Support local reporting initiative
|
 | | Support Reporting |
Why is original, local news reporting still important?The changing media landscape has brought many benefits but one major problem, a contraction of accountability reporting, especially at the local level. Unless this is addressed communities will suffer. We will have less accountable institutions, more corruption and less reliable information for citizens to make important life decisions.

Hearst Speaker, Rob Curley, Monday, Sept. 17

Rob Curley Internet Punk, Media Nerd, Web GuruSept. 17, 7 p.m.Meacham Auditorium, OMUFor the last four years, Curley has held executive newsroom positions at the Las Vegas Sun and Greenspun Media Group. During that period, the Sun became the first news organization in the world to win top awards in digital journalism (the ONA and Eppy), the top award in broadcast journalism (the duPont) and the top award in print journalism (the Pulitzer). Previously, Curley was vice president of product development for Washingtonpost.Newsweek Interactive, where he led a team that developed new tools for journalists and viewers. He moved to Washington from Lawrence, Kan., where he held management positions in the online and editorial departments at the Lawrence Journal-World. The open event will kick off a semester-long study of student media offerings at OU. The study, Imagine the Future: Campus Media in a Digital Age, will help OU Student Media determine the future course of its 96-year-old independent student newspaper, The Oklahoma Daily, and its website, OUDaily.com. OU Student Media Director Brian Ringer proposed the study following announcements of dramatic change at other college newspapers last year. In July 2011, the University of Georgia's Red & Black newspaper ceased daily print publication to focus on its website, then reversed course last month. In May, the University of Oregon's Daily Emerald ceased daily publication, switching to two weekly publications and a beefed-up website. Read more about Rob CurleyA 2005 business section story in the New York Times referred to Curley's work in Lawrence as "the newspaper of the future." Check out this Fast Company magazine feature from 2006, " Hyper-Local Hero." Start following Rob now, @RobCurley.
