Podcasts about truth the business

The happiest people are tackling big problems, not just complaining about them. Rosabeth Moss Kanter's goal is to give folks the skills to move to action, whether personally or professionally. Rosabeth is the author or co-author of 20 books, including her most recent Think Outside the Building: How Advanced Leaders Can Change the World One Smart Innovation at a Time. Rosabeth and Kevin discuss change and innovation and she shares examples of folks moving ideas forward. The size of your idea does not need to be tied to the size of your bank account. Some big ideas grow with many small asks. She cautions that moving ideas are messy and those small asks help build your community. Not only does this community keep you going, but they can also offer perspective. Don't be afraid to propose a new solution. Sometimes nothing happens. Sometimes that idea can grow and if you don't act you will never know. In this episode, Rosabeth discusses 1. What is “Outside the Building”. 2. Small asks. 3. Kanter's Law (Roadblocks in the middle). This episode is brought to you by... From Manager to Remarkable Leader, Kevin's flagship workshop based on his proven leadership model.

Convulsive changes in journalism following the advent of the Internet have exposed the editorial/business divide, and spawned ethical dilemmas. Navigating these choppy seas is the first female executive editor of The New York Times, Jill Abramson, who was fired in 2014 after less than three years in the job. In her new book Merchants of Truth: The Business of News and the Fight for Facts she investigates reporting at four news organisations. Two have towering reputations (The New York Times and The Washington Post); two are relatively new entrants (BuzzFeed and Vice) of whom Abramson said they, along with other digital media, “were giving the old guard serious competition – and heartburn”. Following publication of Merchants of Truth Abramson herself now stands accused of factual errors and unethical behaviour, namely plagiarism – a charge which she refutes. She joins Toby Manhire to discuss the controversy, the Fourth Estate, and whether cat videos are all we can expect. Supported by Platinum Bold Patron Theresa Gattung.

On The Gist, it wouldn’t just be morally right for Trump to finally denounce white nationalism. It would be politically smart. In the interview, Jill Abramson’s Merchants of Truth: The Business of News and the Fight for Facts was released to glowing reviews—but valid accusations of plagiarism and factual errors took some of that shine off. As Mike asks Abramson (a former executive editor of the New York Times), were the negative headlines so grabby that they’ve damned the book’s valuable insights? And would that in itself prove many of her worries about journalism in the 21st century?  In the Spiel, the New York Times, biased? You don’t say. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this extra special episode we go over ex NYT executive editor Jill Abramson’s terrible book, “Merchants of Truth: The Business of News and the Fight for Facts.” I only read the parts that were about Vice when I was there and I counted TWENTY, yes TWENTY major factual errors. Since completing the book, Abramson has gone on to do lots of press for it that includes defending the multiple examples of plagiarism and telling many more lies like the allegation Proud Boys are “white nationalist” and I was recently arrested for brawling alongside them.

Today on Midday, a conversation with a veteran journalist about the intersection of journalism and business; the changing nature of how and from whom we get our news, and who pays for it; and the growing poltical assaults on truth and the news media. Jill Abramson began her career as a reporter in the early 1970s, during the Watergate Era. She spent almost a decade at the Wall Street Journal, and she was the first woman to be appointed the Washington Bureau Chief of the New York Times, where she rose to become the Gray Lady’s Executive Editor. In 2014, after three years in that position, the Times fired her in favor of the current executive editor, Dean Baquet. Abramson is currently a columnist for the online The Guardian US, and a visiting lecturer in the English Department at Harvard University.She has written a compelling book about the current state of journalism and the business of journalism. She shines a spotlight on four major news enterprises -- the New York Times, the Washington Post, BuzzFeed and ViceMedia -- and examines the tension between their aspirations to publish accurate, thorough stories about the important issues of the day, and their need to make enough profit from publishing those stories to sustain diverse, multi-media newsrooms -- and satisfy the corporate entities that own those newsrooms.The book is called Merchants of Truth: The Business of News and the Fight for Facts. Jill Abramson joins us from the studios of WGBH in Boston…

SPEAKERS Jill Abramson Former Executive Editor, The New York Times; Author, Merchants of Truth: The Business of News and The Fight for Facts; Twitter @JillAbramson In Conversation with Quentin Hardy Head of Editorial, Google Cloud This program was recorded in front of a live audience at The Commonwealth Club in San Francisco on February 27th, 2019.

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by Alexander Mercouris, the editor-in-chief of The Duran; Ann Wright, a retired United States Army colonel who resigned in protest of the invasion of Iraq and became an anti-war activist; Kim Ives, an editor of the newspaper Haiti Liberte; and producer Walter Smolarek.The United States makes a practice of touting international coalitions as a means to achieve a military or foreign policy goal. Just think of the coalition to defeat ISIS, the Coalition of the Willing that was the Iraq War, the coalition that overthrew the Libyan government, the Lima Group, and others. But these international coalitions are really just a myth. They serve as a cover for US intervention around the world in the absence of a United Nations Security Council Resolution or other international approval for military action. Thursday’s weekly series “Criminal Injustice” is about the most egregious conduct of our courts and prosecutors and how justice is denied to so many people in this country. Paul Wright, the founder and executive director of the Human Rights Defense Center and editor of Prison Legal News (PLN), and Kevin Gosztola, a writer for Shadowproof.com and co-host of the podcast Unauthorized Disclosure, join the show. An international conference of neutral countries will be held today in Uruguay to jumpstart a dialogue between Venezuelans seeking a way out of the current crisis sparked by the U.S.-orchestrated effort to install Juan Guiadó as Venezuela’s president. Spokesmen for the governments of Uruguay and Mexico said they expect at least 10 countries to be represented at the talks today in Montevideo. Brian and John speak with Aline Piva, a journalist and a member of Brazilians for Democracy and Social Justice, and Sputnik News analyst Walter Smolarek The Virginia Democratic Party is in a state of collapse. Senior Democrats around the country are calling for Governor Ralph Northam to resign after allegations that he appeared in blackface and with a friend dressed as a Ku Klux Klansman in college. Attorney General Mark Herring also admitted to appearing in blackface while in college. And Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax is being accused of sexually assaulting a woman. If all three are forced to resign, as appears increasingly likely, the Republican House Speaker would become governor. He became speaker after an election was decided by drawing lots from a hat. Rebecca Keel, a Richmond community organizer and a member of Southerners on New Ground, joins the show. Veterans for Peace is Thursday’s regular segment about the contemporary issues of war and peace that affect veterans, their families, and the country as a whole. Gerry Condon, a Vietnam-era veteran and war resister who refused orders to deploy to Vietnam and lived in exile in Canada and Sweden for 6 years, organizing with other U.S. military deserters and draft resisters against the Vietnam war, and for amnesty for U.S. war resisters, joins the show. He has been a peace and solidarity activist for almost 50 years and has served on the Board of Veterans For Peace for the last 6 years, currently as national president. This week, Sputnik News analyst Walter Smolarek also joins the show. Jill Abramson, the former Executive Editor of the New York Times, is being accused of plagiarising portions of her new book, “Merchants of Truth: The Business of News and the Fight for Facts,” which purports to be an expose of Vice News. Abramson told Fox News yesterday that she had no comment, other than to deny plagiarism. But Vice News released a carefully-annotated side-by-side comparison of the book along with passages from Time Out and The New Yorker magazines and the Columbia Journalism Review that show uncanny similarities. Ted Rall, an award-winning editorial cartoonist and columnist, whose work is at www.rall.com, joins the show.Israel’s Minister of Justice, Ayelet Shaked, who now co-chairs a new political party called “The New Right,” recently posted a tweet accusing the Israeli right wing party Likud of being left. That’s a common put-down right now in Israel. But what it really means is the accused is weak and unwilling to kill Palestinians. Brian and John speak with Sputnik news analyst Walter Smolarek.

Jill Abramson, the former executive editor of the New York Times, talks with Recode's Peter Kafka about her new book, Merchants of Truth: The Business of News and the Fight for Facts. In this episode: Why Abramson wrote Merchants of Truth; why she focused on the New York Times, the Washington Post, BuzzFeed and Vice; the recent layoffs at BuzzFeed and why it's now "winter" for digital media; is the New York Times unfairly targeting Facebook in its reporting?; the criticism Merchants of Truth has received before publication; the shrinking wall between business and editorial interests at the Times; the media is critical of President Trump — is that a problem?; the surprising happiness at the Washington Post; Abramson's fact-checking process; and the crisis in local news.
