Journalism Is About Listening

Let us now praise famous men, James Agee said famously. Journalism certainly does that. Probably too much, especially in a public relations age when you can become famous for being famous.

Djelloul (Del) Marbrook (Editor/Mentor)Journalism Is About Listening - Let us now praise famous men, James Agee said famously. Journalism certainly does that. Probably too much, especially in a public relations age when you can become famous for being famous.
Djelloul (Del) Marbrook (Editor/Mentor)Journalism - Not a Turn Key Business - You could say that as far as the White House is concerned the war in Iraq has already been won, because the moneybags who supported Dick Cheney and George W. Bush have been stuffing the spoils of war into their carpetbags since Day One.
Djelloul (Del) Marbrook (Editor/Mentor)Attribution, Plagiarism and Lies - Part 2 - Hot Copy #12B - Problems of attribution, plagiarism and fraud are directly related to the state of the news business, indeed the state of publishing in general.
Djelloul (Del) Marbrook (Editor/Mentor)News for Laughs vs. News for Vision - There`s a crucial difference between balanced reporting and insightful reporting. You can listen to this difference by tuning into the Yes Network and listening to color commentator David Cone
Djelloul (Del) Marbrook (Editor/Mentor)Circus journalism Distracting the masses - But journalism also enjoys special First Amendment privileges, because the Founding Fathers believed the republic would founder without an honest and protected Fourth Estate.
Djelloul (Del) Marbrook (Editor/Mentor)And Now the Do-it-Yourself Newspaper - I don`t like trying to take in a whole museum in a single gulp. I invariably get intellectual reflux.
Djelloul (Del) Marbrook (Editor/Mentor)When the press waffles, democracy falters - McClellan says the press didn`t do its job. He says that no matter how he sliced it the press readily swallowed his daily servings of baloney.
Djelloul (Del) Marbrook (Editor/Mentor)The Wire: A Bleak Picture - Sometimes it?s hard to say just when the heyday of a great institution was. I had the great privilege of working briefly for The Baltimore Sun in the mid-1960s.
Djelloul (Del) Marbrook (Editor/Mentor)Editing is Not About You - The book industry has suffered a similar fate. And it shows. And as for television, those quasi-literate crawls are enough to give you the creeps, provided of course you notice.
Djelloul (Del) Marbrook (Editor/Mentor)Are we getting the news we want? Hot Copy #32 - We?re in a strange place in American journalism. The great print
Djelloul (Del) Marbrook (Editor/Mentor)The High Cost of Juicing up Journalism - Hot Copy #31 - Strange as it might seem, silence is an important element in good journalism, and in these days of Botox journalism it?s in short supply.
Djelloul (Del) Marbrook (Editor/Mentor)A Free or a Free-er Press? Hot copy #27 - United States foreign policy is predicated on promoting democratic institutions. When you consider such institutions, the right to vote and a free press are paramount among them.
Djelloul (Del) Marbrook (Editor/Mentor)Lost Story Disease: Why Do Important Stories Get Lost? - Lost Story Disease is ravaging the planet. Its toll will be much greater than the Spanish Flu's. While there are no cures for such diseases as cancer, there is a cure for Lost Story Disease.
Djelloul (Del) Marbrook (Editor/Mentor)Do we need editors? Hot Copy #22 - I?ve been working with the student collaborators of The Student Operated Press long enough now to discern a pattern of behavior among them that surprises and disquiets me.
Djelloul (Del) Marbrook (Editor/Mentor)The Whir of the Great Spin Machine - Hot Copy #21 - If you?ve been listening to Hot Copy you?ve probably gotten the idea that I think the big stories are often lost in the fog of everyday stories.
Djelloul (Del) Marbrook (Editor/Mentor)Magna Carta of Journalism - Hot Copy #16 - Newspapers used to resemble feudal castles. Nobody knew exactly what the baron and his cronies were doing in the middle of the night in those mysterious castles, but whatever it was it was going to affect you.
Djelloul (Del) Marbrook (Editor/Mentor)The Ugly Blogger - Hot Copy #13 - Bloggers play an ever-increasing role in journalism. That?s a pretty bland and bald statement. But it will do for starters. We need to take a look at journalism itself.
Djelloul (Del) Marbrook (Editor/Mentor)Attribution, Plagiarism and Lies - Part 1 - Hot Copy #12A - The word plagiarism carries a lot of baggage. It should be thought about in the larger context of fraud. For example, if I copy passages from a book I admire and use them in my own book, that?s plagiarism.
Djelloul (Del) Marbrook (Editor/Mentor)This is the time to know...what we don't know - Hot Copy #11 - When I was a kid in West Islip, Long Island, I wrote a six-paragraph report about a baseball game. I have no idea what I said, but I"m sure it wasn"t very good.
