news: Enhancing News Quality Through an Online Vetting Process

Newsvetter is the first Internet news vetting and news delivery service that establishes a "quality" standard for submitting story ideas to the news media. It also provides key tools for people with little or no experience in media relations to identify, build and submit quality news ideas to the media. The main benefits are: to make sure that news presenters (defined as anyone who wants to share a story idea with the media) have answered key questions about the substance of their news before they send it to the media for consideration; make sure news presenters have answered key questions about a media person's publication and news beat; and make sure news presenters are accountable for the quality of their work.

news: Alliance Forms to Address Challenges Facing Washington Park

Washington Park is a 460-acre campus, home to 5 non-profit cultural, educational & environmental institutions (Children’s Museum, Hoyt Arboretum, Japanese Garden, Oregon Zoo, World Forestry Center), plus Portland Parks’ internationally acclaimed Rose Gardens, numerous historical monuments, and 14 miles of trails. Yet surprisingly, there is no single government entity or non-profit in charge of Washington Park as a whole. Historically, each piece of Washington Park has been governed and managed separately, currently involving 5 non-profits, all 4 divisions within Portland Parks & Recreation, Metro, Tri-Met and the Water Bureau. As a result, the shared challenges of this 460-acre campus have never been fully addressed.
