The aggrieved or perceived aggrieved (particularly well funded tea party demonstrators) are more inclined to show up at demonstrations than the uninformed or those not affected by a given issue/action . The big difference is when the reporter gives the impression that the tiny minority is equal to the majority, instead of so stating the reality. By failing to state the contrast, the reporter creates a bias in favor of the minority voice. In days before video media, I well remember reporters writing something like this after newspaper or magazine photos showed "A crowd of thousands gathered in front of the courthouse . . . . " In the story itself there would then be reference to "a few (or 10 or two hundred) standing along side . . . ."

Hopefully we can have Sam back again when you can attend or we'll have a workshop on another topic soon that you're interested in attending. Colleen Belcher 2011-06-30T19:08:42Z Brandon Darnell comment-52780 2011-06-30T17:54:04Z 2011-06-30T17:54:04Z You don't accept (was it Nixon's?) "silent majority" theory? That said, most demonstrations are by their nature composed of people from one side of an issue. There may be counterprotests nearby, but look at the Westboro Baptist Church protesting at military funerals. If I only interview the people there, I have presented a very biased story. I remember covering the beginnings of the tea party in 2008. At the time, it was people protesting taxes. Who actually likes taxes? But I still had to find the other side, which was absent from all the demonstrations. And given three years, it's pretty clear that that helped the story be unbiased, rather than creating a bias. Brandon Darnell 2011-06-30T17:54:04Z Dale Kooyman comment-52748 2011-06-30T03:42:30Z 2011-06-30T03:42:30Z I attended the "Bias in Journalism" workshop held previously and it was excellent. Interesting how some media strive for that lack of bias. It is often very funny--funny strange and funny haha. In crowd demonstrations or meetings the vast majority will be holding signs or speaking for one side of the controversial issue. Then the reporter proudly and glibly says "BUT not everyone feels that way." She/he, in order to avoid "bias" has dug, scoured and searched until, finally she/he can find ONE dissenter to speak for the other side. The result is that the reporter creates bias for the reader or viewer in attempting to avoid bias, leaving the impression that that the one single voice was equal to the 100 others who were there. I've seen and read this over and over. Dale Kooyman 2011-06-30T03:42:30Z Janna Haynes comment-52735 2011-06-29T15:57:12Z 2011-06-29T15:57:12Z No!

We are fine-tuning our guidelines every day to guide our writers in best practices for our site. The short answer is that we actually don't allow direct advertisements or spam and anything that comes across like this will be pulled. So, someone who owns a business cannot write up an advertisement selling their services with pricing, etc. However, we do invite these contributors to work with us to find other angles they can write about while staying within our guidelines. We encourage copy-editing and, most importantly, ask for transparency. To achieve this, we require that everyone disclose any affiliations they have with their articles so their motives are clear to readers. I hope that answers your questions but if not I would be happy to elaborate. I can reached by phone at (916) 596-1963 or e-mail at casey@sacramentopress.com.

Redding is running against Dickinson in the 9th AD. Pugno is running against Pan in the 5th AD. Colleen, you really should do some fact checking before writing an article. This is really poor journalism. Henrietta Cisneros 2010-11-02T18:29:04Z Colleen Belcher comment-39944 2010-11-02T18:27:32Z 2010-11-02T18:27:32Z Thanks, Michael! I got Redding and Smith switched. Glad you caught that. Colleen Belcher 2010-11-02T18:27:32Z Oracle comment-39936 2010-11-02T17:22:15Z 2010-11-02T17:22:15Z I'm still not clear on which candidates Mayor Johnson is supporting. Anybody know? The balance of power on the council is in play.

I actually ask for extra pepper on my fries when I go to Burgers and Brew! Funny, that what pleases one person will make another say "wtf." :) HeyU 2010-11-02T05:05:00Z David Alvarez comment-38967 2010-10-15T07:59:14Z 2010-10-15T07:59:14Z I heard the echo as well but after tilting my head the right way (like the old RCA Dog Logo) I was able to tune in. I did have a suggestion for the next streaming video, if the presenter could possibly repeat any questions that would be great. Saved gas and time by watching the streaming broadcast at home making it all worthwhile.

Our microphone wasn't working very well so the audio is coming from a laptop. The room is quite big so that's causing the echo. I can send you the handout from this tomorrow via email, if you'd like. Colleen Belcher 2010-10-14T02:26:30Z PrincessFifiTrixibelle comment-38821 2010-10-14T02:21:31Z 2010-10-14T02:21:31Z thank you SO much for providing a virtual classroom with live online streaming video. I was caught in rush hour traffic and unable to attend. I got the email about the online link and tried to watch it on my laptop. I called Sac Press.com office and let them know to "release" my RSVP and give it to someone on the Wait List since enrollment was impacted. I tried watching the streaming video from 6:45 to 7:30 but the revereration/echo was so strong that the instructors speech was unintelligible. He looked like a highly informed fellow and I would LOVE to watch this again if you have archived it for future reference. The audio and video quality was quite poor - can you have someone "tweak it" and post it to archived lectures so folks can watch it later this week? You guys rock my world! What a great asset for our community.

LOPEZ comment-38233 2010-10-02T03:27:05Z 2010-10-02T03:27:05Z I admit my dereliction as far as not being able to make it to any previous Sacra Press Workshops. However, for better or worse, I was Laid Off on September 1st and now have lots of free time on my hands. Thus, I will try my best to attend the upcoming Workshop on October 6th, barring alien abduction. What is Lede Writing?

I'm excited. Writing ledes and structuring stories is hard stuff. I think anybody could benefit from this workshop.

I enjoyed Ms. Dugan's presentation, and it's never a bad idea to brush up on the basics of libel!

He's perfect for the workshop. Anyone who is interested in sports writing should go to this workshop.

Maybe I'll be able to catch the end of it.. If not, I hope those who do attend have a great time! Hopefully I'll be able to attend the next Sports Writing Workshop that is held.

I've been to so many events that I never would have even known about if it hadn't been for SacPress. It really helped me to gain a greater appreciation for Sacramento and it gave me the opportunity to get to know different people while doing something I love. Thanks SacPress!

He will be open to your personal questions at the end of the workshop.
