Sarah Posner & Gabriel Arana
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 15:03:04 05/07/12
On The Posner Show, Sarah speaks with Gabe Arana, web editor for The American Prospect, about the magazine's current financial crisis. Gabe says conservatives are smarter about funding a media infrastructure, while the liberal donor class has not been. Sarah worries about the future of long-form journalism in an age of rapid-response online media. She cites Gabe's article on his experience with reparative gay therapy as a great example of this kind of reporting. Turning to the presidential race, Gabe thinks the resignation of an openly gay foreign policy advisor shows that Romney is a wimp. Sarah wants to know why Obama can't evolve on gay marriage already.

Washington Journal: Cost of higher education
[LESS INFO] 1 VIEWS | ADDED 04:45:01 05/07/12
[ VIDEO ] Not a regular watcher of C-Span's Washington Journal but on May 3rd I caught most of this segment with Peter Morici an economics professor who talks about student loan debt and the state of higher education. Here's a description:
> Peter Morici talked about his Des Moines Register article on the value of a college degree in comparison to tuition costs, accrued debt, and salaries earned after graduation. He said that employers require college degrees for jobs that do not pay enough to justify college costs, in part due to high schools' failure to adequately prepare students for the work force. He urged incoming college students to major in science fields, which pay higher salaries and provide specific job skills. Professor Morici also responded to telephone calls, electronic communications, and questions from students at Asheville-Buncombe (NC) Technical Community College, who participated via Skype. What Morici says seems a bit dour, but it should make people think about what they hope to get out of college. Is it about an education or about a future career? If only this information had been available when I was in high school hopefully our young people will understand what this "investment" can represent.

Mad in America: TheHistory of Eugenics in the United States & How It Affects Psychiatric Care Today
Robert Whitaker
Although we usually associate eugenics with Nazi Germany, it was here in the United States that eugenic laws were first passed. In the early part of the 20th century, states passed laws that prevented the %ldquoinsane%rdquo from marrying; eugenicists argued, with much success, that the mentally ill needed to be segregated from society in mental hospitals, in order to keep them from passing on their %ldquobad genes;%rdquo and in 1927 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that it was constitutional to forcibly sterilize the mentally ill.
These eugenic conceptions of the mentally ill, as essentially %ldquounfit%rdquo for society, also set the stage for the introduction of therapies in the 1930s and 1940s, that were understood to %ldquowork%rdquo by damaging the brain. Frontal lobotomy, which involved destroying the patient%rsquos frontal lobes, was one of these therapies.
Today, we think that such eugenic impulses have been scrubbed from our society%rsquos treatment of those with psychiatric diagnoses. But it is easy to see that our society still prescribes treatments that, in their effects, have some similarities to the treatments used in the 1940s; that our society is expanding its forcible treatment for those deemed mentally ill; and that the modern effort in research circles to identify the genetic causes of mental illness encourages our society to think of people so diagnosed as having %ldquobroken brains,%rdquo and really not quite %ldquofit.%rdquo
By understanding this past, and how it can provide an understanding for the present, we can perhaps imagine a different future, with our society embracing a paradigm of care that is free from such eugenic impulses.
Robert Whitaker is a journalist and author of four books. Much of his writing has focused on psychiatry, the pharmaceutical industry, and medical histories. His first book, Mad in America: Bad Science, Bad Medicine and the Enduring Mistreatment of the Mentally Ill was named by Discover magazine as one of the best science books of 2002. His second, The Mapmaker%rsquos Wife: A True Tale of Love, Murder and Survival in the Amazon, was named by the American Library Association as one of the best biographies of 2004. In 2008, Crown published On the Laps of Gods: The Red Summer of 1919 and the Struggle for Justice that Remade a Nation, which was awarded the Anthony J. Lukas work-in-progress prize. His newest book, Anatomy of an Epidemic: Magic Bullets, Psychiatric Drugs, and the Astonishing Rise of Mental Illness in America, won the Investigative Reporters and Editors book award for best investigative journalism in 2010.
Prior to writing books, Robert Whitaker worked as the science and medical reporter at the Albany Times Union newspaper in New York for a number of years. His journalism articles won several national awards, including a George Polk award for medical writing, and a National Association of Science Writers%rsquo award for best magazine article. A series he co-wrote for The Boston Globe was named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 1998.

Is Blogging Journalism?
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 21:56:50 05/03/12
"http://www.lockergnome.com/media/2012/04/19/is-blogging-the-future-of-journal... - Statistics show that, in the last five years, print advertisement revenue for American newspapers has declined by nearly 50%. This decline is expected to plunge further in coming years. Since 2010, Web advertising revenue has consistently surpassed print advertisement revenue, bringing in $32 billion last year in comparison to the $22 billion in print advertisement revenue. What these statistics show us is that the days of print media are coming to an end. Let's face it: Content media is shifting to digital media, and readers have access to an infinite amount of sources to attain a wide range of information including news updates, discussions, images, videos, etc. With this in mind, is blogging the future of journalism?

Marco Rubio: 'If I Do a Good Job as Vice President'
Complete video at: fora.tv After months of steadfastly denying any interest in joining the Republican ticket, Marco Rubio might have made a revealing slip in conversation with Major Garrett of the National Journal. ---- The face of America is changing before our eyes. In the decades ahead, virtually every aspect of American life%mdashthe economy, politics, education, healthcare, and social life%mdashwill be shaped by a demographic revolution literally remaking the face of the nation: the diversification of America. The Next America project, presented by the Apollo Group, parent company of University of Phoenix, will explore the impact these new demographics will have on a wide range of policy areas. In this first event of a series of forums slated for the coming year, National Journal will provide a current demographic snapshot of America and will explore a range of issues, including how minorities and whites view this demographic change and their current perceptions of race relations, the economy, and future opportunities. The flagship University of Phoenix/National Journal Next America Poll will serve as a discussion driver at this event. Marco Antonio Rubio is the junior United States Senator from Florida. A member of the Republican Party, he previously served as Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives. From: ForaTv Views: 3758 66 ratings Time: 02:58 More in News & Politics

Everyone I've shown this app to today (it came out last week) says "that's freaky." What does it do? It captures a ton of data on your phone as you move through the world. Right now it keeps a list of places. But here I sit down with founder Sam Liang for a discussion about just what data it captures, how that data could be used, and how he's going to get people to cross the freaky line. This is the future folks and, it, is, indeed, freaky.
