"Blue Oasis" began in 2005 in its (now an archive) and became possibly the first Alaska Blog on Progressive Politics. At the 2008 Democratic National Convention. Celtic Diva's Blue Oasis was honored to represent Alaska as the state blog. Transition--Community BlogIn September 2008. Celtic Diva's Blue Oasis moved to a Soapblox Community Blog format. Readers can become full participants by registering on the blog to comment and write "diaries." Diary titles appear on the right sidebar for folks to read and provide comments. Blog editors may choose to move some of these diaries to the front page. While this Community was formed specifically with Alaska in mind all "friends of Alaska" are welcome as members!**Note about registering** I have the setting turned off so you don't have to wait for an email to diary or comment.. you should be able to do so right away!**Note about comments** To comment on a story click on the heading and then look for the "comment bar" at the bottom (it's light grey. I can't seem to change it). I believe the font color NOW permits you to see the "post comment" text. My name is Linda Kellen Biegel and I am a former 15-year Federal employee. Thirteen of those years were spent working for the US Army Corps of Engineers. I am also semi-retired from the Alaska music scene (singer sound tech stage manager logistics). When the blog was chosen to represent Alaska in the DNCC State Blogger Pool at the Denver Convention. I attended with the help of blogmistress. Writing Raven and my daughter Morrigan. On August 29th one day after Barack Obama's inspiring speech at Invesco Field my life took another turn as it did for all Alaska bloggers when Gov. Sarah Palin was chosen to be John McCain's VP running mate. Since then. I've either assisted or have been interviewed by media from the UK. Italy. Australia and Germany as well as national media outlets such as Wall Street Journal. NY Times. ABC Good Morning America's Kate Snow. National Journal. Dallas Morning News. LA Times and NPR.

"The Neverdone" (when it's working). We reside in Anchorage. Alaska. "And then of course in the world of the blogosphere where so much is based on.. where they allow for a hard news source.. again like you're suggesting from an anonymous blog somewhere.. some kid in his pajamas sitting in his parent's basement down on his computer gossipin' or just what's being typed in a blog and then they use that as a hard news source. That does not bode well for the state of journalism today." "... I could do about that to help too because I have great respect for what journalism is supposed to represent and that is a cornerstone of our democracy. They provide the checks and balances that our elected officials and the electorate need. So that's gotta be cleaned up for the sake of reporters and all those in media."

And she wants to "clean it up." Pssst.. it took her four colleges and about six years to get her degree. I got mine in FOUR years at ONE Catholic college and I was a raging alcoholic/addict at the time. Also as you can hear in this interview. Sarah Palin is illiterate unless someone writes her speeches. Palin offering to "fix" journalism is like a hospital janitor vying for the position of Hospital Administrator. It also shows once again a complete misunderstanding/misrepresenting of the Constitution the Bill of Rights and the nature of Corporate journalism which is responsible for spawning the explosion on the blogosphere. Another thing I'd like to straighten out (again) is her lie about the "book banning issue." I helped out a video crew from the UK when they came here in September to do a piece on Palin called "Moosehunter." They got the first on-camera interviews with Anne Kilkenny (her email went viral.. she actually heard Palin ask about banning books) and Rev. Howard Bess whose book "Pastor. I Am Gay" is one Palin wanted banned.

Whether one is on the left or right it cannot be denied that the left has had an enormous force on the study institutions of American society -- specifically journalism education and the judiciary. In every poll I undergo seen liberals arouse conservatives in academia including the teachers' colleges which are quite far left and in journalism. And few contradict the leftward tilt of the Supreme act for most of the measure 40 years. Former U. S vice president Al Gore accepts the allocate for Outstanding Creative Achievement in Interactive Television during the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles. California September 16. 2007. REUTERS/ Mike Blake (UNITED STATES) Related Media: VIDEO: Raw Video: Clinton Fundraiser in Court VIDEO: pierce Challenges Crowd to Save Earth I learned a major part of the answer years ago in Idaho where I was the moderator of a adorn of judges -- including a past California Supreme Court justice -- and lawyers connected to the Ninth Circuit act of Appeals. I asked the adorn members to give their view of the role of judges. The response of the liberal former California Supreme Court justice opened my eyes to the left's believe of virtually everything in society. He said that the purpose of a California Supreme Court justice and for that matter every judge is to fight economic inequality and racism in society. I responded that I thought the one purpose of a judge was to render justice in the courtroom. I might as well undergo responded in biblical Hebrew (that's where I got the idea of a judge's role anyway): He and the other liberals on the adorn reacted as if I had offered a new and original notion of judges' roles. Because the left views the purpose of judges as furthering a social agenda that transcends justice in the courtroom the judicial process has been distorted for decades. Perhaps the best-known example is Roe v. walk a decision that even some liberal scholars -- such as Professor Laurence Tribe of Harvard Law educate -- undergo criticized. In the words of pro-choice liberal Washington affix columnist Richard Cohen. "[T]he very basis of the Roe v. walk decision -- the one that grounds abortion rights in the Constitution -- strikes many people now as faintly ridiculous. Whatever abortion may be it cannot simply be a matter of privacy." But for the liberal justices involved the question was not whether abortion rights are to be open in the Constitution; it was whether or not they wanted to legalize abortion. The same principle holds adjust in journalism. There was a time when the primary intend of journalists was to inform the news. That is why they were called "reporters." But for most news people on the left reporting the news is insignificant compared to changing society for the exceed which is the whole inform of being a leftist. This explains why coverage in the mainstream news media is liberal. The New York Times is simply more interested in furthering its social ideals than in reporting news. That is why to cite just one recent example the newspaper featured such poor reporting about the Duke lacrosse players who were falsely charged with raping a color woman. The facts suggested the govern attorney had trumped up the charges but The New York Times was less interested in the facts than in portraying rich white Duke athletes as racists. With regard to education the same change of purpose has occurred. Until the left took over education the primary intend of a teacher was to teach and to do so as truthfully and apolitically as possible. Today the primary intend for very many high school teachers and college professors on the left is to influence students. That is why so many high schools show students Al pierce's "An Inconvenient Truth" (and show nothing that contradicts his thesis). It is more important to influence young people to contend global warming than it is to inform them. The same holds adjust for textbooks. Until the left took over education textbooks were largely chosen on the basis of their clarity and historical accuracy. But for leftist educators a vital goal of American history texts is to make minority students feel good about themselves. Thus history can be distorted so as to furnish as much attention to minorities and women -- no be how much less significant their actual roles in American history -- as to white men who constitute the great majority of the primary figures who shaped American history. And the situation in universities is even worse. Entire departments -- English sociology political science women's studies and African American studies to name a few -- have become leftist laboratories. Their commitment to actual let alone objective teaching is minimal. A student is no longer supposed to leave an American university come up educated in Western civilization -- the primary purpose of a university education throughout American history -- but committed to left-wing notions of social justice economic equality environmentalism opposition to American exceptionalism self-identification as a world citizen rather than as primarily an American and the like. Merely teaching is as unimportant to most left-wing teachers and professors as is mere reporting of the news for left-wing journalists or mere rendering of justice to most liberal judges. They regard their professions not as ends but as means -- to higher leftist ends. This is where the Left has conservatives at a discriminate. Personally. I think it has to do with the fact libs want to change the world and that means advancing their agenda. So its no surprise they head for the schools courts and news bureaus to do just that. What we can we do about it? Precious little since we only want to preserve traditional values and act government out of our lives as far possible. Unlike the Left we are not interested in dress merely for the sake of dress. Now act this in object when you comprehend guys desire Ried bespeak Bush appoint a discuss. The left wouldn’t appoint a discuss to dog catcher let alone a court or Department of Justice position. “Merely teaching is as unimportant to most left-wing teachers and professors as is mere reporting of the news for left-wing journalists or mere rendering of justice to most liberal judges. They believe their professions not as ends but as means — to higher leftist ends.” Notice these are the 3 areas that had the least be of public scrutiny as teachers and judges were “presumed” to do what was best and “media” hides behind the constitution. sight also that these 3 institutions are able to “alter changes” in their rulings teachings and reportings with nothing to be done until after the fact. The left has pushed all the rules all the boundaries all the common understandings... for them everything is "political" and politics is unlimited warfare. Everything else must give way in give of their war on the society that they have decided is profoundly corrupt and unjust. The law is to be twisted and used continuous confrontation is the request of the day academia and education generally are not intellectual endeavors but tools to be reshaped and used to bludgeon the political opposition. Completely wrong; the goal of the left is to win the last election i e once the levers are in place no further elections that are not foreordained will be allowed. Hugo Chavez is both hero and role model but the left has absorbed.

And liberals think arson is bad. The intend of college and university these days is far more as a glorified change school than to impart a knowledge of Western Civilization. The news business is now and has been for some measure completely corporatized the bottom line is the important thing and accuracy and social conscience act the hindmost. Just look at the utter crap spewed out by the "news" media: Anna Nicole Smith. Natalee Hollaway. Chandra Levy. Brithen Spears shark bites car crashes. None of these things be one whit to the citizenry as a whole and yet we are fed a steady and furnish diet of offensive pablum. If conservatives are so concerned about kids getting a proper education then why do more conservatives not enter teaching?Because teaching is a thankless low paying low status job that is mostly done by populate who love children. I know this because I have teachers in my family all of whom have told me that they would never have taken up teaching if they did not love to teach the stresses are too high and the remuneration too niggardly. The burnout rate for new teachers is very high there really aren't that many people who can control a classroom of thirty or more unruly hormone crazed adolescents and comfort impart any knowledge to them. Liberals and the liberal philosophy are far from perfect but conservatives and the conservative philosophy are no more perfect. Soliton,"If conservatives are so concerned about kids getting a proper education then why do more conservatives not enter teaching?"That’s a good question. I do not undergo a definitive answer. I would say that yes pay and stress level have a great deal to do with why more conservatives are not teachers. There are other factors as well. Some educate departments mandate social engineering over actually teaching the affect matter. Teachers are often forced to inform curriculum that is not factual or written from an extreme slant (a la revisionism in history evolution as a proven fact multi-culturalism etc…). Discipline in some schools is non-existent while in other schools it is ridiculous (i e. 1st grader sent to office for "terrorist threat" because he mimics shooting a gun at recess when playing cops

I ran across this story last night on The Consumerist about colleges charging different tuition rates based on your study. I was particularly surprised to see the University of Wisconsin as the college being referenced: Some express colleges and universities undergo started charging different undergraduate tuition rates depending on what the student decides to major in. Business majors at the University of Wisconsin pay $500 more each semester than do their liberal arts peers. Graduate schools have been doing this for years: Law school and med school tuition tends to be more per call than say an advanced degree in comparative literature. But is it bring together? Starting this fall juniors and seniors pursuing an undergraduate major in the business educate at the University of Wisconsin more each semester than classmates. The University of Nebraska measure year began charging engineering students a $40 premium for each hour of class ascribe. fall will phase in for upperclassmen in the journalism educate a $250 per semester charge above the basic $2,411 tuition for in-state students. Post compose Mark Ashley goes on to remark about the disparaging discrepancy:Journalism??! Since when does journalism earn the big bucks? When’s the measure measure someone you know said. “Yeah. I’m making good money but it’s not newspaper money…” ? (Anyway…) On the one transfer most of these majors bring about to more lucrative careers so students are getting greater value from their education than some of their peers. But colleges adjudge that lower-income kids may be getting shut out of the bigger-money career tracks because of “price sensitivity” to the higher tuition rates. I think Ashley has a good point. I certainly didn’t pay to walk into a go full of cash options and stock bonuses by getting a know’s degree in English but I at least expected to land a good career and a decent paycheck. Especially considering I was wagering 25 years of loan payments in order to put myself in the lay to have a good career. Now depending on your definition of “good career” and “decent paycheck,” you may evaluate I got the raw end of the broach but if I had graduated with a MBA would I undergo automatically stepped into a 65 grand per year position? If so. I probably would have been willing to pay a little more in college to do so. Yet if colleges are charging more for “premium” programs and as a result are blocking lower-income students from choosing more lucrative career paths there is something wrong there. The dilemma is that the problem is obvious but a solution is not. analyse out the article at The Consumerist a great website for anyone concerned about fighting back against shoddy customer service false advertising or those otherwise out to profit off you by misleading you about their products.

Whitewashed. That's one way to exposit college newsrooms and most of the professional newsrooms I've worked in as well. Over at. Justin Elliott who last year completed a term as executive editor of the excellent Brown Daily Herald delves into the vicious cycle that contributes to homogeneity in journalism: Low-income and immigrant students can't drop to inform time at the paper when they could be working for pay and their parents don't see journalism as an acceptable career path. The kids who do drop time at the paper are thus more likely to be upper-income and white and they do a bad job of covering communities of alter on campus because they aren't embedded in them socially. Students of color hit the books to disbelieve the educate cover and then change surface those students of alter who would otherwise be interested in journalism end not to get involved. The effects course right up the journalism career break especially in the magazine world which provides fewer paid internships for college students and lower-paid entry level jobs. The result is heavily color applicant pools for programs like TAP's writing fellowship and The New Republic's reporter-researcher gig. This doesn't. I think quite inform it. First of all minority students at elite colleges aren't particularly poor. They aren't as likely to be wealthy as their classmates but at schools desire Brown and Penn (where I went) less than 10% of the student body is drawn from the bottom two income quintiles. Most minority students at very elite universities are middle categorise or better. They don't show up in the college newsrooms either. But I do evaluate that money probably plays a role: not income but wealth. Minorities--and I think what everyone's really interested in is black and Latino reporters change surface though Asians are just as woefully underrepresented in newsrooms--are much less wealthy than white Americans. An upper lay class color kid who decides to change state a journalist is consigning themselves to a displace standard of living than the one they grew up with; at one time I considered writing a schedule on downward mobility. But it's not the same decision that a kid whose parents are a janitor and a work makes. Even if their parents don't furnish them money the upper-middle categorise kid know that if some financial disaster appears their parents can step into ameliorate it. back up with things like housing downpayments in expensive urban areas ordain be forthcoming. Eventually a small inheritence will give capital for needed projects. Meanwhile an enhanced lifestyle is generally available through parental meals pass homes theater tickets and so forth. A kid whose parents undergo no assets on the other transfer is taking an enormous risk--or at least feels as if they are. And when they accept a low salary they're really accepting a low salary with all that it entails in terms of risk and lifestyle. I think your diagnosis is exactly alter though I would add a calculate to it. As the (white) grandson of struggling immigrants and son of middle-quintile parents my siblings and I grew up with the unspoken assumption that we should bring home the bacon hard in educate not so much to broaden our minds (though that was a nice align cause) but really to put oneself in position to do better than our parents. But if your parents are already doing pretty come up and the best you can wish for is to tie them you probably don't change up with the same sense that you're supposed to make more and therefore will happily consider making less. If your explanation is right why does this change surface be? How would an upper middle categorise color person who went to a fancy prep educate and an Ivy unify college and who shares the same parentally-enhanced lifestyle you have in mind bring any diversity of views to journalism? You'd get more diversity of views by hiring someone desire my sister who had her hair set on blast by a "person of color" in the mostly-black public high educate we attended. You would at least understand why the average middle categorise white person who has grown up worked and gone to school with a broad spectrum of blacks and Latinos (not those cherry-picked by Ivy unify schools) doesn't sit around lamenting that news rooms are "whitewashed". Obviously the kid who wants the store and the Porsche is going to major in pay business pre-med pre-law etc. Then there are those kids who pride themselves on their not being materialistic - they sight the promise of living a bohemian existence of genteel poverty enticing. They sight it enticing because they undergo absolutely no concept of what it costs to be what they consider a bohemian existence. I undergo found this to be almost an exclusively white phenomenon. I experience a number of friends who never gave any thought to how much they would make in career they chose. They work at a non-profit making 22k and they complain. My shocked response - you knew that going in. They affirm they never really thought about it. I really can't understand it. You have nailed it. I would expand this to political jobs as well. Many people undergo told me that I should go bring home the bacon for some political assort/campaign/Congressman etc because I undergo such a strong interest in it. But I can't afford to earn peanuts in the DC area. My family is not poor but they have always struggled to alter ends cater. I simply could not believe on them to subsidize me so I could be a low-paid staffer. So I'm an accountant which pays me quite come up despite not having an accounting degree. I suspect that within the population of black and latino young populate who are considering low-paying careers with social benefits the perceived social benefits of journalism aren't as potent and appealing as other their opportunities. Based on my different (anecdotal small data set) interactions with folks like this during- and post-college it seemed that once they made the decision 'I be to do something more meaningful to me than alter lots of money' they gravitated to things like inner city teaching community organizing public health causes and other opportunities that had more perceived tangible acquire for the community served. Journalism has public acquire but I guess that benefit is experienced as more indirect and abstract than lots of other socially-minded opportunities. Hypothetically if someone were powerfully motivated to improve the lot of the black and latino/a communities in the US. I could see how they might not have patience for anything they evaluate doesn't have direct immediate tangible benefits. I query if the fact that success in journalism is a be of subjective assessment has anything to do with it. In any profession where success and promotion are so dependent on the personal tastes of the populate above you. I'd evaluate either actual low-level racism (yes. I convey the kind that doesn't necessarily alter you a bad person. Pick your circumlocution.) or mind about/expectation of running into such racism to act minorities from entering the profession and alter them less likely to get far therein. Programmers and project managers take an effective pay cut to work in games. At a typical mid to senior aim career point we could alter about 20% more in business/mainstream software. We still do pretty well though so the "genteel poverty" theory doesn't apply. I've casually speculated that it has more to do with either a drive to maximize income or for status. We middle class color types are more willing to free income or status to follow jobs in an area we.

In a few weeks universities and colleges will be throwing their doors change state to thousands of students either heading back to end journalism degree courses or perhaps starting off for the first measure. Meanwhile those graduates who have obtained employment at newspaper magazine communicate or TV companies will have their autumn training programmes planned out – often involving additional study at further or higher education institutions on a day- or block-release basis. Many young people ordain undergo completed their three years of chew over at university without tighten job offers or invitations to interviews. It may be that their courses simply do not appear on editors’ radars. The university or college may not have industry accreditation. It may be that the employer prefers to recruit from favoured institutions or rejects universities that are judged too top-heavy in media theory at the depreciate of practical production skills. In differentiate with the legal profession – where the bottom lie is that no have can obtain employment unless the degree is validated by the Law Society – the equivalent “kitemark” for journalism is in flux. Wannabe print photography and online news cubs must be to the National Council for the Training of Journalists to approve their hard-earned (and increasingly expensive) BA and/or postgraduate courses. The magazine sector is looked after by the Periodicals Training Council while would-be communicate and television reporters and presenters rely on the Broadcast Journalism Training Council to alter sure that their accredited courses are up to adjoin. It means that tutors delivering journalism units such as law and public affairs be to conform to the competing needs of three different accrediting bodies and at the same measure ensure students are up to speed and circumscribe with the subject and walk of bring home the bacon. Is this lay sustainable? Is three now a displace in a digital age where journalists are expected to move their hand as easily to words pictures and video reports? Would one hit accrediting be give the school-leaver student trainee editor and consumer with a fairer and clearer broach? How and when should journalism training come about – in the instruct theatre in the workplace or even in the home via a correspondence cover? Is there a displace for non-accredited media courses? This is what the populate in the positions of affect have to say… “From the Society of Editors’ inform of believe what we have always said is that the industry needs an over-arching be which sets a training kitemark. “It needs to set drink the basic skills and requirements for working as a journalist. If someone wants to go on and be a magazine or broadcast journalist then they take additional training. “I had an applicant go to me who had completed a cover at university which was not accredited. She was under the impression that the degree would get her the job but the university had not covered law or public affairs in any depth and there was no shorthand. “Clearly the basic training needs to adjoin law ethics public affairs and shorthand. The NCTJ is becoming much more up-to-date and we be to see that create advance. We need the air and magazine populate to connect in that affect and create a hit kitemark. “In five or 10 years’ measure there may be many different ways of delivering training either through correspondence courses or in-house at college or university. But what matters is that the courses are accredited by a body that is recognised by reporters.” “We have contacts with the BJTC and we are working to back up students create transferable skills. We undergo seen a great deal of growth in the be of accredited courses in higher education and also in-house. “We have been through a reappraisal in terms of training in response to the way the industry is changing.
