This week on CounterSpin: Climate disruption is the prime mover of a cascade of interrelated crises. We're told that, when it comes to problems people need solved, rule number 1 is “follow the money.” Yet even as elite media talk about the climate crisis, they still … can't … quite …connect images of floods or fires to the triumphant shareholder meetings of the fossil fuel companies. Narrating the nightmare is not enough. We'll talk about the latest research on climate coverage with Evlondo Cooper, senior writer at Media Matters. Part of what FAIR's been saying since our start in 1986 — when it was a fringe idea, that meant you were either alarmist or benighted or both — is that there is an inescapable conflict between media as a business and journalism as a public service. For a while, it was mainly about “fear and favor” — the ways corporate owners and sponsors influence the content of coverage. It's more bare-knuckled now: Mass layoffs and takeovers force us to see how your local newspaper is really just an “asset” in a megacorporation's portfolio, and will be treated that way — with zero evidence that a source of vital news and information is any different from a soap factory. Rick Goldsmith's new film is called Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink. We'll hear from him about the film and the change it hopes to part of. Plus Janine Jackson takes a quick look back at recent coverage of Israel's flour massacre.   The post Evlondo Cooper on Climate Coverage / Rick Goldsmith on Stripped for Parts appeared first on KPFA.

Journalism in America was a highly profitable business for more than a century until the internet – and other factors – disrupted the traditional business model resulting in decades of declining advertising and subscription revenue. Last week, the Los Angeles Times cut about 20 percent of its staff, adding to a growing list of news organizations making cuts in the past few months: The Washington Post, Business Insider, Sports Illustrated and NBC News. Meanwhile, hedge funds and private equity firms buying up newspapers has also changed the industry – a trend Bay Area filmmaker Rick Goldsmith examines in his new documentary, “Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink.” We'll talk about the demise of local newspapers, efforts to revive the news business, and what it means for democracy. Guests: Rick Goldsmith, documentary filmmaker; director, "Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink" (2023), "Tell the Truth and Run: George Seldes and the American Press" (1996) and "The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers" (2009) Julie Reynolds, freelance journalist; producer, Gray Area - a podcast about justice and redemption; part-time associate editor, The Imprint S. Mitra Kalita, CEO, URL Media - a network of Black and Brown community news outlets that share content and revenue; publisher, Epicenter-NYC; veteran journalist; media executive; prolific commentator and author Ramona Giwargis, co-founder and CEO, San Jose Spotlight

Rick Goldsmith's website: New Day Films states that his mission as a filmmaker is to “tell stories that encourage social engagement and active participation in community life and the democratic process, and to stimulate young minds to question the world around them.” And when one watches his latest work: “Stripped for Parts: American Journalism at the Crossroads,” a 90-minute documentary that tells the tale of how hedge fund Alden Global Capital's entry into the news publishing industry has dismantled local newspapers “piece by piece,” creating a crises within the communities they serve, leaving “news deserts” and “ghost papers” in their wake. A posted synopsis about the film by Goldsmith, states “Ours is a cautionary tale: What is lost when billionaires with no background nor interest in a civic mission, who are only concerned with profiteering, take over our most influential news organizations? What new models of news gathering, and dissemination show promise for our increasingly digital age? What can the public do to preserve and support vibrant journalism? Stripped for Parts addresses these questions and more. “Democracy dies in darkness” and the stakes could not be higher.” In this episode of “E&P Reports,” we go one-on-one with twice Emmy nominated, documentarian Rick Goldsmith to learn why he spent more than 2-years creating his latest work: “Stripped for Parts “a film that tells the tale of how newspapers business model is faltering, not just because of the loss of advertising and digital disruption; but also to capitalist greed, as hedge funds and corporate America buy them, sell their assets and leave the communities they serve without their local “voice” and a final check on power.

From USA Today Sports and the by line of Rachel Axon,  COLUMBIA, S.C. — For years, basketball was an escape for Chamique Holdsclaw. The more time she spent on the court working toward her goals of being a top WNBA draft pick and being the first woman to have major endorsement deals meant less time to focus on the mental health issues that she’d dealt with throughout her life. Years after her retirement, Holdsclaw finds the game that gave her an escape has given her a platform. Since the 2015 release of the documentary Mind/Game: The Unquiet Journey of Chamique Holdsclaw directed by Rick Goldsmith, the six-time WNBA all-star has been sharing her story of confronting mental illness. Today, I talk to her about about her passion in the space of mental illness and the people she has since helped. --- John Register, Paralympic Long Jump Silver Medalist | Inspirational Catalyst | Change Management Speaker | Author | Long Jump Record Holder | Gulf War Vet | Disability Rights Advocate | and 2 x TEDx Speaker. He shows business leaders how to hurdle adversity and create the new normal to increase bottom line performance.

Former New York City basketball legend and University of Tennessee star, Chamique Holdsclaw, along with two time Academy-Award nominated filmmaker, Rick Goldsmith, discuss "Mind/Game" the new documentary about her battle with mental illness. In a typically in-depth conversation with Bill and Jamal, Chamique talks about her often dark and lonely battle with mental illness. Chamique talks about the difficulty of dealing with mental illness in the highly competitive sports culture, where vulnerability is taken as a sign of weakness. She tried to mask her condition until her world finally caved in. This is a fascinating conversation with a courageous human being about an important issue. This and more on the latest edition of Bill Rhoden On Sports.
