The State of the American Newspaper
http://ajr.newslink.org/special/
This site, part of the American Journalism Review (AJR) NewsLink, explores the condition of the American Newspaper in an era of increased media competition and conglomeration, decreased editorial independence, and a changing profile for the typical news story. The twelve-part report features stories on the print journalism industry from veteran, prize-winning reporters. For example, Pulitzer Prize winner James V. Risser writes on the loss of the independent American newspaper, CNN correspondent Peter Arnette examines the shrinking coverage of international news at city dailies, veteran Washington correspondents John Herbers and James McCarthy report on the lack of interest in hard news in the Nation's capitol, and in "Fear.com," Chip Brown, a former reporter for the Washington Post, investigates the efforts of American newspapers to deal with Internet competition. Other stories examine the publishing side of the issues and the fierce competition among those few papers still surviving in cities with more than one major daily. The State of the American Newspaper is extremely well designed and gives users the option of reading stories either in a linear format or via a hypertext table of contents. Other features include photo galleries, "databank" windows that give pertinent statistical snapshots, and an online (admittedly "unscientific") "quick poll." The State of the American Newspaper is an initiative of the Project for Excellence in Journalism and is funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts. [DC]

Digital Library Foundation Report: Preserving the Whole: A Two-Track Approach to Rescuing Social Science Data and Metadata -- Green, Ann, JoAnn Dionne, and Martin Dennis
Abstract:
http://www.clir.org/pubs/abstract/pub83abst.html
Full .pdf version:
http://www.clir.org/pubs/reports/pub83/pub83.pdf
Full text (html):
http://www.clir.org/pubs/reports/pub83/contents.html
"Preserving the Whole appears as the second publication of the Digital Library Federation and reflects the Federation's interests both in advancing the state of the art of social science data archives and in building the infrastructure necessary for the long-term maintenance of digital information." This 53-page report, published this month, considers migration as a preservation strategy for data currently stored in obsolete technical or deteriorating textual formats and offers conclusions regarding the importance of maintaining file format codebooks and the usefulness of the technically obsolete column binary format in terms of migration and recovery strategies. Note: the .pdf version cannot be accessed from the abstract, and we were unable to access the html version at time of publication.

http://www.brothermalcolm.net/mxcontent.html
"Designed to be a resource for scholarship in Black Studies," this Website offers a chronology of Malcolm X's life and a comprehensive listing of his speeches, writings, and interviews, from his letter of application to Islam in 1947 to his "last message" in 1965.

It concludes that one in five people had difficulty meeting basic needs, such as food, shelter, and health care, in 1995 and found that "more than one quarter of children (29 percent) lived in a household in which someone reported difficulty meeting at least one basic need." Substantial correlative data is given concerning race, gender, region, employment, income, educational attainment, and other typical demographic categories. [DC]

9. Dick: The Movie
http://www.dickthemovie.com/indexmain.html
Twenty-five years ago this week, President Richard M. Nixon announced that he would be resigning from the presidency, "effective noon tomorrow." Since then, historians, journalists, politicians, and pundits have debated both the nature of his guilt and the stature of his presidency. Nixon himself spent the rest of his life working to recuperate his legacy by fashioning himself in books and appearances as an elder statesman. Supporters have always pointed to Nixon's opening of relations with China, his handling of detente, and his often innovative domestic policies as evidence of his historical worth. Detractors have argued that he violated the public trust and sought to circumvent the Constitution. But the argument over Nixon's eventual place in history is only half of the story. The scandal of Watergate and the resignation it prompted have changed the nature of both politics and journalism in Washington for the last quarter of a century and apparently for the foreseeable future. Each of the four elected presidents who have succeeded Nixon have felt the shadow of Watergate fall on their own presidencies.

CNN (1) offers comprehensive coverage of the anniversary with stories and links addressing the scandal, the legacy, and the Press's role in both. The Richard Nixon Library (2) has made available transcripts of some of Nixon's audio tapes, including the release this past February of the last of the "Abuse of Power" tapes, revealing the extent of Nixon's involvement in the cover-up. PBS's American Experience (3) is an even-handed assessment of Nixon's legacy, exploring both the scandal and the successes of his domestic and foreign policy agendas. The Nixon Links (4) is a directory providing links to news articles and commentary on Nixon, transcripts of Nixon speeches and writings, Watergate-related sites, and audio and video sources on Nixon. The Richard Nixon Audio Archive (5) boasts extended audio excerpts from Nixon's speeches and press conferences. "Nixon, Watergate, and the Study of the Presidency" (6) offers a scholarly examination of the impact of the scandal on the institutions of the presidency and the press. The Washington Post (7) gives a retrospective on the scandal from the point of view of the journalists and editor who broke it. "Curbing Corruption: The Media's Work Recommendations for Action" (8), a working paper from Transparency International, an NGO dedicated to increasing government accountability, examines the change in the media's standards vis a vis political scandal from Watergate to Monica Lewinsky. Finally, Dick: The Movie (9) is the official Website for the recently released film of the same name, a satirical look at the Watergate crisis in the White House, which reviewer Roger Ebert favorably compares in conception to Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.[DC]
