Protest At Funerals

Citizen’s speak in favor of proposed bill “Don’t waste your tears on fallen soldiers” and “God hates fags” are two of many picket signs held by radical religious groups protesting the funerals of soldiers and other Reno citizens. “To me, funerals have always been seen as a sacred venture,” Josh Olsen, 24, U.S. military sergeant, and UNR ROTC member said. “It is a strictly familial affair. Protest is always about the appropriate time and place, and a funeral is not appropriate.” Assembly Bill 1,… Continue

The Ethics of Investigative Journalism

In 1992, a cataclysmic chain of events devastated the American grocery chain Food Lion. The demise of this corporation was not due to the economy, the consumers or the government. Instead, it was the practices of journalism activists that uncovered the scandal that crippled Food Lion. For years the federal government had heard reports of alleged health and packing abuses being committed by Food Lion. Eventually, these reports attracted the attention of ABC News. “The Government Accountability… Continue

Global Warming: A picture is worth a thousand words

Dennis Dimick, executive editor for the National Geographic, illustrated his concern over global warming not just in words, but also through photography in a lecture held on March 5. Dimick was raised in an agricultural community near Mt. Hood in Oregon. From a young age, Dimick was interested in photography and documenting the world around him. That interest eventually would lead him to the National Geographic, capturing the world through a camera lens. Because Dimick's passion is in recording… Continue

Political forum brings alternative perspectives to U.S. politics

Political discourse over the 2008 election filled the air as former Nevada Governor Richard Bryan and Republican political strategist Sig Rogich reflected on the 2008 presidential election. Bryan and Rogich both hold venerable experiences in U.S. politics. Bryan viewed McCain as a “formidable” candidate with “a distinguished record and bipartisan appeal.” However, in spite of McCain’s experience, both Rogich and Bryan felt the circumstances proved greater than his performance. “McCain was a vi… Continue

The wider purpose of j-schools

Dan Gillmor, author of "We the Media" and now a professor at the ASU Cronkite School for Journalism and Mass Communication, posted a description of what he thinks journalism schools should be and do in the digital age. Here's the heart of his argument: Journalism educators should be in the vanguard of an absolutely essential shift for society at large: helping our students, and people in our larger communities, to navigate and manage the myriad information streams of a media-saturated world.… Continue

Marketing debt to college students

We talked about this issue briefly in media ethics this past semester -- about the ethics of marketing products in ways that may confuse target groups about what they are actually buying. In this article, the ethical question is about universities who make financial agreements with credit card companies to market to students. Should universities profit from students who buy credit cards and use them, in some cases getting into serious debt? Or should universities make these agreements transparen… Continue

why does the reynolds school of journalism lack skills in promoting itself?

just a thought...why is it that we are here studying how to make online content more appealing and the home page for the school looks like it was made in the early nineties? or is that a retro thing? another thought....why is the internship page never updated....has anyone been able to find an internship that way? also why is there no data for the students who have fulfilled internships in the past and why isn't this information available? just a few tough questions to fulfill my ferocious liber… Continue

"Persist! The world needs all you can give."

Here are the closing words of an interview on NPR tonight with Harvard biologist E. O. Wilson: "You are capable of more than you know. Choose a goal that seems right for you and strive to be the best, however hard the path. Aim high. Behave honorably. Prepare to be alone at times, and to endure failure. Persist! The world needs all you can give." Chris Bowman, environment writer for the Sacramento Bee, highly recommended this interview from National Public Radio to his graduate class, and I se… Continue

Nevada in a block and a half

As I was driving past the capitol of our great state a few minutes ago, I was struck by awe at the giant McCain /Palin sticker on the big 'ol SUV in front of me. And, while I have come to be rather, "live and let die" about Mr. McCain's race strategies, I came to this realization: The devil really IS in the details, and the smaller "Drill Baby Drill" sticker below Palin's name and above the GMC symbol, and how ignorant some people still are about the countries abusive addiction to oil. Bu… Continue
