On April 24, the Center for Journalism Ethics at the University of Wisconsin will host its 12th annual conference in Madison. "Journalism Ethics & The Crisis in Local News" conference will bring together news-media professionals, non-profit news leaders, media innovators, academics, students and the public to address the crisis in local journalism, with special attention to media ethics.
The conference is designed to provide a better understanding of the factors driving the crisis as well as concrete ideas for strengthening and protecting local journalism. The center is offering travel stipends, providing a way for local journalists from around the country to attend. The organizers seek up to 10 people who might attend with a $1,000 stipend. They want the group to be focused on local news in a meaningful way and to be diverse across such things as: race, ethnicity, gender and age; market size; medium; and pedigree (legacy newsrooms, startups, community publishers, ethnic press, etc.) If you would like to be considered, email us this week and we'll relay your interest.
