What ProPublica Is Doing About Diversity in 2017

| ProPublica: Articles and Investigations | March 21st 2017

by Lena Groeger and Sisi Wei

We have written before about the steps ProPublica is taking to increase the diversity of our workplace as well as in the journalism community more broadly. In 2017, we remain committed to recruiting and retaining people from communities that have long been underrepresented not only in journalism but particularly in investigative journalism. That includes African Americans, Latinos, other people of color, women, LGBTQ people, people with disabilities and people of underrepresented faiths. Now, more than ever, it is crucial to have a newsroom filled with people from a broad range of backgrounds and perspectives.

Here’s What We’re Doi...

We’ve continued and expanded many of the programs and scholarships we started in 2015. Specifically:

The Emerging Reporters Program, which offers grants to college students of color who are interested in doing great journalism, is in its second year. Learn more about these talented journalists.

The ProPublica Data Institute, which is an all-expenses-paid two-week workshop we host at our New York offices that teaches journalists how to use data, design and coding for their own stories. This year we are excited to be partnering with the Ida B. Wells Society for Investigative Reporting. The application deadline is March 31st, so there is still time to apply if you’re interested.

We’re again offering $500 scholarships for students to attend the conferences of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, National Association of Black Journalists, the Asian American Journalists Association and the Native American Journalists Association. Last year we sent five extremely talented students to Washington, D.C., for the joint NAHJ/NABJ convention. This year we plan to expand that to 12 students. We'll be announcing the applications for these scholarships soon.

For the third year in a row, we'll be pairing journalists of color with managing editors, executive editors and other top journalists at our ONA Diversity Mentorship Breakfast. Be on the lookout for when our applications for this program open later this summer.

Here’s a Breakdown of Our Newsroom

On my path to mastery

I am a graduate student at Full Sail University. I am pursuing my Master degree in Internet Marketing. I have experience in Communications. I had worked as a journalist for different medias, specially Broadcasting. I had focused in the Hispanic community as I am fluent in both languages, English and Spanish. Through the years of my Professional career I have developed many talents and still do. The world we are living in does not allow to focus in one talent only. Today’s technology has stablished so strong that forces us to stay up to date on its advances. Those that don’t, will stay behind.

I am the co-owner and Marketing Director of AudioGraph International (AGI). We are an AVID Pro School authorized to certify students and professionals as AVID Pro Tools operator and experts. My job demands to be current on the latest of Marketing strategies, social media, and e-commerce. I have been self-taught with Internet materials, attending workshops, and networking. I have learned but not to the point that I desire. When I started looking for where to pursue my higher studies I felt in love with the Full Sail curriculum and the time frame.

This is the second week of classes and I am not only learning about exciting things, but I am more content about myself. Through the years of my professional life I have gone through the levels of attaining mastery. (Greene, 2010). I have been through the apprenticeship and creative-active levels in different ramifications of my professional life, but now I am ready to attain mastery. Let’s break a leg, my friends!

Week in Reviews. Week in Theater News. Week in Theater Videos.

#Stageworthy News of the Week.

The Fall season has officially begun, but the theater season is shaping up as the most unusual, certainly the most uncertain, in our lifetimes. A major difference: It’ll unfold day by day…and, for the foreseeable future, it’ll do so almost entirely online.

“There’s so much I don’t know,” Adam Greenfield, the incoming artistic director of Playwrights Horizons, told Alexis Soloski in the New York Times. (There’ll Be a Theater Season. But How and Where and When?)

This week will mark six months since theater buildings were shut down. As other arts and cultural venues are already starting to reopen, the smart money is on another six months — at least — before theaters do.

“The earliest estimates for some of New York’s concert halls and theaters to resume are spring 2021; a few new productions, such as “The Music Man” with Hugh Jackman and “Plaza Suite” with Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker, have announced early spring beginnings on Broadway. Even so, those involved in the planning say privately that it could be autumn 2021 before venues reopen,” writes Peter Marks in an article in the Washington Post detailing the unexpected complexity of reopening. (New York City can’t rebound without Broadway. And Broadway’s road back is uncertain, accompanied by a depressing photograph)

Still, if the buildings are shut, theater itself has not only continued; by going online, it has expanded its reach: “Arts organizations are reporting massive increases in online audiences driven by viewers and participants who have never set foot inside their buildings,” Hannah Grannemann concludes in an Arts Journal blog, after looking at the numbers.

There is good reason to assume this will continue, and there will be a season, however unorthodox. The New York Theatre Workshop is handing over the budget to “artistic instigators” and asking the audience to follow along with their works-in-progress whatever and whenever it might be. The Alliance Theater of Atlanta announced its 2020-2021 season as a mix of drive-in theater, radio plays, shows on a new streaming platform. But however different from past years, season announcements have begun — Steppenwolf’s, the National Black Theater’s 52nd season

Meanwhile, there is enough theater opening in September to fill my monthly calendar.

Will there now be more theater about workers?

On past Labor Days, I’ve asked: Where are the American plays about unions, or workers, or even just workplaces? But now that “arts workers” have turned Labor Day into an #ArtsWorkersUnited Day of Action, the question becomes: Will COVID-19, the shutdown of theaters, and the strident new labor consciousness of the theater community change what we see on stage?

"News Brief: June updates from the Google News Initiative"

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the news community has rapidly adjusted to new working conditions and challenges. But their core mission of providing quality information remains unchanged. We’re expanding our resources to help drive revenue growth for newsrooms, supporting journalists through fellowship programs and adapting online resources to help grow editorial and verification skills. Here’s what the Google News Initiative launched in June.

Expanding global trainings for journalists

Over the coming weeks, we’ll offer a number of free week-long training series on YouTube to help journalists grow their digital reporting skills. The sessions will be available in multiple languages and time zones. Through YouTube’s live chat, journalists will be able to interact with our trainers and get answers to any questions they have on how to use our tools for reporting.

Across Australia and New Zealand, we worked with First Draft News and the Walkley Foundation to launch live training sessions for journalists, including one in partnership with Grow with Google. We also kicked off a regional publishers pilot program aimed at supporting regional and emerging publishers in their digital transition, and appointed Neil Varcoe, our first ever Publishing Fellow. For the next 12 months, Neil will provide training and support to regional and emerging publishers across Australia and New Zealand.

To support news organizations during the ongoing pandemic, we organized a GNI training series for Southeast Asia in English, Mandarin Chinese and Malay featuring classes like Fact-Checking for COVID-19 Misinformation, Digital Tools for More Efficient Reporting and Data Journalism for Rookies. In Vietnam, we organized a dedicated webinar for more than 100 media organizations to share how our products can help support local media.

New tools and programs to boost revenue growth for publishers

We’re partnering with the French Association of Online Publishers (GESTE) and Poool to support the Digital Media Review, a benchmark tool made available for free to all publishers to assist them with their revenue strategy.

In partnership with the Institute for Nonprofit News (INN), we’re exploring new ways to help nonprofit newsrooms grow sponsorship revenue into a sustainable, cost-effective income source. Through the program, a cohort of up to 10 newsrooms will receive one-on-one coaching, and all 250 INN members will have access to a custom playbook that includes best practices for increasing sponsorship revenue.

We’re also working with local media organizations to grow advertising revenue through cohort-based programs. In Indonesia, we worked with AnyMind Group and PT Promedia Punggawa Satu to help seven local media organizations optimize their websites, improve their user experiences and develop revenue strategies through online advertising. In North America, we’ll be working with 10up to host a four-part workshop series, sharing lessons from the GNI Ad Revenue Lab and key strategies to monetize content. The workshops will begin on July 22, and we invite all small-to-midsize news publishers to join the conversation by RSVPing on our website.

Encouraging future journalists through the GNI Fellowship program

The Google News Initiative Fellowship program seeks to bring young talent into newsrooms to help kickstart their careers in journalism. Applications are now open for the U.S. Fellowship program, created in collaboration with the National Newspapers Publishers Association, the National Association of Hispanic Publishers and the Association of Alternative Newsmedia. The fall program in the U.S. is designed to address the barriers of access that students and graduates of color face when trying to get into the industry.

The 2020 GNI Fellowship in Europe also kicked off this week as part of our ongoing work with the European Journalism Centre (EJC). Following more than 1,400 applications, leading European news organizations across 14 countries will host 40 fellows in an eight-week fellowship. The cohort of fellows includes aspiring media professionals with a range of backgrounds in fields like journalism, design, computer science and philosophy.

Collaborating with fact-checkers to combat misinformation

The seventh Global Fact-Checking Summit took place entirely online, with more than 950 participants from more than 70 countries. Most panels from the International Fact-Checking Network’s annual conference are accessible on the event’s dedicated website. The Google News Initiative has supported Global Fact continuously since 2017; earlier this year the GNI also provided $6.5M to efforts fighting COVID-19 misinformation globally.

That’s a wrap for June. Stay tuned for more updates, and follow along on social media and the GNI’s newsletter.

Police pull over black driver less frequently after dark

Police pull over black drivers more frequently than whites during the day, but not after sunset, when “a veil of darkness” masks their race, according to an analysis of 95 million traffic stop records.

The five-year study, the largest ever of alleged racial profiling during traffic stops, looked at stops filed by officers with 21 state patrol agencies and 35 municipal police forces from 2011 to 2018.

The study also found that when officers pull drivers over, they search the cars of blacks and Hispanics more often than whites. The researchers also examined a subset of data from Washington and Colorado, two states that legalized marijuana, and found that while this change resulted in fewer searches overall, and thus fewer searches of blacks and Hispanics, minorities still had their cars searched more often than whites after a pull-over.

“Our results indicate that police stop and search decisions suffer from persistent racial bias, and point to the value of policy interventions to mitigate these disparities,” the researchers write in the journal Nature Human Behaviour.

Traffic stops for black drivers

The paper culminates a five-year collaboration between Stanford University’s Cheryl Phillips, a journalism lecturer whose graduate students obtained the raw data through public records requests, and Sharad Goel, a professor of management science and engineering whose computer science team organized and analyzed the data.

Goel and his collaborators, including Ravi Shroff, a professor of applied statistics at New York University, spent years culling through the data, eliminating incomplete records and those from the wrong time periods, to create the 95-million-record database that served as the basis for their analysis. “There is no way to overstate the difficulty of that task,” Goel says.

Creating that database enabled the team to find the statistical evidence that a “veil of darkness” partially immunized blacks against traffic stops. That term and idea has existed since 2006 when it researchers used it in a study that compared the race of 8,000 drivers in Oakland, California, stopped at any time of day or night over a six-month period. But the findings from that study were inconclusive because the sample was too small to prove a link between the darkness of the sky and the race of the stopped drivers.

For the current study, researchers decided to repeat the analysis using the much larger dataset that they had gathered. First, they narrowed the range of variables they had to analyze by choosing a specific time of day—around 7 pm—when the probable causes for a stop were more or less constant.

Next, they took advantage of the fact that, in the months before and after daylight saving time each year, the sky gets a little darker or lighter, day by day. Because they had such a massive database, the researchers could find 113,000 traffic stops, from all of the locations in their database, that occurred on those days, before or after clocks sprang forward or fell back, when the sky was growing darker or lighter at around 7 pm local time.

This dataset provided a statistically valid sample with two important variables—the race of the stopped driver, and the darkness of the sky at around 7 pm. The analysis left no doubt that the darker it got, the less likely it became that an officer would stop a black driver. The reverse was true when the sky was lighter.

Keeping tabs on police

More than any single finding, the collaboration’s most lasting impact may come from the Stanford Open Policing Project, which the researchers started to make their data available to investigative and data-savvy reporters, and to hold workshops to help reporters learn how to use the data to do local stories.

For example, the researchers helped reporters at the Seattle-based non-profit news organization, Investigate West, understand the patterns in the data for stories showing bias in police searches of Native Americans.

That reporting prompted the Washington State Patrol to review its practices and boost officer training. Similarly, the researchers helped reporters at the Los Angeles Times analyze data that showed how police searched minority drivers far more often than whites. It resulted in a story that was part of a larger investigative series that prompted changes in Los Angeles Police Department practices.

“All told we’ve trained about 200 journalists, which is one of the unique things about this project,” Phillips says.

Goel and Phillips plan to continue collaborating through a project called Big Local News that will explore how data science can shed light on public issues, such as civil asset forfeitures—instances in which law enforcement is authorized to seize and sell property associated with a crime.

Gathering and analyzing records of when and where such seizures occur, to whom, and how such property is disposed will help shed light on how this practice is being used. Big Local News is also working on collaborative efforts to standardize information from police disciplinary cases.

“These projects demonstrate the power of combining data science with journalism to tell important stories,” Goel says.

Additional coauthors are from Stanford. The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and by the Hellman Foundation funded the work.

CNBC Hosts Business Reporting Workshop to Recruit at #EIJ17

NBCUniversal’s business network CNBC hosted a news cycle simulation workshop to teach attendees about the network’s daily operations. The fast-paced, hour-and-a-half breaking news workshop ended with a two-minute speed interviewing session for tbe Business News Associate program position at CNBC headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, N.J.

University of Houston graduate Ilse Hernandez is one of about 30 students selected for the workshop after a competitive process of interviews and a writing test. She says she applied hoping it would lead to a position at CNBC.

“It was a good learning experience because I want to be a producer,” Hernandez said.

CNBC vice president of talent development and senior executive producer Mary Duffy moderated a panel with some of the company’s experts, like Nasdaq reporter Bertha Coombs, assistant managing editor Ellen Egeth and editorial director of digital properties Matthew Rosoff. The panelists discussed their teams’ editorial processes, such as morning meeting pitches for the assignment desk, social media strategy and how CNBC merges television content with digital.

The workshop had attendees simulate a day’s news cycle. Teams of participants were paired with a member of the CNBC panel and they discussed breaking news stories of the day. Participants then pitched their stories to the panel, simulating the CNBC editorial process for multiple platforms.

Workshop attendee pitching a business stories to a panel of CNBC professionals

Nicholas Kjeldgaard of NBC7 San Diego says the workshop was a great opportunity to hear from the producers and talent. “It’s a lot to learn about every single aspect of it,” Kjeldgaard said.” Not just the broadcast side but also the web and digital and social media.”

Ayanna Runcie, a recent graduate of the Columbia School of Journalism, says she wishes she had more time with recruiters. “I think the two-minute interview was great because she was very approachable and I was able to have a conversation. Only thing is I just wish is was longer,” Runcie said.

National Association of Hispanic Journalists president Brandon Benavides helped bring the workshop to EIJ to connect the company with diverse candidates.

“This is something that has been ongoing,” Benavides said. “I’m happy that they’re doing it. We are working to continue the partnership together.”

CNBC even brought out the carpet president Obama walked on for his presidential debate, which Mary Duffy said they now use to welcome other presidential candidates and CNBC Business News Associate attendees.

Rush Limbaugh -> Unhinged Drive-Bys Become Even More Unhinged

Rush Limbaugh on the Barack Hussein Obama Shadow Government coup

Rush USA Flag at HoaxAndChange.com

rush-limbaugh @ Old Guard Audio

Feb 16, 2017

RUSH: The president with a press conference today was originally scheduled for noon, and then they moved it to 12:30. I wonder why. They’ve moved it to 12:30, and the ostensible purpose of the press conference is to announce the new labor secretary pick.

He is Alexander Acosta. He’s obviously Hispanic. He clerked to Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. He’s a former member of the labor board. That’s the primary purpose. Now, I don’t know in Trump’s gonna take any questions outside of this. I only see one podium there, so they’re not gonna give the labor secretary his own podium.

Folks, it is hilarious, the Drive-Bys are up in arms. They’re claiming that Trump is destroying the conversation by not calling on ’em. At the press conference yesterday with Bibi Netanyahu, the president called on Katie Pavlich of Townhall, who, by the way, is a Never Trumper. Katie Pavlich, she doesn’t like Trump, she never has liked Trump. I don’t know if she’s moderated on Trump now.

My brother knows her very, very well. I’ve never met her, but apparently she’s a Never Trumper and hasn’t moderated much and so Trump called on somebody that doesn’t agree with him. She’s from Townhall, the editor-in-chief there. And then he called on somebody from the Christian Broadcast Network, and the Drive-Bys, ABC, NBC, CNN, CBS, they are just livid. Trump is violating the Constitution by not calling on them.

So I went to the Constitution and I looked at the First Amendment, the freedom of the press part. And I looked, I can’t find where it says presidents have to call on CNN. And I didn’t see the constitutional requirement that presidents call on NBC, CBS, or ABC.

Did you hear about Dan Rather? Dan Rather says this is worse than Watergate. Did you see Tom Friedman in the New York Times yesterday? These people, I didn’t think it was possible to become more unhinged, but they’re doing it. Tom Friedman said (imitating Friedman), “We had the attack on Pearl Harbor, and that was bad. And then we had the attack on 9/11, and that was bad. And then we had the attack on November 6th, 2016, and that was bad.” So he equated the election of Donald Trump to 9/11 and the attack on Pearl Harbor, and he’s still employed there. This is insanity. And, of course, Thomas L. Friedman, the L. stands for Loopy, is considered one of the deans of the establishment press corps.

I wouldn’t expect you to remember this, but I remember early on in the Obama administration, do you remember the first two or three months he would have these workshops at the White House in the big room, I think it was the East Room. He’d have like a summit on jobs and then a summit on Gitmo and a summit on this, a summit on that, and he would bring in a bunch of academics and media — well, not too many media types, but he would bring in specialists and he’d have a group in all the four corners of the room. And they would work for two or three hours, say, on jobs. And at the end of the day they would report to Obama and the problem would be solved.

There’d be a two or three hour job summit and they’d all tell Obama what they’d done, what they talked about, what brilliant ideas they’d put on paper and then Obama would announce another successful jobs summit and everybody, “Oh, man, this guy is really cool, we fixed jobs!” Well, Friedman was at one of these things. I said, “Friedman?” He’s a columnist. He believes that the ChiComs are setting the pace for the world. I never understood something about Friedman. Friedman believes in climate change, believes that the U.S. is destroying the world, yet you go to China and you’ll die from pollution, and yet he loves these people.

At any rate, I’m asking myself, “What’s Friedman doing there?” It was typical. Folks, this was your average egghead establishment academic theoreticians that have never gotten their hands dirty, much less dirt under their fingernails unless it’s playing golf, getting your tee out of the ground, that’s it. And Obama, they had cameras and they’re televising some of this, and Obama is traveling the entire room, he stops in one corner and visits a group there, and they look up admiringly at him and report their progress.

“Yes, Mr. President, we’re having a great conversation here on jobs. Many, many ideas are being circulated.” Obama, “Very good, very good.” And he’d go off to the next corner and talk to the next group, and Friedman was in one of those groups. I said, “What’s he doing there?” They all thought they mattered and they all thought they were making a difference. But more than that, there’s a term for this that I cannot say on the air. You’ve heard of the term. It’s… The first word is “star” and the last word describes an act that in some instances produces a child and in others produces an abortion.

So you have the star or the celebrity or whatever, and I thought, “This is a room full of these people, and at the end of the day they haven’t done diddly-squat. But they really are feeling special, like they really matter.” It was classic liberalism: Think about something, talk about something, hold hands, sing kumbaya — and at the end of three hours of this, think that you’ve solved a problem.

And so Friedman comes out with this piece yesterday comparing the election of Trump to the attack on America with 9/11 with 3,000 people died and the attack on Pearl Harbor, and I’m thinking (chuckles), “Jeez! All you can do is just laugh at this stuff.”

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Grab sound bite number six. The Drive-Bys are miffed that Trump is not calling on ’em. Trump is gonna take questions beyond the subject of his new labor secretary. We have a montage of the media expressing their anger at Trump not calling on them.

BROOKE BALDWIN: President Trump avoiding some of these tough questions we just alluded to, right, by calling on only conservative outlets again today. How much longer can he keep up this, uh, strategy with the media?

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN: For the third time in a row at a press conference, President Trump called on only reporters from conservative news organizations. He’s avoiding the other networks.

CECILIA VEGA: …mainstream reporters who were clearly not happy with the fact that in this press conference did not call on mainstream news organizations, is leaning heavily on calling on conservative outlets. It’s not because we’re complaining as journalists —

MAN: Yes, it is.

CECILIA VEGA: — but they’re cherry-picking the questions, basically. They’re not getting tough questions.

ALI VELSHI: Will he stay concentrated, as he has been doing, on reporters from conservative outlets who are not asking him the pressing questions?

JIM ACOSTA: All of the questions have been handled by conservative press, and I — I think, Wolf, there’s no other way to describe it but, “The fix is in.”

RUSH: How juicy is that? A Drive-By journalist whining and moaning about the fix being in because he’s not being called on. As I pointed out, Katie Pavlich was called on from Townhall. She’s not a Trump supporter. It’s just she didn’t ask him about Flynn. “That’s the only thing that matters, don’t you know? Flynn! What did Trump know and when did he know it? It’s all that matters! It’s all that matters! And if nobody asks him that, then journalism didn’t really happen,” and if journalism didn’t happen, it means nobody tried to destroy Trump.

And that is what they are upset about.

Rush Limbaugh -> Unhinged Drive-Bys Become Even More Unhinged Rush Limbaugh -> Unhinged Drive-Bys Become Even More Unhinged Feb 16, 2017 RUSH: The president with a press conference today was originally scheduled for noon, and then they moved it to 12:30.
