Come on guys – there are so many problems with the results of 2010 that you don’t want to enter. First of all Anne Hillman is really Hillerman – you should know the correct way to list it. Tradicion Revista is Tradition – not correct. Lois Manno is LPD Press. And I guess you don’t believe in punctuation. What is it you do for a living?
What is the problem?

Comment on NMPW’s Name: To Change, Or Not To Change? by Susan Walton

Susan Walton — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 23:05:07 +0000

Maybe I was the Poster-Woman for the “vote NO” on NMPW/NFPW name changes in the 1990s. I have changed my stance. Back then, I was evaluating where I was putting my energy and what my core interested were. Maybe I am doing the same now, but with an opposite result.
The integrity of journalism and communications, in their many, many manners of expression (print/electronic, written/spoken, press/media, reporters/pr, words/photos, print/broadcast, marketing, teaching, etc, etc.) seem even more threatened than the “equality for women” thing seemed in my concerns 18 (15?) years ago. I have enjoyed working with the men who have joined our group. We *all* lose big-time, if our name prevents other serious, journalism-credible people from joining because they are cutting-edge Tweeters (or some other modern form of Journalism), schooled in journalistic principles, *or* because they are men, not seeing a “Welcome” sign in our name.
So, I am happy to change the name, if it means we can continue to focus on our roots and we can continue to recruit and enlist new members into the group that mentors or nurtures growth in our field and maintains its dedication to integrity and principles of good practice and ethics.
(I find I am remembering my teen years when I became one of the first girls to serve at the church’s altar -an Episcopalian Acolyte- and how shocking it was to some older members. Within 20 years, the girls became the dominate members of the acolyte group and few boys made the time for it. No gender was affixed to the title; it was just that more girls were more interested in joining than boys.)
I no longer care what we call ourselves. I care that the mission of our group remain and reach out to the future.
