JEFFERSON CITY -- Maj. Gen. John Fremont ordered his staff to prepare to move west as the large federal army gathered here began to break camp, the St. Louis Daily Missouri Republican reported. The city was quiet, except for the troop movements. "General Fremont and staff, with the army of correspondents, your own included, will, it is understood, go forward tomorrow," the newspaper reported.
Editor's note: Our readers are rarely told outright of our neighborhood correspondents' own involvement in their communities. But the story often can be pieced together when you see their faces in Gazette Cameras or their children's names in the honor rolls or Campus News features. Kathleen Shatt's twin sons, Brian and Jimmy, grew up before the readers who have read her column for nearly two decades. We thought it fitting to let Kathy share a pinnacle moment in her family's life personally with the community, as she has done for so many other families in the Ferndale and Glen Burnie communities. It seems as if the long road to Eagle rank was over in flash. I look back and it seems like yesterday when I hugged my twins and waved goodbye as they went off to their first Boy Scout summer camp.
Freedom to preach in speech THE WRITERS calling for dropping Cal Thomas (letters, Jan. 13) missed the point of "Hume's message shouldn't be ridiculed," (op- ed, Jan. 8). Thomas defends Brit Hume's right to voice his beliefs in public, a right we all share and of which your correspondents readily make use. Hume's recommendation that Tiger Woods explore Christianity is his own opinion, one he is still free to share.

If that tack sounds, well, political, the nlmrnakers- Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington, veteran war correspondents who repeatedly risked their own lives for the movie- would much prefer to call it something else "Left-wing people- and I include myself among those people- tend to have this idea that war is the expression of some kind of modern UL of civilization gone wrong," says Junger by phone from Houston, where he's promoting his book WAR, the film's companion piece. Junger, whose dozen years of death-defying journalism in Afghanistan have made him no stranger to adrenaline says that an even stronger narcotic for Steiner and his platoon buddies is the buzz of social inclusion For a 19-year-old to feel necessary as part of a small group of men, to have a completely clear identit...
Relying on methods he has used in the previous books in this series, the longtime fellow at Brookings categorizes, measures, and analyzes newsgathering in the United States by foreign journalists. Also to his own credit, Hess is able to piece together an intelligent picture of the growing complexity of foreign newsgathering: the rise of parachute journalism; the "unprecedented number of Americans ... working as foreign correspondents in their own country"; the employment of a large number of what Hess calls "irregulars," correspondents who are part-time journalists while doing something else (for instance, "an astrologist, a waitress, a Japanese trader in seafood"); and the difficulties of making a career as a foreign correspondent when your spouse has a career, as is more common these...
For all the hype about social networking Web sites, the most popular and successful way to network over the Internet is still the oldest: e-mail. If it's organized properly, boring old e-mail can reveal as much or more information about the people you know and their relationships with you as hipper services such as MySpace or Facebook. This is especially true if you are the kind of person who saves most of his or her e-mail. That mound of messages can be a treasure- trove of contact information and a history of your interactions with hundreds, or thousands, of personal and business acquaintances. It can tell you the phone numbers and job titles of people, and even whom you and your correspondents most often copy on e-mail. It's a sort of social network all its own.
[...] corruption was considerably more widespread in North Vietnam than in the South, giving lie to a common assumption that there was something morally pristine about the highly disciplined North. [...] the problem of corruption had become so acute in the North that, in 1967, Ho Chi Minh himself felt compelled to go on the radio and inveigh against this troublesome plague.

Erikson and Hamilton investigate the extent to which newspapers are engaging in parachute journalism today, describe its current practice, and propose typologies that capture the complexity of the phenomenon. They find that parachute journalism, which is most often depicted as bad journalism, is an over-simplification, and that while they confirm the negatives, they also point to the positive aspects of newspapers attempting to draw their readers into international affairs by having a presence in a foreign land.
...."4 Poorly prepared parachute correspondents, adds American Studies Professor Nicolaus Mills, t...
