journalism academies in the hyper globalism journal, it is there and the advice for nonprofit working at the new media center? >> we can give that question to barry. maybe you can give her some advice? >> there are a lot of challenges in community media right now. i have been trying to get our local station to work with us to figure out how to work together to get things going in the community. one of the challenges right now that the media landscape has is that it has been remade for lot of the other stations. these folks that are doing educational government television right now are rooted in ratings in a lot of cases. anyone can be broadcaster and no one wants access to the channel anymore. really, we are just at the beginning of this. for example, i no longer have cable. i get all of my television of the web. that is not on the -- that is not an unusual situation. >> [unintelligible] first of all, back to the question of diversity, the fact that we even have to talk about diversity and employing people who represent that range of diversity, in this day and age, is incredible to me

this is not just about journalism, but journalism and technology. the last thing i would say is it is going to take hard work. wherever we see it, non-profit, for-profit, we need to trial, innovate, make mistakes, learn from them, get back up, and keep on going. >> indeed. paul connelly of the tcc group. has foundation funding risen -- did it fall in the recession? what has happened for media coverage? >> foundation funding over the past four years has increased. it has been about $140 million of investment according to do research. we have also seen changes in the type of donor and founder. more individuals, such as wealthy donors starting propublica. there is another website, spotus, which collects donations to shed light on journalism. so it is not just the night foundation, mccormick foundation, but founders who are interested in democracy, civic engagement, such as open society institute, community foundations. they are supporting a similar project in san diego. so the pool of the founders and donors has expanded. >> some good news on the first

>> they believe in journalism, among other things. they and the leadership are embarked on an effort to expand the funding base and so it is not dependent upon anyone. they are active democrats. i defy you if you read the output of it to identify a partisan agenda. >> why do many conservatives look at "the new york times" and say -- that his words started -- it is a liberal newspaper. you dealt with it probably every day. >> i think there are a number of reasons for it. "the new york times" is unabashedly liberal newspaper on the op-ed pages. it takes liberal editorial stance. its lineup of regular columnists is overwhelmingly liberal. even its one reliably conservative columnist david brooks is an iconoclast who does not fit any category easily. another person's who looks to be a developing conservative columnist does not fallen to reclassification. but, i think the impact of the editorial and op-ed pages and tend to create an aura that can spread over the paper. it is also true -- "the new york times" is published in new york. over

we talk about big "j" journalism and small "j" journalism. i think the big "j" journalism is doing a lot of repetition on the national front. i think they don't find a lot of small "j" journalism happening in their communities. >> what is the--where is that small "j" journalism happening? >> i think what's starting to happen, and it's very robust right now, is that we see both professionals and amateur journalists, so-called citizen journalists, starting to fill in the gaps of that coverage and starting to create community news sit, hyr local news sites, investigative news sites, niche newsites that have a lot of journalistic dna. it might not do journalism the way i was taught in journalism school, but it's also not irresponsible either. >> well, there's a lot of things happening online that are fun and fast and new, and i want to go over to our touch screen really fast to show you one of those sites is newser.com. they're an aggregator with brains, and they want you to read less but know more. how do they accomplish that? well, through thei

it was the most influential and then " if the wall street journal -- and then "the wall street journal." it was very different from today. there were five networks. "usa today" did not exist. "life" magazine and millions no longer exists. the media world is quite different. fair are many new voices. in many respects, i think that is healthy, but the danger for any society is if you do not have a core of shared facts and values, i think there is a great danger for the society, and i do worry about that. >> in a speech, the writer said hoyt defended the sources for a necessary evil, and i have some stuff. would you feel about anonymous sources? >> i would defend the use of anonymous sources in certain circumstances, and i think they are necessary. they are necessary -- for example, a couple years ago, a story revealed the bush administration's extralegal system of eavesdropping on american citizens, of electronic eavesdropping, and i know many people regarded that story as traitorous. i believe it was an important story and led to a lot of changes. that story could not have been written

he is a pioneer in journalism and he created the publication in 1970. this is a bilingual noncommercial newspaper in san francisco's mission district. he created it in order to encourage latino students to choose careers in journalism. mr. gonzalez chairs the department of journalism at the city college of san francisco where he taught the first college course on hispanic journalism and where he currently serves as an advisor to the campus newspaper. mr. gonzalez is also a founding member of the national association of hispanic journalists, the national association of hispanic publications, the association of media alternatives, the national association of third-world journalists, bay area chapter, and also he is part of new america media. mr. gonzalez is also the director of the voices for justice project that will document the history of the latino presence in the u.s. by producing a film, a book, and a website. what's very interesting is that you still see mr. gonzalez in the mission talking to young people, speaking in english and in spanish, or som

we're not doing things the way i studied journalism. bloggers have a big influence.he video journalists are now rolling and most every station has them. what are your thoughts on the evolution of your former industry? >> i think the bar has been lowered. i think that when you have a professional journalist and professional cameraman or camerawoman going out to cover a story, it's better if they each focus on what they're doing versus what is happening now which is to send one person to do all duties and that's just not what brought television journalism or the journalism we knew in television, that's not what brought it to the pinnacle that it reached. so as someone who i think went through the best years of television journalism, the '70s, '80s and '90s. it's painful to watch. i'm able to watch it now because i'm retired. not that i'm home watching news but i am able to watch it if and when i want to. it's bothersome to see what is happening. i understand the reasons it's happening. i understand that it is economic. but when you lower the bar on something that is pa

"the wall street journal report." now maria bartiromo. >>> here's a look at what's making news as we head into a new week on wall street. a massive yore haul othe nation's financial system is now law. president obama signed a sweeping reform act just this past week which was enacted in response to the financial crisis that began in 2008. the law creates a council of federal regulators that oversee the system and defect risk. financial entities whose failures hamper the system and housed within the federal reserve. earnings drove the markets higher most of the week last week. the dow snapping a two-day losing streak on monday and rose again on tuesday and on thursday on strong profit news. the markets continued up on friday. not all of the earnings news was good. some big companies falling short on revenue expectations including johnson & johnson, ibm, yahoo and amazon.com. but most companies did come ahead of analyst expectations, apple had a blowout quarter for one, coca-cola, wells fargo, morgan stanley all beating

, whether it's citizen journalism or it's the professional journalism, some variation on that that we have grown up to see, how do you imagine changes coming to bear? >> the most fundamental purpose of this initiative is to listen more to the voices of the american people in the functioning of our democracy. we will have better public policy if more individuals are engaged. how do we create that engagement? well, we make it frictionless. the more we make available online, the more we hope third parties and others will help inform their constituencies, and if we make it as easy as possible for their voices to then be heard in washington, we believe we'll inform with better public policy. >> all this talk about accessibility and greater engagement with your government is moot if you don't have digital access. we spoke to alberto ibarguen. he's the head of the knight foundation, one of the most influential organizations funding journalism programs for the digital age. >> during the eisenhower administration, the decision was made to create the interstate highway system. eisenhower didn't
