Journal Prompt: April marks the onset of spring, a season of renewal and growth. Reflect on a decision you made recently that significantly influenced your path. Describe the circumstances surrounding this decision, the emotions you experienced, and how it has unfolded over the past year. Consider how this decision aligns with the themes of growth and transformation commonly associated with springtime. What lessons have you learned from this experience, and how do you envision it shaping your journey in the year ahead?    #GalleryLeather #Journaling #Journals #Journal #March #Cold #Winter #Showers #Snow 

To us at Whistleblower Summit & Film Festival, whistleblowers are the “Fifth Estate.” The Fifth Estate refers to the “socio-cultural reference to groupings of outlier viewpoints in contemporary society, and is most associated with bloggers, journalists publishing in non-mainstream media outlets, and the social media or "social license". In the context of whistleblowers, they are the Fifth Estate of democratic societies that protects freedom and liberty! Hence, the WSFF will always work to promote and even protect whistleblowers from forced obscurity. #FilmFestival #Whistleblowers #WhistleblowerSummitAndFilmFestival #FifthEstate #Journalism #FreeSpeech #HumanRights

Tinsel & Tine #MiniMovieReview #BSFF24 - IT WAS ALL A DREAM (documentary)- A visual memoir from director dream hampton’s personal archives about the dawn of the golden era of hip hop. Obviously you don’t need to be deep into hip hop to get a kick outta seeing these well-known legends in their early days. dream has easy and intimate access to her subjects, most often Biggie. The videos don’t seem to be for Source magazine or any other outlet of the time. There’s some talk of her shooting for a doc, but it doesn’t seem serious or thought through. A skilled cinematographer she was not. For the most part, it feels as if she was compelled to capture these moments simply because she was there and knew it to be a cool vantage point; but without really knowing how or when the footage may be used. I would imagine in present day when going through these archives, hampton realized in order to make this a doc, there needs to be an angle. And as there’s been enough done on gangsta rap and the violence it spurred and the whole East Coast vs West Coast rivalry; so instead she hones in on the misogyny. Examining how she could be in it and of it, yet still see and disapprove of the disrespect leveled at women, and to include interviews with early female rappers and their take on being called bitches and ho’s. Yet overall, the appeal of “It Was All A Dream” is of course the nostalgia. Younger generations will appreciate the history, but Gen-Xers are the target audience.

Ukraine is a country in Eastern Europe. It is the second-largest European country after Russia, which borders it to the east and northeast. On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine in an escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War that started in 2014. The invasion became the largest attack on a European country since World War II. It is estimated to have caused tens of thousands of Ukrainian civilian casualties and hundreds of thousands of military casualties. By June 2022, Russian troops occupied about 20% of Ukrainian territory. From a population of 41 million in January 2022, about 8 million Ukrainians had been internally displaced and more than 8.2 million had fled the country by April 2023, creating Europe's largest refugee crisis since World War II. Extensive environmental damage caused by the war, widely described as an ecocide, contributed to food crises worldwide.

Looking forward to our conversation with newsroom executives from around the country on “Media Bias Barrier: Covering Missing Persons Cases.” at the Radio Television Digital News Association summit, @rtdna.news. Our panel will explore the potential for bias in missing persons cases and discuss how journalists can avoid it as well as insight and strategies every newsroom should know. This could lead to more comprehensive and fair coverage of missing persons cases at a time when people of color represent more than 40% of all missing person cases. #RTDNA #BAMFI #MEDIA Derrica Wilson, Jonathan Franklin, Josh Mankiewicz, #RebkahHoward
