Newsroom structures and practice are crucial in the shaping of news selection. The way in which newsrooms are structured, and the manner with which they operate is at the very core of what news is presented to consumers. The newsroom is one of the most essential organs in the world of journalism; enabling the selection of news most relevant to the demands of consumers. However, the newsroom is not immune to change and adaptation, and it's structures and practice are evolving as technology and other
Ryan Leckey, a morning news anchor, and a Pitt-Johnstown alumnus, has one of the busiest jobs in Luzerne County.

Ethics in Journalism: Diversity in newsrooms not a trend in the new millennium My interest in the lack of diversity in newsrooms across the United States began while I was enrolled in an ethics course in the journalism department, this semester. I hadn’t realized until this semester that diversity was integral to good, accurate, and fair reporting, and that it is also widely lacking in newsrooms. While the subject of diversity was only discussed over a few class sessions, it became a noticeably
Risible, witty, and engaging, Aaron Sorkin’s “The Newsroom,” an HBO production starring Jeff Daniels as the short-tempered, irascible yet highly intelligent Will McAvoy, is set in the recent past predicated on the premise that news in contemporary America is seriously flawed, lacking depth as they fail to inform the American electorate of “real” news stories because of a preoccupation with ratings and entertainment. In the first two seasons of the show, Sorkin covered events ranging from the BP oil

The author shows how some journalists mounted a heroic defense of freedom of the press while others secretly enlisted in the government's anti-Communist campaign. McCarthyism in journalism became the practice

Elizabeth Bishop's 12 O'Clock News In “12 O’Clock News,” Elizabeth Bishop accentuates the difficulty involved in perceiving the “truth.” She utilizes a technique of constructing an exotic world out of objects that can be found in a newsroom. By defamiliarizing a newsroom, she questions our trust in what we perceive. Is it truly a journey to another world or just another perspective on something we are already familiar with? The intent of this transformation is to create a substitute for reality, analogous

In the overview of the code, it’s specifically stated that the code is a “living code.” This is seen throughout NPR’s ethics page because they update their guideline regularly. Following a code of ethics that’s constantly changing, seems daunting

What is the role of diversity in the newsroom? Use of the term diversity and its role in journalism only calls attention to the lack of it in newsrooms and magazines across the country. In their absence, I’d argue that the true value of having people of various ethnic and racial backgrounds on staff has as much to do with improving the process of newsgathering and reporting as it does achieving racial parity. In short, I think the role of diversity in journalism is to make journalism better. For
