The 11 Suggestions: An antique mirror on journalism’s craft and values - Poynter

The 11 Suggestions: An antique mirror on journalism’s craft and values - Poynter https://ift.tt/2lj3pi0

The cool thing about the Ten Commandments is that there were 10 of them. That means they could fit on two tablets. Handy if you have to carry them down a mountain.

I’ve argued that old codes of ethics were too negative. They lingered too long on what not to do instead of what professionals should do to fulfill their mission and purpose. The old codes were filled with flashing red lights: Don’t do this. Don’t do that.

I prefer green light ethics. “Love thy neighbor” — as exemplified in the parable of the Good Samaritan — does not require the reminder “Thou shalt not kill.”

RELATED: ‘Lead’ vs. ‘lede’: Roy Peter Clark has the definitive answer, at last

I recently discovered in an old journalism textbook a list of 11 suggestions to young journalists on how they might live upright, professional lives. The list amazed me. I could not recall any similar list where journalism values were expressed so well, so succinctly and with such enduring relevance.

The list appears as the last words in the book “Newspaper Writing and Editing,” written by Willard G. Bleyer, perhaps the outstanding journalism educator of his day, and published in 1913.

Here then, for all to share, are, not the Ten Commandments, but the Eleven Suggestions:

Remember that whatever you write is read by thousands.

Don’t forget that your story or headline helps to influence public opinion.

Realize that every mistake you make hurts someone.

Don’t embroider facts with fancy; “truth is stranger than fiction.”

Don’t try to make cleverness a substitute for truth.

Remember that faking is lying.

Refer all requests to “keep it out of the paper” to those higher in authority.

Stand firmly for what your conscience tells you is right.

Sacrifice your position, if need be, rather than your principles.

See the bright side of life: don’t be pessimistic or cynical.

Seek to know the truth and endeavor to make the truth prevail.

I took a photo of the list and published it on Twitter:

Not sure I have seen a better list of journalism standards and practices. More remarkable, it was published in 1913 by Willard Bleyer, the final words of his college textbook. He was chair at Wisconsin. This is where craft meets mission and purpose. 1913! pic.twitter.com/L3vBOwk9aX

— Roy Peter Clark (@RoyPeterClark) August 1, 2019

I was surprised and delighted at how many of my Twitter followers found this list interesting and valuable, and in some cases, prescient. That is, the Eleven Suggestions seemed relevant to the education and socialization of journalists more than a century after they were compiled.

There is much to be learned from this list, its maker and the crises of journalism that inspired its formulation. Before I get to what I have learned about Bleyer himself, I want to attend to my own reactions to the Eleven Suggestions, that is, why I find them extraordinary.

If you distill from the list its dominant themes, they reveal most of journalism’s key concerns:

Not writing and reporting to please yourself or advance your career, but with a keen sense of service to an audience.

An understanding that the audience turns to you for information that will enrich them as citizens in the process of self-government.

That accuracy is a practical virtue and that the failure to achieve it can have negative consequences.

Truth seeking and truth telling are at the heart of the discipline.

Your ultimate loyalty cannot be either to special interests or even to your employer. It must be to the public interest.

Cynicism corrodes the soul of the journalist and erodes the trust of the public in institutions that sustain civic life.

Who was this guy?

Willard G. Bleyer was born in 1873 into a newspaper family that became prominent in Milwaukee and the state of Wisconsin. His grandfather, his father and his uncles worked all aspects of the newspaper business, and it’s fair to say that young Willard grew up in the newsroom. It’s also fair to say that his scholarly instincts inspired him to explore the intellectual underpinnings of the family trade, especially one so closely associated with democracy and civic life.

He would earn a doctorate in English at the University of Wisconsin and became a pre-eminent academic in the emerging profession of journalism and mass communications, his theories always grounded in the habits and protocols of the publishing business. A clumsy and dull teacher — some high school students drove him out of that venue by playing tricks on him, such as stealing his galoshes — he was gifted in the art of newsroom gab and in debates about journalism practice and news judgment. Childless in his family life, he was known as “Daddy” to his Wisconsin students, who referred to themselves as his “children.”

His association with the University of Wisconsin and with the journalism practiced in that state would last until his death in 1935 at the age of 62. By then, Bleyer was the among the most revered champions of responsible journalism on the planet. Lawrence Murphy, a student of Bleyer’s at UW who became director of the journalism program at Illinois, eulogized that Daddy was “the greatest single influence in journalism that the world has known.”

As a teacher and scholar, Bleyer expressed the most altruistic notions about the role of journalism in a self-governing democracy. However, his efforts to elevate journalism met resistance on two fronts: newsroom hacks spit on any talk of “responsibility” coming from academia; and the pointy-heads in the university looked down on uppity reporters and editors who might venture to join their ranks.

Perhaps because Bleyer had the vantage point of an educator — rather than that of an influential owner such as Joseph Pulitzer or an author and public intellectual such as Walter Lippmann — his influence, while monumental in his time, is less enduring. (In that respect, perhaps Bleyer deserves a spot in the Hall of Fame next to Nelson Poynter.)

RELATED TRAINING: Writing with Voice and Structure with Lane DeGregory

A 1998 monograph on Bleyer’s life and influence, written by Carolyn Bronstein and Stephen Vaughn, make a point that feels even truer in 2019 than it did in the last years of the 20th century. In a foreshadowing of our current conversations, Bleyer saw the journalism of his day — especially the business of newspapering — as in an existential crisis. It was not just journalism that was at stake, it was the system of democracy itself.

The culprits of 1913 have a familiar ring to them: publishers who put profit above purpose; sensational stories that were a staple of the yellow press; competition for audience created by the advancing technologies of photography, newsreels, motion pictures and radio; an underpaid class of reporters and editors who were not up to the task of working in these disruptive environments; a political and business class antagonistic to even the best efforts of the working press.

Bleyer even worried about the muckrakers. Yes, it was crucial for journalists to shine a light on corruption, but not in such a lurid manner that it turns citizens into cynics, giving up all hope of achieving real reform. In his day, Bleyer was playing ball with a team of intellectuals, political figures and journalists who thought of themselves as part of a Progressive movement. He was a strong advocate, even in 1913, for women’s suffrage, for opening doors for women into the newsroom, for some forms of unionization of journalists, creating for them better working conditions and higher wages.

My New York friends might call him a mensch.

Here is a version of the Eleven Suggestions suitable for displaying on the newsroom or classroom bulletin board.

Academic Life in ICLP--Q and A

Hey everyone! In my previous posts, I have shared the extracurricular travels and food culture of Taiwan that makes studying at ICLP all the more fantastic. But today, I’d like to cover the most important aspect of all; academic life in ICLP. Below are ten questions that I hope offer insight on the program’s key elements and help you decide if the ICLP experience is right for you!

1. What is the average class schedule in ICLP?

Once everyone’s placement scores have been evaluated, everyone receives their personalized class schedule and textbook list. Generally, every student is assigned to a homeroom class of two hours, a reading class of one hour, and a one-on-one tutoring hour. Classes are every day, Monday through Friday. The earliest possible class starts at 8 am and the latest possible class ends at 6pm. My schedule, for example, consisted of a homeroom class from 8-10am, a reading class from 2-3pm, and one-on-one tutoring from 4-5pm.

2. How does ICLP determine what classes to put you in?

Prior to classes starting, every student takes a placement exam covering the four core language skills (i.e. Speaking, Reading, Writing, and Listening). The oral portion consists of a fifteen minute interview with an ICLP staff member who will ask questions ranging from casual (ex: What is your major? Why did you choose to study Chinese?) to complex (ex: What is your viewpoint on China’s current economic situation?) based on the quality of your answers.

3. What are ICLP classes like?

Besides the one-on-one session, class sizes are purposely minimized to four students to reinforce the program’s highly participative and immersive goals. In other words, it’s basically impossible as an ICLP student to get away with not speaking in class or turning in homework late--the class size is too small for your instructors to not notice! Expect to talk and be called on a lot. Though this may sound intimidating, I can ensure you from experience that the high expectations of ICLP’s teachers come from kindness and passion; they only want to push you to be your best.

4. What kind of homework do ICLP students have?

It depends on what classes you are placed into. From what I personally noticed, homework difficulty and amount had a direct correlation with a student’s level placement. But as a general rule, all students have homework every night. Common assignments include studying certain passage sentences for the “listen-writing” quiz (i.e. the teacher says a sentence and students write the characters they hear) as well as weekly oral speeches on a certain topic. And, of course, you learn lots of new vocabulary.

5. Do ICLP students have to study traditional Chinese characters?

Yes and no. Most class textbooks have simplified character versions. All students can choose to write in simplified on homework and exams. The placement exam has a simplified and traditional version. However, especially at the higher levels, it is expected for students to learn to read and recognize traditional characters. For flagship students who intend to go to capstone, this is a good thing, as pre-capstone exams will include traditional articles whether you are accustomed to them or not. When I first arrived in Taiwan, my traditional character recognition was very poor. It was near impossible to read street signs or the labels of convenience store products. But immersion can do crazy things for the language-learning brain, and because I saw these signs and was pressed to read traditional articles in class every day, my traditional reading fluency skyrocketed. One day, I read halfway through a news handout my teacher gave before I realized it was written in traditional--I felt so elated and accomplished! So no, you are not denied access to simplified materials, but as fundamental nature of being in Taiwan, you will study traditional characters to some degree.

6. What should I do if I need study help?

The teachers and staff of ICLP recognize that the demands of their program pose a challenge to many, and in response have gone out of their way to ensure students have access to help. All students have a “homeroom” teacher who lives in the same apartment complex and meets with you at least once a week. These meetings are designed for students to get extra practice or help with harder assignments. If your homeroom teacher is not available, every student is also assigned a native language partner who you can contact for help. Even among fellow classmates are opportunities to study as a group and help one another on homework questions. No matter the day, there will always be someone to reach out to for guidance, school or otherwise.

7. What study spaces are available for ICLP students?

We actually get our own lounge and library, which is very nice. The lounge includes lockers for each student, water dispensers with different temperature settings (tea bags are also available to add to hot water), couches, and even a few board games tucked beneath the coffee tables. The library keeps the latest newspapers in stock and house a bunch of quiet study desks. If even these don’t suffice, the university has two other main libraries that flagship students can access and the benches of “Drunken Moon Lake” ’s tranquil campus park.

8. What is the “Final Research Project”?

As a key demonstration of your studies and growth of ICLP’s two month program, each student is required to write a research paper on a topic of one’s choice, followed by giving a speech pertaining to this paper’s content--all, of course, in Chinese. The research paper can be on any subject one wishes to investigate, but it is strongly encouraged that the topic be related to your major or career goals. Since I am a business major with an interest in astronomy, I chose to investigate the business aspects of Taiwan and Mainland China’s Aerospace Industry. Other topics my classmates chose ranged from illegal fishing, traditional Chinese medicine, Taiwan dialects, and even local coffee and shave ice culture! I highly recommend selecting a topic that is relevant to your future and sparks your interest, as it will gear you with specialized vocabulary and rewarding career knowledge.

9. What is the “24 Hour Language Pledge”?

ICLP requires each student to sign a 24 Hour Language Pledge in the week before classes start, which is a contract stating you will abstain from speaking English and strive to only communicate in Chinese for the duration of the summer. As stated in the document, any one caught speaking English outside excused circumstances (i.e. in an emergency or when having private conversations with family members inside the apartments) would incur a strike on their record, with three strikes meaning expulsion from the program. Though highly daunting and strict, it is this immersion enforcement that catalyzes the sheer success of ICLP.

With this extra push to speak Chinese at all times, I learned to effectively communicate in a variety of spontaneous circumstances. When I got a stomach bug and had to see a doctor, I used Chinese to explain my symptoms and recognized new words like “draw blood” and “dull” vs. “acute” pain from our dialogue. When I visited the Longshan temple, I pushed my speaking abilities to ask a kind woman about why some locals were throwing wedge-shaped stones at the ground. After several meal transactions, I picked up on how to convey a variety of requests such as whether my order was “for here” or “to go”. And when I browsed a bookstore on a whim one Saturday afternoon, this practice in awkward but persistent conversation allowed me to talk with the storekeeper about random topics like calligraphy and foreign imports. It’s not easy to follow, but the effort is worth it!

10. What is the “Language Mission Week”?

Towards the end of the program, ICLP holds a special weekend of field trips called the Language Mission Week. Students get to sign up for one of several off-campus activities such as going to the anthropology museum, making traditional pineapple cakes, or exploring a local radio station, after which you write a report on what you learned from the experience. It’s an exciting, hands-on event that instills new vocabulary in a way textbook learning never can! I chose to go to Taiwan’s High Court and role play in a mock trial for my language mission. It was so much fun, and I learned all sorts of law-related terms I otherwise would never know.

Falling Standard Of Education In Nigeria: Who Is To Be Blame?

INTRODUCTION

The concept ” falling standard of Education” is a relative term because there is no well defined instruments to measure it with utmost reliability and validity. That is why scholars’ views on the concept varies. These scholars view it at different perspectives, depending on the angle each of them is looking at it.

Babalola, A (2006) sees the concept from admission of Nigerian University products in developed countries universities. That the first six Nigerian Universities (University of Ibadan, Ile Ife, Lagos, Benin, Nsukka and Zaria) had their products competing favourably with any other University in the world as their products were sought for by University of Harvard, Cambridge, Oxford and London for admission into their post-graduate courses. That these students record breaking performances and when they graduate are employed by the best multi-national companies and corporate bodies globally unlike today where no Nigerian University is among the top 6,000 Universities of the world (Adeniyi, Bello (2008) in Why no worry about rankings). He sees standard from how universities contribute to knowledge and solving problems besetting mankind.

According to Gateway to the Nation (2010), University of Ibadan is ranked 6,340th University in the world. In Africa, University of Ibadan is ranked 57th, OAU 69th and South African Universities are leading the way in Africa. He also use written and spoken English as a yardstick for measuring standard of education which University of London conducted a research in West Africa and the result showed that teachers trained by colonial masters were better of than those trained by indigenous teachers.

He also used staffing, funding, foundation, origin and students as standard of education.

Standard of education to Dike, V. (2003) is how education contribute to the public health (or sociopolitical and economic development of a Nation).

Standard of education to either passing or failing of external examinations like WAEC, NECO, NABTEB, JAMB,(NOW UTME) among others.

Teachers without Boarders (2006) looks at educational standard from how the products of schools can be measured in terms of outcome. That is how school leavers contribute to the society in terms of cognitive affective and psychomotor. I will be using students to refer to both students and pupils, I will use head teacher to refer to both principal and headmaster.

Which ever way you may view standard of education, for you to conclude whether the standard is falling or not, you must take into consideration all the aforementioned variables including achieving educational goals.

Equally, for justice to be done while measuring these standards one has to look at reliability where all the schools to be measured must have the same infrastructure, teaching materials, quality of teachers, level and degree of learners, condition within which learning takes place, some methods of assessment and some types of contribution to the society among others.

CAUSES OF FALLING STANDARDS

Haven discussed what makes up standard in education, may I crave your indulgence to some of the established facts that constitute falling standard of education in Nigeria.

(1) Discipline: This is one of the outstanding attributes of education when it is rightly observed.

a. Repeating: school no longer observe repeating as every student is promoted to the next class whether they understand or not gives room for falling standard. b. Attendance: The 75% of attendance universally accepted as the bases for someone to sit for examination is no longer observed. c. Late coming: Student that come late are no longer punished, which leads to their losing morning classes. d. Misbehaviour: Students are no longer punished for misbehavior because of their parental influences (lost of jobs or unnecessary transfer). e. Cultism: This could refer to rituals, usually under oath binding the members to a common course. They operate covertly in fulfillment of their objectives to the detriment of other people. Thus, planning secondary needs above primary needs.

These cults exist because of over population of students in schools, wrong admissions not based on merits, hence fear of examination failures and selfish worldly gains.

(2) Quest for paper qualification: Nigerians respect paper qualification above performance in the fields. Hence, cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains are supposed to be measured on the field.

(3) Politicizing education: Merit is no longer regarded as it is now ” who you know” and not “what you can deliver” Technocrats (educationists are not appointed Commissioner of education and education board).

(4) Policy problem: Sometimes the type of policies government make on education adversely affects output. For instance, in College of Education, we have National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE), competing with JAMB for admission as the two guidelines vary.

Equally, WAEC, NECO, NABTEB, JAMB ( now UTME) compete with qualifying pre-requisites and regulation of entries into tertiary institutions.

(5) Teachers not being part of the examination bodies. One wonders whether the continuous Assessment submitted by these teachers are used or not.

(6) Accessibility of Schools: The Nigerian population boom has outnumbered the existing schools as the existing schools have to over admit.

This point can be practically seen in the following areas:

(i) Teacher / Student ratio of 1:25 is no longer there as in my class, it is 1:3900. (ii) Students / books / Journals ratio of 1:10 is no longer feasible. (iii) Politics of admission: Schools can no longer set targets for admission to conform with their facilities as powerful notes from above will force the school authorities to either over admit or find themselves in the labour market again. Yet it is those that are giving these notes are suppose to build more schools or provide needed infrastructure etc. to accommodate those collecting these notes.

(7) Over-dependent on cognitive domain: Schools do not give regards to affective domain that will mould characters of our young ones. Little attention is given to psychomotor while no attention is given to affective domain.

(8) Shortage of qualified teachers: Some schools in the rural areas only have the headmaster as government employee while the rest that may be secondary school drop outs are PTA staff. What miracle can these staff perform? Dike, V. (2006) observed that only 23% out of the then 400,000 primary schools in Nigeria have grade II even when NCE is now the minimum qualification for teachers at primary and Junior Secondary schools.

(9) Teachers welfare: It is no longer news that

(a) Politicians do not have negotiation council to negotiate their salary increase. (b) There is no disparity among political office holders from the federal, state and local governments. (c) Their salaries are increased at astronomical manner. (d) Their salaries are increased any time without recourse to whether the nation’s economy can bear it or not. (e) But for teachers, they must negotiate the 10 to 20% of an attempt to increase their salary with consideration of the economy of the nation. How can these teachers contribute and perform miracle when their family members are in the hospitals and the O.S. syndrome is written on their cards by pharmacists while they do not have money to treat.

(10) Constant Strikes: This is an impediment to smooth covering of syllabus. Oefule (2009) explained that one Nigerian guest asked a question on strike at Oxford University community but the vice chancellor could not even remember about strike, only the registrar remembered it for 17 years back. This is what governance means to the people.

(11) Long rule of the military; Education was not properly funded by the military regimes as according to Babalola, A(2006) Obasanjos administration inherited many left over problems of the military such as non- payment of pensions and gratuities of retired University staff, poor remuneration of university staff, dilapidating buildings of schools, libraries with outdated books, obsolete laboratory equipments, bad campus roads, inadequate water and power supply among others.

(12) In the secondary and primary schools levels, schools do not even have buildings talk less` of furniture’s, equipments and reading materials. This is the level where the foundation of education should be laid. Any faulty foundation will lead to faulty structures. What do you expect from the tertiary level?

(13) Lack of training of teachers: Teachers are not trained to update their knowledge with latest discoveries based on research, then how can they give what they don’t have?

(14) Poor state of Educational teaching facilities: Dike V. (2006) reported that research result shows that over 2015 primary schools in Nigeria do not have building but study under trees, talk less of teaching materials.

(15) Corruption: leaders of the schools and some Government officials either connive to buy equipments with loan money that cannot be of any use to the school or take such loans and do not even do anything with it.

(16) Poor budgetary allocation to education: A research work of 2001 shows that Nigeria only, allocate less than 20% to education it further reveals that Nigeria spends 0.76% to education as against Uganda 2.6%, Tanzania3.4%, Mozambique 4.1%, Angola 4.9%, Coted Ivore 5% Kenya 6.5% and South Africa 7.9% among others.

WHO IS TO BE BLAMED?

We have seen the causes of falling standards and from these causes we can deduce that the following are to be blamed:

1. Government suppose to carry the lion share of the blame because all the other variables are dependent variables to it.

2. Teachers also have their shares of the blame with regards to their diligent duties.

3. Parents: feeding has to be provided by parents. This is because parents do not leave schools to operate without interference.

4. Students: students who do not abide by school rules and regulations nor pay attention to their studies also contribute to falling standards. Students also seek for paper qualification and disregards to performance they also participate in cult activities that derail the progress of the academy.

5. The society is not left out as it is the way it sees and respects the products of these schools that recycles back again.

SOLUTION

Based on the problems or causes identified above, the following solutions are proffered: Schools should respect and restore back discipline to bring back the lost glory of our educational standards.

Performance should be regarded and respected more than just paper qualification. Equally, education should not be politicized for whatever reason.

Policy makers should be mindful of policies that affect education .eg JAMB(UTME) regulation in admissions.

Teachers should be involved in examination activities and examination bodies should always publish examination reports and distribute it to various schools for them to hold school workshop for training of subject teachers on their areas of weaknesses observed in the students’ scripts with regards to following the marking scheme.

More schools should be built to increase accessibility by all. Cognitive, affective and psychomotor domain should be used for assessment of students.

Teachers’ welfare should be given priority by government to avoid unnecessary strikes in our educational sector while more qualified teachers should be employed to curb the present shortage of teachers in our schools.

Our civilian government should prove to the people that they are better than military government.

Teachers should be trained so that they can meet up with any new challenges Educational facilities should be upgraded to modern standards while teaching facilities should be adequately provided.

Corruption should be eliminated to the barest minimum by all stakeholders while government should increase its budgetary allocations to education to improve the standard of education in Nigeria.
