An expert on local journalism says the laissez faire attitude of regulators means it鈥檚 up to viewers to make their voices heard on station content.</p> </span> </div> <p>Last year, Denver鈥檚 broadcast news market was shaken as Nexstar and Sinclair鈥攖he two largest owners of television stations in the country鈥攎ade moves to enter Colorado by acquiring the parent companies of 9News and Denver7.</p><p>Neither is yet a done deal. The Federal Communications Commission would have to approve the sale of Tegna, which owns 9News, to Nexstar; meanwhile, Denver7 owner Scripps rejected Sinclair鈥檚 takeover bid late last month. But relying on regulators or corporations to protect Colorado journalism is a poor strategy, said an expert on local news.</p><p>鈥淭he community needs to step in鈥攖hat鈥檚 the only thing that can prevent these economic and social missteps,鈥 said <a href="/cmdi/people/journalism/angelica-kalika" rel="nofollow">Angelica Kalika</a> (PhDMediaSt鈥19), an assistant teaching professor of <a href="/cmdi/academics/journalism" rel="nofollow">journalism</a> at the College of Communication, Media, Design and Information. 鈥淲hen the community says, 鈥榳e鈥檙e not going to watch this kind of content, this isn鈥檛 what we want鈥欌攊f you are profit driven, you should listen to your audience, right?鈥</p><p>For that audience, Kalika said, takeovers represent a case of less choice means less voice. Consolidations typically mean fewer reporters to provide local coverage, encouraging stations to carry more national content. And the conservatism championed by both Nexstar and Sinclair would not reflect the progressive attitudes of viewers in the Denver metro market, while also encouraging the formation of a news desert. Kalika, who studies hyper-local news, said when the same people and companies own all the outlets, it means fewer editorial voices to watch town halls, board meetings and other news that鈥檚 ignored by larger, national players.</p><p>鈥淟ook at 9News鈥攊t鈥檚 iconic, it has a very clear brand,鈥 Kalika said. 鈥淚s the community going to stand up to the corporations and make their voice heard?鈥</p><p>It鈥檚 something that worked, she said, when the Walt Disney Co. pulled Jimmy Kimmel off the air 鈥渁nd people screamed.鈥 Search traffic on how to cancel Disney+ spiked as influential voices condemned the decision to suspend Kimmel.</p><p>鈥淎nd Disney responded right away, because at the end of the day, it鈥檚 about the money.

Last month, an $83 billion bid by Netflix to acquire WB stunned a legacy media industry already reeling from the tech industry鈥檚 continued incursions into their business鈥攆irst by converting cable customers into streaming subscribers, and more recently by acquiring reliable revenue-generating intellectual property; the James Bond franchise, for instance, was sold to Amazon for $20 million last winter. The WB deal, which features a hostile takeover bid from Paramount Skydance, is the latest in the trend toward consolidation, which has seen takeovers by Xfinity, Disney, Amazon and others.</p><p>鈥淭he big tech companies have their eyes on local media and entertainment, because ultimately their goal is control of information and access to information,鈥 Kalika said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 worth analyzing the minutia of these deals and the climate at the FCC because the more omnipresent tech becomes here, the more we end up in bubbles of information鈥攚here we don鈥檛 know what鈥檚 real.鈥</p><p>Kalika knows what she鈥檚 talking about. She teaches a popular CMDI course on media and technology and has published several papers on the fall of legacy media gatekeepers鈥攅specially through the lens of TMZ, which in its pursuit of scoops has sometimes crossed lines that journalists will not.

Rosner</p> </span> </div> <p>That curiosity has culminated in a new book, <a href="https://www.patagonia.com/product/roam-wild-animals-and-the-race-to-repair-their-fractured-world-hardcover-book/BK865.html?dwvar_BK865_color=000" data-entity-type="external" rel="nofollow"><em>Roam: Wild Animals and the Race to Repair Our Fractured World</em></a>, out this month from Patagonia. In it, she draws upon a career of environmental journalism to share stories of the struggles animals face in overcoming human-made boundaries.</p><h3>Restoring empathy</h3><p>Her goal is to encourage readers to abandon a human-centered view of the world in favor of one that demonstrates our interconnectedness with the planet, while learning to view other species with empathy and compassion.</p><p>The connections she explores in the book are both literal鈥攆or example, creatures needing to get from one point to another鈥攁nd more abstract, such as how animals connect to an ecosystem to affect its resilience and adaptability. 鈥淎nd it鈥檚 about showing how human infrastructure presents a barrier to this idea of connectivity for all these other species,鈥 she said. The book further spells out the ecological consequences of a world where wild animals cannot roam鈥攁n inability to spread plant life, less genetic diversity鈥攖hreatening species鈥 adaptability and survival鈥攁nd the extinction of charismatic species.</p><p>If that sounds dire, Rosner will be the first to tell you there鈥檚 real urgency behind the topic. Her work took her around the world to see the obstacles humans have created for wildlife. In Kenya, as more land becomes privately owned, more fences are going up, blocking long-held migration routes. Closer to home, Donald Trump鈥檚 funding freeze has canceled wildlife crossings along U.S. highways.</p><div class="ucb-box ucb-box-title-hidden ucb-box-alignment-right ucb-box-style-fill ucb-box-theme-white"><div class="ucb-box-inner"><div class="ucb-box-title">&nbsp;</div><div class="ucb-box-content"><p class="lead small-text"><i class="fa-solid fa-quote-right fa-3x fa-pull-right ucb-icon-color-gold">&nbsp;</i>鈥淚f we continue to act as though we are the only species on the planet, it鈥檚 going to become self-fulfilling.鈥<br><br>Hillary M. Rosner (MEnvSt鈥06)</p></div></div></div><p>鈥淚 talk about a lot of bad things that are going on, but the book is about solutions鈥攖he race to repair our fractured world,鈥 Rosner said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 about people all across the world doing incredible work and devoting their lives to reconnecting the planet for other species. And I think that is hopeful.鈥</p><p>Rosner鈥檚 work has appeared in some of the most influential news outlets in the country鈥<em>The New York Times</em>, <em>National Geographic</em>, <em>Scientific American</em>, <em>The Atlantic</em>鈥攆ollowing her pivot to environmental reporting, which owes quite a bit to her graduate work in environmental studies at 麻豆免费版下载Boulder, as well as a <a href="/cej/scripps-fellowships/core-program" data-entity-type="external" rel="nofollow">Ted Scripps environmental journalism fellowship</a>.</p><p>鈥淚 took an amazing biogeography course during my Scripps fellowship, which really helped shape my thinking around this project, in terms of species movement and the role humans have in shaping that,鈥 said Rosner, who today oversees the Scripps program as part of her work with CEJ. Her work also was influenced by fellowships from Knight Science Journalism at MIT and the National Science Foundation.</p><h3>Barriers beyond borders, highways</h3><p>As you might expect from someone with such curiosity for the natural world, Rosner took the most enjoyment from how much she learned about the world through her reporting. A concept she particularly enjoyed exploring was anthropogenic resistance鈥攖he invisible ways humans impede animal movement.</p><p>鈥淔or instance, you may have a physically passable route for a bear, but you have a lot of hikers who recreate in that area, so it won鈥檛 go there,鈥 she said. 鈥淲e more readily think of border walls or highways, but humans have created all sorts of hidden barriers to animal movement that we don鈥檛 often think about.鈥</p><p>Her book is a call to action that we need to start thinking otherwise鈥攁nd quickly. A key theme in <em>Roam</em> is one of empathy, as she invites readers to bring a different perspective to how they, too, move through the world.</p><p>鈥淭he idea of empathy was not an idea I was thinking about when I started this project,鈥 Rosner said. 鈥淲hen I look around, it鈥檚 clear to me that empathy is lacking across the board right now鈥攂ut perhaps if we can learn to see other species with empathy, it will help us see one another with empathy, also.鈥</p><p>There鈥檚 also a more pragmatic reason to take Rosner鈥檚 work seriously.
