Editor’s note: Joe Swickard wrote the story and Eric Seals created the stunning video for this Detroit Free Press package on the first African-American Marines. It’s a great example of how video enhances a news story. It also demonstrates the reason we as displaced journalists need to develop digital media skills. On Oct. 25 the U.S. House of Representatives voted unanimously to grant the Montford Point Marines our nation’s highest civilian honor, the congressional gold medal; the Senate takes up the measure Thursday of this week. — Susan Older

Now in their late 80s the 1st Black Marines known as Montford Marines talk about their experiences fighting in WWII while still being discriminated against. They are on the verge of getting Congressional Gold Medals. Eric Seals/Detroit Free Press

By Joe Swickard
Detroit Free Press Staff Writer

More than 16 million Americans answered the call to arms in World War II. Of those, 600,000 were the few, the proud, the Marines.

Then there were the Chosen Few, men such as metro Detroiters Calvin Moore, Robert Hassler, Earl Hood, William Cook, Edsel Stallings, Norfflette Mersier and about 20,000 other Montford Point Marines.

After years of discrimination, mistreatment and near invisibility postwar, these African-American Marines of World War II are on the verge of getting the Congressional Gold Medal, America’s highest civilian honor.

It’s about time, too, said Hassler, 86, who lied about his age to enlist 70 years ago. “It’s always bothered me — every year for Black History Month, they talk about the Tuskegee Airmen,” Hassler said. “Nobody knows about the Montford Point Marines.”

A Congressional Gold Medal could change that.

Pride still runs deep for Montford Point Marines.

In 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered the armed forces to accept African Americans into their ranks, and the Marine Corps was the last to fall in line. Even then, segregation remained as the black recruits and draftees were trained in their own facility — a patch of land adjacent to Camp Lejeune, N.C., called Montford Point. They were forbidden from entering Camp Lejeune without special authorization.

These men endured top brass hostility, segregated training, scornful treatment and the demeaning belief that they didn’t have the guts, character and discipline to defend their country in combat.

Yet the Montford Point Marines, mainly relegated to service battalions, put their lives on the line: humping ammo and supplies under fire and bringing the wounded to safety while being strafed, sniped, bombed and blasted as the Marines island-hopped through the Pacific toward Japan.

And their pride endures today.

With probably fewer than 300 of them still alive…. Read the rest of the story at The Detroit Free Press.

By Susan Older, Founder, Displaced Journalists

When journalists do their jobs – reporting, writing, editing, and shooting still or video images – they tend to turn to trustworthy sources among their own contacts or other well-known sources trusted by their colleagues.

That habit saves time, but it skews our coverage toward established viewpoints, when we all know that, in most cases, fresh perspectives would make for more balanced, interesting stories.

News Certified Exchange (NCE), an initiative launched in 2009 by veteran journalists, is offering an alternative – an online service free to independent or newsroom-based journalists, featuring an array of

Kathryn McManus

certified interview-ready sources in more than 1,000 specialty areas. Journalists pay nothing to use the service, which provides a page for each expert source profiling them in video, describing their background and listing their credentials and contact information.  Experts update their keyword tags and story pitches to maintain ongoing relevance to the news cycle.

The idea sparked in 2008 when NCE CEO Kathryn McManus was the head of CNN Japan.  “As a journalist, I would receive hundreds of solicitations a day from organizations highlighting story ideas and experts that I would promptly delete,” says McManus. “Then when I needed someone, I would scramble, trying to find ‘interview-ready’ experts (not generalists) who could comment.  The solution seemed so easy: a database of certified ‘interview-ready’ experts that the media can draw from when the need arises.”

McManus brought in another seasoned journalist as co-founder: Jerry Krieg, who had been CNN’s Senior Executive Producer. Together they reached out to journalists globally.  The response was overwhelming.  Krieg says journalist after journalist told him, “I wish this had been built yesterday. It would have made my life much easier.”  Then NCE asked the opinions of a wide variety of communications directors and business leaders to get their response. They were overwhelmingly in favor of the idea.

Based on the feedback they received from journalist colleagues, NCE created 23 “interview-ready” standards of certification.

What sets NCE apart from other source databases is the fact that veteran journalists screen potential sources for genuine professional expertise and media readiness.  NCE turns away non-experts and experts who are not “interview-ready.” Certification falls into three categories: print, TV and radio. All three categories play into the Web, so it doesn’t have its own category. There are icons on each profile indicating a particular source’s certification status.

NCE also has an editorial board made up of heavy hitting journalists to make sure that its journalistic standards are maintained.

NCE has gained the trust of journalists, communications experts and industry leaders. NCE has hundreds upon hundreds of experts, and NCE experts are quoted daily in the news.  Journalists from more than 250 news organizations tap into NCE’s database.  These include Bloomberg, The New York Times, NBC, CBS, PBS, MSNBC, USA Today, Reuters, Fortune, Vanity Fair, AP and The Wall Street Journal.

Experts can attend one of NCE’s “Influencing the Headlines” (ITH) seminar events for  $500. Attendance includes an executive media skills workshop (taught by broadcast journalists), lunch and a panel discussion with leaders of industry and media. There is an additional fee of $2,000 for ITH participants who wish to become certified and join the NCE database. The next event will be in Chicago April 8 at Medill, Northwestern University’s School of Journalism.

For non-ITH participants, the cost is $4,000.00 and includes a customized media skills session with a veteran journalist, an HD web cam for remote broadcast and positioning on NewsCertified Exchange for three years.

What’s in it for the experts? Exposure. Being on NCE furthers their career goals and shines a spotlight on them as individuals, but also on their companies, agencies or organizations. Experts, thus far, include authors, former statesmen, top medical and legal specialists and other thought leaders from around the world.

On the Exchange, journalists can decide for themselves whether someone is a good interview candidate. Experts’ online profiles feature video clips, professional experience and background information, social media links, and contact information. This is an enormous time-saver for busy journalists looking for fresh viewpoints. If an expert is used, NCE does not receive any kickback.

Journalists who register can log onto the site see a scroll bar of top stories. There is a featured “story pitch” – intended to be something that would be of interest to many reporters and editors. There is a search field for finding experts. For example, if you type in “nuclear” you will get at least three pages of experts you might not have known about otherwise. Journalists can also use the drop-down menu of areas of expertise for fast and easy identification of sources.  Additionally journalists and other visitors to the NCE site can search a database of expert-generated story ideas that offer unique perspectives and fit into the news cycle.

Website analytics document that journalists in 54 countries have searched the NCE database.  They are experiencing explosive growth with global intake daily.

Editor’s note: I attended NCE’s “In the Headlines” event in New York last month to get an idea of whether it would help people in the Displaced Journalists community. I was impressed. It’s a fantastic resource. Go to the site and register (no fee). You’ll see what I mean. In the interest of full disclosure: After NCE CEO Kathryn McManus and I met, she asked if I would be interested in serving as an expert in the journalism arena. One thing I have going for me: I am passionate about preserving and reinventing our profession. I’m going to try it, but I’ve never been a broadcast journalist, so I’m really counting on their coaching to make me “interview-ready.” Wish me luck! — Susan Older

When you’re out of work, or, put more genteelly, underemployed, what do you do with your newfound leisure time?

Jules Older

By ‘leisure time,’ I mean time nobody’s paying you to use.

Everybody’s different in needs, time, mortgages and inclination, but I know what’s working for me. In hopes that some of it will work for you, here goes:

Learn new stuff. The new stuff I’m learning is videography. As the world grows more visual and more digital, it will be increasingly usefulblahblahblah.

That’s likely true, but the real reason I’m learning it is that I want to. I love it. I love watching my skills grow from naught to naught half bad. You can judge for yourself at http://www.YouTube.com/julesolder.

I’ve had three great aids in learning to shoot and edit.

One is a tiny, cheap, incredibly versatile Canon camera. I’ve used the pocket-sized Canon SD940 IS to shoot about 30 videos. I still can’t believe how good it is, most especially in low light.

The second is Apple’s iMovie, a tool that comes at no extra charge with every Mac. It’s made for enthusiasts, not professionals, but it’s met or exceeded my needs and desires nearly every time.

Third — maybe first — is the best bargain I’ve found, ever. It’s Apple’s One to One program. When you buy a new Apple computer, you’re given the opportunity to sign up for One to One. Take it.

Costs a hundred bucks for a year. For that hundred, you get to meet with an expert once every week or two to work on any aspect of Macology you like. Just about everything I know about videography, I’ve learned at the Chestnut Street Apple Store. Costs me, oh, $1.50 an hour.

Do good things. Last time I was in New Zealand, the earth moved. It moved in Christchurch, which experienced its first quake ever. This time, a few short days after I got off the plane, Christchurch had its second. And this was the big one.

On the theory that it might be me, I did what I could to ameliorate the horror. Through my Jokers list, I kept friends and relatives up to date on our safety, our friends, and what was happening in Christchurch. Because I’m a member of Ski Club of International Journalists, I did the same with the 200 or so media mavens I’d met only the week before. I used both lists to raise funds for the victims.

And I volunteered to go to Christchurch. I volunteered three times to three organizations. And while none took me up on it, I couldn’t have even made the offer if I’d been gainfully employed.

Stay in touch. The Christchurch quake was only one way of many I’ve been in closer touch with friends and colleagues since those monthly checks stopped rolling in. I’ve used the down time to pick up lapsed relationships and to start new ones. That’s been nice.

Hasn’t always worked out the way I planned, though. When I left a message for an old friend who’d moved to L.A. asking if he was ok, he admitted “My first thought was — what’s he want?”

I suggested he’d been in Los Angeles too long.

Hard times roll. Renewing my freelance ‘career’ has reminded me how bloody hard freelancing really is. For instance, from New Zealand I wrote what I think was a pretty fine op-ed piece about the quake, Why it’s good it happened here. Sent it to, oh, seven or eight papers and three magazines in five countries. My hometown paper didn’t bother replying — thanks a lot, San Francisco Chronicle. Others said no, not for us. In the end, one paper and one magazine took variations on it, but it was hard yakka getting the thing sold.

That’s all, folks… except for one thing. Remember: Life is what’s left when you’re out of work. Better learn — or re-learn — to enjoy it.
