BE BOLD

Article evaluation
The article on the AP Stylebook is brief but almost all of the material is relevant. The examples given for each section are italicized, which is somewhat distracting. There is also a section for Photo Captions, which is no longer in the Stylebook.

One of the links I clicked did not lead to anything related to the AP Stylebook; it sent me to the University of Carolina's School of Mass Communication and Journalism. Another of the references links to an article on the AP's website, which I thought was not allowed since the AP would not be considered a neutral source for its own Wikipedia page.

The Talk page is relatively inactive. Most of the posts are from 2006 and 2007. I saw one edit from 2017 and a couple from 2009.

The page is part of three projects on Wikipedia: a journalism project, a reference book project and a book project. It is rated as a Start-Class article.

Potential articles to edit
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journalism_Education_Association This article is rated as Start-class, Mid-importance on both Wikiproject Education and Wikiproject Journalism. The article has very little information about what the organization does/provides for journalism educators or the services it provides for students. That information is an important part of what JEA does, and it should be added to the page.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Op-ed This is another article that I feel is not representative of the topic's importance. It is Start-class but High-importance in the Journalism Wikiproject. There is little information, and it is flagged for possible bias because it does not represent a worldwide view.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AP_Stylebook As previously mentioned, this article needs some improvement. The talk page is not very active. There could be some amendments made for sections, for example, as the caption section is not in the 2017 Styleguide. It is rated Start-class and unspecified importance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_pyramid_(journalism)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBC_Radio The article on CBC Radio is very short. It does not include any information on CBC's podcasts, and CBC has two popular true crime podcasts, Someone Knows Something and Missing and Murdered.

Changes to make for JEA
I would like to add more information on what JEA does, such as sponsoring conventions and providing certification opportunities for educators. Information about the annual NSPA/JEA convention can be found here: http://studentpress.org/nspa/events/Superscript text

It is also important to note new developments, such as the creation of a full curriculum for journalism educators. Information about that is on the website: http://curriculum.jea.org/about-the-curriculum-initiative/

Additionally, the staff listed on the Wikipedia page is outdated. There is a new president and vice president.

CBC Radio Podcasts
CBC Radio has 14 original podcasts. Two of the podcasts, Someone Knows Something and Missing & Murdered, often rank among the top shows on the iTunes and Stitcher charts.

Someone Knows Something
"Someone Knows Something," hosted by filmmaker David Ridgen, first aired in 2016. The show, which investigates cold cases in Canada and the United States, finished its fourth season in March 2018. In season three of SKS, Ridgen worked with a Mississippi man, Thomas Moore, to solve the 1964 kidnapping and murder of Moore’s brother, Charles, and his friend, Henry Dee. As a result of information uncovered by the podcast, James Ford Seale, a former member of the KKK, was convicted of the killings in 2007 and received three life sentences for his crimes against Moore and Dee. Season four returned to Canada as Ridgen sought answers in the 1996 unsolved murder case of Wayne Greavette, an Ontario man killed by a bomb that was disguised as a Christmas gift and sent to his home. Season four ended in March 2018 and had the fewest number of episodes of the series.

Missing & Murdered
Investigative journalist Connie Walker hosts "Missing & Murdered," a podcast which looks into deaths and disappearances of indigenous women in Canada. The show’s first season, “MIssing & Murdered: Who Killed Alberta Williams,” covers the 1989 unsolved murder of Alberta Williams, a 24-year-old woman who went missing from Prince Rupert, British Columbia, after a night out with friends. Her body was discovered days later along Highway 16, which has since become known as “the Highway of Tears.” Following the show, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police announced the case was once again active. The second season, "MIssing & Murdered: Finding Cleo," released in March 2018, helped a family find out what happened to their teenage sister, Cleo Semaganis Nicotine, after she was sent to the United States from Saskatchewan during the “Sixties Scoop.” The stories featured on this podcast are part of a broader effort by Walker, who is Cree, and CBC News to raise awareness about the more than 250 unsolved disappearances and murders of indigenous women and girls across Canada. In 2017, the RCMP announced an initiative to stop violence against indigenous women and girls, citing studies done in 2014 that found they are among the most likely populations to be victims of violent crime.
