\u201cThe only thing you can plan for in life is uncertainty, and the pandemic reaffirms that,\u201d Parish says. \u201cCovering such a complex story is a responsibility I do not take lightly. I pay attention to the numbers \u2014 how many people have been tested, the number of confirmed cases, the death toll. That data, paired with personal stories, localizes a global situation and highlights how Centre County has been impacted. I\u2019ve learned more than I thought possible in nearly three months of COVID-19 coverage. It\u2019s not easy, but I know it has and will continue to make me a better storyteller.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adds Weidenhof: \u201cThe Campus<\/em>\u2019 adviser my freshman year, Cheryl Hatch, always told us that reporting is about being able to adapt. This is absolutely good practice for that. In the span of a couple of months, we\u2019ve had to change all of our beats, become health reporters, then labor reporters, then move back into our beats while still figuring out how to cover the pandemic. That\u2019s at least something I can take away from this positively.\u201d<\/p>\n Although the mostly rural and suburban areas they report on have not been \u201chotspots\u201d for the coronavirus outbreak, the pandemic still works its way into almost every story they cover.<\/p>\n \u201cAs a journalist, my primary role is to inform the public through storytelling, and good storytelling demands context,\u201d Giacomelli says. \u201cSo at this point, stories about school board budget proposals or hospital wing construction cannot be told without addressing how the COVID-19 crisis may have an impact.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSince mid-March, I\u2019ve written perhaps a handful of stories that haven\u2019t in some way pertained to the virus,\u201d says Weidenhof. \u201cThe pandemic and the resulting economic impact of mitigation efforts have wormed their way into every facet of a local newspaper\u2019s pages, from work and school closures, to health worries, to municipal governments figuring out how to prepare for the ensuing drop in tax revenue.\u201d<\/p>\n These journalists have found their news sources and most of the general public don\u2019t harbor hostility toward the news media.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I started a year ago, I was shocked at how forthcoming and accessible most people were,\u201d Parish says. \u201cThat responsiveness has only grown. The media is no stranger to being vilified, but at the end of the day, we\u2019re storytellers tasked with reporting the truth. County commissioners, public health professionals and school administrators recognize the widespread feeling of uncertainty, and most want to provide answers. Officials aren\u2019t embarrassed to admit when they don\u2019t have them yet.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGauging sources is a big part of being a good journalist, and it\u2019s important to strike a balance between being sensitive to and empathetic about deeply personal stories, and advocating to sources that those stories be told,\u201d Giacomelli says. \u201cEvery source is different. Some people love to talk \u2014 about anything and everything \u2014 and others, not so much.\u201d<\/p>\n An Allegheny education definitely helped them navigate a new career in rapidly changing times, they say.<\/p>\n \u201cAllegheny\u2019s Journalism in the Public Interest Program pushed me to honor that eagerness and develop an understanding of journalistic integrity and the essentiality of journalistic freedom in democratic systems,\u201d says Giacomelli. The small, but powerful, team of Allegheny educators committed to the JPI program has worked tirelessly to engage students in the art, history and the profession of journalism. I chose to be part of the professional journalism world because of them, and continue to learn more every day. And The Campus<\/em> showed me what a newsroom is \u2014 a collection of eccentric people, often buzzed on caffeine and always ready to tell stories.\u201d<\/p>\n Says Weidenhof: \u201cA year before this all hit, I was writing a fake article about a make-believe measles outbreak for my epidemiology final. Now, I\u2019m writing real articles about an actual coronavirus pandemic for a newspaper. This is significantly less fun.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAllegheny taught me to attack challenges head-on, and The Campus<\/em> prepared me for just about anything,\u201d says Parish. \u201cFormer staffers will tell you that my unofficial title as editor was \u2018crisis manager.\u2019 With computers crashing, stories falling through and technology snafus happening more often than I still care to admit, we overcame every challenge. Fortitude is the mentality I continue to live by. In the event that I forget, my office \u2014 located in a State College apartment \u2014 is decorated with framed Campus<\/em> newspapers, my Allegheny diploma, and my email usually has a message from former professors who continue to encourage me from afar.\u201d<\/p>\n Source: Academics, Publications & Research<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A year ago, Marley Parish, Alex Weidenhof and Ellis Giacomelli had just received their diplomas from Allegheny College.

The incivility of bigotry is the incapacity of our society to rationalize and reason with disparate political objectives and constituencies,\u201d Heffner, host of \u201cThe Open Mind\u201d on PBS, said to 100 students, faculty, staff and community members gathered in the Tillotson Room of the Tippie Alumni Center.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you have a bigoted attitude or mindset it precludes you from having an exchange that is thoughtful and deliberative and fruitful in what it yields.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Heffner has covered American politics, civic life and Millennials since the 2008 presidential campaign. \u00a0He founded and edited SCOOP08 and SCOOP44, the first-ever national student newspapers covering the 2008 campaign and the Obama administration.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Open Mind\u201d is billed as a \u201cthoughtful excursion into the world of ideas across politics, media, technology, the arts and all realms of civic life,\u201d and is the longest-running public broadcast in the history of American television.<\/p>\n Heffner\u2019s lecture, \u201cCivil Discourse in an Uncivil Age: The Quest for a Post-Partisan Citizenship,\u201d was hosted by the President\u2019s Office, the Center for Political Participation, Journalism in the Public Interest, and the Provost\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n The 2016 presidential primary campaign epitomized \u201cthe overall bigotry\u201d that mars our discourse, Heffner said. Increasingly, we see each other not as Americans but as Democrats or Republicans, liberals or conservatives, he said.<\/p>\n That view results in a \u201crefusal to disagreeably agree,\u201d to compromise, Heffner said.<\/p>\n \u201cThere is a deliberative process that is supposed to engender disagreement debate and, ultimately, some declaration: the Declaration of Independence, the Declaration of Human Rights, whatever that may be, those declaration of joint values are now quite absent in the overall political picture of our country.\u201d<\/p>\n In the political arena, the inability to compromise leads to dysfunction and a lack of bipartisan support, Heffner said.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are no common priorities,\u201d he said. \u201cIf there are no common priorities, then the game is tit for tat. The game is a battle of rhetoric. \u2026 (American politics) has always been hardball, but it\u2019s not always been a sport that has objectives for partisan, political or individual gain as opposed to collective gain.\u201d<\/p>\n That\u2019s not to say there\u2019s no hope. Heffner\u2019s visit included a breakfast workshop and classes with students, which he noted in this speech.<\/p>\n \u201cThere were young people at your college,\u201d he said, \u201cwho were quite energized and proudly considering their responsibility in upending the cycle of incivility.\u201d<\/p>\n Source: Academics, Publications & Research<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The \u201cincivility of bigotry\u201d has resulted in a society unable to come together across difference, Alexander Heffner said during a keynote lecture at Allegheny College on Thursday. \u201cThe incivility of bigotry does not mean the incivility of purely racism or xenophobia or nativism.

The public is invited for cake and an open house.<\/p>\n Tarbell was born in Erie County on November 5, 1857 and grew up in Titusville. The only woman to matriculate at Allegheny College in 1876 and graduate in 1880, Tarbell set a standard for investigative reporting that journalists today continue to hold high.<\/p>\n \u201cI think Ida Tarbell\u2019s legacy is something that resonates deeply with the work we do for The Campus,\u201d said Christina Bryson, the college newspaper\u2019s editor-in-chief. \u201cShe never let anything or anyone stop her from doing her journalistic duty. Ida teaches us that it\u2019s our duty as journalists to report the truth no matter how tough it may be to actually report. And I think as long as we continue working towards that goal of fairness and accuracy while also informing the public of the tougher issues, then we as student journalists are honoring Ida Tarbell\u2019s legacy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Tarbell is best known for her 1904 book \u201cThe History of the Standard Oil Company,\u201d in which she revealed the unethical means used by John D. Rockefeller to monopolize the early oil industry. Eight years later, as a result of Tarbell\u2019s investigative work, the Supreme Court issued a decision to break up the Standard Oil trust. <\/p>\n In 1999 the New York University journalism department ranked \u201cThe History of the Standard Oil Company\u201d fifth in a listing of the top 100 journalistic works of the 20th century.<\/p>\n Tarbell was a trustee of Allegheny College for many years. The Ida M. Tarbell Collection at Allegheny College contains her professional papers and book collection. Her papers, which represent more than 17,000 items, are digitized and accessible from the college library\u2019s website.<\/p>\n The Campus newspaper has served the Allegheny College community since 1876.

Fellow journalist Brian Castner joined Hatch as part of a weeklong visit to Campus Consortium partners in North Carolina\u2019s Triad region<\/a> at the invitation of the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting. Rather than simply considering the number of deaths, the journalists examined the efforts by local communities and the U.S. military to try to contain the spread of Ebola in Liberia. They also reported on the celebrations of Watch Night and the expected reopening of schools, which had been closed for more than six months. The journalists received a grant from the Pulitzer Center to help fund part of their travel in December 2015 and January 2015. During their week in North Carolina, Hatch and Castner spoke to journalism students, senior ROTC cadets, student journalists on campus newspapers, and faculty members. They also gave two public talks to community members.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/sites.allegheny.edu\/news\/files\/2020\/05\/IMG_1093-300x200.jpg\")
