Thoughout California and across the US, hunger is rising at an unprecedented rate, even in affluent areas. Beginning March 19, a special multimedia series from the USC Annenberg School for Journalism & Communication and California Watch (a project of the Center for Investigative Reporting) will spotlight this often invisible problem.
“Hunger in the Golden State” will explore food waste, nutrition in schools, and ways to help Californians fighting to ward off hunger. The project reveals that nearly one in eight Californians has asked for food assistance in the last year.
The three-week series will run in CA newspapers, on radio stations, and in online news outlets.
...Coincidentally, last May a USC Annenberg student video series, “Staving Off Hunger,” focused on this same topic.

If you’re trying to wrap your head around the transformation of the media industry, a good place to start might be the idea of “perestroika”—the old Soviet term that described the dramatic restructuring of its most mature institutions. That, in fact, is the theme for an industry gathering in Philadelphia later this month that explores the transformation of computing, communications, business, and society in the Network Age, while asking the question: After everything is connected, “what’s next?”
The July 29-30 Supernova forum, co-hosted by the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, is produced by Kevin Werbach, a former FCC technology official and organizer of the PC Forum with Esther Dyson. Technologists, entrepreneurs, business executives, investors, and policymakers will come together to discuss three overarching themes.—evolving digital infrastructure and platforms, models for networked business innovation, and transforming or replacing established institutions.
Tech policy forum participants include White House official Beth Noveck, Comcast Executive Vice President David Cohen, Google’s Washington counsel Richard Whitt and BuzzMachine’s Jeff Jarvis. And other participants will also lead discussion at afternoon unconferences and “challenge sessions.”
Check out the agenda and register here.
If, on the other hand, you’re just trying to figure out the restructuring of your own newsroom, the gathering for you might be the International Newsroom Summit in London, Sept. 8-9.
Speakers and attendees include many European newspaper publishers, but Editor & Publisher reports The New York Time’s Arthur Sulzberger Jr., will be on the program, along with top Washington Post newsroom exec Raju Narisetti.
The key question: what does the new generation newsroom look like, and how does it operate? Discussions are around topics like newsroom synergies, smartphone publishing, innovative storytelling and paid content. Register here.
