Center for Media Innovation at Point Park University’s Post

Here's something I wrote that was published recently in the Global Media Journal. I hope it can be of help and is of interest to anyone (especially #journalists and #humanrights researchers)dealing with potentially #disturbingdigitalcontent (e.g., gruesome images, videos) and support in protecting their #mentalwellbeing. It is furthermore intended to shed a light on the topic generally, point out existing research in the field (and respective research gaps) and raise awareness. After all, a lot is at stake - namely the #mentalhealth of individuals working on the 'digital frontline'! Other topical keywords #journalism #gruesomeimagery #disturbingdigitalcontent #eyewitnessmedia #UGC #trauma #PTSD Access to the paper is free!

I have spent the last 12 years studying and practicing the art of media storytelling for days like today — when it counts the most. Here is a piece I wrote and produced at Channel 3 this morning following the attempted assassination on former President Donald Trump. #journalism #morningnews #localnews

What do young audiences really need from the news?: Newsrooms must develop products and relationships with Gen Z and Gen Alpha just like tech companies and social platforms who figured that out long ago #digitalpublishing #journalism #onlinepublishing

🚀 Advancing News Engagement for the Next Generation 🌐📰 Reflecting on Jacob Granger's insights, here are three key takeaways for public broadcasters aiming to connect with Gen Z and Gen Alpha: 1️⃣ Digital Native Dynamics:📱Modern companies have set the standard in effective communication with young users. Journalists should align with values such as relatability, personalization, authenticity, and practical value to resonate with the under-26 audience. 2️⃣ Prioritize User Experience: 🛠️ Loyalty is conditional in a world where users won't stick with a product that doesn't function well. News outlets need to adopt a social-first approach, recognizing that Gen Z is less likely to intentionally visit websites. 3️⃣ Building Trust in a Skeptical Landscape:🤝 While young audiences are skeptical, they require guidance in navigating harmful information. Learn from content creators like Sophia Smith Galer FRSA , who addresses misinformation on platforms like TikTok. Newsrooms can invest in accessible, vertical video explainers to combat misinformation and establish credibility. Charting the course for the future of news engagement with the next generation! 🚀🌍 #NewsEngagement #GenZ #MediaLiteracy

To tackle greenwashing and climate disinformation, our member Aditi Tandon shared vital insights for #journalists in a webinar by Google News Initiative and DataLEADS: "For journalists, knowing how to identify #greenwashing and unethical practices is important to ensure that they put out accurate information which empowers informed decision making. Meanwhile amplifying authentically sustainable companies helps drive positive change and build #consumer support for ethical practices. By calling out greenwashing, journalists can support and educate consumers on malpractices. At the same time journalists play a crucial role in amplifying the voices of ethical companies and inspire consumer choices towards them. The basic, #goodjournalism practices -- asking many questions, talking to diverse sources and verifying information -- are the starting point for journalists to identify misinformation and greenwashing. #Ecofriendly, #organic, #natural, #green, #chemicalfree - there are so many misleading labels out there and a training on greenwashing helps journalists question and validate the authenticity behind such labels." Ending this week with a strong message. Have a nice weekend! #SustainableJournalism #EthicalReporting #ClimateAction #EcoFriendly #Disinformation

In the digital age, it can be difficult to distinguish between newsworthy images on media and social media platforms. Do you know how to tell the difference?

Every coin has two sides. I apply this principle to the way journalism operates today. While some media outlets simply report what happens, others explain why. I still believe there is room for good journalism that caters to its audience by exploring why things happen. With this strong belief, I started Greeniiac three years ago. I have been deeply investigating issues, curiously searching for the reasons behind them, and trying to share my findings in the best possible way. As I mentioned in my last post, I have high hopes for children and young minds, and I believe that educating and encouraging them to learn why will help them grow into great personalities. #thevirtualreporter #thinkwithgreeniiac #investigativejournalism #media #bringingtolight #education #personality
