About Our Guest:
Putsata Reang is an author and journalist whose writings have appeared in a variety of national and international publications, including the New York Times, Politico, the Guardian, Ms, The Seattle Times and the San Jose Mercury News. She is the author of a recent memoir Ma and Me, which talks about her leaving Cambodia at 11 months old, and moving to rural Oregon, and how coming out—and marrying a woman in her 40s—broke her relationship with her Mother.
Putsata was born in Cambodia, and raised in rural Oregon, surrounded by berry farms where she and her family hustled to earn their middle class existence. Her memoir explores the glades of displacement felt by children of refugees, and the overlay of emotional exile that comes with being gay.
Putsata has lived and worked in more than a dozen countries, including Cambodia, Afghanistan and Thailand. She is an alum of Hedgebrook, Mineral School and Kimmel Harding Nelson residencies. She is a 2019 Jack Straw fellow. In 2005, she received an Alicia Patterson Journalism Fellowship that took her back to Cambodia to report on landless farmers.
She currently teaches memoir writing at the University of Washington School of Professional & Continuing Education. Her book recently won a PNW book award.

Karen McIntyre is an assistant professor of multimedia journalism in the Richard T. Robertson School of Media and Culture at Virginia Commonwealth University and researcher of constructive journalism.
In this lecture, Dr. McIntyre discusses her work and key lessons from her forthcoming book, Perspectives on Social-responsibility Reporting: Theory, Practice, and Effects, which is co-edited with University of Oregon Associate Professor Nicole Dahmen (forthcoming, 2020, Peter Lang).
This book will provide an in-depth examination of genres of news reporting that share a common goal — reporting beyond the problem-based narrative, thereby exemplifying a commitment to the social responsibility theory of the press, which asserts that journalists have a duty to consider society’s best interests during the newsmaking process. Such news forms include genres like constructive journalism, solutions journalism, peace journalism, and restorative narrative, among others.
Audience questions have been cut from the Q&A portion of Dr. McIntyre's lecture, but her responses to those questions are included in this recording.

She previously served on the AEJMC's Electronic News Division and Newspaper and Online News Division.

In this podcast we catch up with Dr. Claire Wardle, who visited the SOJC as a Demystifying Media guest lecturer in 2016 to discuss how Silicon Valley was driving changes in online publishing. We were lucky to have her back in our newly renovated podcast studio to share her research on the rapidly evolving strategies that promoters of disinformation are using to influence public opinion--and what journalists can do about it.
We are also joined by Sydney Dauphinais, news director at KWVA, the 24-Hour campus radio station here at the University of Oregon.
About our guest:
Claire Wardle is the co-founder and Executive Chair of First Draft, the world’s foremost nonprofit focused on research and practice to address mis- and disinformation. In 2017 she co-authored a report for the Council of Europe entitled, Information Disorder: Toward an interdisciplinary framework for research and policymaking. Previously, she was a Research Fellow at the Shorenstein Center for Media, Politics and Public Policy, and also the Research Director at the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia Journalism School.
Not only did Dr. Wardle give an incredible talk about the role of disinformation in the 2020 US election during her visit, but she also led a full-day training for students, professional journalists, and communications scholars to give them the tools to respond to this very real threat.

Each year, the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication recognizes the tough, ethical decisions made in the newsroom and in the field—decisions that make a difference in the community but are often invisible to the public. The Ancil Payne Award for Ethics in Journalism presents a $10,000 annual prize to a media organization or journalist who reports with integrity despite personal, political, or economic pressure in honor of Seattle broadcasting legend, Ancil Payne.
Joining Damian for this episode of the Demystifying Podcast are Minnesota Public Radio correspondents Matt Sepic and Laura Yuen, who were part of the investigative team that was named this year's Ancil Payne Award winner.
During their interview, Yuen and Sepic discuss what it was like to report on their newsroom’s coverage of the fall from grace of one of its network’s biggest stars--Garrison Keillor, producer and host of "A Prairie Home Companion"--after he was accused of inappropriate behavior at the height of the #MeToo movement.

She’ll discuss how to integrate climate change into health, business, real estate, arts and science and environmental coverage, regardless of scientific expertise--and why it’s important.
Disclaimer: Listeners should note that we experienced some technical problems during the second half of this recording that make some parts of this talk harder to hear. However, given the interest in this topic, we have decided to publish it with this disclaimer.

Robinson is a Professor of Journalism at UW-Madison’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Her 2018 book, Networked News, Racial Divides: How Power & Privilege Shape Progressive Communities, explores how digital platforms enable and constrain citizens – especially those in marginalized communities – who produce and share information in the public sphere about racial achievement disparities in the K-12 education system. The book is meant to be a guide for journalists, politicians, activists and others on how to navigate information networks to improve public deliberation. This lecture summarizes many of the key lessons from her book.
Sue is currently at work on two additional book projects — one on Trump and the media with Matt Carlson and Seth Lewis, and one on media trust projects.

Before taking up his role in Cuba, he was the BBC Correspondent in Venezuela under Hugo Chavez and Mexico / Central America during some of the most violent years of the drug war. Will was previously the Americas Editor at the BBC World Service Radio, based in London and Miami and has covered the region extensively for over twenty years.
In this podcast, Grant will discuss being a journalist in Venezuela, Mexico and Cuba, three of the countries that have forged the biggest headlines in Latin America over the past decade.
Each country is different. Yet for reporters, there are certain similarities that can help us to produce informed, objective and balanced journalism in these fascinating nations. Whether dealing with political pressure from hostile authorities or having an awareness of personal security issues, understanding how to operate in the region can only strengthen the rich tradition of storytelling from Latin America as a whole.
Will Grant graduated with First Class Honours from Edinburgh University and gained his Masters degree from the University of London’s Institute of Latin American Studies.

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.”

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.
