event
Friday, April 20, 2012
Diederich College of Communication, Marquette University, Milwaukee,

The inaugural Marquette University/Arthur W. Page Corporate
Communication Commons event will focus on the relationship between
corporations and society. What expectations do key stakeholders have
for corporations as purveyors of social value and how do we communicate
in ways that allow these stakeholders to understand and believe the ways
corporates can and do meet these expectations.
The Corporate Communication Commons will provide an opportunity for
corporate communication professionals to come together to consider how
corporations embody social human values in ways that resonate with key
stakeholders. The conference will consider issues that exist at the
intersection of corporate identity, shared values and stakeholder trust.

Maritime Security Forum – March 14 2012
United States Coast Guard Academy, New London, Connecticut
The Surface Navy Association along with the Coast Guard Cuttermen
Association are
sponsoring our second Maritime Security Forum, entitled “Maritime
Security:
Guarding Our Country and Our Way of Life” to be held March 14, 2012 at
the
United States Coast Guard Academy, New London, Connecticut.
This event will bring Navy, Coast Guard, Industry, Inter-agency and
International stakeholders together to discuss the Cooperative Strategy
for
21st Century Sea power and how it applies to maritime security.
At this event we will examine the threats to America and its allies,
both
large and small. We will look into how disruptions to maritime commerce
have
global implications and how homeland defense begins far from our shores,
and
involves a broad spectrum of participants, each with vital capability
and
capacity. We will see how armed services and civilian agencies
cooperate to
share information and act upon that information and how industry
contributes
to global maritime domain awareness. We will show how technology,
operations, policy, and information sharing must be coordinated to
achieve
maritime security.
We are presenting leaders who can address operations, policy,
technology,
and above all the importance of partnerships to achieve maritime
security.
No individual service or organization can solely ensure maritime
security.

38.) Explainer-In-Chief, Newsbound, San Francisco, CA
Newsbound is seeking an experienced writer/journalist to work full-time
on an innovative, angel-funded news product being developed in San
Francisco.
With an emphasis on backstory and explanation, Newsbound is breaking
away from the breaking news cycle. We’re working to engage users who are
motivated to learn about a particular news narrative, but feel
overwhelmed by the pace and fluency of the 24-hour news system.
The news experience we’re building features a unique mix of explanatory
pieces and backstory-oriented content. As our explainer-in-chief, you’ll
work primarily on the former.
When we tackle a fresh narrative, your chief task will be to identify
the key concepts, systems, characters, and terminology that make the
story comprehensible. You will use existing research and reporting, as
well as expert input, to produce a series of pieces that illuminate
these “basics” for newcomers. In many cases, the content you generate
will be converted into animated videos and you will collaborate with
Newsbound’s design team on the storyboarding and pre-production process.
We are looking to hire someone who …
– is a generalist, with interests in a broad range of topics
– is frustrated by the lack of context in most news products
– is comfortable working in a fluid, experimental startup environment
– is willing to have their work regularly tested and critiqued by
in-the-flesh users
– is willing to work extended hours as needed, including some evenings
and weekends
– can write quickly in a conversational and accessible style
Applicants should also have …
– 4+ years experience writing and/or editing on deadline in an online
editorial environment
– A bachelors degree, preferably in journalism, education, history,
economics, or political science
– Thorough understanding of editorial best practices
– Experience leading independent projects and managing a small team
You’re especially likely to catch our eye if you have previous
experience with explanatory journalism and video/radio production.
We’re offering competitive salary, benefits, and equity. If interested,
please email: josh (at) newsbound (dot) com. Send us a resume, clips,
and a link to your favorite piece of explanation on the web. Finally,
tell us a bit about yourself and why this opportunity interests you.
