Fareed Zakaria Suspended by CNN and Time Over Plagiarism One of the brightest lights in the media world, and one of the most influential Indian Americans in the country, has admitted to plagiarism. Time magazine and CNN suspended writer and “GPS” TV host Fareed Zakaria Aug. 10 for one month after it came to light that he had copied information in an article from The New Yorker. A conservative media site called NewsBusters noticed that Zakaria’s column titled “The Case for Gun Control” in the Aug. 20 issue of Time too closely mimicked an April 23 New Yorker article about gun control by historian Jill Lepore. Zakaria issued a statement later in the day Aug. 10 saying, “Media reporters have pointed out that paragraphs in my Time column this week bear close similarities to paragraphs in Jill Lepore’s essay in the April 23 issue of The New Yorker. They are right. I made a terrible mistake. CNN issued a statement reading, “We have reviewed Fareed Zakaria’s Time column, for which he has apologized.
Information Literacy Interactive Tutorial What is copyright? All original work - journal articles, music, essays, photographs, user guides, videos and PowerPoint presentations - has an author or creator who owns the copyright of the work. It is important not to be frightened of or intimidated by copyright. Copyright gives authors certain rights to control the use of their creations, including distributing copies to the public. The purpose of copyright is to prevent others making a profit at the expense of the author. Copyright crucials: Always check and abide by the "terms and conditions" section that appears on most websites and publications. Citations Citations show that you know how to consult other people's work and combine their findings with your own. Citations are in-text acknowledgements of a source.

Copyright law: the basics This guide is based on UK law. It was last updated in August 2008. The skill, creative effort, time and money invested in producing material may be wasted if it is open to other parties to use or exploit that material without paying the creator. Copyright gives the author of certain types of material rights to control the use or commercial exploitation of the work that he or she has created. This includes rights to authorise or prohibit the copying, issuing of copies, renting or lending, performing, showing, playing, broadcasting or adaptation of the copyright material. What is protected by copyright? The sorts of material (referred to in copyright legislation as 'works') which benefit from copyright protection are set out by statute, and are broken down into the following categories: Original literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works, including computer programs and some databases; Sound recordings, films or broadcasts; and Typographical arrangements of published editions.

Mozilla Ignite The UK Copyright Service - UK and International Copyright Registration Centre Journalistic Learning  Surrounded by the corporate offices of Facebook and Google, and by Stanford University, Palo Alto, California, is among the nation’s wealthiest and intellectually elite communities. Its affluence might lead many to falsely assume that Palo Alto High exists in a utopian bubble that bears little resemblance to the rest of America; and that it is therefore an anomalous choice for study. However, the school is a microcosm of the cultural challenges and demographic complexities becoming apparent in many parts of the United States. This research includes two years of qualitative field study at Palo Alto High and a broader quantitative survey of 664 high school students from five U.S. states. The curricular goals of the new standards can seem “lofty,” given the economic and structural challenges many school districts and their communities face.

The five shot method for shooting video > Mindy McAdams In the standard way to teach video shooting, students are instructed to shoot "wide, medium, tight." That means: For each subject of interest, get one shot that's far away enough to show everything (wide); get a second shot that is close enough to see what's going on (medium); get a third shot that's very close (tight). Beginners can follow these instructions, but the results are not always good. The five-shot method is more useful for beginners. I have trained many journalists to use simple audio and video tools to tell stories. For an introduction to video editing, I use this finished video as an example. Always get five shots for a sequence The still images below show how the five-shot method is applied: 1) Hands (tight): For this first shooting exercise, your work will be easy if you choose a subject who is working with his or her hands and staying in one place. 2) Face (tight): Who's performing the action we saw with the hands? Follow the 10-second rule
YouTube's Video Editor - YouTube Help Customize volume You can set volume levels for each clip in your project. Hover over a clip in your timeline and find the volume slider. Adjust the slider to lower the volume on the clip or music track. Add music You can add a new audio track to your video. Browse the tracks by searching or filtering by artist and genre. Songs, like clips, can't overlap - they can only come before or after each other. The audio from an added track will overlap replace your clips’ original audio by default.
