her “news deserts” research and acts as visiting professor at Northwestern and has served as Knight Chair in Journalism at the University of North Carolina. Abernathy has also held executive positions with The New York Times and Wall Street Journal. The study confirms that U.S. newspapers rapidly continue to close at an average rate of more than two a week, with the country losing more than one-fourth since 2005 as of publication date leaving only 6,377 surviving papers with 1,230 reported as dailies and 5,147 as weeklies.  Moreover, the study states that this loss of local journalism has been accompanied by the “malignant spread of misinformation and disinformation, political polarization, eroding trust in media, and a yawning digital and economic divide among citizens.”  And when a local news source dies, so does voter participation while corruption in both government and business rise along with taxes. In this 145th episode of E&P Reports, we have an insightful dialogue with Penelope (Penny) Muse Abernathy, visiting professor at Northwestern University Medill School of Journalism and Tim Franklin, Senior Associate Dean, Professor and John M. Mutz Chair in Local News, about the Local News Initiative's latest study on the “State of Local News 2022." It reveals that U.S. newspapers continue to close down rapidly, creating "news deserts" that become fertile ground for the growth of misinformation, government corruption and lack of voter participation.

Journalism has radically changed because of the internet, social media and big data. We have already seen conspiracy theories propagated through Facebook, new age therapies suggested to deal with the COVID crisis, and, of course, several sources of information that cannot be controlled by governments and have been the fuel of democracy movements. Our guest will be the two-time Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Dana Priest. Dana has been with the Washington Post for over 30 years and is now the Knight Chair in Public Affairs Journalism at the Philip Merrill College of Journalism at the University of Maryland. Dana Priest has significant insights into how the digital transformation of journalism is already creating challenges and will continue to impact humanity in the future, not necessarily in a good way, unless we can find technical solutions and policies to manage it.

New Podcast Episode: I'm not a big fan of reality TV, but the “TrumpWorld family” would make a great storyline. In just this month the keywords are: Supreme Court, White House records, lower court rulings, Capitol insurrection, executive privilege, witch hunt, seizure of voting machines, Ivanka... and of course, what story would be without a good protagonist… Attorney General of New York, Letitia James! My forecast is it's all worth a good 3-season, 13-episode run on Amazon Prime or Netflix. Shout out to Howard University's Knight Chair in Race and Journalism and Pulitzer Prize Winner, Nikole Hannah-Jones. Her delivery of a speech at the Union League Club of Chicago commemorating MLK was nothing short of brilliant. A masterful literary quilt woven from quoted excerpts of his actual speeches – but not the usual ‘I have a Dream' and ‘Let's all join hands in harmony' lines selected over time to appease white palates. Hannah-Jones substituted the word ‘Negro' for ‘Black' and did not reveal the original author until the end. She cast a chilling reminder on abusive words like ‘traitor, charlatan and demagogue' hurled at him at the time. Uncomfortable audience - yes. Hypocrisy points made…you betcha! If China is a sworn enemy of this country, then why do we trade to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars? Listen to the podcast for more…

Dan and Ellen also look at a collaborative effort to fight corruption in South Carolina, and the vibrant Boston Phoenix archives that have been digitized by Northeastern University. 

Penelope (Penny) Muse Abernathy, a visiting professor at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, arguably launched a movement with her path-breaking research on "news deserts" and the forces undermining community newspapers across the nation. Abernathy, a former executive with The New York Times and Wall Street Journal, was also Knight Chair in Journalism and Digital Media Economics at the University of North Carolina from 2008 to 2020. She talks about why this is a pivotal moment for community journalism, about her forthcoming research and about why her journalism students are still bullish on speaking truth to power at the local level.

Interweaving 18 essays with 36 works of fiction and nonfiction by a group of writers of diverse backgrounds, skills, and experiences, The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story is a greatly expanded exploration of the continuing legacy of slavery in our cultural, political, and legal institutions. (recorded 11/17/2021)

Nikole Hannah-Jones, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter covering racial injustice for The New York Times Magazine, creator of the 1619 Project, now a book, The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story (One World, 2021), and Knight Chair in Race and Journalism at Howard University, talks about the book based on the New York Times 1619 Project, why it's become a hot-button issue, and where we go from here.

The New York Times' 1619 Project is now a book with expanded essays. Its centering of slavery in the American history narrative has generated controversy. On Today's Show: Nikole Hannah-Jones, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter covering racial injustice for The New York Times Magazine, creator of the 1619 Project, now a book, The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story (One World, 2021), and Knight Chair in Race and Journalism at Howard University, talks about the book based on the New York Times 1619 Project, why it's become a hot-button issue, and where we go from here.

Good morning, RVA! It's 66 °F, and highs today should stick around in the upper 80s. Honestly, looks like a pretty pleasant day ahead of us! NBC12's Andrew Freiden says a cold front will come through tomorrow, setting us up for some excellent Thursday weather. Get excited!Water coolerThe Richmond Times-Dispatch's Kenya Hunter has the update from last night's RPS School Board meeting during which they…actually, I'm still kind of confused on what they decided to do. It sounds like the Board (well, the same five-member voting bloc of boardmembers) has now required Superintendent Kamras to issue an RFP for the design of a school to replace George Wythe High School by the end of August, despite RPS not having the staff hired to do so until October. If you're a resident of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th Districts, your school board rep is part of the voting bloc that refuses to compromise, continues to delay action, and sets unrealistic goals for the school district and its staff. It's embarrassing and doesn't give me a whole lot of hope for the next three years of this Board's tenure. If you'd like to drop your rep an email, you can find all of their contact information here. Honestly though, they're so dug in at this point I'm not sure what you'd say to change any minds. Maybe it's worth copying your councilmember and taking a screenshot of your email to post publicly on social media? I dunno, like I said, I've got a real dark feeling of hopelessness.City Council's Land Use, Housing and Transportation committee meets today with a packed and interesting agenda. Up first, they'll, once again, consider the Richmond 300 amendment resolution (RES. 2021-R026). I wish this resolution would take its jumbled list of inappropriate and conflicting changes to our award-winning master plan and just go away. Second, Councilmember Jones has introduced RES. 2021-R043, which asks the CAO to prepare “an affordable housing plan for each Council District that distributes as equally as possible affordable housing options across the Council District.” I think this is an interesting resolution! From the background section of the paper: “As detailed in the Affordable Housing Plan and Biennial Real Estate Strategy approved by Council, there are 76 [city-owned] parcels dedicated to affordable housing. However, a majority of the parcels are concentrated in the 6th District.” 31 parcels, in fact, are in the 6th—16 more than in any other district. This is probably the result of a million things: Land and housing values, zoning, the incredibly successfully efforts to prevent dense and new housing by folks in the more affluent parts of our city, racism. It is, of course, harder and more expensive to create affordable housing in the 1st District than it is in the 6th District exactly because of all of those things. However, I like how the summary section of this paper frames it: Each district bears a responsibility to address the affordable housing crisis. That'll mean different strategies in the 1st than in the 7th, but it's our responsibility to figure out those strategies. Finally, if you still don't believe there's an affordable housing crisis, tune in to today's meeting to catch a presentation from Javon Burton, Director of Implementation for the Partnership of Housing Affordability. Across our entire region—in Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield, and Hanover—rent increases have outpaced income increases, and 32% of households are cost-burdened. Think about that next time you hear councilmembers and public commenters wringing their hands about building 10-story buildings on literal Broad Street.The City kicked off the public engagement process for their Draft Shockoe Small Area Plan yesterday. You can download the 213-page document here, but don't be deterred by page count alone! The Department of Planning and Development Review has gotten pretty good at making readable PDFs over the last couple of years, this one included. You'll see a lot of Richmond 300 vibes once you start scrolling through the document. I haven't read through the whole thing yet, but it'd be huge to add that amount of public green space to what's basically a broiling asphalt desert (p. 30). Also, apropos of the previous paragraph, check out page 27 for the extreme lack of affordable housing within this plan's study area (and within a 10-minute walk from the two nearby Pulse stations).

But here we are! You can read through the full list of the Governor's appointments in this release over on his website. The Governor also appointed members to the Cannabis Equity Reinvestment Board and the Cannabis Public Health Advisory Board.This morning's longreadNikole Hannah-Jones Issues Statement on Decision to Decline Tenure Offer at University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and to Accept Knight Chair Appointment at Howard UniversityThe whole Nikole Hannah-Jones tenure situation went down while I was on vacation, so maybe it's old news. That said, her statement is still worth reading.How could I believe I'd be able to exert academic freedom with the school's largest donor so willing to disparage me publicly and attempt to pull the strings behind the scenes? Why would I want to teach at a university whose top leadership chose to remain silent, to refuse transparency, to fail to publicly advocate that I be treated like every other Knight Chair before me? Or for a university overseen by a board that would so callously put politics over what is best for the university that we all love? These times demand courage, and those who have held the most power in this situation have exhibited the least of it.If you'd like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol' Patreon.Picture of the Day

Tuesday on Political Rewind: Voting rights experts are assessing the impact of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in an Arizona voting case. The July 1 decision will make it harder to challenge new voter rules put in place by Republican lawmakers following the 2020 election. Advocates also worry the decision will further weaken federal laws designed to protect the rights of minority voters. What might that mean for the many challenges to Georgia's new election law? Also, award-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones announced she would not be taking a tenured position at University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill following a drawn-out, contentious hiring process. Instead, the New York Times journalist will be the inaugural Knight Chair in Race and Journalism at Howard University's School of Communications Meanwhile, sharing a rally stage in Ohio with former President Donald Trump over the weekend, Georgia U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene launched a grievance-filled rant calling for the firing of Anthony Fauci, encouraging the crowd's chant to ‘lock him up.' She also called New York U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a 'little communist.' How far will her strident attacks carry her with the far-right base?

LINDSAY GRACE is Knight Chair in Interactive Media and an associate professor at the University of Miami School of Communication. He joins us to chat about GAMES AND ACADEMIA, games with SOCIAL IMPACT, and the BLACK EXPERIENCE in game development.

When it comes to turning our passion for video games into a job, the key is to look for what we are excited about, what we are good at, and being flexible and open to new challenges. For example, some of Lindsay Grace's students started in Localization translating Nintendo games into Japanese and then moved into game design. He believes that having flexibility affords longevity in the gaming industry. Today Marc welcomes Lindsay Grace; is Knight Chair in Interactive Media and an associate professor at the University of Miami School of Communication. Lindsay is the author of 'Doing Things with Games' and the 2019 recipient of the Games for Change Vanguard award. He has received multiple awards for his work, including the Games for Change Festival, the Digital Diversity Network, the Association of Computing Machinery's digital arts community, and Black Enterprise, to name a few. We talked about Lindsay's passion for video games, his humble origins, and his incredible connection with IBM charity programs. He spoke about how he started designing video games when he was 10 and how his parents influenced him. We also talked about equality in gaming and his consistent work in representativity and inclusion in the industry.

Do you know what “flatten the curve” means? If so it's likely in part due to the hard work by data visualization designers over the last year. Our society is now more data driven than ever; as everything is quantified, counted, and dumped into spreadsheets, and it's easy to be overwhelmed by numbers. Data visualization designers work to sort through the numbers using both science and creativity to find the stories they have to tell, and help us understand the world a little better. But what goes into designing an effective data visualization, and how do you balance the art and the science of it? In this episode of Wireframe, host Khoi Vinh, and producers Dominic Girard and Pippa Johnstone, learn how designers are building charts, games, and more to take the numb out of numbers.If you've been fighting over housework during lock down, you're not alone. Designer Amy Cesal and her husband, Zander Furnas used data visualization to clean up the messy business of their own household chores, and made the invisible, visible, along the way. Shirley Wu, worried that people weren't taking the pandemic seriously enough. Her data visualization game, People of the Pandemic, helps us understand the consequences of defying stay at home orders. And Alberto Cairo outlines the responsibilities data visualization designers must balance when designing with data. He's the author of How Charts Lie, and the Knight Chair in Visual Journalism at the School of Communication of the University of Miami.The New York Times visualization we referenced is here. The Washington Post's most read article is a data visualization that you can see here. Listen to NASA's X-ray sonification here, the sonification of American COVID deaths here, and Jordan Wirfs-Brock's sonification of last year's stock market volatility here (it happens at 4:18). Find a transcript to this episode here.

To many mathematicians and math enthusiasts, the word "innumeracy" brings to mind popular writing like that of John Allen Paulos. But inequities in our quantitative reasoning skills have received considerable interest and attention from researchers lately, including in psychology, development, education, and public health. Innumeracy in the Wild: Misunderstanding and Misusing Numbers (Oxford University Press, 2020) is a unified treatment of these broad-ranging studies, from the ways more and less numerate people differ in our perceptions of risk and our number-based decisions to the roots of our numeric faculties and how we can make the best of them. Dr. Ellen Peters has made significant contributions to the subject and brings her expertise and an exceptional clarity to its presentation. Precious little of the research surveyed in her book could fit into this interview! We discussed the three components of numeric ability—objective numeracy, subjective numeracy, and the innate number sense—and how they vary within and across populations. We talked through some key lessons from this literature, such as the importance of calibrating our self-efficacy to our real ability and an awareness of how our cultural allegiances can drive even our mathematical reasoning. And we identified some of the essential personal habits and policy levers (early childhood education!!) available to us in our efforts to improve our individual numeracy and our collective numeric decision-making. For a firm grounding in the state of knowledge and urgent open questions, there may be no better resource for many years to come.

En este episodio platico con Alberto Cairo, Knight Chair in Visual Journalism por la Universidad de Miami y autor de "How Charts Lie" y "The Truthful Art". Durante la plática, hablamos de las verdades y mentiras que pueden representar los gráficos, de cómo ellos pueden ser utilizados para difundir fake news y de lo que se necesita para tener una sociedad con mayores aptitudes para identificar la veracidad de las historias que consumimos.Cairo recuerda que los contenidos más vistos del New York Times y El País durante la pandemia consistieron en trabajos gráficos. En la conversación, Cairo y yo hablamos sobre lo complejo que resulta encontrar el punto medio para que el trabajo cumpla desde el aspecto gráfico, pero también contenga la información necesaria para que la audiencia se lleve una historia lo más contextualizada posible de aquello que está consumiendo.

Today we're discussing how Nikole Hannah-Jones got done dirty by UNC-Chapel Hill.  In a definitely political move, UNC announced the Knight Chair recipient would not get automatic tenure, as was previously routine, but would have a five-year contract that would consider tenure after that point. Given the controversy around Hannah-Jones' 1619 Project and what we learn about the conservative agenda of North Carolina's board of governors (heyyyy, Art Pope) and broader movements to influence what happens on college campuses (heyyyy, Koch brothers). This is definitely some white-people-fuckery. 

This episode we speak with Lindsay Grace about love and affection in games. Lindsay is Knight Chair in Interactive Media and an associate professor at the University of Miami School of Communication. He is Vice President for the Higher Education Video Game Alliance and the 2019 recipient of the Games for Change Vanguard award. Lindsay's book, Doing Things with Games, Social Impact through Design, is a well-received guide to game design. In 2020, he edited and authored Love and Electronic Affection: a Design Primer on designing love and affection in games. “Keywords in Play” is an interview series about game research supported by Critical Distance and the Digital Games Research Association. As a joint venture, “Keywords in Play” expands Critical Distance's commitment to innovative writing and research about games while using a conversational style to bring new and diverse scholarship to a wider audience. Our goal is to highlight the work of graduate students, early career researchers and scholars from under-represented groups, backgrounds and regions. The primary inspiration comes from sociologist and critic Raymond Williams. In the Preface to his book Keywords: a vocabulary of culture and society, Williams envisaged not a static dictionary but an interactive document, encouraging readers to populate blank pages with their own keywords, notes and amendments. “Keywords in Play” follows Williams in affirming that “The significance is in the selection”, and works towards diversifying the critical terms with which we describe games and game culture.
