*Media hypes A Pro-Life 'Jihad'?
by Brent Bozell, Townhall.com*
In the very heart of the pro-life community, there is nothing they wanted
less than another shooting of an abortionist. An unhinged vigilante's
shooting of notorious Kansas late-term abortion "provider" George Tiller
prompted an avalanche of press releases from pro-life groups denouncing the
killing. Why bother? Let's face it. The national media had zero interest in
spotlighting a pro-life spokesman expressing horror, because let's face it,
they don't believe it. Instead, as with ABC, they found anonymous citizens
on the website Twitter saying "Oh, happy, day. Tiller the baby killer is
dead." Another wrote, "God bless the gunman." It was time for a barrage of
liberal mudslinging. Keith Olbermann started his MSNBC program with these
words: "A religious jihad by fundamentalist crusaders who believe that
murder is justified, their acts of violence having the intended effect of
changing behavior. Our fifth story on the Countdown: Not the Taliban, not
Hamas, not al-Qaida."

Journalists Ignore Reality That 'Post-Racial' President Isn't
By Dan Gainor, Business and Media Institute*
In the run-up to Obama's election, journalists were promoting him as a
"post-racial" candidate. Now with the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor for
Supreme Court we know that both the media and the candidate were lying to
us. As USA Today columnist DeWayne Wickham wrote on May 5, 2009, "For many
people in the USA, Obama's election ushered in a post-racial era that was
expected to push race to the back burner of our national consciousness." But
his presidency isn't "post-racial." It's not just the obvious identity
politics where craven political calculations are used to pick candidates of
appropriate age/race/gender/class/shoe size. It has to do with Obama's
stance on using racism to correct racism. That position was evident in
Obama’s deliberate choice of Sotomayor who figured prominently in a major
case of racial injustice.

*News Flash From the Future: What Will Journalism Look Like?
BY IDEO STAFF*
THE ONCE PROFITABLE NEWS INDUSTRY IS TEETERING ON THE BRINK. The recession
has battered advertising. Dailies are folding. Printing the New York Times
for a year costs twice as much as sending every subscriber a free Kindle.
The Daily Show is a more trusted source than network news. And consumers
have been marginalized in media dialogue about how to save journalism. Yet
how we define and experience news can--and should--change for the better, if
we ground ourselves in what people really need and want. The next four pages
showcase two environments that put the future of news in the context of our
daily lives. In these scenarios, we see that information has become even
more personalized and hyper local--and, paradoxically, more communal,
participatory, and global. Journalism is more like having a conversation.
People speak with unique voices, take ownership of content, and establish
credibility, which in turn enables strong communities in which news can
thrive. Anything that's notable to a person in a particular moment and place
becomes newsworthy. This future journalism is less beholden to current
models of production, distribution, and advertising support--but nimble
brands still find ways to thrive. Formerly obscure companies, like Google,
Facebook, YouTube, and Wikipedia--now household names--are joined by other
powerful companies in a network of touchpoints that lets us find the
information we want as soon as we want it. News is supported by a web of
contributions from consumers, for-profits, nonprofits, distribution
partners, and other entities. Rather than eschewing risk and possible
failure, brands (at least the ones that endure) shift from a top-down model
of centralized distribution to become incubators for journalistic
experiments.
