This article describes a discussion that the author had with John O\u27Leary, an Irish poet. It discusses the nature of what it means to be Irish and Irish-American and talks about how many modern people of Irish descent are focusing more on the ancient Irish traditions rather than the stereotypical Irish-American images of famine victims and green beer

Recent Journalism Awards Won by Old, New, and Hybrid Media

This compares the quality of the old media to that of the new media by determining how often each type of media source wins major journalism awards. It divides media sources into three categories: old, new and hybrid. New media is limited to publications that were started purely as online news publications. Old media is classified in the traditional sense to include such newspapers as the New York Times. Hybrid media combines elements of both new and old media. Our research compares the number of Pulitzer Prizes and other major journalism awards won by these three types of media sources since 2005 (or the dates these awards first opened to non-traditional types of media). The results demonstrate that traditional media still wins the vast majority of journalism awards (225 of 307 awards (73%), including 24 of 37 Pulitzer Prizes), while the new media won only 36 of 307 awards, and only 4 Pulitzer Prizes). The results are especially striking for awards for investigatory journalism (traditional media won 65 of 86 awards - 76%) and for local journalism (traditional media won 23 of 32 awards - 77%). This is evidence that the reporting by the traditional media is often of a significantly higher quality than that of the new or hybrid media. This quality difference has implications for Antitrust analysis and for many other policy issues. This document serves as the appendix to an article: Thomas J. Horton & Robert H.

Imagining Imagination: A Phenomenological Study of Children\u27s Drawings of Imagination

A phenomenological study of imagination employing archetypal hermeneutics. The theoretical background for the research comes from the disciplines of Archetypal Psychology and Ontological Design. The research focuses on 296 Kindergarten to fifth grade public school children\u27s drawings of imagination within an educational setting and aims at understanding imagination and its educational value. The research demonstrates that images of imagination are purposeful and intelligible when viewed with imagination, and it provides distinctions regarding imagination\u27s nature. Images seen imaginally were regarded as teachers which deepen learning, the artistic process, and living in the world. Conclusions challenge developmental theories of learning based on objectivist\u27s assumptions, and suggests ways of viewing education with more imagination for the sake of deepening its purpose and revisioning its goals. Imagination was seen as a reflective process of reversing a subject/object split through receptively receiving the other with an attitude of praise, and engaging with and appreciating its multiple poetic essence
