news-stories media goal
The Huffington Post Investigative Fund's goal is to produce a broad range of investigative journalism created by both staff reporters and freelance writers, with a focus on working with the many experienced reporters and writers impacted by the economic contraction. The pieces will range from long-form investigations to short breaking news stories and will be presented in a variety of media - including text, audio, and video.
moving media video
Moving forward, investigative journalists need to train themselves to be media amphibians - just as comfortable with the classic verities of great journalism as they are with video, Twitter, Facebook, and, most importantly, citizen journalism.
believe player media
I firmly believe in a hybrid future where old media players embrace the ways of new media (including transparency, interactivity, and immediacy), and new media companies adopt the best practices of old media (including fairness, accuracy, and high-impact investigative journalism).
media mouths filters
Mainstream media tend to just mouth the conventional wisdom, to see everything through the filter of right and left.
opportunity garden media
What won't work - what can't work - is to act like the last years never happened, and that the survival of the [mass media] industry will be found by hiding content behind walled gardens. Instead of sticking their finger in the dike, trying to hold back the flow of innovation, companies need to ride the rapids of progress and seize the opportunities it provides.
moving past media
The key question facing those of us working in the media (old and new) is whether we embrace and adapt to the radical changes brought about by the Internet or pretend that we can somehow hop into a journalistic Way Back Machine and return to a past that no longer exists and can't be resurrected. There is no question that, as the industry moves forward and we figure out the new rules of the road, there will be - and needs to be - a great deal of experimentation with new revenue models.
discovery self long
So great becomes the fear of losing what we have that many of us rush back to hide under the temporary shelter of convention rather than follow the path of self-discovery wherever it might lead. Given adequate time and sufficient fear, we may hide so long that we hardly notice we're slowly suffocating.
mother opposites stones
Often, you'll fail. But, as my mother also taught me, failure isn't the opposite of success - it's a stepping stone to success.
eulogy limited-time earth
Why do we spend so much of our limited time on this earth focusing on all the things that our eulogies will never cover?
important body lasts
Before checking that last email before you go to bed, say to yourself, No, I am important. This is important. My body is more important.
passion people eulogy
Eulogies never talk about what was on your resume. Be remembered for how you made people feel and your passions
party ideas pitching
The Republican Party seems unwilling and unable to offer solutions to the crises we are facing, other than pitching the same failed ideas that got us into the mess we are in the first place.
giver
Be a go-giver, not a go-getter
fall rain home
We forget we’re mostly water till the rain falls and every atom in our body starts to go home.
