Behind the Bylines: What the abolitionist press still teaches us (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On Wednesday, I had the privilege of participating in Fitchburg State University’s Abolitionist Park Teach-In. I took one of my classes to the park for an outdoor conversation about the abolitionist press and how historically journalism and printing served as instruments of social change. The abolitionist journalists of the nineteenth century worked in a very different media environment from the one we know today. Many were also advocates, organizers, and agitators who made no secret of what the

My journalism students and I are about to discuss trust. We will examine how readers judge a story, what evidence a reporter owes the public, and what happens when a news organization gets something wrong. President Donald Trump has supplied yet another important case study. What happens when distrust of the press becomes a reason to keep reporters out, not just to access information, but to our ability to scrutinize either institution.

Read excerpt
At the start of each semester, I ask my journalism students what news they consume, how they consume it, and why. Inevitably, we end up talking about paywalls and the avoidance of journalism that requires subscriptions. What follows is often a vibrant discussion about value. Discourse in the classroom yesterday got me thinking about the dichotomy between what we say we value and what we’re willing to support monetarily. It is clear we have become very comfortable paying for things built for and
Behind the Bylines: Journalists cannot demand trust they haven’t earned (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A notice recently circulated in a community I belong to instructing members not to speak with journalists without first receiving authorization from the organization’s leadership. As a journalist and journalism professor, this notice rubbed me the wrong way. I wrote to the organization’s leadership outlining what I felt was an important distinction between deciding who may speak officially for an institution and suggesting that individual members need permission to speak for themselves. At the v
