Bottom-up' journalism from the pros

Fair and balanced, too!

August 15, 2003 7:55 p.m. -- (Last week's weblog)

Ted Koppel snookered by Web wag: In a rare turn at anchor, since he could broadcast from Washington, where the lights were on, things went wacko. This is a letter (no permalink) to Jim Romenesko at Poynter.org

CHRIS FLORANCE: Several friends and I watched blackout coverage yesterday on ABC News, at about 5:30 pm central time, and were amused/confused by a strange incident involving Ted Koppel and a caller claiming to be an administrator of the NYC Transit Authority. Koppel spoke with this person for several minutes, during which time the caller said that people trapped on subway trains were asked to stay on the trains, repeatedly asked news media to tell people to stay on the trains (which provoked challenged from Koppel to the effect of "How is anyone going to be able to listen or watch what we're saying?"), and asked the people of NYC to access a web site (I believe called sorryimissedyourcall.com or thankyouforcalling.com) to receive official emergency communications from the city. As Koppel grew more and more confused, the caller accused him of not listening to him and repeated the web site url, then the call disintegrated into a lot of beeps and special effects noise.

I assume this was some sort of prank, but did ABC News ever ackowledge it? Why did it take Koppel and his producers so long to figure out the caller wasn't on the up and up?

[Romenesko: Yes, it was a prank. Here's the audio.]

Pioneering Samurai editor: Back on July 24, I blogged Jeff Jarvis's collision with the editor of Nieman Reports, America's oldest journalism review, published as a quarterly magazine by the Nieman Foundation at Harvard. The editor -- her name is Melissa -- had called J.D. Lasica in June, inviting him to write a story for a Weblogs & Journalism section of the fall issue; she also asked him to recommend other journalist-bloggers who might contribute. He suggested Jeff and me, among others.

Jeff filed his story by the suggested deadline, then went ballistic when she came back at him with changes that rewrote the meaning of his sentences. Fuming, he killed the piece and blogged it instead. (Editors ask questions and suggest changes, but full-blown rewriting is "getting in your face.")

J.D. was next, and reported "a very amicable and cordial editing experience with her."

I know the difference between a deadline and a drop-dead deadline (when the presses roll), and it's been a busy summer. I didn't get around to filing my story till Monday.

Like Jeff, I found that Melissa rewrote some of my sentences, making them inaccurate. It was shocking to see my straightforward prose badly misunderstood, my facts replaced by someone else's erroneous assumptions.

Which was, of course, her point: It's an aggressive magazine-editing style -- Samurai editor! Hai! -- that forces a yelp and a strong reaction: "It's not that, it's this!" Which was exactly what she was trying to get from me. By taking on the persona of a clueless reader who would interpret my words willy-nilly, she forced me to nail every concept so it could not be misunderstood.

I gave as good as I got. I explained more. We went back and forth a few times until we were both satisfied with the piece, which turned out to be three or four times the assigned length, and will run that way. It's a much better story now, thanks to Samurai Melissa.

And this might have been all I had to say about it, except...

Melissa is Melissa Ludtke. In 1977, she was a baseball reporter for Sports Illustrated, covering the Dodgers-Yankees World Series. Tommy John, the Dodgers' player rep, took a vote and the players agreed to let her into the locker room. Baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn balked, and Melissa and SI sued. A federal judge subsequently ordered that Melissa and other female reporters must be allowed access to locker rooms. Here's the ruling.

Here's Ludtke, talking to Dave McKenna in the Washington City Paper about the incident.

"I really tried to do everything right," Ludtke says. "I even went to [Dodgers player representative and pitcher] Tommy John to say I wanted to go into the locker room and ask the players' permission, which is something none of the male reporters had to do. He came back later that night and said, ‘We all voted, Melissa, and you're in.' I thought that would be enough."

It wasn't. Bob Wirz, the commissioner's point man with the media during the World Series, was the guy who personally delivered Kuhn's order barring Ludtke from the Dodgers' locker room. The news that she'd already gotten the go-ahead from the team didn't change Wirz's stance.

"Bob Wirz told me the players' vote didn't carry any weight," Ludtke says. "He said that there were two reasons I wouldn't be admitted: The players' wives hadn't been consulted about letting me in the locker room, and the players' kids would be ridiculed if their classmates found out a woman was in the locker room. That sounds so silly now, but that's what they told me. I told Bob that I wasn't aware baseball consulted players' wives in making its rules."

I think I know now where that in-your-face editing style comes from. You'll get to see all our stories next month.

Power outage traced to dim bulb in White House --- the tale of the Brits who swiped 800 jobs from New York, carted off $90 million, then tonight, turned off our lights. This is not satire. It's by Greg Palast of the Observer (U.K.):

I can tell you all about the ne're-do-wells that put out our lights tonight. I came up against these characters -- the Niagara Mohawk Power Company -- some years back. You see, before I was a journalist, I worked for a living, as an investigator of corporate racketeers. In the 1980s, "NiMo" built a nuclear plant, Nine Mile Point, a brutally costly piece of hot junk for which NiMo and its partner companies charged billions to New York State's electricity ratepayers.

To pull off this grand theft by kilowatt, the NiMo-led consortium fabricated cost and schedule reports, then performed a Harry Potter job on the account books. In 1988, I showed a jury a memo from an executive from one partner, Long Island Lighting, giving a lesson to a NiMo honcho on how to lie to government regulators. The jury ordered LILCO to pay $4.3 billion and, ultimately, put them out of business.

And that's why, if you're in the Northeast, you're reading this by candlelight tonight. Here's what happened. After LILCO was hammered by the law, after government regulators slammed Niagara Mohawk and dozens of other book-cooking, document-doctoring utility companies all over America with fines and penalties totaling in the tens of billions of dollars, the industry leaders got together to swear never to break the regulations again. Their plan was not to follow the rules, but to ELIMINATE the rules. They called it "deregulation."

It was like a committee of bank robbers figuring out how to make safecracking legal.

Woman makes Harley Davidson from butter: At Ananova,

Norma "Duffy" Lyon from Des Moines is creating a full-scale butter V-Rod to celebrate Harley-Davidson's 100th anniversary.

The butter she is using is five years old, which is about the maximum age she likes to work with because the consistency changes.

She began the Harley sculpture last week after finishing a life-sized butter model of a dairy cow. ...

August 14, 2003 7:15 p.m.

35 years later, another Poor People's March: The Poor People's March for Economic Human Rights is blogging its progress; marchers departed from Marks, Miss., on Friday, Aug. 1, and plan to arrive in Washington, D.C., on Friday, Aug. 22, in time for a massive Poor People's March on Washington on Saturday, the 23rd. After this demonstration, they plan to establish a tent city -- which they're calling Bushville -- with or without a permit. Here's the schedule.

This is a re-enactment of the Poor People's Campaign of 1968, conceived by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Over 100,000 people rallied in Washington and thousands remained for two months in an encampment on the mall, by the Washington Monument, called Resurrection City. This time, in order to arrive in three weeks, the "marchers" are driving.

The Clarksdale (Miss.) Press-Register interviewed a participant in that 1968 event before the kickoff of the current march at the Road Side Park at Mississippi 6 and Charlie Pride Highway in Marks. Bertha Burres recalled marching in mule-drawn wagons to Atlanta to board a train to Washington:

"We were able to get food stamps and Social Security and get better health care than we had before," Burres said from her home in Marks. "That was a big help for a lot of people in the country, because we had poor health and no jobs. The people in charge of the programs in Quitman County at that time just didn't want to help black people. So, we used the mule train to get people stirred up and get things changing."

Here are some photos of 1968's Resurrection City on the Web (scroll down, click thumbnails to enlarge) by Ollie Atkins, who "covered the major Washington demonstrations first for the Saturday Evening Post, then as official White House photographer during the Nixon Administration."

Baghdad Blogger Salam Pax is cranky:

As you go into Baghdad from the west there is graffiti on the walls that says "Welcome to the Republic of Darkness and Unemployment".

Baghdad had no electricity for a whole day. Call me the master of all whiners but do you have any idea what it feels like to sleep in 50C (122 degrees Fahrenheit)? I guess with the current heat wave you have a taste. Today's office stories: Muhammad, one of the drivers, decided the best place for his family to sleep was in the car with the engine running and the air-conditioning on. Shihab was up every couple of hours getting water for his kids because he was afraid they would totally dehydrate. Everyone who got into the office today had bags under their eyes and a bad headache. Haifa, the nice lady who makes sure we have coffee in the morning, was ranting about having to watch "this Paul something" give us lies on TV everyday. She actually described Paul Bremer as another Saddam; we see him every day on TV, and the news is all about what he says and what he does. Next we'll have statues of him in the streets. Somehow you feel like he lives in a bubble and has absolutely no idea what the people are saying.

More "fair and balanced" fun: Al Franken is a Minnesota native, so the Star-Tribune has given some funny ink to the flap over the humorist's use of the Fox News slogan in the title of his upcoming book, "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right."

Todd Hanson, senior writer at the Onion, said that the humor newspaper and Web site has never been threatened with legal action for the borrowing of a phrase for satirical purposes, although he suggested, "Maybe we'll get sued by the Vegetable Growers of America for using the word 'onion.' "

Satirist Andy Borowitz, author of the parody "Who Moved My Soap?" quipped, "Fox claiming they own the words 'fair and balanced' is a little like Schwarzenegger claiming he owns the words 'qualified and experienced.'

"Fortunately, the First Amendment is on the side of the satirists when it comes to parodying other people's titles or slogans, and the courts tend to agree."

Harvey! Cloning Yields Human-Rabbit Hybrid Embryo: From the Washington Post,

Scientists in China have, for the first time, used cloning techniques to create hybrid embryos that contain a mix of DNA from both humans and rabbits, according to a report in a scientific journal that has reignited the smoldering ethics debate over cloning research.

More than 100 of the hybrids, made by fusing human skin cells with rabbit eggs, were allowed to develop in laboratory dishes for several days before the scientists destroyed them to retrieve so-called embryonic stem cells from their interiors.

... Some wondered aloud what, exactly, such a creature would be if it were transferred to a womb to develop to term.

We bet...

Utterly Outrageous Recipes: "This site is dedicated to the weirdest food people actually eat. If you have a dish you love eating, but your family and friends think it's repulsive, this is your chance to share it with the world."

Some people cook with bugs, but most of the recipes are odd combinations -- bananas in tomato soup, soft-serve ice cream between two slices of white bread, for example. I'm willing to try peanut butter in my coffee.

The current contributions are on the main page, but previous "recipes" are linked at the bottom, so you're likely to find something somewhere that doesn't sound all that strange to you.

The cream cheese, tuna and horseradish dip sounds pretty good to me.

I found the link when I dropped by Teresa Neilsen Hayden's really nice blog, Making Light (which is usually not this light). She's got an interesting bio, too. Making Light is on my blogroll now.

Fair and balanced: The Web loves Fox News' trademark infringement suit against comedian Al Franken for using the phrase in the title of his upcoming book, "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right."

Franken seems to love it, too ("What, Me Worry?"):

"...from everything I know about law regarding satire, I'm not worried," Franken said in a statement.

"But I'd like to thank Fox for all the publicity," he added. About 24 hours before reports of the lawsuit hit the newsstands, Franken's book, due out next month, ranked No. 489 in sales on Amazon.com. But by about 5 p.m. yesterday, it had shot up to No. 4."

It's No. 1 now -- not bad for a book that won't be published till Sept. 22.

Blah3.com is compiling a list of bloggers -- over 200 so far -- that are now sporting the phrase on their pages, expressing disdain for the action.

Jack M. Balkin, a Yale Law School professor, writes, "Because Franken's obvious purpose is political parody, and, in particular, parody of Fox News itself, among others, Fox's lawsuit should not succeed," and adds, "The most troubling aspect of the lawsuit politically is its attempt to harass a political opponent through the use of intellectual property laws. Fox News v. Franken is merely one episode in a much larger conflict between freedom of speech and intellectual property."

Neal Pollack, humorist and candidate for Governor of California (aren't they all?), is calling for this Friday to be Fair And Balanced day, encouraging widespread use of the phrase.

The New York Daily News has some of the backstory.

Free speech is important here in this newsroom, so I'm joining the movement.

Would You Like Wi-Fi With That? Great story at Wired by Paul Boutin about how it's more profitable to offer Wi-Fi for free than to charge for it in public places:

If wireless Internet access is such a hot technology, why is it such a dud business? Wi-Fi hardware, which uses radio signals instead of cables to connect computers to the Net, is already in more than 10 million laptops. But try to make a buck selling connectivity. Starbucks charges up to $6 an hour for in-store T-Mobile access - not much more than a double venti Frappuccino with a raspberry shot. Though its wildly successful overpricing works for coffee, it's failing with Wi-Fi. Demand for the service averages fewer than two customers a day per store.

...If you want to see the right way to serve wireless access, find a Schlotzsky's Deli. The Austin, Texas-based sandwich chain figured out the secret of making money from Wi-Fi: Give it away. Schlotzsky's lets anyone sign up and use its network free, even if they don't come in for a sandwich.

Even cooler:

Verizon is already turning its New York City phone booths into hot spots, which means it can make home DSL subscribers an offer upstart rivals can't match: Stick with us at home, and you'll be able to get online all over town.

Turn Your Radio On - The Unions' Answer to Right-Wing Static: At Common Dreams,

"If America's largest and most conservative corporations can own and influence big chunks of the American media," some have asked, "then why not our most established and respected unions?"

It turns out that unions can get into the media business - and one already has, creating what has recently become America's only operational commercial liberal talk radio network, officially introduced to the industry this month with a prominent ad in Talkers Magazine.

...This revolution in talk radio has come about because four years ago the United Auto Workers union (UAW) acquired a struggling talk radio network from its owner in Florida. In the intervening years, they renamed it the "i.e. America Radio Network," moved it to Detroit, and invested in state-of-the-art studios, satellite uplinks, and internet stream servers.

The network brought in top-notch radio industry management, technical, and programming talent, and built an entire business week of high-quality left-leaning programming and an assortment of non-political weekend shows. The i.e. America Radio Network now feeds the ABC Starguide III satellite, which beams down a broadcast-quality signal that can be carried by virtually any radio station in North America - for free on a barter basis (of the 14 minutes in a broadcast hour, the local station can sell nine minutes and the network keeps five).

Over 115 stations across the nation have now taken them up on the offer. The i.e. America Radio Network has also joined with the Sirius Satellite Radio system (standard option on Ford/Chrysler/Mercedes/Jeep and many other cars) to providing live programming for "Sirius Left," stream 145. ...

Fractal recursions: 30 pages of stunning fractal images.

August 12, 2003 6:50 p.m. -- (Last week's weblog)

Citizen publishing: A reality tour. jobforjohn.com, created by John Andrew of Northfield, Minn., takes job-hunting to new heights. Here's how it starts,

Hello, thanks for visiting my site, JobforJohn.com. Last Thursday, July 24th I was "downsized" from my job of 3 years at a software company.

Later the same day I heard that President Bush's economic team would be doing a bus tour through Wisconsin and Minnesota this week touting Bush's tax cut and its prosperous economic effects.

"What a bunch of BS. I'd like to give their PR tour a dose of reality," is what I thought. So I packed up the minivan and decided to follow their bus around the countryside and talk to whoever would listen about the real facts -- that this economy stinks, and Bush's tax cuts are making it worse.

And off he goes. At one point, he finds himself in the drive-through at a fast-food restaurant Wausau, Wis., as Treasury Secretary John Snow walks by, and he gets his attention:

"What's your story?" Snow says.

I tell him I was laid off last week & saw that he was coming & I thought it was important to come here and let him see the reality of what's going on in today's economy.

"What industry were you in?"

"Most recently the software industry."

"That's a particularly vulnerable part of the economy."

"Yes, well, I need a new job & it doesn't look good."

"Just wait," he said. "The first tax cuts haven't really taken effect. So just wait... the second tax cut... well, it' won't hit the economy for several months, but I'm sure you'll get a job." ...

John then writes, "Snow later recounted his version of our conversation to reporters," linking to an AP story about the tour:

One resourceful demonstrator decided to get into his car and use the restaurant's drive-through window, which remained open, to order a frozen custard while also making his views known.

Snow, who happened to be walking by, responded to the man's comments about the inadequacies of the Bush economic program.

"He said, `Your tax cut hasn't done anything for me,'" Snow told reporters later. Snow said the man told him he was upset because he had been laid off about a month ago from a computer job.

"I know what it is like to not have a job and to want one," said Snow, recounting his early years before he became a wealthy railroad executive.

John blogs the trip, adds photos from the road, photos of his kids. It's a personal, irresistible report from the heartland. His site is a fine example of the citizen journalism explored in the next item.

An interview on citizen journalism: Michel Dumais, technology columnist for Le Devoir, a newspaper in Quebec, J.D. Lasica, blogger and senior editor of Online Journalism Review,

Do you think traditional media will have to rely more and more on weblogs as a source of information? How will you judge the credibility of a story published on a blog?

Many bloggers have staked out a legitimate claim as experts in subjects as diverse as wireless networking, copyright infringement, sonnet poetry and much more. Their blogs are written with a high degree of insight and sophistication. I know of many readers who now turn to gifted amateurs or impassioned experts with a deep understanding of niche subjects, rather than to journalists who are generalists and cover topics a mile wide but an inch deep.

Can traditional journalism and this new “citizen journalism” co-exist? Do you think weblogs can offer something different to journalism?

Blogging will not replace traditional media or drive news organizations out of business. But citizen journalism will provide a valuable supplement to traditional media. When a major news event unfolds, most readers will continue to turn to institutional media for their news fix. But the story doesn’t stop there. On almost any major story, the weblog community adds depth, analysis, alternative perspectives, foreign views, and occasionally first-person accounts that contravene reports in the mainstream press. ...

Good stuff.

Inside Dean's Internet operation: Dan Gillmor (San Jose Mercury News) traveled to Vermont to look into the wildly successful Internet operation of presidential candidate Howard Dean. He published his report in the newspaper and on his blog, which has the advantge of reader comments at the end.

Here's an excerpt:

There's still a traditional hierarchy at the center of the Dean campaign, here at his national headquarters. But the profound insight in the campaign's Net-working -- which raises huge risks along with opportunities -- is in trusting people out at the edge to become the campaign, too. The campaign tries to give them some additional online tools, but the people out at the edges are not under anyone's orders but their own.

"What's going on in Austin?'' Joe Trippi, Dean's campaign manager, asks rhetorically.

"We don't have a clue. We're just assisting.''

Three Little Words: Fox News Sues. Former Saturday Night Live comedian Al Franken has invoked the ire of Bill O'Reilly at Fox. From the Washington Post,

Fox News Channel has sued Al Franken and his publishing house to stop them from using the expression "fair and balanced" in the title of his upcoming book.

"Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right" is due out next month from Dutton, a unit of Penguin Group.

But Fox News, in a trademark infringement lawsuit filed in Manhattan, claims that it registered the expression "fair and balanced" in 1998. Franken and Penguin, the suit claims, are trying to exploit the trademark to boost sales.

In its fair and balanced way, Fox News refers in its suit to Franken as an "unstable" and "shrill" "C-level commentator" who is "not a well-respected voice in American politics."

Candidate Weblogs: Stanford law professor Lawrence Lessig has lined up presidential candidates to take over his blog while he's on vacation. Howard Dean did it earlier, now it's Dennis Kucinich's turn. . Be sure to click on the "comments" links at the end of each post. That's where reader responses are coming from. Feel free to join in.

Miami Herald news researcher Liz Donovan has gathered links to the blogs assorted l hopefuls and one dropout. Except for Gary Hart's, most are written by staffers with occasional entries by the big guy:

Tom Daschle - blogging a health-care tour
Bob Graham
John Kerry
Howard Dean (mostly written by campaign staff but apparently the candidate posts sometimes).
Joe Biden ( possible presidential candidate).
Jerry Springer (no longer running for an Ohio Senate seat, but somebody's still blogging there).
Dennis Kucinich
Gary Hart written by the (non) candidate (He was mentioned early as a presidential candidate, says he isn't running).

The first candidate anywhere to write a blog, at least as far as anyone knows, is Tara Grubb (currently candidate for mayor of Greensboro, NC, started her blog when she was running for Congress last fall). Now some other local candidates are blogging too.

Internet coalition sends protest to RIAA: From Geeknews.net,

Criticism of the recording industry's anti-piracy campaign increased on Monday as a high-tech trade association said it was worried that its members could be forced to police the Internet for illegal song copying.

NetCoalition, which represents hundreds of small Internet providers as well as larger firms such as Yahoo and DoubleClick, sent a letter to the Recording Industry Association of America asking pointed questions about its campaign to track down and sue thousands of Internet users who copy songs without permission.

... The group asked the RIAA how it identifies suspects, how it determines whether its suspicions have merit, and if it intends to pay Internet providers for their troubles.
