FeedMeet Josh Wolf…
Although I was born in the bay area, I grew up in Wrightwood, a small town in Southern California; I escaped to San Francisco as soon as opportunity afforded itself and recently graduated from San Francisco State University with a degree in Psychology. I consider myself to be an independent journalist and a filmmaker.
My first experience in the field of journalism came in my senior year of high school working on the school newspaper. After graduating high school, I briefly wrote for UC Santa Barbara’s Daily Nexus before taking an Internship at the Santa Barbara Independent where I worked for about six months writing blurbs for the news department.
After moving to San Francisco, I’ve been actively contributing articles and video reports for my blog as well as Indymedia. I have also written for the Haight Ashbury Beat.
I’m currently employed as the Outreach Director for peralta.TV, a department of the Peralta Community College District, and I am also an SAT teacher for the Kaplan Test preparation company.
[...] In case you haven’t heard about it yet, Josh Wolf, a blogger who covered the recent G8 Summit in Scotland where some violence erupted has been jailed for not turning over to the authorities the video he shot of the event. He’s also raising a defense fund to cover his legal costs as he tries to use the shield law in protection of his right not to be compelled to turn over that video. Here’s a link to Josh’s blog where you can read more about his situation. [...]
[...] Le journaliste indépendant et « vidéoblogueur » californien Josh Wolf, qui a filmé une manifestation ayant mal tourné, a passé un mois en prison car il refusait de céder ses bandes à la police. Celle-ci souhaiterait les utiliser comme preuve contre les casseurs. Heureusement pour lui, un juge vient de le remettre en liberté jusqu’à ce qu’un autre jury statue sur sa demande d’appel, selon ce billet de boingboing. La Society of Professional Journalists a contribué à hauteur de 30 000 US$ à ses frais d’avocats dont ette a négocié le plafonnement au double de cette somme, selon ce communiqué. Le 2 août dernier, la National Lawyers Guild prenait fait et cause pour lui et la résistance médiatique s’organisait sur Internet, à grand renfort de blogues et de wikis. [...]
[...] Aujourd’hui, n’importe qui peut s’acheter une caméra, se mettre à filmer et diffuser ce dont son objectif est témoin sur Internet. Un peu journaliste, beaucoup blogueur et notoirement engagé, c’est ce qu’a fait Josh Wolf (voir mon billet précédent), en juillet 2005, diffusant cette vidéo d’une manifestation violente sur son blogue intitulé La révolution sera télévisée. Outre le fait qu’il travaille pour une petite télévision communautaire sans grand pouvoir, le jeune journaliste-blogueur californien ne cache nullement ses opinions anarchistes. La justice, à qui il a refusé de donner son reportage intégral, l’a renvoyé la semaine dernière en prison et il devra y rester jusqu’à ce que sa cause passe en appel, au début de l’été 2006. [...]

[...] California and 29 other states already have one, but that hasn’t helped Josh Wolf, a video-blogging convergence journalist who videoed an anti-G8 demonstration in 2005 and has been jailed under federal regulations for refusing to turn over footage to the police. It is clear that state shield laws have had no effect on the Federal Government, which has used every excuse it can to jail, threaten or intimidate journalists—journalists who perform a vital and Constitutionally protected task in American society. [...]
