Dear Colleagues:<\/p>\n

Once upon a time \u2013 way back in 2013 – the\u00a0Cleveland Plain Dealer<\/em>\u00a0was delivered to subscribers’ homes seven days a week. At the same time that delivery was cut back, nearly a third of the newsroom staff was eliminated.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That was one painful stage in a long transformation of the supply of information about local communities \u2013 in Cleveland and everywhere else. The Cleveland News closed in 1960; the Press in 1982. Television coverage in part supplanted newspapers and, according to the Knight Foundation, “the average local TV station now has more news employees than the average American newspaper,” but that may say more about newspapers than the quality of local television news, which has long been accused of sensationalism: “if it bleeds, it leads.”<\/p>\n

News sources depend on audiences, paying customers, and advertising revenue. Each is being diverted, especially to internet sources and social media. Yet, meantime, the world goes on and institutions have stories to tell.\u00a0Joe Frolik in his own career has been part of the transformations:<\/strong>\u00a0from prize-winning reporter, columnist and editorial writer at the Plain Dealer, to leading communications for the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office, to executive editor of the Ideastream (radio and tv) newsroom and now to MetroHealth.\u00a0We are very pleased to welcome him and discuss his views of what has happened and may come next.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

All best regards,
\nJoe White
\nLuxenberg Family Professor of Public Policy and Director, Center for Policy Studies<\/span><\/p>\n

About Our Guest<\/span><\/h3>\n

Joseph Frolik<\/strong>\u00a0spent more than three decades at The Plain Dealer as a reporter, columnist, national correspondent and chief editorial writer. He received numerous honors, including two National Headliner Awards. He was named Best Editorial Writer in Ohio in 2012 for his editorials about the county\u2019s corruption crisis, its efforts at reform and the launch of a new county government.<\/p>\n

Frolik left The Plain Dealer in 2013 to lead communications and public policy at the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor\u2019s Office. There, he helped lead efforts to increase juvenile diversion programs, fight the opioid epidemic and decrease the number of dangerous, dilapidated properties in the county. For the last three years Joseph Frolick worked at Ideastream, leading the public media organization\u2019s news and public affairs efforts as its executive editor before joining the MetroHealth system.<\/p>\n

In 2017, Frolik was enshrined into the Cleveland Press Club\u2019s Journalism Hall of Fame.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where We Meet<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Friday Public Affairs Lunch convenes each Friday when classes are in session, from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. Our programs are open to all and no registration is required. We usually meet in the Dampeer Room of Kelvin Smith Library.<\/span><\/p>\n

* Kelvin Smith Library requires all entrants to show identification when entering the building, unless they have a university i.d. that they can magnetically scan. We are sorry if that seems like a hassle, but it has been Library policy for a while in response to security concerns. Please do not complain to the library staff at the entrance, who are just doing their jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Parking Possibilities<\/span><\/h3>\n

The most convenient parking is the lot underneath Severance Hall. We regret that it is not free. From that lot there is an elevator up to street level (labeled as for the Thwing Center); it is less than 50 yards from that exit to the library entrance. You can get from the Severance garage to the library without going outside. Near the entry gates – just to the right if you were driving out – there is a door into a corridor. Walk down the corridor and there will be another door. Beyond that door you’ll find the entrance to an elevator which goes up to an entrance right inside the doors to Kelvin Smith Library.<\/span><\/p>\n

Upcoming Events<\/span><\/h2>\n

Assigning Protection: Can Refugee Rights and State Preferences be Reconciled?<\/span><\/p>\n

A discussion with James C. Hathaway, Law Professorand Director of the Program in Refugee and Asylum Law, University of Michigan School of Law, Monday November 11, 12:00-1:00 p.m., Moot Courtroom (A59), 11075 East Blvd., Cleveland, Ohio 44106.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The theoretically global responsibility to protect refugees is today heavily skewed, with just ten countries \u2013 predominantly very poor \u2013 hosting more than half of the world\u2019s refugee population. Refugee protection has moreover become tantamount to warehousing for most refugees, with roughly half of the world\u2019s refugees stuck in \u201cprotracted refugee situations\u201d for decades with their lives on hold.<\/p>\n

Professor Hathaway\u2019s lecture argues that both concerns \u2013 the unprincipled allocation of responsibility based on accidents of geography and the desperate need for greater attention to resettlement as a core protection response \u2013 cry out for a global, managed system to protect refugees.<\/p>\n

James C. Hathaway, the James E. and Sarah A. Degan Professor of Law, is a leading authority on international refugee law whose work is regularly cited by the most senior courts of the common law world. He is the founding director of Michigan Law’s Program in Refugee and Asylum Law and the Distinguished Visiting Professor of International Refugee Law at the University of Amsterdam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
