Public journalism is challenging the more traditional notions of mainstream journalism. It represents an attempt to connect journalists with the communities within which they operate. It places citizen input at the center of journalistic concerns. In this essay, we examine the origin and development of public journalism. We note a few of the similarities in this movement to the early muckrakers operating at the turn of the century. We then consider the state of public political knowledge and how this affects public journalism efforts. Finally, we argue for educational reforms to aid public journalism in connecting to a more deliberative public.
A first lady k power and influence is conditioned by many complicated administrative and environmental variables. These variables can present problems for first ladies. However, two open cited problems, the nonconstitutional nature of the first lady k job and the first lady k management of the public-private divide are either nonexistent or receding in nature respectively. To firther mitigate these so-called problems, we argue that the president should be required to appoint the first lady as a presidential aide or advisor: As a result the first lady would be subject to the same laws and regulations which cover other presidential aides. We believe this will enhance democratic accountability
