The DVD will include the seven television stories, as well as 14 interviews with both the print and television journalists whose work is included in the project. Leading journalists such as Ted Koppel, former anchor of Nightline, Bob Simon of 60 Minutes and Anne Hull, national writer for The Washington Post sat down for interviews. They discuss the evolution of their stories, the challenges, their mistakes, ethical issues and all of the work that goes into quality reporting of any kind, with particular focus on the issues that can arise when a story involves race and/or ethnicity.
Arlene Notoro Morgan, associate dean for prizes and programs at Columbia’s Journalism School, has teamed up with co-editors Alice Irene Pifer and Keith Woods to produce The Authentic Voice. Morgan has found that, “From our own contact with journalism educators and editors, we know there is a void when it comes to teaching materials regarding journalism, race and ethnicity. Our mission is to fill that void in the classroom and in the newsroom.”
