- In: Convention
It was a pretty terrific ASNE Convention by most accounts -- if we do say so ourselves.
Over three days, we listened to 25 inspiring speakers and panels.
We heard from Twitter CEO Dick Costolo and Sen. Marco Rubio, from Sandy Rowe and Jill Abramson, and from Kathleen Carroll and James Rosen.
We were blown away by the 42 high school students we met at the JCamp reception. They peppered us with questions; handed out business cards; and, all in all, left us hopeful and inspired about the future of journalism.

Improving Reliability: A Frank Talk about Errors, Plagiarism and Fabrication in Newsrooms
By Marina Demartini, University of Missouri student
Journalists learn about ethics in school and in the newsroom, but cases of plagiarism and fabrication of facts still happen in the field.
Michael Oreskes, senior managing editor of the Associated Press; Marilyn Thompson, Reuters Washington bureau chief; and, via Skype, Teresa Schmedding, the president American Copy Editors Society discussed this issue on the last day of ASNE's 2013 convention.
The panel's the moderator, Reuters columnist Jack Shafer, asked the speakers about ethics in journalism and how journalists can work together to find a solution for plagiarism and fabrication in newsrooms. For Oreskes, plagiarism is a violation of what's most important in journalism, the truth. Schmedding said the difference between journalists and bloggers who write from their basements is the journalistic credibility.

Diversity Matters
By Julia Lugon
One point was made clear during two diversity panels Tuesday: newsrooms are not reflecting the community.
During two diversity panels, Karen Magnuson, Rochester Democrat and Chronicle editor and vice president of news, and Keith Woods, NPR vice president for diversity in news and operations, discussed community representation and diversity in newsrooms.
ASNE's annual newsroom census, which was released on Tuesday, revealed that 12.37 percent of journalists belong to minority groups.

View from the C-Suite
By Fola Akinnibi, University of Maryland student
A panel of CEOs from some of the nation's largest media companies opened the 2013 ASNE Convention with a discussion on the evolution of their companies and the industry as a whole.
David Folkenflik of NPR led the panel, which included Gracia C. Martore of Gannett, Mark Thompson of The New York Times Co., Patrick J. Talamantes of McClatchy and Katharine Weymouth of The Washington Post.
Sticking to the convention's theme of reinvention, the panel focused on new advertising strategies and consumer engagement through new technology and existing forms of media.
2013 Newsroom Census
- By: ASNE staff
- On: 06/28/2013 17:03:25
- In: Newsroom diversity survey
Total newsroom employment declined by 6.4 percent in 2012 while the proportion of minorities in newsrooms remained about even, according to the annual census released today by the American Society of News Editors and the Center for Advanced Social Research.
There are about 38,000 full-time daily newspaper journalists at nearly 1,400 newspapers in the United States. That's a 2,600-person decrease from last year's 40,600. Of the 38,000 employees, about 4,700 or 12.37 percent are racial minorities; the percentage of minority employees has consistently hovered between 12 and 13 percent for more than a decade.
