#57 Demystifying Memoir Writing with Putsata Reang25 Aug 202300:29:11

About Our Guest:
Putsata Reang is an author and journalist whose writings have appeared in a variety of national and international publications, including the New York Times, Politico, the Guardian, Ms, The Seattle Times and the San Jose Mercury News. She is the author of a recent memoir Ma and Me, which talks about her leaving Cambodia at 11 months old, and moving to rural Oregon, and how coming out—and marrying a woman in her 40s—broke her relationship with her Mother.

Putsata was born in Cambodia, and raised in rural Oregon, surrounded by berry farms where she and her family hustled to earn their middle class existence. Her memoir explores the glades of displacement felt by children of refugees, and the overlay of emotional exile that comes with being gay.

Putsata has lived and worked in more than a dozen countries, including Cambodia, Afghanistan and Thailand. She is an alum of Hedgebrook, Mineral School and Kimmel Harding Nelson residencies. She is a 2019 Jack Straw fellow. In 2005, she received an Alicia Patterson Journalism Fellowship that took her back to Cambodia to report on landless farmers.

She currently teaches memoir writing at the University of Washington School of Professional & Continuing Education. Her book recently won a PNW book award.

#43 Guest Lecture: Social Responsibility Reporting with Karen McIntyre14 May 202000:40:10

Karen McIntyre is an assistant professor of multimedia journalism in the Richard T. Robertson School of Media and Culture at Virginia Commonwealth University and researcher of constructive journalism.

In this lecture, Dr. McIntyre discusses her work and key lessons from her forthcoming book, Perspectives on Social-responsibility Reporting: Theory, Practice, and Effects, which is co-edited with University of Oregon Associate Professor Nicole Dahmen (forthcoming, 2020, Peter Lang).

This book will provide an in-depth examination of genres of news reporting that share a common goal — reporting beyond the problem-based narrative, thereby exemplifying a commitment to the social responsibility theory of the press, which asserts that journalists have a duty to consider society’s best interests during the newsmaking process. Such news forms include genres like constructive journalism, solutions journalism, peace journalism, and restorative narrative, among others.

Audience questions have been cut from the Q&A portion of Dr. McIntyre's lecture, but her responses to those questions are included in this recording.

See the presentation slides from this lecture.

About our guest:
Karen McIntyre received her PhD in journalism and mass communication from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. She previously served on the AEJMC's Electronic News Division and Newspaper and Online News Division. Prior to joining Virginia Commonwealth University, she worked for publications such as the The National Geographic Channel, News21, The Richmond Confidential, and many others.

Her research interests more broadly involve the processes and effects of digital media, especially as they relate to media psychology. She has won several Top Paper awards from the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication and has published in journals such as Newspaper Research Journal and Electronic News.

#35 The ethics of reporting on your own newsroom with the 2019 Ancil Payne Award Winners11 Jun 201900:30:01

About Our Guest:
Each year, the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication recognizes the tough, ethical decisions made in the newsroom and in the field—decisions that make a difference in the community but are often invisible to the public. The Ancil Payne Award for Ethics in Journalism presents a $10,000 annual prize to a media organization or journalist who reports with integrity despite personal, political, or economic pressure in honor of Seattle broadcasting legend, Ancil Payne.

During their interview, Yuen and Sepic discuss what it was like to report on their newsroom’s coverage of the fall from grace of one of its network’s biggest stars--Garrison Keillor, producer and host of "A Prairie Home Companion"--after he was accused of inappropriate behavior at the height of the #MeToo movement.

She researches community understanding of climate change in Miami, focusing on the way the city’s politics, infrastructure, and environment influence the way climate change is interpreted in policy and popular imagination. Alongside her research, she has also taught media studies methods and production at NYU. Before she moved to the U.S, she was deputy editor of Carbon Brief, a fact‐checking website focused on climate science and policy in the media.

She’ll discuss how to integrate climate change into health, business, real estate, arts and science and environmental coverage, regardless of scientific expertise--and why it’s important.

About Our Guest:
Robinson's 2018 book, Networked News, Racial Divides: How Power & Privilege Shape Progressive Communities, explores how digital platforms enable and constrain citizens – especially those in marginalized communities – who produce and share information in the public sphere about racial achievement disparities in the K-12 education system. The book is meant to be a guide for journalists, politicians, activists and others on how to navigate information networks to improve public deliberation. This lecture summarizes many of the key lessons from her book.
