Kelly Whines It Up
December 23, 2013 – If, as Gilbert and Sullivan wrote, a policeman’s lot is not a happy one, pity poor Ray Kelly. After 12 years as the longest-serving and most powerful police commissioner in New York City history, Kelly feels he is departing One Police Plaza misunderstood and unloved. Read full article here.

Serious journalism and media students on this campus don’t realize, or maybe “don’t imagine” is a better phrase, with whom they are competing for the best internships. It’s not just students from City University of New York or NYU and Fordham and other local higher ed institutions but The Ivy League, The Big Ten, Rutgers, The Big 12 and more. That’s because New York City is the nation’s media mecca and attracts the attention of fortune hunters from around the country if not the globe.
That realization caused this writer to connect early on with organizations like the Center for Communication, The Business Press Education Foundation, The American Society of Magazine Editors, New America Media, The Independent Press Association (now defunct), The Robert McCormick Foundation, The Ford Foundation, The Foreign Press Association of New York, the Poynter Institute and numerous others.
It also was the primary reason for starting the WORD. So, when a Colleague trumpets thef message (see below) celebrating D:F/M’s debauched journalism effort, I struggle to suppress the scream.

I went into journalism to fight for justice and encountered this eye opener at my first newspaper job in Rochester, New York, quite a while back: Women couldn’t be police reporters because the editors – white, male – insisted the beat was too dangerous for them to be in the streets; Italian Americans were not allowed to write metro news and were consigned to the sports section; blacks were not allowed in sports and Spanish Speaking people were not allowed in the building, let alone the newsroom.
And so I wanted to teach college where I thought I could continue a good fight. And, of course, that led to another eye opener.

Back in March, 2013, I wrote the post below on Hunter-L. It is a factually correct, straight forward description of the inner workings of the Department of Film and Media Studies. It was revelatory about D:F/M academic debauchery. Colleagues Kelly Anderson and Bernard Stein responded with posts on Hunter-L. I was surprised by their lack of candor in a public forum. And I will need to do another post to address Colleague Stein’s comments.

Pissed off by what seem like never ending revelations on Hunter-L, a main Hunter College listserv, and department memos echoing the listserv postings about the debauching of the Department of Film and Media Studies, a Colleague posted the following listserv comment, referring to me, the primary protagonist for disclosure and transparency.
