The Columbia Graduate School of Journalism has announced that Jelani Cobb will be its new dean. Cobb is a professor at the school, a staff writer at The New Yorker, an author, a documentary producer, and the director of the Ira A. Lipman Center For Journalism and Civil and Human Rights.
On this week’s Kicker, Cobb speaks with Kyle Pope, editor and publisher of CJR, about the role of journalism at a politically fraught time, diversity efforts at the J-school and in journalism, and the high cost of degrees at institutions like Columbia.
@GovKathyHochul – With all you have to do in 2021, please support NY State Healthy Workplace Bill passage to make #WorkplaceAndAcademicBullying illegal. Based on my research & experiences, I believe the law could add impetus to other nondiscrimination laws on the books.
Rush Limbaugh Bites the Dust – https://t.co/CuWtjkbMNb – I never met Rush Limbaugh, though I most certainly encountered #RushLimboughs in every newsroom where I worked and every campus where I taught journalism. The grace period of De mortuis nil nisi bonum ends pretty soon.
Michael Schlicht, Coordinator, New York Healthy Workplace Advocates, Posted on his Facebook Page, December 16.
“Due to the pandemic, lobbying in Albany will a bit different in 2021 with social distancing guidelines and the possibility of coming into contact with someone who may have Covid-19 and or be asymptomatic of infection.
I, that’s me, Gregg Morris, would prefer to trek to Abany, as I have in the past, to lobby but I’m on pause – after learning and being informed by Dr. Fauci, additional science pundits and other singsonging Cassandras about the virus expected to sweep across the country in waves these coming weeks, if the scourges aren’t already sweeping as I write this blog.
But because of all the folks ignoring the holiday-traveling-caveats, according to new reports and studies, I don’t want to venture too far from my abode in Jersey City, until I get vaccinated. And already there are reports that vaccination might not be available to me until the late spring if not early summer because of poor distribution of the vaccines. Continuing with Mike Schlicht.
We are highly encouraging people who wish to have their voices heard in Albany come January and beyond to write a statement of their experience about workplace bullying and/or sending us a statement why you would like to see the NYS Healthy Workplace Bill passed in 2021.
We will get these statements to all 213 legislators in Albany during the course of lobby season. If in-person meetings will be possible, we may ask for a few people to accompany us to them and have you talk about your experience of being bullied in the workplace. Statements and interest at in-person meetings can be sent to: info@nyhwa.org

A lot of Us Ain’t Happy …
