Journalism and Activism: Lunch with Louden 1/5/17

Published: Jan. 5, 2017, 8 p.m.

Journalism and Activism: the witness and the witnessed.\n\nIn this day and age the world, and especially the online world, is awash in communication. The vast majority of this communication, however, is not news and especially not journalism. (If you did any of the homework reading you will recognise this quote from AmericanPressInstitute.ORG).\n\nGuest journalist Cheryl Hatch will help us understand the difference.\n\nFull disclosure. Cheryl and I have known each other for over 20 years. She was my husband\u2019s journalism student. We met when she returned from Iraqi Kurdistan during Desert Storm. I have had the pleasure of witnessing Cheryl\u2019s career evolve.\n\nCheryl is just back from a trip (as a journalist) to Standing Rock and she and I will be attending the Women\u2019s Rally in Washington DC on January 21st. She will attend as a journalist. I will attend as an activist.\n\n******\n\nFollow Lunch with Louden on Facebook\n\nFollow Coffee Party USA on Facebook\xa0and visit our Web Site\n\nBecome a BE THE MEDIA supporter by becoming an annual member or a monthly sustaining member.
