The Journalism That Matters organizers have offered up to 15 no-fee
registrations for UW communication students.  The conference begins Thursday
afternoon, January 7, in the ballroom of Haggett Hall, continues into the
evening, and runs the full day Friday and Saturday with a morning wrap-up on
the 10th.  The department is a co-sponsor.
 
Since the program takes place the first week of next term, we need to submit
our list of students this month. Please tell your students about the event,
check out its website www.journalismthatmatters.org, and urge students to
contact me if they want to be considered for the free registrations.  
 
Journalism That Matters' national series of action-oriented
discussions comes to Seattle this January. Join us for a productive weekend
re-imagining news and community in our region!
 
How can the press and the public help each other?
 
The DIGITAL AGE and a depressed economy have changed the landscape in which
journalism operates. Engage others who are actively involved in addressing
the vital question of how the press and community members can help each
other define and embrace our evolving Pacific NW news ecology. Our Seattle
program "catalysts" - Norman Rice, Tracy Record, and Chris Jordan - will be
part of the conversation joining other Pacific NW journalists, civic voices,
broadcasters, educators, ethnic media, students, emergent voices, digital
entrepreneurs and business people. Join others who are finding and
developing new information sources, economic solutions and accountability
models that work to create a revitalized journalism that matters.
Information booths available for interested registrants. 
 
Questions and opportunities in a new era of journalism:
 
Given the state of the industry, WHAT?s possible now? WHO are the new
journalists? HOW are stories chosen? HOW are they told? WHAT kind of change
is productive? WHO can the public trust? WHAT is the role of journalism in
connecting people and community? WHERE can editors find qualified
contributors and information with increasingly diminished budgets? WHAT new
technological sources are reliable? WHERE is the new newsroom? WHEN are beat
blogs, twittering and social networks best utilized? WHY is transparency so
important? HOW do we maintain transparency and accountability while
protecting sources?

The One Who Is Not Busy:
Living and Working Calmly and Effectively
in an Accelerating, Information-Saturated World
 
November 12, 2009, 7 p.m. - 9 p.m.
University of Washington
Johnson Hall Room 102
 
Presenters
 
Darlene Cohen (Zen teacher and author of The One Who Is Not Busy)
Alfred W. Kaszniak (Professor of Psychology, Neurology, & Psychiatry, U. Arizona)
David M. Levy (Professor, University of Washington Information School)
 
Description
 
While the new information technologies are extraordinarily powerful
tools for communication and for information access, it is increasingly
evident that their use is also contributing to the rushed, fragmented,
and distracted character of contemporary life. This evening symposium
will provide an overview of some of the work now being done at the
Information School to understand the causes of these conditions and to
develop helpful responses and potential solutions.
 
David Levy will provide an overview of the work currently being done
in the iSchool (in collaboration with Darlene Cohen, Al Kaszniak, and
others) which is investigating how to restore "contemplative balance"
to our overly rushed and busy days. Darlene Cohen, a Bay Area Zen
teacher, will describe how training the attention through meditation
can improve people's ability to stay focused on task and thus
remain "not busy" even while being productively engaged; she will also
lead attendees in an attention-training exercise. Al Kaszniak will
discuss some of the recent findings from neuroscience about the place
of meditation and other contemplative practices.
 
This event is free and open to the public. To register for this event,

Conducting Research Responsibly-Oct. 21 
1pm in MGH 389 

THE IMPORTANCE OF CONDUCTING RESEARCH RESPONSIBLY:
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
 
Dr. John Galland, Director
Division of Education and Integrity, Office of Research Integrity
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
 
October 21st, 2009
 
1:00-2:15 p.m.
 
Mary Gates Hall, Room 389
 
Dr. Galland will provide guidance to students, fellows and faculty on the 
meaning of conducting research responsibly and what that means to us in our day 
to day research environment.
 
Twenty years ago, the Office of Research Integrity (ORI) at DHHS, in concert 
with the community of scholars in the United States and internationally, 
provided guidance on conducting research responsibly. Nine focus areas were 
identified and education and training in these areas was encouraged and in some 
instances required. Dr. Galland will share the ORI insights on how we 
incorporate these principles into mentoring and carrying out research. Those 
core areas include:
 
? Ownership of research data
? Recognizing and addressing conflicts of interest
? Working with human subjects
? Issues of animal welfare
? Misconduct in research
? Authorship and publication protocols
? Rights & responsibilities of mentors and mentees
? Peer review
? Complexities of collaborative science
 
No registration is necessary.

UW Career Center at the University of Washington

The Young Critics Workshop gives young writers the opportunity to explore critical journalism, meet and learn from professional critics and artists, and hone their critical writing skills in the company of peers.  The YCW is a challenging and rigorous writing course.  Classes will be held twice a month for five months.  Approximately three quarters of the class periods will be devoted to writing instruction, with the other quarter dedicated to guest speakers and field trips to see art.  Students will be asked to attend and review at least three shows over the course of the five-month workshop in addition to completing writing assignments both in and out of class.  The class will be conducted in a seminar style, and students will be expected to participate in class discussions and to read and respond to one another’s work.  

•	The Young Critics Workshop is free of charge and open to all 11th & 12th graders and college/university freshmen.  
•	All classes will be held at the Center House at Seattle Center.
•	Classes will be held approximately twice a month for five months.  The class schedule is as follows.  All classes will be held from 5 – 7 p.m. on Thursdays.

             Continuous and rapid advancement in internet technology allows
business to be more efficient, people to stay connected with family and
friends, and access to information to be immediate. But does the ongoing
revolution in technology come with a price? Our personal lives are more open
and accessible - not just to our closest family, friends, and business
associates - but to almost anyone in the world who wants to know us. Buying
habits, personal interests, employment history, financial information and
more is all available to those who know how to look. Do you enjoy the
targeted advertising that results from tracking your clicks? Do different
generations of consumers feel differently about the need to opt-in or
opt-out of electronic tracking? And does Congress plan to set some ground
rules? Bring your own questions and join us as we delve into the changing
world of privacy.

Seattle Arts & Lectures presents Scott Simon
Benaroya Hall, 7:30 pm
Wednesday, March 18, 2009
 
There are certain voices in America that stitch into our lives like family 
recipes, old jokes, and wedding dresses: they become a part of our routine, a 
part of our consciousness, and we depend on them. Scott Simon is such a voice. 
With a smooth Midwestern corn husk purr, Simon has delivered straightforward 
and compelling reporting for National Public Radio for more than three decades. 
From all 50 states and numerous countries, from eight wars and more than a few 
presidential campaigns, he has covered strife, siege, politics, and baseball. 
He brings the cool consideration and diligence of another era to every 
subjectone filled with caramel leather club chairs, smoke, and high heelsand 
his commentary is precise, opinionated, and smart enough to make a strong 
statement without caricature.
 
Simon joined NPR in 1977 as chief of its Chicago bureau, and he has been the 
anchor of Weekend Edition Saturday since 1986. He was quick to win awards for 
his coverage of the American Nazi Party rally in Chicago and for his political 
reporting on All Things Considered.

GUEST LECTURE SERIES
ONLINE BUDDHIST COMMUNITY, AUTHORITY AND IDENTITY

WHAT: CIS is hosting a monthly Guest Lecture Series, and thi= s is the first Lecture in the series.  The format will include a presen= tation by a UW researcher (faculty/staff/student) accompanied by two panel m= embers from other disciplines.   
WHERE: Mary Gates Hall 228
WHEN: January 14th, 2008, 4-5pm

LECTURER: Laura Busch – Dept. of Communications

TITLE: Online Buddhist Community, Authority and Identity: a case study on how th= e process of spiritualizing technology impact religious identity and authori= ty in a Buddhist Web forum.

ABSTRACT: This study analyzes the Buddhist message forum E-sangha, to analyze ho= w this forum’s founder and moderators ‘spiritualized the Interne= t’ using contemporary, narratives of global Buddhist community, and in= doing so, provided these actors authority in determining the boundaries of = Buddhist orthodoxy and identity. Through a qualitative structural and textua= l analysis of E-sangha Web space, this study demonstrates how religious comm= unity narratives provide Web producers and forum moderators the opportunity = to frame Web environments as sacred community spaces, which inherently allow= s those in control of the site the authority to set the boundaries of religi= ous identity and hence, who can take part in the community.

             Part One featuring David Domke

Talking American:  Values and Social Change

People and organizations interested in promoting social change too often fail to speak a language that connects with everyday Americans, choosing instead to emphasize policy-speak.  It doesn’t work.  Many people don’t have the interest or time to sift through the array of issues and agendas in today’s 24/7 culture. As a result, individuals look for ways to simplify their intake and evaluation of information. The bottom line is this:  People who wish to impact the public arena must become effective in identifying and communicating their core values in ways that are culturally resonant.

NATPE/ UW/Student Career Workshop/ KING-TV Seattle/ Sat Oct 4 2008 / 9AM-2 PM


If you're unfamiliar with NATPE-the National Association of TV Program
Executives-it's a Los Angles based non-profit founded in 1963 by program
directors seeking a forum, and has evolved with the medium. Seattle will
be the fifteenth in the Workshop series that began in 2000, and has
traveled to  New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Boston.
Atlanta, Washington DC, Phoenix, Miami, Denver, St. Louis, San Diego,
Austin, and New Orleans

 

While the settings and focus of the Workshops have been  on TV
broadcasting--and of special interest  to broadcast, production and
journalism students--the sessions have also been valuable for those
interested in other aspects of media and communication: two examples are
the increasing opportunities made possible by digitalization, and the
subtext of windows into the dynamics of contemporary business
