LOS ANGELES AND THE MANIPULATION OF NATURE

ESSAY QUESTION WEEK 3 (2.5 pages): This week’s essay will address the manipulation of non-human nature that has defined and will continue to define Los Angeles and Southern California as we move into the foreseeable future. I’d like you to discuss and explain the strained relationship Los Angeles has had with the natural world: non-human animal habitat, riparian landscapes, parkland, (floods and  fires), and the general lack of attention paid to or the complete disregard of the native flora and fauna. Also explain where our SoCal/LA water comes from, its limitations and scarcity, how it makes it to us, and other challenges associated with future supply. What are some of the past and contemporary debates regarding water usage in SoCal and….

Prompt: How should news organizations approach the increasing volume of sensitive material posted online or otherwise released by organization such as WikiLeaks, The Smoking Gun, Cryptoma, etc? Does it matter how the information was obtained, whether that can even be determined?

The paper should examine the numerous ethical issues raised by this growing repository of material. To what extent are news organizations being co-opted by foreign intelligence services and agenda-driven clearinghouses for classified or sensitive material? Are the media complicit in criminal behavior if the material appears to have been illegally obtained? (You may also discuss terror propaganda as a separate category that raises similar issues of ethics).

Media executives inevitably argue that once newsworthy material is made publicly available, news organizations have an obligation to evaluate it….

watch one of the AAAS news briefing live streams. Pretend you’re on assignment to write a 600-1,000-word news article about what is presented at the news briefing. IMPORTANT: It is not necessary to cover everything that is being discussed in the briefing! Usually, that’s impossible. Instead, try to focus on the main topic and those contributions by the scientists presenting their research that you find the most newsworthy. Keep track of who says what and make sure to have the names and affiliations correct. Do background research if necessary. Please DO NOT write a summary of the news briefing. Rather, take as many notes as possible, and then think about which parts that were discussed would make for a coherent and newsworthy story. You cannot go into every….
