On a recent afternoon in Corriganville Park, an old movie-set ranch in the rocky foothills of the Santa Susana Mountains in Southern California’s Simi Valley, with her blonde bouffant teased to previously uncharted dimensions, a spiked headdress in the shape of a bursting nebula, Wonder Woman–esque wrist cuffs, and bulbous Proenza Schouler open-toe shoes, Jennifer Coolidge looked very much the part of a sci-fi superheroine. She brought to mind such greats as Jane Fonda in Barbarella, Zsa Zsa Gabor in Queen of Outer Space, and First Mate Piggy in “Pigs in Space,” the cult Muppets space opera.

Coolidge, who this year swept the Emmys, Golden Globes, and Critics Choice Awards for her portrayal of a heedless hotel habitué on The White Lotus, was engaged in a winner-takes-all slugfest with Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, the directing duo known as Daniels, whose multiverse epic, Everything Everywhere All at Once, was the most nominated film at this year’s Academy Awards. It was a surreal scene. Coolidge was protecting Earth from a giant extraterrestrial fashion lobster with monstrous claws, played by Scheinert, but instead of “Pow!” and “Whack!” their interaction was more like “Pow” and…“Whack?”

“I think the best thing to do is to take this,” said Kwan, handing Coolidge a rhinestone-encrusted metal scepter before ducking back behind the camera. “Act like you’re going to stab him.” Coolidge squinted her eyes, seemingly confused about the nature of her superpowers. “Oh, you mean I’m supposed to be annihilating him? That’s cool, I guess,” she said. She proceeded to gently prod Scheinert, who appeared to barely feel the might of her wrath under the spiked sleeves of his crustacean-couture ensemble. Glancing back and forth between his camera’s viewfinder and the low-stakes combat unfolding before him, Kwan furrowed his brow. “You’re being shocked by the scepter,” he explained to Scheinert. Trying not to laugh, he added, “And maybe, kind of, enjoying it.” Scheinert put his claws on his hips, nodding his head in agreement, his whiskerlike antennae flopping in the air. As if on cue, Coolidge prodded him once again, this time more forcefully, sending Scheinert into an exaggerated Looney Tunes–like convulsion, followed by suggestive gyrations reminiscent of a K-Pop boy-bander.

Coolidge let out a loud cackle. “I can’t kill him now,” she said, her face awash with childlike amusement. When the camera clicks paused, Scheinert peeled off his Robyn Lynch balaclava. Shirley Kurata, Daniels’ costume designer, began removing his arthropod exterior. “What is it about lobster claws that I’m so attracted to?” Coolidge wondered. She then turned her attention to surveying the clothing racks filled with tubular disc dresses, new-wave hats shaped like lampshades, and metallic-hued space cowboy boots. “Oh, so this is what we’re going to be doing today,” she said, her voice tinged with bewildered excitement. “I look pretty evil. They seem to like me in villain outfits a lot.”

...

For their latest romp, the directors said there was no question that Coolidge had to be the A-list star of this B-movie shoot, though they had never worked with the actor and their only in-person interaction with her was a brief hello at the Critics Choice Awards in January. “But of all the people who are having a moment right now, she felt like someone exciting to put on the cover of a magazine,” Kwan said. Thanks to her Rubenesque figure, flowing blonde locks, bee-stung pout, and million-dollar smize, Coolidge certainly stands out in everything she’s in, whether she’s playing a dim-witted nail tech in Legally Blonde, a desperate housewife having a lesbian affair with her poodle’s trainer in Best in Show, a sultry suburban MILF in American Pie, a trigger-happy mother-in-law to Jennifer Lopez’s bride-to-be in Shotgun Wedding, or, most recently, a psychic TV medium in Netflix’s We Have a Ghost.

More than anything, Scheinert explained, the directors appreciate a stacked résumé. “I’m prejudiced against young people,” he said. “I have problems with our youth-obsessed culture and beauty standards, so anytime we can shake things up a little, I’m all for it.” Kwan and Scheinert, who are both 35, said working with Michelle Yeoh, 60, Jamie Lee Curtis, 64, and now Coolidge, 61, allows them to pick up “different strategies for existing in this industry,” almost as if by osmosis. “We still feel like just babies,” Kwan said.

On that point, Coolidge was in firm agreement. “The film business tires people out. But I swear to god, I felt like I was getting together with little kids,” she said of her day with the directors. “They were like these sort of child prodigies who are super, super smart and just super creative. I’ve never been asked to do a shoot like this: I have weapons, take down small cities, pick up cars and throw them. I don’t know if I will ever be this surprised again. It was one of the best things I have ever been involved in.”

Like the rest of the world, Kwan and Scheinert swooned over Coolidge’s performance as Tanya in The White Lotus. They were mesmerized as she blasted her way to a clumsy demise on a megayacht chartered by the fearsome Fab Five of Sicily in the final episode of the show’s second season. One of Tanya’s lines is now the stuff of meme legend: “These gays, they’re trying to murder me!”

Speaking about Tanya, but also possibly referring to her own trajectory, Coolidge said: “I feel bad for her, because she didn’t know what she was made of. She didn’t have that kind of faith in herself. Sometimes these scary things happen in life. And then you find out, in like two seconds, that you are a survivor and that you can really pull through for yourself, sometimes in a way that you never believed you could.” Then, with inimitable comic timing, she pitched her raspy voice ever so slightly so it sounded like her scatterbrained character on The White Lotus: “But then, of course, it didn’t quite end up going my way in the end, did it?”

Week 2: Personal Investigation Series

Be Me

(1) What is a defining moment in your life and how did it impact you?

I’d say one of my defining moments in life was being nominated for multiple Chicago/Midwest Emmy Awards in the “student” category during my time as a TV/Video production student at MATC. Being nominated for an award such as an Emmy is something that really validates the time and effort you put into a project. It also bolstered my confidence by making me feel like I know what I’m doing. After graduating I started an LLC and I continue to create videos promoting theater companies here in Milwaukee. I feel like a part of a community.

(2) What is something new you recently tried and loved?

I can’t think of any one particular thing that I’ve recently tried that is brand new to me, but I do often find tutorials on Youtube for some sort of design technique I want to learn, and I learn it. I love learning how to do new things using any of the Adobe software.

(3) What makes you lose track of time?

Designing. Photography. Video Production. Engaging in any of these artforms that I’ve dedicated my life to always makes me lose track of time. I spend many full nights awake because I’ll get so lost in creating something new.

Let Go

(1) Be fearless! What would you do if you were not afraid?

Go into space. Visit the Moon. There are other obstacles besides fear for all the things that can go wrong in space such as money, but if I had the money and I could overcome my fear of death in space I would totally want to experience it first-hand.

(2) Where have you found peace? What advice would you give another student on how to manage stress?

Anyplace in nature I can find peace. I often don’t take my own advice enough, but I would say to another student to frequently find someplace away from any human-made structures and just take in your surroundings. I find that time in nature always restores my sense of humility.

(3) What did you learn from your biggest regret? In other words, how did you transform failure into a positive?

I have no idea what my biggest regret it. I really try not to dwell on mistakes I’ve made in the past, I just learn from them. Which I’m aware is the point of this question. I quess any time something doesn’t turn out the way I would have liked I think about why that may have been and then I don’t make that mistake the next time.

Humility

(1) What is one of the kindest things someone has ever done for you? that you have done for someone?

I really can’t recall one of the “kindest” things I’ve done for someone. I try to do kind things all the time but nothing extravagant sticks out to me. Perhaps there are things I’ve done that meant a lot to someone that I didn’t realize meant a lot. For example, I’ve been working at the Manfred Olson Planetarium on campus for the past 4 or 5 years on the production staff. At one point, a couple years ago, the opportunity opened up to be what is essentially the person in charge of the production staff. It seems everyone expected I would take on the role as the most senior person on staff, but I instead suggested it go to one of my colleagues. I know I didn’t have the time to take on the role and I knew she was more than capable of the task. It wasn’t until maybe half a year later when the director of the planetarium told me that I found out how much it meant to my colleague that I suggested her. It made me feel good that it made her feel so good.

In terms of somebody doing something kind for me, there’s no way I can choose just one. I don’t feel right elevating any of the kind deeds I’ve been lucky enough to be the recipient of over the others. I’m a lucky person.

(2) Describe a moment in your life where you experienced humility. What were key take-a-ways?

I mentioned this in one of my answers above, but nature always restores my humility. The power of nature and the sheer size of it is enough to make anybody humble. The first time I saw the Milky Way is a story I tell over and over. It was just after high school and a friend of mine, my cousin and myself embarked on a two week “grand driving tour” of a bunch of the National Parks located in the western U.S. Our first day we drove from Milwaukee to Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado and it was a long day. We left Milwaukee at the crack of dawn and it wasn’t until 3am the next day we arrived at our destination. Prior to arriving, however, our car got a flat tire in the middle of the Colorado plains. No cities were nearby, and we didn’t have a spare tire. We were exhausted, I was so adamant that we had to make it to the park on time, and I was just angry. I had been planning this trip for us for months beforehand and this was how it started out. We called AAA and decided to get out of the car as we waited for someone to reach us and help change the tire. The second I stepped out of the vehicle I was blown away by the night sky. It was a moonless night, no clouds were in the sky, there were no streetlights on the highway and there were more stars than I could have ever imagined one could see in the sky. At that point all of my frustration disappeared, and I was changed forever. Never had my troubles seemed so insignificant as when I looked up that night and realized how small we really are.

(3) What are you passionate about and want to spend more time doing?

I’m passionate about our planet. I want to spend more time exploring it and enjoying its beauty. I spend way too much time indoors in front of screens.

The documentary is available on demand on the Discovery Channel.

The story behind the book:

The new documentary Rancher, Farmer, Fisherman tells the inspiring story of heartland conservation heroes who are feeding the world while stewarding the land and water.

The film is a tribute to people like Justin Knopf, a fifth-generation Kansas farmer revolutionizing industrial scale agriculture to rebuild the fertility, biodiversity and resilience of his soil, and Dusty Crary, a fourth-generation Montana rancher who forged alliances between cattlemen, federal agencies, hunters and environmental groups to protect the Rocky Mountain Front.

Based on a book by best-selling author Miriam Horn of Environmental Defense Fund, Rancher, Farmer, Fisherman was directed by Oscar nominee and Emmy winner Susan Froemke and Emmy winner John Hoffman, and narrated by award-winning journalist Tom Brokaw.

The film premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival and debuted on the Discovery Channel in August 2017.

Will Holst - Writer/Director/Producer

Biography - Will Holst is an independent filmmaker who has won 6 Emmy Awards from the Rocky Mountain Southwest Chapter for his short documentary work. He has directed international commercials and video campaign elements for Make-A-Wish America, Macy’s, Southwest Airlines, and many others. His love of documentary work has engrained him with the desire to share untold stories featuring diverse characters as a way of challenging and uprooting “status quo” storytelling. Mind Over Time is his first short work of original fiction.

Director’s Statement - What is truth and what stories do we tell? As a documentary filmmaker, who has recently started writing and directing works of narrative fiction, these primary ethical and moral quandaries regarding my subjects remain the cornerstones of my creative process. As a filmmaker, I have chosen to challenge the “status quo” of what society claims as accepted truth, by creating diverse stories inclusive of characters, artists, and voices whose backgrounds and experiences are often very different from my own. Only through a continued examination, annotation, and eradication of the societal norms which have catered to a chosen few, can we hope to achieve an ardently just and unprejudiced society. This starts with representation in media to reveal, not only where we are lagging in these efforts, but ways in which we can begin anew to work towards this goal. The stories we choose to tell can break down the old, while ushering in a powerful new, truth.

‘News Matters’ documentary will focus on Denver and a crisis in local journalism Your weekly roundup of Colorado local news & media

#localnews📽 🗿 😦 🗞 ⛅

more news https://northdenvernews.com

A Colorado filmmaker’s documentary slated to come out this fall will tell the story of our current local news crisis through what he calls the “desperate attempt of Colorado journalists to try and save” The Denver Post.

Brian Malone, an Emmy Award-winning independent filmmaker from Castle Rock, released a trailer today for his upcoming film News Matters: Inside the rebellion to save America’s newspapers. “It’s a very personal story,” he said in an interview last night. “From some of the participants, the journalists themselves, and what they had to live through.”

Malone is talking about the circumstances surrounding The Denver Rebellion of 2018 when the newspaper’s journalists rose up against their hedge-fund owner following mass layoffs. A lot has changed since those dramatic days. In a recent conversation I had with a non-Post newsroom leader for an upcoming story about foundational shifts in the current Colorado news scene, I was told, “I don’t need to read about the Denver Rebellion anymore … we’re way past that.” A hedge fund still controls the paper, however, and recent cuts have sliced into the newsroom. As diminished as it is, the Post remains an outlet with one of the furthest reaches and largest newsrooms in Colorado. Its journalists work incredibly hard and do indispensable work under unfortunate circumstances beyond their control.

Malone was rolling film on the ground early in those spring days in 2018, filming journalists as they protested outside the newspaper’s printing plant, and he had early access to some of the pivotal characters. He accompanied former Post editorial page editor Chuck Plunkett, who resigned after leading the revolt, on the day he packed up his things and left his office for the last time. “Chuck is a central character in this film, and a lot of it is his journey and his decision to leave The Denver Post,” Malone says.

In the trailer, former Gov. John Hickenlooper, who is now running in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate, makes some cameos, as do current and former Denver Post staffers. Also appearing are journalists from The Colorado Sun during their early days. The public benefit corporation, now nearing two years old, has close to 10,000 paying members and is no longer relying on a starter grant from a blockchain-and-cryptocurrency company.

youtube

News Matters will be Malone’s 18th film, he says. In 2017, he produced Beyond Standing Rock with Inside Energy and Rocky Mountain PBS about the Dakota Access pipeline protest “and its roots in a 170-year-long conflict between tribes and the U.S. government over independence, land ownership, and control of resources.” In 2006, he did Breaking News about coverage of celebrity trials.

His latest film is a co-production of Fast Forward Films and Rocky Mountain PBS. (When talking with Malone about the film yesterday, he asked if I’d help connect some dots in work he’s already done as he finishes up the post production, and I said I’d consider it.)

Colorado, it seems, will get plenty of play on the silver screen in the coming months, and those interested in Denver’s role in the history and potential future of our local news armageddon will be spoiled. You’ll recall in December, you read here about another documentary scheduled for release next year with a focus on The Denver Rebellion. Stripped for Parts: American Journalism at the Crossroads, by California filmmaker Rick Goldsmith, also tackles the crisis in local news. He released a trailer six months ago, and earlier this month sent an email to his network saying he was still hard at work on it.

“It’s a big world, there are lots of different angles to cover on this story,” Malone says. “I feel like my story is unique and personal, and it’s very representative, it strikes a chord, and I believe it will be on the pulse of what journalists — newspaper journalists, particularly — are feeling around the country.”

Diversity is ‘the first thing that goes’

As the novel coronavirus scythes through the ranks of journalists and forces some news outlets to close entirely, a former editor of The Denver Post is warning of a “whitening” in media among the fallout.

Greg Moore, who spent 14 years leading The Denver Post and is now a partner at the marketing firm Deke Digital, appeared this week on Democracy Now! for a segment about the pandemic’s affect’s on journalism. When host Amy Goodman asked about the issue of diversity as more local newsrooms close, Moore responded, “Yeah, that’s the first thing that goes, is diversity. A lot of times, those people tend to be the last ones hired and the first ones to be laid off. And so, one of the things you begin to see is the whitening of the media.”

Moore went on in the clip:

And in particular, I’m really concerned about some of the new digital startups. I mean, when you go and look at many of these digital startups, very few people of color are a part of that system. And I think that’s the number one thing as we look to the future of media in this country, whatever that is going to become, is to get a recommitment that it should be for everyone. And we need people of color at all levels to be able to participate, tell the stories that need to be told the right way. Right now that’s suffering.

Plenty has been written about the failures in media when it comes to diversity and inclusion — Columbia Journalism Review dedicated an entire issue to it in the fall of 2018 — and the industry has been slow to make gains, in Colorado and elsewhere. It would be a sick irony if those recent gains, slim as they might be, do become a quick casualty of COVID-19 in the way Moore warns.

More on the Moore show

Democracy Now! invited Moore on the show because he had penned a recent piece for Pulitzer[dot]org about how the current coronavirus crisis could reshape a crippled local news industry. From the piece:

Could this be the moment to redirect the trajectory of local news? Can organizations accelerate the transition to digital, jettison print, and invest those savings and subscriber revenues for a post-COVID-19 world where wicked problems are the new normal? Journalists are surely hoping that is the case. Listening to editors, you realize how transformative the COVID-19 bomb could be for journalism.

The past Pulitzer Prize board chair checked in with a handful of newspaper editors from around the country to get a sense of what they’re thinking. He closed with this: “Industry thinkers need to get the right people together to figure out the right profit, the right technology, and the right funding models. In doing so, they just might figure out how to hold off the eulogy for local news, and instead get ready for the next wicked problem coming our way.”

In his Democracy Now! segment, Moore went further about how those funding models might look. “I think we ought to look at a taxpayer-funded model,” he said. “I think we should look at a model that’s similar to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I think we have to look at philanthropy. I think we have to look at social impact funds that might be willing to fund journalism. I think we need to look at everything.”

Colorado has been ahead of most states on discussions about the ways in which public support for local news might be able to work in a contemporary industry with an inherent allergy to it. Moore also said Facebook and Google — two social media giants that are giving money to Colorado newsrooms — aren’t giving enough, calling their investment “a fraction of what they need to put on the table.”

‘We are subsidizing the public education system’

As educators rapidly scramble to figure out distance-learning during the pandemic, Rocky Mountain PBS this week launched a new morning TV program with teachers that offers daily lessons for kids. The move is in partnership with the Colorado governor’s office, the state Department of Education, and others.

About a month ago, the governor’s office reached out to see if the station that reaches roughly 98% of households with a TV or the internet, could help, says RMPBS president Amanda Mountain. New Jersey, Tennessee, and Missouri are doing something similar. “What we started talking about is how could we use the broadcast infrastructure of Rocky Mountain PBS,” Mountain says, adding that some of its highest viewership is in the state’s most poverty-stricken areas. “We already have a high level of trust with families, and particularly underserved families who are English-as-a-second-language families.”

In Colorado, Mountain says, more than half of Colorado kids don’t attend a licensed pre-school before going into kindergarten and are often behind before they get started. “As PBS, we are subsidizing the public education system because those families that can’t afford preschool, which are many — the cost of preschool is prohibitive for the majority of families — they are already looking to our educational content as a way to help teach their kid before they get into the formal school system.”

Mountain recently published a column about the new program in The Colorado Sun. An excerpt:

School districts across the state report that nearly 65,000 families do not have reliable internet. During a time that is now marked by an increasing scarcity of childcare and an attendant abundance of screens, families are facing huge burdens as they try to keep their kids learning. It’s unclear how much learning is going on for those who have tablets or computers and can use Zoom and Google Hangouts – but in areas without reliable access to high-speed internet (or without the devices to access it) the answer is likely very little. One thing we do know: many of these families have television. The numbers of households tuning in to PBS Kids channels tell us these families are still watching.

About the partnership with the governor’s office and state education department, Mountain says: “We knew together that there was this issue as while we’re doing a rapid transition to distance learning there were going to be wide swaths of Colorado’s kids that were kind of let out.”

How week 10 of COVID coverage looked on Sunday’s front pages across Colorado

The Summit Daily News reported on a study that suggests people who grew up at higher altitudes could be less susceptible to the virus. The Loveland Reporter-Herald covered how a farmers market will reopen in June with precautions. The Longmont Times-Call reported the virus caseload was at 822 in Boulder County. Under the headline “Canceled Culture, The Greeley Tribune handled how the city is feeling a pinch amid kaput or postponed events. In “Sound of Silence,” The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel reported on the impacts of the shutdown on area music venues. The Gazette in Colorado Springs reported “routinely collected cellphone data shows Coloradans acted independently and in advance of the state’s orders during the past two months, distancing themselves prior to the statewide stay-at-home order and then partially easing back toward normal behavior prior to the state’s relaxation of the order on April 27.” The Coloradoan in Fort Collins explained how political primary season will play out along a socially distant campaign trail. The Durango Herald reported how school counseling has gone virtual. The Denver Post explored how the virus is taking a toll on Colorado churches. The Boulder Daily Camera reported how “graduating from college in the middle of a pandemic is weird.”

More spokesperson bylines and news releases

More Colorado newspapers are publishing items readers might mistake as news that in reality are crafted by government spokespeople paid to make their government agencies look good. Some newspapers are (pardon the pun) copping to it when they do it; others are not. (When this is pointed out, one way of handling it has been to update the byline with a disclosure; another has been to just remove the item from a webpage.)

As far as best practices go, when a newspaper receives a press release from a publicity agent, a reporter independently writing a story based off of information in it is preferable. It’s understandable some newspapers might lack the staff to independently report each press release it believes carries information its readers should know. But if a news organization must run a news release verbatim, the paper should tell its readers who wrote it. This week offered two case studies.

Case 1: Under the headline “Five new officers come aboard at MPD” in The Montrose Daily Press, appears this byline (meaning the name of the author): William Woody, City of Montrose. At the end of the item appears this: “William Woody is the public information officer for the City of Montrose.”

Case 2: Under the headline “Great Sand Dunes to begin phased reopening on June 3” in The Valley Courier in Alamosa, appears no byline at all. But the text is verbatim from a news release on the website of the National Park Service.

Bold claim: A newspaper should let its readers know when it’s publishing government publicity material. I’m willing to turn the microphone over to anyone with a compelling argument for otherwise in next week’s newsletter.

Underrepresented audiences get grants

Eight Colorado media outlets and two community organizations that are “on the front lines of providing accurate information about COVID-19 to Colorado’s diverse racial/ethnic communities and non-English-speaking residents” earned grants totaling $50,000 from the Colorado Media Project this week.

From the announcement:

The range of COVID-19 Informed Communities grant recipients is broad, including two immigrant and refugee centers that provide public health information in more than 15 languages via SMS and WhatsApp; television and radio stations catering to the Spanish-speaking residents in Denver, Colorado Springs, and mountain communities; one community radio station serving Ute tribal communities in the Four Corners and another serving Aurora’s Ethiopian and East African populations; a hyperlocal print outlet serving Colorado Springs’ most diverse ZIP codes; and print and digital media hubs serving Colorado’s Asian and African-American communities.

The eight newsrooms are Denver Urban Spectrum, Entravision, Southern Ute Tribal Radio, La Tricolor Aspen, Que Bueno 1280, Rocky Mountain Multicultural Radio, Mile High Asian Media, and The Southeast Express.

“Recipients were selected for their ability to actively reach and engage specific and underrepresented audiences or geographic areas to share timely updates on the unfolding COVID-19 public health crisis and related economic impacts,” according to the CMP. (The Colorado Media Project is a partner in the Colorado News Collaborative with The Colorado Independent where this newsletter appears as a column.)

It’s nice to see outlets representing Colorado Springs and Pueblo on the list, given the blank space represented on the interactive map of COVID-19 coverage. But one Hispanic independent news organization owner in Pueblo is bummed he didn’t make the cut. PULP publisher John Rodriguez has been trying to raise awareness about a dearth of coverage ability in the region as The Pueblo Chieftain shrinks. “Denver needs to understand the gravity of the situation in Pueblo,” he says.

Photojournalists on the front lines

Since the pandemic began, the news director for Denver’s CBS affiliate, Tim Wieland, has been keeping his audience apprised of the many ways the virus has affected how the station’s journalists work. This week, he explained the new normal for CBS4 photojournalists. From his piece:

“We always say we’re like the last cowboy. Out there when everyone else has gone. Blizzard, wildfire, pandemic. We’re out there.” Kevin Hartfield is the Chief Photographer at CBS4. He’s been a photojournalist for nearly 40 years, but he’s never covered a story like this one. “There’s always been a risk involved, but this is different. We have to think about everything, like how to put a microphone on a person, how to get audio, how to navigate the whole area — are there a lot of people, are we safe there?” Kevin considers all of this on the stories he covers daily, but also stays in close touch with the rest of the team. “I tell them, safety is your priority. If you’re not feeling safe, speak up, or leave, or call me for advice. Safety is number one.”

…

Makenzie O’Keefe tells me that she also game plans before every story, but it’s a little different for her. She’s an MMJ, which means she is both the reporter and photographer. That’s required her to get creative, “I have a boom pole but it’s tough to use as an MMJ. I’ve been using a light stand and hooking my wireless microphone to the top of it. Then the person I’m interviewing can walk up to it, while I get behind the camera.” Makenzie says she tries to be outside when shooting her stories, and her story shoots are more focused. “It’s a whole different process. It’s very condensed. Quick interview, quick video and get out. It’s hard for me because I really like to chat with people I interview.” When she does work inside, she says the safety protocols are even more intense. “Today I shot a story inside a soda plant. I had to step on a rug, clean off my shoes, they checked my temperature, gave me gloves, glasses and of course I had to be wearing a mask.” She expects this will be the norm, as more businesses reopen, “I think everyone is really thinking about safety. It’s good to see.”

Those are just two of the station’s photojournalists Wieland checked in with for the column. “One thing all of our photojournalists told me is that they understand these risks come with the job, and the reward is doing work that provides a tremendous service to the community,” he writes. He ends his column by saying he hopes we “come out of this crisis with an appreciation for the photojournalists and reporters taking their own risks to provide vital information.”

10 Summer Dangers for Dogs — And How to Avoid Them

10 Summer Dangers for Dogs — And How to Avoid Them http://bit.ly/2UksOrS

The post 10 Summer Dangers for Dogs — And How to Avoid Them by Sassafras Lowrey appeared first on Dogster. Copying over entire articles infringes on copyright laws. You may not be aware of it, but all of these articles were assigned, contracted and paid for, so they aren't considered public domain. However, we appreciate that you like the article and would love it if you continued sharing just the first paragraph of an article, then linking out to the rest of the piece on Dogster.com.

The dog days of summer are opportunities for fun in the sun with Fido, but the hot summer weather also brings the following top health and safety concerns.

1. Walking dogs on hot pavement

Walks are a great way to keep your dog physically and mentally exercised, but in the summer months they come with some specific health concerns. Emmy award-winning veterinarian Dr. Jeff Werber cautions that dog parents should pay special attention to the pavement and how hot it is. “Remember, even after dark the pavement retains heat and can injure your dog’s pads,” he says.

Not sure if it’s too hot? Place your hand on the pavement. If you have to pull your own hand away because it’s too hot for you, then it’s too hot for your dog’s paws.

Plan your dog walks for early morning hours, late afternoon or early evening, and always avoid having your dog out in the midday heat. If you must walk your dog in the heat of the day invest in booties to protect your dog’s sensitive pads from the hot pavement.

2. Riding in cars

When driving with your dog in the summer, always keep the air conditioning on for the safety and comfort of your dog. “If the car is too hot for you, then it’s too hot for your dog,” Dr. Werber explains.

Cars are dangerous places for dogs in summer heat, and dogs should never be left in a parked car, even in the shade or in a parking garage. Even with the windows cracked, temperatures inside a car increase rapidly and can quickly be fatal to your dog.

3. Leaving dogs outside

Increasingly, cities and states are instituting new legal protections for dogs that prohibit them being left outside in extreme cold or hot temperatures. In Pennsylvania, for example, people who leave dogs outside in over 90-degrees Fahrenheit heat could face steep fines or even jail time.

If for some reason your dog must be left outside, Dr. Werber advises that your dog must be provided free access to water. In addition, your dog must be able to get either natural shade or consistent shade created by an awning or other structure.

4. Brachycephalic dogs overheating

While hot weather can be dangerous for all dogs, there are particular breeds more at risk in hot weather due to breathing problems — dogs with more pushed-in faces (brachycephalic dogs) such as: Pugs, French Bulldogs, Boston Terriers, Boxers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Bulldogs, Shih Tzus, Pekingese, Affenpinschers, Japanese Chins, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Lhasa Apsos and Brussels Griffons.

These dogs are better off inside in air conditioning during the hottest of summer months.

Japanese Chins are particularly at risk in hot weather. Dr. Werber also cautions that “Pekingese and Lhasa Apso have more thickness around their necks than other breeds and are more inclined to having pharyngeal stenosis. This can make breathing and panting more challenging, which is why you often hear them ‘snoring.’ These breeds are more prone to overheating.��

Before traveling, check with the airlines on any pet restrictions during warm weather months.

5. Heatstroke

Dogs pant to cool down, but ongoing panting can be a sign that your dog is overheating and in distress. If your dog has been in the heat, is incessantly panting, has slowed down, appears extremely tired and doesn’t want to move, Dr. Werber cautions that the dog could be experiencing heatstroke, which can be fatal.

If you think your dog has heatstroke, get him to a veterinarian right away. While en route, Dr. Werber says to dribble water into your dog’s mouth to keep it moist and try to soak down the feet as well as the body, which should help to bring down your dog’s overall body temperature. He advises that “room temperature water is best — you don’t want to cool them down too quickly.”

6. Not drinking enough water

Year-round, but especially in the summer heat, it’s essential that your dog has constant access to fresh water. Because risk of dehydration in dogs increases in the summer heat, make sure your dog stays hydrated while you are out enjoying the warm weather. Always carry water for your dog and have a travel water bowl with you for hikes and outings, but also for neighborhood walks. Take frequent breaks to give your dog an opportunity to drink. Dr. Werber also encourages dog guardians to “soak a bandanna in water and freeze it overnight. Wrap it around your dog’s neck before a walk.”

At home, up the amount of water you give your dog, especially if you are away from the house all day. A dog water fountain is even better, as it provides lots of fresh water all day long.

7. Shaving your dog could actually be harmful

A fur coat might look hot in the summer heat, but your dog’s fur actually keeps them cool. AKC executive secretary, Gina DiNardo, explains that while it might be tempting to give your pup a cool summer trim or shave, doing so might actually be harmful.

“People tend to think that doublecoated breeds suffer more in hot weather because of the massive amounts of coat,” she says. “However, this is not the case. Their coat traps the air closest to the skin and keeps it the same temperature as their ideal body temperature. Also, if you shave a dog down to the skin, you not only increase the risk of heatstroke, but sunburn, too.”

Gina also advises that dogs who have hair instead of fur such as Poodles and Bichons can be shaved in the summer, but to keep enough coat to protect the dog’s skin from the sun.

8. Sunburn

There are a variety of canine sunscreens on the market that can help to protect your dog’s sensitive skin from sun damage. Don’t use human sunscreens on dogs, as they usually include zinc or other ingredients not safe for dogs to ingest (since dogs lick everything!).

Sunscreen is important for areas of your dog’s body that are more exposed, such as right above the nose, the belly, abdomen and groin area. Short-coated and light-colored dogs are especially at risk of sunburns. Hairless dogs should always wear sunscreen when out in the summer.

9. Ticks

Beyond being a painful nuisance, ticks can transmit serious disease to your dog including Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Make sure your dog is up-to-date on flea/tick prevention, and know what diseases ticks in your area of the country spread. Carry a tick remover, and check your dog for ticks after walks.

10. Swimming concerns

Yes, dogs can drown. No, not all dogs know how to swim. Even if your dog does know how to swim, he can get tired and, unlike humans, he doesn’t know how to do the dead man’s float to rest. Always fit your pup with a canine life vest to support his mid-section and hindquarters to keep him safe. The handle at the top also makes it easy to pull your dog out of the water if you are on a boat or paddleboard.

If you have a pool, teach your dog how to safely get in and out, so he doesn’t drown trying to get out. Dogs in pools should also be wearing a canine life vest. Brachycephalic dogs, puppies, seniors, dogs with short legs and long backs and barrel-chested dogs, in particular, should always wear a canine life vest.
