Why is there no information on Gary B Pruitt's political affiliation?

Probably because he sees himself as someone who is neutral about politics. Pruitt is currently the President and CEO of the Associated Press, but he was previously the President of the McClatchy newspaper chain. Both organizations pride themselves on fair and accurate coverage of news, so it is not unusual that their executives would avoid being identified with one political party or the other, since this would compromise their objectivity.

What are the job requirements for a career in Journalism?

Most employers prefer individuals with a bachelor's degree in journalism or mass communications, but some hire graduates with other majors. They look for experience at school newspapers or broadcasting stations, and internships with news organizations. Large-city newspapers and stations also may prefer candidates with a degree in a subject-matter specialty such as economics, political science, or business. Some large newspapers and broadcasters may hire only experienced reporters. Education and training. More than 1,500 institutions offer programs in communications, journalism, and related programs. In 2007, 109 of these were accredited by the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications. Most of the courses in a typical curriculum are in liberal arts; the remaining courses are in journalism. Examples of journalism courses are introductory mass media, basic reporting and copy editing, history of journalism, and press law and ethics. Students planning a career in broadcasting take courses in radio and television news and production. Those planning newspaper or magazine careers usually specialize in news-editorial journalism. To create stories for online media, they need to learn to use computer software to combine online story text with audio and video elements and graphics. Some schools also offer a master's or Ph.D. degree in journalism. Some graduate programs are intended primarily as preparation for news careers, while others prepare journalism teachers, researchers and theorists, and advertising and public relations workers. A graduate degree may help those looking to advance more quickly. High school courses in English, journalism, and social studies provide a good foundation for college programs. Useful college liberal arts courses include English with an emphasis on writing, sociology, political science, economics, history, and psychology. Courses in computer science, business, and speech are useful as well. Fluency in a foreign language is necessary in some jobs. Employers report that practical experience is the most important part of education and training. Upon graduation many students already have gained much practical experience through part-time or summer jobs or through internships with news organizations. Most newspapers, magazines, and broadcast news organizations offer reporting and editing internships. Work on high school and college newspapers, at broadcasting stations, or on community papers or U.S. Armed Forces publications also provides practical training. In addition, journalism scholarships, fellowships, and assistantships awarded to college journalism students by universities, newspapers, foundations, and professional organizations are helpful. Experience as a stringer or freelancer-a part-time reporter who is paid only for stories printed-is advantageous. Other qualifications. Reporters typically need more than good word-processing skills. Computer graphics and desktop-publishing skills also are useful. Computer-assisted reporting involves the use of computers to analyze data in search of a story. This technique and the interpretation of the results require computer skills and familiarity with databases. Knowledge of news photography also is valuable for entry-level positions, which sometimes combine the responsibilities of a reporter with those of a camera operator or photographer. Reporters should be dedicated to providing accurate and impartial news. Accuracy is important, both to serve the public and because untrue or libelous statements can lead to lawsuits. A nose for news, persistence, initiative, poise, resourcefulness, a good memory, and physical stamina are important, as is the emotional stability to deal with pressing deadlines, irregular hours, and dangerous assignments. Broadcast reporters and news analysts must be comfortable on camera. All reporters must be at ease in unfamiliar places and with a variety of people. Positions involving on-air work require a pleasant voice and appearance. Advancement. Most reporters start at small publications or broadcast stations as general assignment reporters or copy editors. They are usually assigned to cover court proceedings and civic and club meetings, summarize speeches, and write obituaries. With experience, they report more difficult assignments or specialize in a particular field. Large publications and stations hire few recent graduates; as a rule, they require new reporters to have several years of experience. Some news analysts and reporters can advance by moving to larger newspapers or stations. A few experienced reporters become columnists, correspondents, writers, announcers, or public relations specialists. Others become editors in print journalism or program managers in broadcast journalism, who supervise reporters. Some eventually become broadcasting or publishing industry managers.

Will having a non- drug related felony on my record affect my financial aid andor my journalism major in school?

No it wont. It only applies to drug felonies and only withholds aid a year or two. I have a drug felony and I receive financial aid now. What brought me to your question was your journalism major, I'm finishing my bachelors in accounting, but I'm concerned obviously about getting a job with a felony, I've tried to research which majors would be "felon friendly", not sure there are any, My question to you if you don't mind: do you believe you will find a job easily when you graduate in journalism. Is the journalism market "felon friendly". Ive always had interest in journalism, I LOVE to write. Thanks

What is an suspended-interest lead in journalism?

You: A reporter for the pre-recorded Newark Valley Weekend Update.

Audience: Mostly Newark Valley students

Remember: These are notes with missing words. Rewrite these notes into a story that

follows the inverted pyramid of news. Remember, notes have misspellings, lack

capitalizations sometimes, leave out words and are what they are: JUST NOTES.

_________________________________________________________________

A. Two Newark Valley High School seniors are claiming a world record. They have asked that

the Guinness Book of World Records include their names in the next edition. They played

Halo for 75 straight hours over February break, pausing only long enough for bathroom

breaks. The two are Dale Whittaker and Bill Moore. Moore contacted Guinness a day after the

marathon by email, requesting that they be included in the famous book of records. "Some

guy named Bob Stevens wrote me back on Friday, requesting my phone number. He said the

process of getting in the book is a long one. Apparently it involves them interviewing several

people, mostly witnesses," Moore said. Both boys are 17 and members of the NVHS Gamers

Club. They played the marathon at Dale's house. They played 48 total games. When their

marathon was over, they each slept for at least 14 hours. "All I could see were plasma

grenades and rocket launchers behind my eyelids," Whittaker jokingly said. "It was kind of

freaky." The two took the risk without knowing if Guinness would even consider it a record.

No other record currently exists for consecutive hours playing a video game. "Even if they

don't accept our marathon as a record, it was still worth it," Moore said.

B. A stray dog visited Newark Valley High School yesterday. No one knows where the dog

came from. It first was seen just outside the gymnasium fourth period, according to physical

education teacher Mr. Wandell. When he walked toward it, the dog ran down the hall past the

guidance and main offices and into an empty chemistry lab. It upset some test tubes on the

floor, spilling several experiments left to fester in a corner. It also ate part of Ms. Carroll's

morning snack (half a plain bagel). From there, it trotted into the open door of a home and

careers class, interrupting a lesson on resumes. Then it left. It was last seen going out the

doors by the auditorium, released by a passing teacher, English teacher Mr. Smith. Student

Jamie Volvo said the dog "licked my shoelaces and then sneezed on my pants" while he was

in home and careers class. Volvo sits near the door. According to Bethany Anders, who just

so happened to be in the coridor when the dog came bouncing down the hallway from the

Chemistry lab, "He seemed friendly." Anders said the dog was brown, white and black,

probably some sort of terrier. Mr. Smith confirmed it was probably a terrier. The dog incident

tastes of another recent incident involving several chickens which were released in an

upstairs hallway across from room 209. Some of the foul pooped on the floor in 209 and two

students were suspended from school because of their involvement. Mr. Harold, whose office

is near a parking lot window, said he has never seen the dog before that day. "You can be

sure that we'll be looking into who let the dog in," he said.
