Topic: Embargo (journalism)

	Embargo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In international commerce and politics, an embargo is the prohibition of commerce and trade with a certain country.
		The embargo is usually used as a political punishment for some previous disagreed policies or acts, but its economical nature frequently leaves enough space for doubts about the real interests that the prohibition gives advantage to.
		Although the law of the United States does not prohibit participation in an embargo, it does prohibit participation in a secondary embargo.

	Journalism - Embargo - Hear The Issues - Political Articles and Commentary
		In journalism and public relations, an embargo (sometimes called a press embargo) is an agreement or request that a news organization refrain from reporting certain information until a specified date and/or time, in exchange for advance access to the information.
		Embargoes are typically used by government or corporate representatives working in publicity or public relations, and are often arranged in advance as part of a formal or informal agreement.
		Breaking an embargo is typically considered a serious breach of trust and can result in the source barring the offending news outlet from receiving advance information in the future.

	News release - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On the other hand, few dispute that news releases remain a valuable way for media to be made aware of new products, services, agencies and upcoming events of interest.
		Sometimes a news release is embargoed -- that is, news organizations are requested not to report the story until a specified time.
		A fllisted news organization will not receive any more embargoed releases, or possibly any releases at all.

	Pharyngula::More science journalism, good and bad
		A paper in a journal reporting a set of findings rarely represents a comprehensive view of the whole field of knowledge about a particular issue; rather it is a snapshot of one facet of our knowledge, incomplete and lacking context.
		Embargoing scientific findings that are in press enhances the status and confirms the supreme power of scientific journals—but it inhibits a full public understanding of what science does or does not know about many subjects of vital importance.
		Embargoing scientific findings that are in press simply delays slightly the ability of a journalist to write a comprehensive story.

	Sacking of Canadian Medical Association Journal's editors 'deeply troubling'
		Sources close to the journal believe the action was taken after a dispute over a news article on access to emergency contraceptive pills.
		The CMA requested that the article be withdrawn from the journal and redrafted as it constituted scientific research, rather than journalism, and the editorial team should therefore have sought ethical counsel and peer review of the article.
		To distinguish between a journal's responsibility to publish peer-reviewed research and investigative journalism is false.

	LA NUEVA CUBA
		But embargo advocates in the Bush administration and Congress maintain that while the U.S. has been mobilizing a global war on terrorism, Castro has been providing shelter and possibly aid to Basque separatists, Irish Republican Army members, leftist Colombian guerrillas and perhaps Iranian agents and others.
		Some embargo supporters in Congress claimed Cuba was a transit point for Iranian terrorists who are alleged to have bombed a Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1994, killing at least 85 people.
		And critics of the embargo contend that the administration's case against Cuba is weak and more vague than those against other governments accused of sponsoring terrorism.

	First Draft by Tim Porter: On the Defensive
		Journalism is a form of freedom speech; the press is a delivery vehicle for journalism.
		He practices journalism - and chooses to do so in way that is not only non-conventional but in fact subverts the some of the current conventions of traditional journalism, such as embargoes (which are created to serve the source and not the public).
		If mainstream reporters and editors want to defend something, it should be the core principles of journalism and not the form in which they are embraced.

	The Media Drop: Embargoes are embargoes, no matter what color your pages
		Penenberg clarified the reality behind embargoes today, stating that their use "levels the playing field, otherwise, the thinking goes, The Wall Street Journal or The New York Times would have every scoop handed to them." Which is more or less what happened here.
		Embargoed information really should only be released to journalists after an agreement between the journalist and the PR person has been reached, either because the PR person called the journalist or because the two of them have some sort of standing agreement.
		If it was a deliberate breaking of the embargo (as opposed to just an internal communications screw-up on the Times news desk), I don't think there are very many PR folks who would give up pitching the Times for the sake of punishing them.

	EMBARGO RULES - FEBRUARY 2001 \| Thunderbird Magazine
		In exchange for this privilege, the journalist agrees to abide by the journal’s embargo a publication or broadcast ban in effect until a date and time specified by the journal.
		This is reflected in the over-coverage of staged events, such as the publication of an article in a scientific journal, and by the uncritical tone of that coverage.
		Journals claim this is to ensure research is peer reviewed before it is made public.

	Vincent Kiernan / Embargoed Science
		The popular notion of a lone scientist privately toiling long hours in a laboratory, striking upon a great discovery, and announcing it to the world is a romanticized fiction.
		The journals distribute advance copies of their articles to hundreds and sometimes thousands of journalists around the world, on the condition that journalists agree not to report their stories until a common time, several days later.
		When the embargo lifts, airwaves and newspaper pages are flooded with stories based on the journal's latest issue.

	F**k you and your embargo
		Bush has made the embargo even more severe, partly due to the strength of ultraconservative lobby groups of exiled Cubans and the importance of their votes in Florida (governed by Jeb Bush).
		As a result, the embargo has now reached fever-pitch, with new measures meaning an American can be sentenced to ten years imprisonment if he buys a Cuban cigar, even if it is made in Brussels and smoked in Ouagadougou.
		It is also important that they demand legal recognition of opposition movements on the island and encourage the condemnation of the US embargo, a hindrance inherited perhaps from Thomas Jefferson, who claimed in 1807 that he had always “looked on Cuba as the most interesting addition that could have happened to our State”.

	Put the blame on Castro / Sebastian A. Arcos / Miami Herald - Cuba News / Noticias - CubaNet News
		Cuesta Morua claims not to speak for his dissident colleagues, yet he claims to ``reflect the views of most in calling for an end to the embargo.'' Given the totalitarian regime, there are no reliable means to gauge dissidents' opinions in Cuba.
		That is his regime's sine qua non; whether the embargo is lifted or not is irrelevant to him.Lifting the embargo would legitimize the model that Castro has imposed on Cubans.
		Lifting the embargo will not topple Castro, either; but it would constitute the final act to legitimize the corrupt, incompetent and cruel model that he has imposed on Cubans.

	U.S. 'commits child abuse' in Cuba / Miami Herald - Cuba News / Noticias - CubaNet News
		I have seen a child die of cancer because the embargo had blocked him from receiving a drug called pegaspargase, which is manufactured only in the United States.
		The U.S. government counters that the embargo should be maintained because of human-rights violations in Cuba.
		Logic tells us that the longer the United States maintains an embargo on the basic necessities of life, the more the world will rally to Castro's side, providing a crutch for any failures by his government.

		The worst, most tendentious journalism has sought to denigrate the scale of this crime, even calling the death of Iraqi infants a mere "statistical construct".
		Their last appearance in the press was in the Guardian last November, when they wrote: "The most recent report ofthe UN secretary general, in October 2001, says that the US and UK governments' blocking of $4bn of humanitarian supplies is by far the greatest constraint on the implementation of the oil-for-food programme.
		The second is an arms and military technology embargo applied throughout the Gulf and the Middle East; an embargo on both Iraq and Israel.

		Murtha was first inspired during the 1970s sitting in lines at the gas stations caused by the OPEC oil embargo, he said.
		However, Murtha, who was among the first to take advantage of the program, said he believes solar power won't catch on until another major crisis, like the OPEC oil embargo, afflicts the nation's power supply - a prospect that he and his wife Sharon almost embrace.
		"If we had an oil embargo, what do I care?" Murtha also smirks slightly at the knowledge that when there's a flout, his house is also the only one in the neighborhood with lights and, because his neighborhood has well water, the ability to flush the toilet.

		One of the “unthinkables” in journalism is to flout an embargo, but that was exactly what two Pakistani newspapers did when they ignored a White House embargo and went ahead with the publication on Thursday of an interview accorded to them by President George Bush on Wednesday afternoon.
		The jumping of an embargo is considered a serious breach of journalistic ethics and practice.

		For the time being, embargo supporters say they are satisfied with how the year unfolded.
		The regime appears to be gambling that Congress will not only weaken the economic embargo but permit broad U.S. travel to Cuba, which would give the island an infusion of tourist dollars.
		They say any weakening of the embargo may occur in incremental phases, given the deep divisions over the issue and the importance of the matter to many voters in Florida, a key battleground in presidential elections.

		Deutsch and Menendez said there was ample proof that the Cuban government was making some of those companies, if not all, sign agreements to lobby against the trade sanctions.
		The legislators acknowledged, however, that nothing could stop companies from lobbying independently against the embargo, as opposed to being contractually obliged to do so.
		The state determined the outcome of the 2000 presidential election and will be a key battleground again when President Bush seeks re-election next year.

		The depth-reporting class has been a strong feature of the journalism program for many years, with recent projects ranging from a study of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, to the resurgence of the American bison, to the U.S. epidemic of obesity.

		A medieval embargo was imposed on Vietnam and Cambodia; the Thatcher government cut off supplies of milk to the children of Vietnam.
		This assault on the very fabric of life in two of the world's most stricken societies was rarely reported; the consequence was mass suffering.
		Indeed, almost everything in this travesty of journalism was viewed from Washington, and only fragments of it from the barrios of Venezuela, where Chávez enjoys 80 percent popularity.

		It is the system that underwrote the illegal and unprovoked attack on a stricken and mostly defenceless country whose population is 42 per cent children, like the boy who was killed by a soldier who, says the Reuters story, "now seems more mature".
		The corruption of journalism is most vivid back in the commentary booth, far from the dust and death.
		There is, for example, not a single mention by Rawnsley of the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who died as a direct result of the 12-year, medieval siege of Iraq conducted by America and backed by Britain - and enthusiastically by Blair.

		Lifting an EU arms embargo against China, planned for June 30, has been called into serious question since China indicated last week it is quite enamored with the idea of annexing Taiwan.
		This embargo's vague wording has been referred to by US officials as a big worry, yet reports are circulating that even the US itself has sold arms to China in recent years.
		Even though embargos often are frail, there is so much of a notion still that an embargo ought to only be lifted only after the issue that caused it has been satisfactorily been addressed in a host country.

	American Journalism Review
		A lot of science and medical journalists--working in a field in which embargoes are common--appreciate having official release dates for news, for the same reasons that officials use them: They level the playing field between news organizations of varying sizes and improve stories because reporters have more time to digest and flesh out complex topics.
		The Journal of the American Medical Association, which was publishing the study and agreed to the embargo time at the request of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, responded by cutting off relations with the paper and the reporter who wrote the story until she apologizes.
		Under ASCO's embargo rule, journalists can't report on the abstracts even if they get the information from a third party, so the public is left out.

		It is fairly common to get information on a big announcement with an embargo attached--the stipulation that the news not run until a certain time.
		(The embargo also forbade the three papers from running anything on their sites until after midnight.) This scoop green-lighted the three papers to forget the embargo and gave them and others the chance to run the news, with outside comment.
		He says the airlines knew the embargo was moot as soon as FT.com broke the story.
