The Great Coney Quest
The Great Coney Quest – Video shot by: Gabrielle Johnson (There is a small typo in the video, it should say desserts.) Instead of visiting three coney islands, we went to four. Yep, four. Each coney had their own unique style and offered delicious options. Leo’s Coney Island was very close to campus. Rating 3/5… Continue reading The Great Coney Quest
Ethics matter – a lot
To reiterate what Ken Doctor said in his Nieman Lab article: as journalists, alternative reporting doesn’t mean we throw our values out the window; it means they are now more important than ever before. I liked how he brought up the Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics, as I recently learned more about these… Continue reading Ethics matter – a lot
Rebuilding the News and Getting Advertisers
By Ashley Gibbard I think the “Roadmap” article was a good read this week as we are getting started with our businesses.

I enjoyed Ken Doctor’s Newsconomics: Rebuilding the news media will require doubling-down on its core values because he pointed out that the founding… Continue reading Journalism Needs To Get Back To Basics

News Been Down So Long, It Looks Like… News
By Nicole Bush In Newsonomics, Ken Doctor discusses how we need to get back to real news with real standards. He lists The New York Times, The Washington Post, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, The Atlantic, Mother Jones and The Guardian as organizations that have done this good “visible work” that readers have “responded” to. That… Continue reading News Been Down So Long, It Looks Like… News
