Innovations in journalism | ScienceWriters (www.nasw.org) Journalists — science writers, especially — are accustomed to reporting on innovation. Now many are living it. Today's tumult is forcing our profession to reexamine what we're really about and realizing our roles in society. Just as musicians were not about LPs or cassette tapes, we are not about printed-on-paper publications, many of which are being undermined by accelerating losses of ad and subscription revenue to often-free Internet alternatives. by Mike Ross Journalists — science writers, especially — are accustomed to reporting on innovation. Now many are living it. Today's tumult is forcing our profession to reexamine what we're really about and realizing our roles in society. Such was the cautiously optimistic tenor at the Sixth Conference on Innovation Journalism (IJ-6) held at Stanford University, May 18 to 20.

The Lisbon Strategy, also known as the Lisbon Agenda or Lisbon Process, was an action and development plan devised in 2000, for the economy of the European Union between 2000 and 2010. Its aim was to make the EU "the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion", by 2010.[1] It was set out by the European Council in Lisbon in March 2000. By 2010, most of its goals were not achieved. Background and objectives[edit] The Lisbon Strategy intended to deal with the low productivity and stagnation of economic growth in the EU, through the formulation of various policy initiatives to be taken by all EU member states. The broader objectives set out by the Lisbon strategy were to be attained by 2010.
It was adopted for a ten-year period in 2000 in Lisbon, Portugal by the European Council. Strategy[edit] The main fields were economic, social, and environmental renewal and sustainability.

When it comes to the state of our deliberative democracy, here’s one thing we do know: There’s never been a time when citizens have had more informational inputs at their disposal.
But here’s something we don’t know: Whether citizens have access to the right sort of information — or know how to take action based upon that information — to make informed decisions about their communities and society. What steps can be taken to make sure they do? That was the audacious mission undertaken by the Knight Commission on the Information Needs of Communities in a Democracy, a blue-ribbon panel formed by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and the nonpartisan Aspen Institute. In 2009, the Knight Commission released a report “Informing Communities: Sustaining Democracy in the Digital Age” that included 15 recommendations to better meet community information needs.

Business Journalism Ethics | College Business Journalism Consortium. Not all aspects of business journalism are as cut and dried as the laws and rules that determine the release of information. That’s why we’re including this section on business journalism ethics. There are no set guidelines in business journalism. Although many business journalists agree on certain issues, such as that trading in stocks of companies they report about is unethical, there are just as many other issues that there is disagreement. We’re providing the American City Business Journals guidelines as recommended reading for any business journalist faced with an ethical issue. Others can be found here: When in doubt, however, let us emphasize that the best policy is to discuss the matter with your superior, or the editor in chief, before taking any action. Employees are not permitted to accept free transportation or lodging ("so-called junkets") offered by companies, individuals or governmental agencies.
We believe these guidelines should be easily understood. Facebook Could Go Public Before Christmas, Valuation A Big Question. How P&G Tripled Its Innovation Success Rate.
