'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

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.

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.

"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

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.

Confessions
of a Baggage Screener: "I used the CTX 5500 to keep bombs
off your plane. I also go elbows deep in your underwear." At Wired.
August 13, 2003 7:50 p.m.
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."

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.

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.
