journalism look i don't think internet journalism is killing print journalism at all but i mean i think one of the things you have to we have to understand is the internet is doing a great thing it's actually opening up the global conversation for everybody in a way that it is allowing freedom of expression in a way which we could never have imagined twenty years ago and that's a great thing it's a great thing for democracy it's great for journalism but the fact the matter is that when a blogger is writing a piece that's not journalism necessarily mean because the internet allows us to say what we want when we want how we want that free expression we love that journalism isn't the same sort of thing when we journalists work we have to work in the framework of a set of values we have to tell the truth we have to be accountable this will balance and well we have to be responsible and accountable for what we do we have to be transparent so we actually have restricted freedom of expression that's what makes journalism different from internet parties. like bloggers and others and so on and i

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

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

the lines are too blurred to say that is journalism, that is not journalism. what i am most interested in is educating students to develop a critical awareness and thinking ability to parse out what is good information and what is not. >> moving on to mark adkins of the "san francisco chronicle." we had a conversation about the chronicle. it was threatening to close, saying it was losing $1 million a week. you have made massive cuts since then. how has that affected the quality of your coverage? >> one of the thing that is exciting is that people are so passionate about news, about the chronicle, a number of people we employ. one area where we trimmed a lot of jobs in a lot of different areas of the operation, including the news room, and it is not always about the quantity of people you employ of the quality of the product in the information you put on the pages day in, day out. that is the most important thing. is the quality there on a daily basis? i look back over the last couple of years. i have only been here about a year-and-a-half, but i have been very

i have -- journalism. i have noticed a tension between the two that bloggers can't be journalists, et cetera, et cetera. >> i think bloggers very much can be journalists. i will give you a couple of examples. i would imagine one of the people that robert gibbs was expressing his outrage about was glen greenwald a constitutional lawyer who is a daily blog ger and one of the best journalists we have in the country. i don't know if glen would want to identify himself as a journalist but i see him that way because he does interviews and back check the powerful and focuses on issues and a lot of people read him. he is funny, smart and he has a cultural understanding of what is happening across the board in this country and around the world. i think it helps that he doesn't live here. he blogs from brazil where he lives. but he covers the united states. and i think in a way that helps because he doesn't get sucked into the vortex of the washington culture. the other great unsung hero of online journalism is a yo

such as the ethics, laws and history of journalism.articular emphasis is put on improving their writing skills. medill says it closes the gap between the college classroom and real world experience. to get that experience, medill students learn how to cover a local beat in chicago neighborhoods. they leave the ivy covered buildings on the evanston campus and are in storefront newsrooms, in very complicated multi-lingual neighborhoods covering everything from education to gangs. >> and your professor says, okay, you have four hours, go do a feature story on a business in the area and write a 500-word story on deadline and then post it to the medill server and it's online. or it's on the air. students are expected to master the many steps in tv production, from editing to delivering their stories on camera. >> we look at wheelchair rugby and its tough players. >> so why go to a journalism school as opposed to a regular liberal arts college? >> because it's liberal arts plus what you need to get into journalism. journalists must have soli

your comment about the two schools of journalism and reaching out, getting quality journalism to the public, how will we do that? >> we have a couple of issues here. the old school and the new school. i guess the question would be -- is there a standard? a single standard anymore for journalism? >> i do not know who sets that standard anymore. frightening, sometimes, to hear the fact that the most trusted name in news is jon stewart. but who can argue that there is not some good quality reporting and information that goes on on a show like that? i think it will be far reaching. we have young people, both in print and on the internet. it is a wide range of opportunity. i do not know that there is any one standard today that anyone could point to that would be the single source. >> what about the chronicle right now? reducing $1 million per week, what does that look like right now? >> thank goodness we are not losing $1 million per week today. i am happy to say that. to give you an idea, fourth quarter of last year, in the toughest economic times of this country that we have seen since

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

that is real journalism. real journalists sometimes lose their job because of the risk that they have taken, and the stories that they have done. i think we need those kinds of courageous journalists that are willing to take those chances. it comes with consequences, but we could also systemically look at trying to negotiate greater autonomy for student-run media outlets. i remember at the university of wisconsin there were two big publications. one was controlled by the university and the other was independently funded, and actually started by william f. buckley. it became an independent newspaper. i think it has substantially more independence than the more liberal-leaning paper on that campus did. in a way, it is a microcosm -- a microcosm of a media ownership in this country. for ank we have time fo couple more. >> i am from the "f word." is a way to force the truth on people, or is there another way on -- we can go about that. >> s stephen colbert said, "truth has a liberal bias." [laughter] i think we c

saturday's "will street journal -- "wall street journal"spoke about someone picking five of their favorite books to read in your case, the five best were who showed the best statesmanship in the white house. how does this work? >> i cannot remember if it was an e-mail or a phone call from someone at the wall street journal. she had read my book, or at least seen it. she wanted me to do one of these lists. it was not clear what kind of list it would be. i asked if she could give me 45 minutes to think about this. i got back in touch with her and told i could give her the top five books on eisenhower or i could give her the top five books on presidents and foreign policy. she said that was a good idea. i chose five books that demonstrate how presidents conduct foreign policy. >> the first one on your list is "hands-off." you said it was a graceful account of the origins and later history of the monroe doctrine which, in 1823, declare the western hemisphere off- limits to european colonial expansion. the doctrine did more than survive to terms, it became a permanent policy. >> after that list

"washington journal" is next. . . just as democrats and fighting to hold on to their majority in an election are ready defined by mistrust of washington. ethics is one of the issues that concern -- november election -- the federal page of "the washington post" has this headline. also the front page of "the wall street journal" has this had line. birmingham, michigan, mike on the republican line. which issue will impact your vote in november? caller: yes, it well. i want to thank c-span for what you are doing. as a republican, i am very much disappointed how much -- the things the republicans are doing. you can't vote against extending my on and on the benefits and then both -- vote for the continued tax reduction for the 2 percent of the rich. i think i will have to go with the democrats this time because the republicans have turned into a party of no, no solutions for anything. just hating, hating. it doesn't do anything. i was just talking to my son -- he is happy because of that attitude is that, you know, he is 24

. >> i think the idea of gateway journalism, of big networks and big newspapers being the only voices on the landscape, is over. >> this idea of what is credible ultimately comes down to who do you trust. who has been trustwory? >> from the knight studios at the newseum in washington, d.c., i'm frank sesno. hello, and welcome to "the future of news," our conversation about old and new media and what it means for news and for all of us in the digital age. i'm happy to be joined today by 2 award-winning journalists in the world of international reporting. ann curry of nbc news may be best known for her work on the "today" show and "dateline," but she's also distinguished herself in global humanitarian reporting. she reported on the crisis in darfur when few western reporters were there and has returned to africa repeatedly to cover the conflicts in sudan, chad, and the congo. she's also reported from the middle east and from iran for that country's presidential election. charles sennott, longtime foreign correspondent for the "boston globe," was bureau chief in both jerusalem and london

are they always following the rules you and i were taught in journalism school? no, they're not, but are they doing an important thing in their community? and you see that--this is john king speaking more as a parent than a journalist right now--you see that in the number of hits on people who go to the school committee. what are they reading, what are they serving at lunch? and that is a service, and will journalism catch up and say, "well, so many people are looking at that parents' blog. maybe we need to send a reporter back to the school committee"? i hope so. >> that's the glass half full version of this, right, that that democratization reaches the newsroom, and newsrooms with those resources say, "we need to respond to that." the other part of the glass half full is that while citizen "q" does not have an editor in the traditional sense, the public is that person's editor, and so if they mess up, they'll hear from it from their friends and neighbors. does that actually happen that way? >> it does happen that way. you know, on youtube, we like to say that e

"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. u.s. economic growth slowed in the second quarter of the year. the government released the gross domestic product figures on friday which is the broadest measure of the size and strength of the u.s. economy. it shows growth slowed to an annual pace of 2.4%, the most sluggish showing in nearly a year. the move partly due to weaker spending by consumers. the dow broke a four-day winning streak on wednesday and fell again on thursday. the market's moves mostly following earnings news. most of that earnings news was pretty positive. corporate profits strong and exxon mobil, visa, merck ask dupont. fedex beat expectations as well and it upped its guidance for the rest of the year. the federal reserve survey of economic activity throughout the country showed growth slowed slightly or held stead ney most locations. the fed's beige book also showed labor conditions were slowly improving. en

is our political journalism better and getting better or worse? jim? >> it's better and getting better. that's not one word. >> it's different, and it has e ability to get better. >> we end on an optimistic note, then. thank you, jim vandenhei of politico, sam donaldson of abc news. it's been a pleasure, as always. join us next time for "the future of news" from the knight studio. i'm frank sesno.

i think an awful lot of literary journalism as well as political journalism is directed at a small, interlockingudience. they are scoring points. they are responding to something that appeared last year. i do not think the general reader is aware of that were -- or interested. i believe it is a disservice. >> the title of the book is "architects of power: roosevelt. eisenhower and the american century". philip terzian, the key for -- thank you for joining us. >> thank you. it was a pleasure. >> for a dvd copy of this program call 1-877-662-7726. for free transcripts or to give us your comments about this program, visit us at q&a.org. episodes are also available as c-span podcasts.

look like they might change journalism altogether if not change or wake it up. because what we think leaks has done is what journalists should have done. you know here here is this dreadful litany of years of of disaster and killing in afghanistan and i'm in the wrong. and i don't think we've gotten a sense and they've got a sense of the disaster but i don't think we've got a sense of the real. the the political disaster the the behind the the human disaster in afghanistan that's what we call leaks is has given us. i think it says to journalists. separate us separate you know so from the word of authority and start becoming independent it's an extraordinary moment and what about the internet in general do you think in terms of new subclassing more traditional media like newspapers and document chains yes i do and i mean it shouldn't subvert them but it is and is doing that which it really should compliment them. because you know the into my own journalistic habits every day of change radically i used to get up in the morning and read all the newspapers now i go

"washington journal" continues. host: we are continuing our summer series here on your screen as lieutenant general michael hough, who was with the air force from 1999 to 2001. we're looking at the have-35. in the 2011 defense budget, there is about 10 they dollars earmarked for this program, which would buy abroad -- $10 billion earmarked for this program, which would buy about $10.7 billion, or 42 aircraft. in the current budget there is an estimated $323 billion. each of these has a cost ranging from $59 million to $112 million per plane. why do we need this aircraft? guest: the answer is are actually very easy answer. what has happened over the last 30, 40 years, we have had a lot of generation 3, generation for aircraft like the f-16 and a couple of others that preceded them, what is happening is that all of these aircraft, tomorrow, they will probably be untouched in capability. the problem is that they will be on a sunset posture. meaning, they will be retired. production lines do not make them anymore. they
