“It's fair to call the deteriorating situation at the US/Mexican border a crisis,” declared NBC's Meet the Press in 2021. “[CNN anchor Dana] Bash presses Netanyahu on Gaza death toll: 'Is Israel doing everything possible to... avoid civilian casualties?',” boasted CNN's State of the Union in 2023. “Principle over party… The latest high-profile Republican endorsement for Harris. And she got another Cheney endorsement,” announced ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos. These shows – ABC's This Week, NBC's Meet the Press, CNN's State of the Union, CBS's Face the Nation – are fixtures of a major genre of television: the Sunday morning news show. Since the 1940s, these weekly shows have featured panel interviews with government officials, lawmakers, candidates, and other political figures, usually from the US, as part of their stated missions to “tackle pressing issues,” produce robust discourse on current events, and hold electeds and aspiring electeds accountable. A relic from a different era, these Sunday News Show still loom large today. No, they don't have particularly high ratings, but much like the role editorial boards of major newspapers play, they matter to people who matter. They shape the agenda and tell lawmakers, advisers, CEOs and other people who wield power across our political, economic and social systems what to care about that week and how to analyze the current moment. But to what extent do they serve any real journalistic function? To what extent do they actually ask difficult and challenging questions? Do the Sunday morning shows truly illuminate our political moments and interrogate the powerful, or essentially do the opposite? And what effect do these shows, known for “setting the agenda” in Washington, have on policymakers, news media, and the public? On this episode, we discuss the history, ideology, and effects of Sunday morning news shows, look at how—despite their lofty claims to challenging journalism—they prioritize and revel in prestige and access, flattering existing power structures and further enabling reactionary policy. Our guest is FAIR's Julie Hollar.

Here's why this is a good thing! And YES... for some reason my brain defaults to "Stenography" when I think of Steganography, in the same way my father used to always say "Bis-quit" instead of biscuit lol For steps on checking on this issue here is OpenAI's guidance: https://openai.com/index/memory-and-new-controls-for-chatgpt/

Shaunise is joined by Jack Janowicz, CA CSR, also known as Jack the Stenographer. 

The average words per minute (wpm) a person can type out on a phone is around 35 words. This is slightly higher for computers with an average of around 40-45 wpm.  Stenographers can produce up to an incredible 360 wpm, keeping up with conversation in real time. However the skillset requiring this is tedious and expensive to employ; resulting in outsourcing and automation of transcription. Director of Mercury Transcripts Katherine O'Brien spoke to Sofia about how stenography works and about being one of the last four stenographers in all of Aotearoa.

Well, you're in luck. Kendra is an Official Court Reporter, also known as a stenographer. We hear about her experience working in the courtroom taking down the verbatim record, how the machine works, and what it's like to “write” well over 225 words per minute. Kendra shares other roles that use the stenograph machine and the realities of the industry. Get ready. Kendra and I definitely geek out a bit on this one.

This article is on why stenographers fail and I hope it provides some insight on how to become a successful Court Reporter. It is read twice, slowly the first time and slightly faster the second time. Please write with accuracy and the speed will come. Thank you all for supporting this podcast by listening.

Partial transcript below. The causes of failure among stenographers are many and various , but the majority of them may be divided broadly into two general classes . The first is insufficient education or in adequate technical training , which leaves the stenographer ignorant of many things I which he may reasonably be expected to know , and unable to perform with satisfactory skill the tasks required of him . The blame for this must rest upon the schools , upon the students , or upon both . The second cause is lack | of common sense or gumption which would enable the stenographer to make the most of his powers . This fault must' be charged to the stenographer himself, or to the scapegoat ,hereditary. Some fail from lack of shorthand speed . They write haltingly , betraying the greatest ignorance of the principles of the system , resorting frequently to the use of longhand in writing | unusual words , proper names , etc . Others, who seem to write readily enough , transcribe slowly or inaccurately , from inability to read their notes fluently . But observation and inquiry show that these deficiencies , bad as they are , are neither the most common nor most troublesome to employers. Lack of speed , accuracy , and taste in typewriting causes more complaint than does slowness in shorthand . Perhaps this is because the typewriting is about all of the stenographer ' s work that comes directly under the employer ' s eye . But certain it is that the lack of finish — proper arrangement of the matter , width of margins , paragraph indentations , etc . , — is a fruitful source of complaint among discriminating employers . But more frequent than all is the complaint that stenographers write senseless transcripts , showing gross ignorance of the meaning of the language used by the dictator . For example , a stenographer wrote epidemic where he should have written academic ; instance instead of instant , etc . His knowledge of words I was not sufficient to protect him from such ridiculous mishearings . No doubt he wrote what he thought he heard , and I equally no doubt he “ had it in his notes , ” but he should have known better .Sometimes it is the spelling that is erratic , changing principle to principal ; their to there , etc . Again it is the punctuation that is hopelessly bad , ruining what would otherwise have been creditable work . And as for hyphens and apostrophes , to most stenographers they are a pet aversion , and the average stenographer ' s use of them is a nightmare to his employer . But some stenographers whose ' natural abilities and acquired skill are ample fail because of some personal peculiarity or weakness easily curable by the application of common sense ; such as a grumpy manner , a slovenly or untidy appearance ; laziness , manifesting itself in tardiness , clock - watching , absent mindedness while on duty , inattention to the requirements of the work in hand , attempting to mix work with play , etc. Success is comparatively easy to the stenographer who will make use of what judgement and intelligence he has, who is willing to work and all that pertains to it while working, instead of permitting his wits to go wool-gathering amid social or other matters foreign to his task. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app · Charity Promotion: Democracy Works: This advertisement is part of a charitable initiative in partnership with Democracy Works. howto.vote --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sandra-clay/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sandra-clay/support

COVID-19 pandemic affects all aspects of professional and personal life. But what toll does it take on a profession that predominantly relies on live settings, such as stenography? Host Daniel Litwin tapped Anir Dutta, President of Stenograph, LLC, for his perspective on the crisis, and how the industry is dealing with such rapid change. “The most important part of a stenographer's job is in the room,” Dutta said. “That's a critical value they bring to the process of a courtroom setting.” With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, typical stenographer workplace environments are not happening. Many court cases are delayed and not happening in a room environment at present. Most of the work occurring switched to online, and that means the practice of stenography has had to adjust. Dutta pointed out this is a change for the entire legal system, and the challenge is how a stenographer utilizes technology to add the same value-add that occurs when they are in the room doing live depositions. Because the move to online is such a seismic shift for the industry, Dutta said Stenograph, LLC was committed to helping stenographers with assistance, from products to aid with doing work online, to technical support. “We are getting a lot of calls from our customers trying to understand online stenography products, like CaseViewNet, that allows for this type of remote work setup.” Stenograph, LLC is proactively reaching out to its customer base to arrange training sessions, so they have all the needed support to make it through this challenging period.For the latest news, videos, and podcasts in the Software & Technology Industry, be sure to subscribe to our industry publication.

"The suspect fled on foot, police said. Call this number if you have any information." "The incident took place at the 1200 block of Grove." "Police say." "Police sources are telling us." "Suspect is thought to be armed and dangerous." We’ve all heard this type of Official Copspeak before. The local press dutifully informs us about "suspects" and "gang members" and "burglars." They're infiltrating our neighborhoods, rampaging through our streets, climbing in our windows. The police, of course, are just doing their part to keep us safe. Local media and community-based message boards they pander to read like police blotters. "Dial 1-800-985-TIPS for your friendly neighborhood detective!" But what if publishing police department press releases isn't really journalism, but rather free public relations for an already extremely powerful, routinely violent, often corrupt and deeply conflicted institution? What if the genre of so-called “crime’ reporting is inherently reactionary and the whole enterprise of how we think about “crime” needs to be deconstructed and reconsidered? On this week’s episode, we discuss why local "crime" reporting widely suffers from racist tabloidism and what overworked and under-resourced journalists can do to gather information from sources that don't wear badges. We are joined by Chicago-based activists Sharlyn Grace and Malcolm London.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be an official in the courtroom? Is the grass greener on that side of the fence? In this episode, we interview a former Florida freelance reporter who has transitioned to a federal official position in Tennessee.

It was not an easy journey, but she set her goals, met deadlines and executed the mission. Her story will inspire you to explore the options that abound nationwide with the extraordinary talent we possess as stenographers.

Court reporters, or stenographers, have been an essential element in the legal system by creating word-for-word transcriptions at trials, depositions, and other legal proceedings for the majority of the 19th and 20th centuries. Stenography is the method of recording the spoken words through shorthand using a stenotype machine. Some court reporters provide TV captions and real-time translation for the hearing-impaired …
