📣 The second video for the ISOJ Time Machine series is here! In her presentation at the International Symposium on Online Journalism (ISOJ) in 2002, the late MJ Bear, then-new media consultant, American University adjunct professor and former NPR Vice President for online operations, emphasized the significance of the internet for journalism while stressing its disadvantages. “One of the great things about the internet, bringing new ways to communicate with audiences, is probably also one of the biggest downfalls–technology is one of our downfalls,” she said. Fast forward to today, and Bear’s words have taken on a new sense of urgency. The rise of technologies like artificial intelligence and social media have both facilitated and complicated the journalism landscape. In the second installment of our ISOJ Time Machine video series, in which we highlight what journalism leaders had to say about technology during previous ISOJ conferences, we go back to 2002 and 2003, showing that topics of debate then remain relevant today, more than two decades later.

TIME like all other “news outlets” which purport to report stories objectively of general social or subject matter interest is being held accountable for the breaches of the Industry Standards, Conflation to Defame, the Tort of Outrage and Disseminating Disinformation with an intention to cause damage and or generate “Click-Bait” Revenue. The newly filed action names the tortious journalist, Jamie Ducharme, and demands of TIME responsible and objective articles and or reporting. Based upon natural and Constitutional law it also creates credibility for the Plaintiff Trenton Garmon having made evident the underlying social grace and the scheme to defame. Litigation will ensue with a Jury Demand being included in the filed Complaint. Objectively TIME loses credibility notwithstanding the result of the litigation given the failure to offer rebuttal objective considerations and perhaps guice of a questionable radical religious practice not associated with Christianity. A Jury could award up to Twenty Million Dollars should expert analysis and or comparative power disparity analysis be considered by the Citizens sufficient to ‘send a message’ as the Giant Time has a readership of 105 Million it claims — which is likely bogus. “Today, TIME reaches the largest audience in its history — more than 105 million people around the world across its platforms — and its iconic magazine, with more than 1 million subscribers, remains the largest U.S. print title in news." https://lnkd.in/gUxfAXby Garmon intends in litigation to obtain by discovery the site and platform views, bot comparisons, actual bounce rates, AI algorithm webcrawlers distrinction which are not readers. Notwithstanding if 105 Million readers/views are true — as TIME boasts — paying $20 million would be a mere $1 per person for 20% of the claimed readership. Those damages were pled. End of Note — Garmon v. Time — Etowah County Circuit Court in Gadsden, Alabama (#donttreadonme)

Journalism’s first obligation is to the truth -------------------------------------------------------------- Good decision-making depends on people having reliable, accurate facts put in a meaningful context. Journalism does not pursue truth in an absolute or philosophical sense, but in a capacity that is more down to earth. “All truths – even the laws of science – are subject to revision, but we operate by them in the meantime because they are necessary and they work,” Kovach and Rosenstiel write in the book. Journalism, they continue, thus seeks “a practical and functional form of truth.” It is not the truth in the absolute or philosophical or scientific sense but rather a pursuit of “the truths by which we can operate on a day-to-day basis.” This “journalistic truth” is a process that begins with the professional discipline of assembling and verifying facts. Then journalists try to convey a fair and reliable account of their meaning, subject to further investigation. Journalists should be as transparent as possible about sources and methods so audiences can make their own assessment of the information. Even in a world of expanding voices, “getting it right” is the foundation upon which everything else is built – context, interpretation, comment, criticism, analysis and debate. The larger truth, over time, emerges from this forum. As citizens encounter an ever-greater flow of data, they have more need – not less – for suppliers of information dedicated to finding and verifying the news and putting it in context. #journalism
