I am really excited to look at the local news gathering process. I hope it allows me to start establishing contacts with possible mentors and create a better view on the news cycle in Arkansas, on the inside.鈥 After she graduates in 2022, Miller plans to work as an investigative reporter. 鈥淚 love working in print and online journalism so much. I have the 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock School of Mass Communication to thank,鈥 Miller said. 鈥淚鈥檝e got skills that I know will be useful with the internship. The professors have always been so supportive and willing to help me reach these internships and my career goals. I couldn鈥檛 do it without their support. Every journalism professor I鈥檝e met has always been willing to help but my advisor and supervisor of The Forum, Professor Rhodes, has been really great about encouraging me to go for all these opportunities.鈥 Both students are interning at the Daily Record this summer. Publisher Wesley Brown said he welcomes the opportunity to help guide and train promising young journalists through the Arkansas Newspaper Foundation internship program. “As a member of the Arkansas Press Association, we are excited to work with the Arkansas Newspaper Foundation to provide internships to outstanding students from colleges and universities across the state looking to enter the journalism field,鈥 Brown said. 鈥淎s a longtime journalist and industry advocate, I look forward to working with these budding journalists from 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock this summer so they can further their educational experience.” The Arkansas Newspaper Foundation is a nonprofit organization that provides support, professional development, and educational opportunities to APA member newspapers. ANF has offered internships for more than two decades. This year, ANF will fully fund four full internships and two half-internships for student journalists. The foundation is paying the internship costs to help Arkansas newspapers recover from the economic effects of COVID-19. In the past, newspapers participating in the internship program were expected to match ANF鈥檚 grant for a 10-week internship. Since last year, the ANF Board of Directors fully funded the internships for a total of $15,000 for the summer interns. 鈥淚t鈥檚 an obligation of the Arkansas Newspaper Foundation to support and promote newspapers in this state, so it was a simple decision to continue to fully fund this vital program,鈥 said Rusty Fraser, ANF board president and publisher of the Stone County Leader in Mountain View. 鈥淭hese interns get a front-row seat in a professional newsroom and can help immediately in reporting on the communities our newspapers serve.鈥]]> 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock professor to lead April 5 panel on Media and Polarization /news-archive/2021/04/02/media-polarization/ Fri, 02 Apr 2021 20:57:21 +0000 /news/?p=78700 ... 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock professor to lead April 5 panel on Media and Polarization]]> A University of Arkansas at Little Rock professor will lead a panel discussion on how members of the media affect the polarization of politics.听 Dr. April Chatham-Carpenter, chair of the Department of Applied Communication at 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock, will moderate the 鈥淢edia and Polarization鈥 panel discussion held at 6:30 p.m. Monday, April 5, via Zoom. The panel will feature Philip Martin of the Democrat Gazette; Donna Stephens, journalism professor at the University of Central Arkansas; Gwen Moritz, editor of Arkansas Business; and Wesley Brown, publisher of the Daily Record. The panelists will share their views about the media鈥檚 influence on political polarization. Attendees will then have an opportunity to ask questions. The panel is sponsored by the 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock Department of Applied Communication, the Main Library of the Central Arkansas Library System, and by Braver Angels of Arkansas, a nonprofit organization Chatham-Carpenter co-leads along with Glen White, a semi-retired psychologist who will also serve as a moderator for the panel. 鈥淚 chose to get involved in Braver Angels because the mission of the organization is consistent with my 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock department鈥檚 mission to 鈥榗o-create better social worlds through positive communication,鈥欌 Chatham-Carpenter said. 鈥淎s a member of this organization, I am dedicated to working towards depolarization within relationships, and recognize that the news we consume plays an important part in what we believe about the other side. Americans are increasingly divided into bubbles and echo chambers with limited exposure to the other side, consuming news that confirms their opinions and stereotypes. I am hoping that this panel will help bring to our level of awareness what we can do as citizens to better educate ourselves about these issues.鈥 Launched in 2016, Braver Angels is an organization that brings Red and Blue Americans together in a working alliance. Recent polls show that a majority of Americans feel the country is more divided than ever. Through programs and workshops, Braver Angels creates opportunities for meaningful discussion among members of opposing political parties. 鈥淥ur goal is not to push an agenda or change participants鈥 minds, but rather, to encourage respectful discussions among those who value our country and its people over a political party,鈥 White said.听听听 The event is free and open to the public.
