Newsroom Magazine's principal mission is to credibly and responsibly inform readers about the world in which we live.
Skeptical Editing
What we present as fact is to the best of our knowledge true and sufficiently revealed to be relied upon.Relevancy
What we publish is selected based on its news value and/or its national or global relevance to responsible citizens and those who seek to govern them.Probity
What we publish is chosen to provide meaningful insight into, or clearer perspective about the world in which we live.Fidelity To Fact
The foundations upon which our mission rest are fairness, accountability, responsibility and fidelity-to-fact.Public Interest
Serving the public interest without fear or prejudice rests upon our collective commitment to a clearly defined code of ethics, and consistently applied journalistic standards and editorial practices.The journalistic mechanisms by which we stand and to which we commit our reputation are credibility, relevancy and probity.
Searchable Repository
Fulfillment of our mission rests, in part, on Newsroom Magazine's searchable and globally visible repository of everything we publish.Our mission requires that we record and index reports, findings and official statements about the role of government(s) in the world in which we live that are based upon editorial selection predicated upon credibility, relevancy and probity.
Governmental Content
To fully understand what government is doing, or failing to do, depends on a broad range of information about world and national issues and events. We focus on national and international stories -- most of which are related to U.S. government actions, decisions, legislation, regulation and military matters.Spin And Propaganda
Government generated news and information is no more forthright, or accurate, or fair, or complete than any other source of information whose content is intended to support, explain or spin a single viewpoint. Governmental news releases, statements or testimony is by definition propaganda -- no matter how much substantive information surrounds it.Information That Matters
Newsroom Magazine does not edit or modify government provided information, but we do consciously select and publish content that contains explicit information worthy of being permanently visible online.What Government Says Matters
While our editors seek to publish government-sourced information for its factual foundations we knowingly publish, from time to time, governmental materials that are egregiously overstated, highly politicized, slanted to administration policy, or simply foolish or misguided.Unvarnished Reality
What we publish is intended to provide the reader an unfiltered glimpse of government. We offer neither support for that which is best, nor criticism of that which is not. Our job is to validate that the source materials published by Newsroom Magazine are legitimate government delivered information.The government, department, agency, or authority to which the content is attributed is solely responsible for the credibility, accuracy and fairness of what they said and how they said it.
World Wide Reference
Being an on-line publication means that the immense indexing capabilities inherent in our database(s) makes our content a repository of news and information that is easily accessible by anyone, anywhere and any time.Responsible Adults, Skeptical Editing, Thoughtful Commentary
Those who form, select, edit, oversee, manage and/or author Newsroom Magazine content are charged with fulfilling our mission by way of a narrative, opinion, commentaries, essays, editorials, news analysis, and stories about the human condition and/or the American Experience.Supplemental Content
Narrative content published by Newsroom Magazine is supported, when and where appropriate, by utility resources including definitions of terms or words that appear in both narrative and news content and/or logical definitions and constructs.Newsworthy Content
In fulfillment of our mission we pledge to be responsible, credible and journalistically sound so that we might deliver newsworthy information and materials including that which reveals government in its own words absent fear or prejudice.| State Department Tightens Visa Restrictions On Iranian Officials | Browse All Content | Transportation Department Says Pilot Programs Successful At Curbing Driver Texting | |||

Vancouver
July 5, 2011
ACM SIGGRAPH, the Association for Computing Machinery’s Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques, will present its Award for Lifetime Achievement in Digital Art to Charles Csuri for his visionary and creative merging of art and technology. Through his work, Csuri inspired generations to embrace computer imaging as a serious form of artistic investigation. An artist, computer graphics pioneer and professor emeritus at The Ohio State University, Csuri will receive the award at SIGGRAPH 2011 in Vancouver, BC, Canada, August 8.
ACM SIGGRAPH Art Award Chair Cynthia Beth Rubin said Csuri is a true visionary: “Decades ago, he embraced the aesthetic potential of early computer imaging, and since then he has unfailingly worked in both teaching and aesthetic production, keeping us growing, discussing, and moving forward.”
Csuri was instrumental in the establishment of Ohio State’s Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design (ACCAD), a leading center on the use and integration of emerging arts technologies, with funding from the National Science Foundation. “Chuck Csuri’s early and unique vision of an interdisciplinary collaborative, creative research center between the arts and sciences continues to permeate our culture,” said Maria Palazzi, director of ACCAD. “All of us who have had the privilege to study and work in this environment are profoundly grateful to Chuck for his vision, persistence and leadership in this field and at Ohio State. He has impacted the lives of generations of students who are now top professionals in graphics and animation throughout the world.”
Csuri began his work in intertwining of art and computer science in the 1960s. He experimented with computer animation, winning awards and acclaim throughout Europe and the United States. As a painter, Csuri was immersed in the passionate discussions of his time, when abstract expressionists challenged everything from the purpose of art to the functions of abstract compositional elements. Through his personal network of colleagues, he was also aware of parallel discourses among scientists who debated the role of computers in society. His profound understanding of these two cultures put him in a unique position to merge aesthetics and computing, long before either group recognized the potential synergies.
With support from NSF, the US Navy and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Csuri directed research on computer graphics for over 22 years. The results of these studies have been applied to flight simulators, computer-aided design, architecture, magnetic resonance imaging, visualization of scientific phenomena and special effects for TV and film.
Csuri’s work is included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Zagreb Museum of Contemporary Art, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the ZKM Center for Art and Media, and other important collections. He received B.F.A. and M.A. degrees from Ohio State.
