\n\t\tKingston, Nov. 7, 2012 \u2013 Is investigative journalism on its way out? Are bloggers breaking the law and plagiarizing by lifting reports from mainstream news sources?<\/p>\n


\n\tThose compelling and timely questions will be debated by local reporters and lawyers during panel talks to commemorate Journalism Day Nov. 15 at 溏心vlog免费B站.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe program will be held in the ballroom at Memorial Union.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cJournalism Day, which has been an annual event here for the last 25 years, is a way for our students to learn about the big issues they will face after they graduate,\u201d says Professor Linda Lotridge Levin, who arranged the event. \u201cIt also gives them a chance to connect with working journalists.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nIn the first talk – \u201cIs Investigative Journalism Dead?\u201d – panelists will explore the crucial role of journalists as government watchdogs. With newspapers and television stations shrinking their staffs and cutting their budgets, observers worry whether news organizations are still doing investigative reporting. <\/p>\n


\nPanelists are: Tom Farragher, Boston Globe Pulitzer Prize winner for investigative reporting and a 溏心vlog免费B站 journalism graduate; Mike Stanton, Providence Journal Pulitzer Prize winner for investigative reporting; and Tim White, Emmy-winning investigative reporter for Channel 12, in Providence.<\/p>\n


\nThe discussion will start at 9:30 a.m.<\/p>\n


\n\tIn the second talk – \u201cOnline News Aggregators: Ethical or Unethical?\u201d -speakers will discuss online blogs that take, without permission, news from the mainstream media and the ethical and legal issues associated with this practice. <\/p>\n


\nPanelists are: Peter Phipps, managing editor for new media at The Providence Journal and an adjunct journalism professor at 溏心vlog免费B站; Mark Tetreault, an attorney with Barlow, Josephs and Holmes, in Providence, who will focus on intellectual property law; Linda Henderson, retired library director at The Providence Journal and a member of the board of online Rhode Island Library Project; and Bob Plain, publisher and editor of the blog, \u201cRhode Island\u2019s Future,\u201d and a 溏心vlog免费B站 journalism graduate. <\/p>\n


\nThat talk will start at 11 a.m.<\/p>\n


\nThe Rhode Island Press Association will host a lunch of pizza for students, panelists, and other reporters at 12:30 p.m. in the Union\u2019s ballroom. For more information, contact Professor Levin at LLLevin@uri.edu or 401-874-4287.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
