Public Interest Journalism

How do you define 'local relevance' when assessing news and culture? How do you define 'global relevance' when assessing news and culture? Perhaps you prefer to locate relevant information at its source rather than through the news media . Where have you found public interest journalism of relevance to you over the past twenty-four hours, if anywhere?  Who truly knows about relevance to the public? Who truly knows about credibility, comprehension, veracity, sensitivity and usability in relation to the provision of necessary news? What do you know about the Civility Party of Australia and how do you know it? You may be aware that the party has no influence whatsoever in Australia, or anywhere else for that matter. But why does the Civility Party, and civility itself, have so little influence in the world? Quality news in the 21st century is associated with veracity, relevance, appropriate attribution and usability .    How, if at all, have you been investing in civil

What do you know about the ways in which people access news about climate change ? How do you attempt to locate the truth ? Perhaps you have been looking at an atlas .  Perhaps you have been looking at wildfires . Perhaps you have been looking at poetry .   A burning Taiga is not right. Who now knows the planet's plight? Why must forests often die To name our fears 'prosperity'? From the warming deeps and skies, Burn the fires of greedy lies, Formed on winds while life expires Through fossil fuels, disease and fires. In powerful nature, dangers start. Extreme events rip lives apart, As muddied nations feel defeat Even as the flood goes in retreat. Let us clamour to remain Outside the furnace to sustain A gentle world within our grasp  Or die with our last, heated gasp.   While your car spewed out its sneers, And warmed the air for a thousand years, Did you smile and feel quite free As your actions also warmed the sea?   The world already burns in fright. Who killed the for

The public has the right to know the truth about influential individuals, groups and organisations. That right is associated with the assessment of social influence and how it is used and abused, especially politically. The public also has a right to know the causes of social influence, particularly when those causes are associated with unjustified access to excessively influential media outlets. Not everything in the public interests involves reports about corruption and organised crime . Although organised crime can only flourish when public administration and government practices are associated with corruption and/or incompetence, the public has a right to know about organisations devoted to overcoming corruption and addressing incompetence. How do you attempt to prevent vulnerable persons from making terrible mistakes? How do you attempt to encourage powerful persons to act appropriately? Of course, people acting against the public interest are likely to find investigations

What do you know about legal issues relating to journalism, of any sort? What do you know about financial issues relating to journalism, particularly quality journalism? Perhaps you would prefer to pay for public interest satire rather than public interest journalism. Yet quality satire, in the public interest, depends upon quality knowledge acquired through quality journalism. That is especially the case when a satirist acquires relevant knowledge first-hand, through the practice of public interest journalism. Where, if anywhere, are appropriate legal and financial structures available to public interest journalists, including public interest citizen journalists and public interest satirists? You may expect public interest journalism to be funded by the public, or by advertising or by governments or by philanthropists, or by a combination of those sources of revenue. But should public interest journalism be freely accessible to the public, without charge, or should it mainly
