Demystifying Media At The University Of Oregon

2017 Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer E. Jason Wambsgans is a staff photographer at the Chicago Tribune, where he has spent the last 15 years covering stories that have taken him from the vanishing rainforests of Madagascar to the war in Afghanistan, and the last 5 years intensively documenting the problem of Chicago’s gun violence. Wambsgans studied fine art and cinema at Central Michigan University. Throughout a career of wide-ranging assignments, his editors have counted on his ability to inventively meet challenges, whether aesthetic, technical or conceptual, while gracefully conveying the human experience. Wambsgans won the 2017 Pulitzer Prize Winner in Feature Photography for what the judges observed was “a superb portrayal of a 10-year-old boy and his mother striving to put the boy’s life back together after he survived a shooting in Chicago.” Watch our interview with Jason in the studio: https://youtu.be/zkRvCRzDG2k Watch Jason's talk: https://youtu.be/LqZ7cG1o0ok Want to listen to this interview a

Changes in media markets have put local investigative reporting particularly at risk. But new combinations of data and algorithms may make it easier for journalists to discover and tell the stories that hold institutions accountable. Based on his book Democracy’s Detectives: The Economics of Investigative Journalism, James T. Hamilton explores how the future of accountability reporting will involve stories by, through, and about algorithms. Dr. James Hamilton is the Hearst Professor of Communication, Director, of the Journalism Program, and Director of Undergraduate Studies in Communication at Stanford University. Prior to joining the Stanford faculty, Hamilton taught at Duke University’s Sanford School of Public Policy, where he directed the De Witt Wallace Center for Media and Democracy. He earned a BA in Economics and Government (summa cum laude) and PhD in Economics from Harvard University.
