The Tribune endorsed Sen. Obama in the primaries.

Commencing a survey of ideology, etc.  Will post a photo when I figure out how.

 

I've been off the computer for 6 days due to massive power outages from last week's wind storms associated with Hurricane Ike - SO thankful you are all on top of this AP nonsense.  I'll be out canvassing tomorrow and will try passing this on to others, especially other family members here in Ohio with a little more time than I have just now. Once again, thanks, I was sputtering hot mad after reading this glop - please cross-post at DKos?  Many eyes and fingers can get busy quickly, and Kos himself is on a mission re: AP & Fournier, I believe.

It's feeling very close in OH, but it always will in my area (SW Ohio).  We are working it hard.  I'll need to read previous posts to find out when/where you'll be in Ohio...I'll happily buy you a cold beverage if you chance to come this way!

I did not immediately find any columns or articles by her on the Seattle Times website, but there is this blurb about her job from February 2007:

Kathy Best , managing editor / digital news and innovation, with specific responsibility for Seattletimes.com. She is newly hired from The Baltimore Sun and "will be our liaison with the New Media Division and will focus on innovation and creativity throughout the newsroom."

Would you please try again?

I'm forming a word document with all of the info. you guys have found in a more organized fashion. Does anyone know of a web site where I can post it so everyone has access? I know google documents has something like this? I can also make it mac accessible with my other computer when I am done transfering all this info.

Some work I pulled up on the Oakland Tribune website seems to suggest that he wouldn't be particularly sympathetic to our man Fournier:

I hope I can help out on this project when I get back tomorrow evening but signing off for the night as I have a 5:15 a.m. wakeup to head to Jackson, Michigan to canvass.  Only 45 Days until Election Day! 

I will go back and get them again and see if I can fix it.

In a middle class neighborhood of Manchester, NH today, canvassed and found: 19 Obama, 19 McCain, 11 Undecided, 116 not home. Seems like an all out battlground, also between Shaheen (D) and Sununu (R) for Senate. Ran into 2 McCain canvassers who were dressed in very collegiate/corporate attire (and the female had Palin glasses). She said "to the fight!" Me and my partner were in jeans. It was weird. Our field organizer was unfazed. He said, "Oh, you ran into the only 2 canvassers in the state. They're doing that neighborhood, but we have offices in all parts of NH."

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/sandy-kaczmarski/how-i-got-folded-out-of-m_b_74724.html

I've seen some enthusiasm regarding newspapers that endorsed Obama in the primaries. Well, most did - and also endorsed McCain on the Republican side.

Please when you check how a newspaper endorsed in one party's primary, check how it endorsed in the other one as well.

Not sure if this is the same Gatehouse Media that Brad Dennison belongs to but they donated to Obama's campaign under Cape Codder-Gatehouse Media $300.00.

He joined the staff in January 1986 as a reporter, moving quickly to City Hall to cover former Mayor W. Wilson Goode. He has also covered the Philadelphia public school system for the paper. Days had directed for three years the paper's Urban Journalism Workshop, which is geared primarily to high school students interested in careers in journalism. He came to the Daily News from the Philadelphia bureau of The Wall Street Journal, where he had covered utilities and consumer product companies.

Sounds sympathetic to me. Wilson Goode was the first African American Mayor of Philly

I can't find any relevant articles by him. He seems to be an administrator who occasionally writes about safe subjects.

 

Neither of his papers made any endorsements in the primaries. For what its worth, I read the Tennessean daily, and its primary coverage was heavily slanted in favor of Fred Thompson. It is a tradtionally Democratic newspaper and endorsed Kerry in 2004.

Biography



In November 2007, the Washington Post was criticized by independent journalist Robert Parry for reporting on anti-Obama chain e-mails without sufficiently emphasizing to its readers the false nature of the anonymous claims.

APME should: Work more with media companies and Online organizations to decide how it can shift more of its focus on helping newsrooms continue to forge ahead in the digital age. Newsrooms of all sizes, especially smaller ones, need help to effectively remain strong as print products and watchdogs of government while adapting to demands for delivering information on the Web. APME should look at partnering with broadcast journalism organizations to decide how one can learn from the other different ways of providing information. APME also should continue to try to find ways to refocus newsroom leaders and other staffers on diversity so it is not forgotten as everyone deals with more and more challenges.

In my spare time: I spend time with my children, garden, mentor young journalists.

This link has lots of info like his hobbies, favorites (his favorite song is Killing Me Softly by Roberta Flack.  Seriously?), and a bunch of other stuff.

Here's an excerpt:

Amid newsroom cheers, Mike Days was recently appointed the managing editor of the Philadelphia Daily News after serving six years as deputy managing editor. A Philadelphia native, he will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the newsroom. According to the Daily News article announcing the promotion, Days, who is also considered the informal peacemaker in the newsroom, said, "I've been waiting all my life for this job."

It is not surprising that Days is a master of keeping the peace among reporters; he and his wife Angela Dodson, have raised four sons, now ages 17 - 22. Days finds that the most challenging aspect of the newspaper business is knowing that you're not doing your job if you are not making life better for readers every day.   He loves working for a newspaper that strives to make that every day difference. "We're currently waging war on the "johns" who patronize neighborhood prostitutes on the streets of Philly. We're putting their names and pictures in the papers."

Days, who started as a reporter at the paper 18 years ago, acknowledges that his best professional moment occurred when the newsroom staff broke out in cheers and toasted him with champagne when the appointment was announced. Days' editor, Zack Stalberg told Daily News reporter Scott Flander, "[Mike's] not a hot dog. He's not an emotional guy. He's extremely centered. He's the kind of person you'd like to have as a best friend."

Oona, I was in Manchester NH yesterday too! Our route was very rural + involved walking 1/2 mile between houses but I think we made a difference w/ two or three people. I was very impressed w/ the staff at the office + very heartened by the number of volunteers streaming out to canvas

amk - Whether or not I am going to do a post on something else, this is an organizing thread: real work is getting done here (and done very well and very fast, thanks everyone). Let's not detour it into a discussion of anything else.

Apparently, Ms Tarrant recently argued in favor of anonymous posting to online newspaper forums as a vital part of "true freedom of the press". Not sure that's relevant, but it is somewhat heartening to see someone within the establishment arguing in favor of the wild and wooly online community.

Times is silent on reassignment of reporter after local hospital pulls its ads

I think I've got everything in except for the pictures. I am able to copy and paste them, I just haven't gotten around to getting it formatted yet, but I figured the hard info. was the most important to include first.

 

If I missed anyone's post, I apologize, I've just been trying to move down the line and putting them all in the right place, but it's very possible I mistyped something, placed something in the wrong place or missed some good information.

 

Here's the link to the document, let me know if you can't access it or it's not looking updated: http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dcxkg97w_1x6hnnm55

 

As you can see from the document, there is a bit more information that we still need to get, but we've completed this very fast!

Here's an editorial appearing in The Roanoke Times, 20 Mar 2008: "Obama's race and racism". Thought specifically addressing how Obama handled the Jeremiah Wright affair, it does seem to take a clear stance against racial devisiveness.

I don't know whether the AP "geopolitical" bias has also been covered but at any rate, here are a couple of links that may be of interest to this project:

Good luck!

Are we including the others associated with this article in the process?

Co-author TREVOR TOMPSON and contributing writers Nancy Benac, Julie Carr Smyth, Philip Elliot, Julie Pace and Sonya Ros, or is this a broader action than just the one article?

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/flatpages/services/newsroomstaff.html

 

Another editorial from The Roanoke Times, 5 Jun 2008: "Obama comes calling". In general, the piece seems sympathetic to Obama and specifically states that, "His skin color should not be the determining factory, though, in how people cast their votes".

David Bailey

Managing Editor

Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Little Rock, Ark.

Career summary: I worked at daily newspapers in Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas; 15 years at the Democrat-Gazette, nine as managing editor. I taught editing and advanced reporting as an adjunct professor at LSU for eight years.

Recent accomplishments: I initiated APME endorsement of national shield legislation. We hosted regional Congressional Earmarks training and NewsTrain programs. In concert with other national journalism organizations, I monitored congressional legislation on First Amendment issues. I organized Arkansas newspaper editors and set up a communications network for successful united resistance to attempts by high school, NCAA and professional sports organizations to limit press access to events and to limit newspapers' copyrights.

APME activities: First Amendment Committee chairman; past participation on First Amendment, Storytelling and Wire Watch committees. Arkansas APME president.

APME should: Ensure that it can thrive through trying times for our industry; champion free press, free speech and government accountability; help develop the next generation of journalists.

In my spare time: I play guitar in a garage band – actually in a garage – and think about what it would be like to have time for golf again. I lobby for the Arkansas FOI Coalition against legislation that would weaken the Arkansas FOI or shield laws, which are among the strongest in the country.

Gettysgirl - Why is it that whenever a serious efforts begins to make an example out of one powerful media simulator, some folks want to expand and dilute the campaign to to include the other ones too?

Think! Dilute your efforts, and lose on all fronts. Those of us with less resources but better strategy must focus all our firepower at the weakest link (which in the case of Fournier, happens to be the boss and the one that assigns all those other wannabe clones to work according to his dictates).

I marvel every day at the lack of strategic or tactical thinking by people of conscience who need to do and be better at winning battles and not just complaining about how bad things are.

Looking through at what I have...

 

The big glaring holes I have is:

Adell Crowe's mailing address and phone number (on her web site it lists only e-mail for contact due to 'occasional deleted messages'

Jan Tourney contact info (mailing address, e-mail address and phone #)

 

I'm not, at first glance, seeing anything else that is required for Al's criteria (besides the photos - sorry, I've been slow about getting those in and will probably get to it tonight or tomorrow, but I figured for getting in touch the photo is a lesser priority).

 

You should be able to print from the Google Docs web site, but again if anyone needs a hard copy (Al, would you like one that you can edit?).

If there's any typos, errors, discrepencies - please let me know. I've been rushing to get things copied and pasted over and I definitely could have overlooked something.

 

Besides those things I mentioned, the only thing we really need is some more info. on a few of the people (the ones popping out to me are the ones from Arizona, but I know there are a few others that are lacking info.)

 

Good work Field Hands!

Career summary: As Community Conversation Editor, I am in charge of the Sunday Viewpoints op-ed section, aztalk.azcentral.com, local columnists and Web manager; also write a weekly column, am a voice on the Editorial Board and seek to expand community conversation throughout The Arizona Republic.

Previously, I was a Senior Editor at The Republic in charge of three community newspapers in the Southeast Valley. Previous positions include: Editor, The Daily Times, Farmington, N.M.; Senior Editor, Assistant Managing Editor, City Editor and Columnist while at the Tucson Citizen, Tucson, Ariz., for 18 years; Staff Writer at The Associated Press, Denver, Colo.; summer stint at USA Today; adjunct professor of journalism at the University of Arizona, Tucson.

Recent accomplishments: Launched a Web site for community conversation, aztalk.azcentral.com; took part in a major news operation reorganization responding to the need for a greater Web presence for younger audience while simultaneously providing enhanced and targeted content to Boomer print audience; hosted a Diversity Roundtable for the Western Region; won a First Place award for Editorials (New Mexico).

APME activities: I am completing a one-year term on the APME national board and am running for a three-year term. Moderator/organizer of 2006 APME/Unity Diversity Regional Roundtable, hosted by The Arizona Republic in Phoenix; 2007 APME Mall of Ideas organizer; marketing committee; previously president and member of Arizona APME; helped in initial organization of APME Conference in Phoenix; organized sponsorship for reception at APME Conference in Phoenix to recognize Don Bolles, the Republic investigative reporter assassinated in a car bombing in 1976; helped in bringing APME NewsTrain to New Mexico for vital regional training.

APME should: Become a year-round resource for editors seeking to network and communicate with other editors (both experienced and new), who seek additional training, insight and understanding of the quickly changing responsibility, expectation and duty of newspaper and Web publication. The APME Web site should be expanded and become more interactive, allowing greater participation and access to newspapers. Content should be both general and customized for large, medium and smaller newspapers. Meanwhile, APME training efforts should be stepped up, as the industry scales back on training. APME also should take a more vocal and active leadership role on diversity, First Amendment issues and challenges to a free press and freedom of information.

In my spare time: Family, fishing, camping, travel, movies and music. In general, I continue to seek moments of Zen and sanity since craziness seems to find me on a daily basis.

 

Randy Lovely Editor and Vice President / News The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com Phoenix, Ariz. LovelyCareer summary: I was named editor of The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com in February. I joined the paper in 2002 as managing editor and was promoted to executive editor in 2005. Gannett awarded The Republic its first Gold Medal for performance by a newspaper in 2004. It also received the honor in 2005 and 2006, and was named Newspaper of the Year in 2005. Before coming to Phoenix, I was executive editor of The Desert Sun in Palm Springs. While in Palm Springs, I was awarded a Gannett President's Ring and the newspaper was a runner-up for Most Improved Newspaper. I began my career in 1986 as a reporter at the Sturgis Journal in Sturgis, Mich., when Gannett owned it. I worked at two Knight-Ridder newspapers in Indiana and California before returning to Gannett in 1992 as an assistant managing editor at the News-Press in Fort Myers, Fla.

The Republic hosted the national convention in 2003. APME should: I think APME does an incredible job of providing support and guidance to our editors during a time of incredible uncertainty in our industry. I think the organization needs to continue to promote the balance between the values of our traditional print publications while pushing us to innovate in the digital world. Our success depends on achieving progress in both arenas. I would also like to see APME join with other industry organizations to develop a marketing message that focuses on our successes – and there are many – to counter the continuing onslaught of negative opinions about our profession. In my spare time: I love to dig in the dirt with my never-ending home landscaping project, sip a glass of good California wine, and enjoy a laugh or two with friends.

I haven't practised google-fu like this for years

From http://www.chipsquinn.org/news/chipsnews/chips_news.aspx?id=612

Chips Quinn Scholars: "Giving opportunity, training, and voice to young journalists of color."

"He also is working on an ongoing project with the Boalt Hall School of Law at UC-Berkeley, to look at alternative sentencing options for juveniles, new ways to use databases and the Internet for solution-oriented reporting, as well as the creation of a media access center for citizen journalism."

for Martin Reynolds. May or may not be relevant, but gives a feel for where he's coming from:

 

"When Martin Reynolds was one of a team of Chips Quinn interns at The Oakland Tribune in 1995, the veteran Tribune police reporter Harry Harris, took the class on a bus tour of the city.

He started with the usual public places -- police stations, City Hall, etc. - and then he took them through 'the toughest part of town.' As the bus turned a corner onto 'one of the roughest streets around,' Martin pointed to a house in the mid-block and said: 'That’s where I live.'"

I did quick lexis searches on Martin Reynolds + Oakland Tribune and Martin Reynolds + APME, and turned up about 100 hits, mainly press releases and news wires. Will comb through tomorrow and see if there's anything relevant for more background info.
