Dan and Ellen talk with Neil Brown, a longtime journalist who is the president of the Poynter Institute. For listeners who might not know, the Poynter Institute is a nonprofit based in St. Petersburg, Florida, that is devoted to teaching best practices in journalism. It is named for Nelson Poynter, the bow-tie-wearing legend who led the St. Petersburg Times to national recognition. The paper is now known as the Tampa Bay Times. Poynter is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Dan has a Quick Take on President Trump's bouncing tariffs. They're on, they're off, they're on, they're off. But his gyrations are having real consequences. In central New York State, Trump's threats have killed a daily newspaper — and not just any paper. The Cortland Standard, one of the oldest family-owned papers in the country, folded in mid-March, as Trump's proposed 25% tariff on Canadian newsprint proved to be the last straw. Ellen's Quick Take comes from a tip from Jill Abramson, the former executive editor of the New York Times who is a distinguished professor of the practice here at Northeastern. Jeff Morrison, a journalist who is a member of the Iowa Writers' Collaborative, has compiled an incredible timeline of the decline of newspapers in Iowa. A highlight: The Storm Lake Times Pilot, a twice-weekly print paper featured in our book, "What Works in Community News," is dropping a print edition and going weekly.

The best podcast for military veterans, police officers, firefighters, and first responders preparing for veteran transition and life after service. Helping you plan and implement strategies to prepare for your transition into civilian life. In this episode, Rob Poynter, a former law enforcement officer, fitness professional shares his experiences and challenges of life after service. Rob takes us on a journey through his early life, growing up as the son of a homicide detective and witnessing firsthand the burdens carried by those in law enforcement. He opens up about the pull between his love for fitness and health, and the calling to serve—eventually leading him into a career as a deputy sheriff and motor officer. But everything changed after a devastating motorcycle accident left Rob with career-ending injuries. What followed was a personal battle with mental health, identity loss, and transition out of the only life he had known. Rob reflects on how quickly a law enforcement or military career can end and the deep sense of being "cut adrift" that follows. Rob shares how psychedelic therapy became a transformative part of his healing process—helping him confront childhood trauma, the cumulative weight of his first responder experiences, and the mental health struggles that many veterans and police officers silently endure.Rob's story is one of service, loss, rediscovery, and giving back. Today, he's focused on supporting others through volunteering and sharing lessons learned about resilience, career change, and post-service purpose. Whether you're a veteran, military member, law enforcement officer, or first responder facing your own transition, this conversation is a must-listen—a candid exploration of trauma, healing, and what it takes to build a meaningful life after service.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:IG: WEBSITE: LinkedIn: SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:EMAIL YOUR QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:CONNECT WITH ROB POYNTERSPONSORS:Brothers & Arms USAGet 20% off your purchaseLink: https://brothersandarms.comPromo Code: Transition20Trident CoffeeGet 15% off your purchaseLink: https://tridentcoffee.comPromo Code: TDP15Human Performance TRTGet 30% off your purchaseWeb: https://hptrt.com/Promo Code: TDP

As the presidential election heads into its final weeks, you're probably seeing a torrent of campaign ads, memes and political headlines on your social media. There's a lot of misinformation swirling around online too And after back to back hurricanes, misinformation is also spinning up around natural disasters- from how storms are formed to disaster recovery. When your social media feed is jammed with images and headlines about political candidates and storm victims- how can you tell what's real and what's fake? In about 10 minutes you'll hear from Alex Mehadevan, director of Mediawise at Poynter. He'll share tips on the impact of misinformation- and how to spot it. But first- Hurricane Milton made landfall nearly two weeks ago- and for some- the disaster isn't over.

Retail Association survey on brand nicknames -- Poynter research shows little change in news consumer habits
It's election season. And if you're a new voter, it may be intimidating trying to decipher the flood of campaign ads, figure out your ballot or even know who it is you are being asked to vote for. Two people paying close attention to elections are Tara Newsom and Alex Mahadevan. They sat down with WUSF's elections podcast: Our Changing State, Vote 2024 to talk about how young voters are navigating the election and how the media covers politics. Alex Mahadevan is the director of Mediawise at Poynter, which aims to empower people with media literacy skills to identify misinformation. As media organizations shrink and trust in the media slips, Mahadevan says people are turning away from legacy media organizations for their political news and information. “They're going to like an influencer on Tiktok who agrees with, like, how they feel about the world, and they're going to media platforms that kind of match their information consumption habits,” says Mahadevan. And Newsom, who is a professor of government and civic learning at St. Petersburg College has been talking with students about issues they think are important. “In this election they recognize that democracy, their reproductive freedoms, climate change, foreign policy's all on the ballot,” says Newsom.
In a media environment that is often dominated by narratives of decline, layoffs, and shrinking local news outlets, The Poynter Institute's newly released report offers a refreshing perspective. Titled “OnPoynt — Values Rising: Trends and Traction in Journalism and the News Industry,” the study showcases optimism and innovation in journalism despite well-known challenges. In this recent interview, Neil Brown, President of Poynter, shared insights on the report and how local journalism is evolving in ways that provide significant value to communities. The conversation highlighted the vitality of smaller, local news startups, alternative forms of content distribution, and the promise of AI.

Why did it seem like everyone in the media thought Biden's debate performance concerned democrats? And how does telling a good story get in the way of the truth? In this episode, Dr. Sturg goes over the cozy relationship between politicians and the journalists who cover and explains the narrative bias. It's a tendency to fit facts into a story, and this bias explains why early accounts of breaking news are often wrong. Link to the article from Poynter.

23 years ago, the US multi-millionaire Dennis Tito became the world's first-ever space tourist, funding his own trip into orbit. There was clearly money to be made, and now the lure of making space tourism more accessible to the masses is even greater - with several private companies jockeying for position. Jane Poynter's firm is among them.It's an industry experiencing dramatic growth – but the price of any of these trips is out of reach of most of us. We explore whether this firm could achieve its aim of launching more of us into stratospheric heights.And we hear how Jane went on her own journey: from ecologist working in the famous Biosphere 2 experiment in the early 1990s, to looking skywards and the possibilities of a career in space tourism.

More than 150 million people across Europe come to TikTok each month to express themselves, be entertained, start and grow a business or learn a new skill or hobby. #BookTok has become a literature phenomenon, encouraging a new generation to share their love of reading and helping authors to find new audiences, while #LearnonTikTok encourages our community to discover everything from local languages to ancient history. Today, April 2nd, TikTok is launching a feed dedicated to STEM, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, across Europe; to empower continued discovery on TikTok and connect a dynamic community of people over shared interests. Starting in Ireland and the UK today, users will be able to click on the STEM feed, alongside the For You feed, to open up a world of knowledge from respected experts in their field. The feed will feature English-speaking content with auto-translate subtitles, which will be fact-checked by two independent organisations. Creators and partners who share content around STEM subjects like @_captain_mark who is inspiring young people to run away to the sea and start a career as a mariner, Secondary School Teacher @teachwithtadgh, who posts live science sessions on his page, @scicommcollective_ire who show scientists promoting healthy habits, and @NewScientist magazine, taking us on a journey into Space, will be included in this new feed. This new feed follows the success of the STEM feed in the United States, which has seen science, technology, engineering, and mathematics content grown globally by 24% since the launch. Educational communities already thrive across TikTok. Almost 15 million STEM-related videos have been published globally in the last three years. To encourage young people to explore these subjects, people under 18 years old will have the STEM feed turned on by default, but can adjust their content settings in-app should they choose. And those 18 years and older looking for an enriching feed of content can opt into the STEM feed by going to their content settings in-app. Since the launch in the US, a third of teens have visited the STEM feed on a weekly basis. To help bring high-quality STEM content to the TikTok community, we're expanding our partnerships with Common Sense Networks and Poynter Institute to cover Europe. Common Sense Networks will assess all content to ensure it's appropriate for the STEM feed, and Poynter will assess the reliability of the information presented. If content does not pass both checkpoints, it will not be eligible for the STEM feed. Marlène Masure General Manager for Operations, TikTok EMEA, said "We believe discovery is essential to the TikTok experience, and we're always looking to help our community uncover new and relevant content through introducing new and exciting formats. We hope the launch of the STEM feed across Europe will inspire a new generation of engineers, mathematicians and Science enthusiasts!" Mark Maguire, aka @_captain_mark added " I use TikTok to show what life is like out on the sea, for what it really is. Many young people today understand the importance of our oceans and want to get involved, but they often don't know where to start. My hope is that by sharing my videos on TikTok, I can show them how exciting life as a mariner can be, what to expect, and why working on the water is such a rewarding and worthwhile career. It's not always easy, but no two days are the same - and that's what I love about it." See more stories here.

There are mutual obsessions between the news media who cover former President Donald Trump and Donald Trump and the news media. Both rely on the other and both benefit from the other. The news media makes money off covering Trump and Trump gets unending publicity from the news media, regardless of his activities or misstatements of facts. This unholy alliance is unhealthy for the true dissemination of news and for our democracy, according to Dr. Michael Bugeja, Distinguished Professor of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Iowa State University. While networks like Fox, MSNBC and CNN are singularly focused on Trump's every move, other news events no longer get covered, says Bugeja. Instead of news on national and international levels, we get a constant diet of analysis from all political viewpoints, he adds. Analysis and speculations on what might happen next have replaced hard news coverage of truly breaking events. We also are bereft of local news coverage in many parts of the country, leading to a true news void. As a result, people have migrated to their own media silos for opinions that match our own and the general public becomes more ignorant about true news and news events. Bugeja also notes that the news media are ill equipped to cover a possible autocracy if Trump gets elected in November 2024. In a recent article for Poynter, a think-tank for journalists, Bugeja said: “Tenets about impartiality and balance do not apply when covering autocracy. Journalists cannot hold a tyrant accountable by framing his viewpoint as one side of a partisan story.” Many experts, quoted by Bugeja, fear retribution towards journalist if Trump is re-elected and overt attacks being made on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. He strongly suggests that Americans need to prepare themselves to fight an autocracy by reading and understanding the powers within our Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

RARE MAMAS RISING- EPISODE 33 A Rare Adoption Story with Rare Mama Monica Poynter In honor of November National Adoption Awareness Month, guest Monica Poynter shares her incredible rare adoption story. Monica is a proud mother to her sons Tag and Trey and daughter Ophelia. Tag and Trey live with a rare bleeding disorder called hemophilia A, in which the blood does not clot properly. With no family history of the condition, their biological son Tag's diagnosis in 2014 came as a complete shock. Fast-forward to 2020, Monica and her husband Josh grew their family by adopting Trey from an orphanage in China after being inspired by a magazine story about another family who had done the same. The brothers became instantly inseparable, bonded by adoption and their shared condition. Now, the family has another exciting addition with the birth of their daughter, Ophelia. In this episode, Monica shares her family's story of adoption, her journey caring for children living with the same rare condition, and words of inspiration for fellow rare mamas! EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Tag's Hemophilia A diagnosis How Monica and Josh rose to the challenge of rare parenting The road to Trey's adoption Caring for two children with rare diseases Tag and Trey's bond Advice for families interested in adoption The addition of daughter Ophelia and life today Monica's best learnings for other rare mamas LINKS Kentucky Hemophilia Foundation https://www.kyhemo.org/index.php Hemophilia Federation of America https://www.hemophiliafed.org/ Hemlibra® https://www.hemlibra.com/ CONNECT WITH NIKKI Website https://raremamas.com/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/Rare_Mamas/ Email info@raremamas.com

Madonna justifies her love stayin alive with The Bee Gees. Two iconic songs meet and make love. r View the video on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4ghsvYUucM Listen on Soundcloud. Track 1 on Madonna's Mashed Potatoes 4: The Hottest Madonna Mashups. Available on Like A Muse: The Madonna Remixers Podcast. From the Madonna's Mashed Potatoes 4 Visualizer. Visualizer in high definition on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ryE0Oq8LX_M. Audio Podcast: https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/id/27641838. About Madonna's Mashed Potatoes The popular series curates the hottest Madonna mashups and collects them into expertly beat mixed DJ continuous episodes and also interviews remixers about their new mashups. Episodes 1-4 were all listed a “podcast worth a listen” on Player FM and charted in the top 100 on Apple Podcasts in countries around the world on every continent. Combined they have over 22,000 podcast streams/downloads since June, 2022. The visualizer for version 4 was produced and edited by Kerry Poynter over a three month period upon the release of the audio version in late February 2023. Artworks from Nurmemagi Designs are found throughout. The episode includes 17 mashups including 12 exclusive premieres from multiple producers including remixers from Madonna Remixers United (MRU). Each mashup in the new visualizer receives special attention as an original artistic creation and incorporates Madonna footage from the past 40 years of her celebratory career. Mashup Submission Guidelines for Version 5 of Madonna's Mashed Potatoes Remixers submitting new mashups for consideration and exclusive premiere will be given priority and opportunity to share a brief “look behind the remix” response interview. This brief recorded response will appear in the episode and bring attention to their body of work. Embedded links to their work will also appear in perpetuity in the show notes and sent to all apps and streaming services worldwide. Each exclusive premiere mashup will also be used in video promos with the remixer/producer receiving a copy for their own use. All mashups appear in a visualizer beat sync video. What is a Madonna Mashup? Usually this will consist of a mix that contains Madonna vocals and/or parts of the original production alongside and with the work of another artist or band. Some caution might be warranted for a production that is less Madonna and more another artist. This is a Madonna podcast mix after all. Ultimately, the executive producer, Kerry Poynter, will curate and choose the final track list, so the more "Madonna" in your mash the more likely you could make the final cut for the continuous DJ mix. Happy to respond to questions. Submission Guidelines: rHigh quality, nothing less than 320MP3, WAV preferred, 16 or 24 bit depth, 48 kHz sample rate.

“People who have been to space really do speak about it with great reverence. And it is for that reason that we want to take people to space in our car. Neutral zero emission spaceship, spaceship vacuum, which as you saw is not a rocket. Enormous balloons. It's a very gentle flight. We want to take leaders to space. We want to take artists to space. We want to have teachers go to space.” Jane Poynter at Earth Day Network's Climate Leadership Gala As Virgin Galactic takes another set of civilians into space, think about all the emissions they are adding to the very airspace they are celebrating. Space Perspective says they are doing similar space travel but without hurting the planet. Imagine how much energy those trips use. And, though they are also doing climate research up there, the capsules and rockets are not generally carbon neutral. Can they be? Listen to veteran space executive and former Biosphere 2 leader Jane Poynter, CEO and cofounder of Space Perspective describe how they are doing carbon neutral space travel in this extraordinary conversation with Electric Ladies host Joan Michelson conducted at the Earth Day Network Climate Leadership Gala (so there will be a lot of background sound). You'll hear: How Space Perspective is making space travel carbon neutral (from fuel to materials). Who is paying for it (and what it will cost you to take ride with them) The general carbon footprint of today's space shuttles and private companies' space travel. How her experience in Biosphere 2 led to Space Perspectives. Plus, insightful career advice, such as… “There are so many ways to make a difference, right?... I think at the end of the day, you have to be true to yourself and what is it that fires you up. And, and what is it that that does light that fire within you that you have to pursue, that you're driven to pursue, and then go pursue it. And, you know, sometimes it takes going in at a level that maybe you don't feel is your level. Maybe it's beneath you, but if you are trying to move into a slightly adjacent career, you have to do that. Cuz you have to work your way up sometimes. And it's also the best way to learn.” Jane Poynter on Electric Ladies Podcast Read Joan's Forbes articles here too.

It's that time of year when the Supreme Court issues a bunch of important decisions on high-profile cases before its summer recess. But it turns out there's a whole other docket of decisions that usually fly under the radar. It's called the emergency docket, or “shadow docket.” And the use of this lesser-known docket is changing the way the Supreme Court engages with wide-reaching, often divisive issues, and shaping law on the ground. “We’re seeing every big fight in contemporary American public policy getting to the Supreme Court faster through these emergency applications, and provoking the justices to take a position sooner because of these emergency applications,” said Stephen Vladeck, law professor at the University of Texas and author of the new book “The Shadow Docket: How the Supreme Court Uses Stealth Rulings to Amass Power and Undermine the Republic.” On the show today, Vladeck explains what the shadow docket is, why emergency decisions by the Supreme Court have become more common over the past decade, and what this all means for the credibility of the court in the eyes of the American public. In the News Fix: Speaking of the Supreme Court, we'll get into how its upcoming decision on affirmative action could muddle diversity efforts at colleges across the country. And we’ll explain why pharmaceutical companies are pushing back against the new Medicare drug price negotiation program. Later, listeners weigh in on local dog bars and virtual reality headsets. Plus, this week's answer to the Make Me Smart question comes from singer, songwriter and condiment lover, Priska Neely. Here’s everything we talked about today: “Book Review: ‘The Shadow Docket,' by Stephen Vladeck” from The New York Times “The Supreme Court and ‘The Shadow Docket'” from NPR “What you need to know about the Supreme Court's ‘shadow docket'” from Poynter “Justice Alito Calls Criticism of the Shadow Docket ‘Silly’ and ‘Misleading” from NPR “Merck sues US government to halt Medicare drug price negotiation” from Reuters “As Supreme Court considers affirmative action, colleges see few other ways to diversity goals” from AP News Priska Neely’s “Ode to Condiments” on YouTube We love to hear from you.
