5 PITT WRESTLERS TO COMPETE AT NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS

FUMBLE!

Griffin Floyd Staff Writer

The City of Pittsburgh will host the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships at PPG Paints Arena starting Thursday morning and running through Saturday evening. With Pitt hosting for the first time since 1957, it’s fitting that the Panthers will send five wrestlers to enjoy the hometown advantage: redshirt freshman Micky Phillippi, junior Demetrius Thomas, redshirt junior Taleb Rahmani, redshirt freshman Nino Bonaccorsi and redshirt junior Kellan Stout.

Phillippi is the headliner for Pitt, snagging the No. 4 seed among 33 competitors in the 133-pound division. He was the most dominant Panther throughout the season, achieving a 19-2 record — Sophomore outfielder Hunter Levesque (05) before dropping Ohio University’s fly ball to center field during the 10th inning, allowing two runs from the Bobcats. Pitt lost the game 11-9. Thomas Yang | assistant visual editor including a nail-biting win over No. 1 seed Oklahoma State first-year Daton Fix back in January — along with an ACC title.

FORMER PG EDITOR DISCUSSES TRUTH IN JOURNALISM

Journalism, pg. 1 he won the 1995 Pulitzer Prize for his political analyses in Washington. Most recently, he served as executive editor of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette from 2003 to the end of 2018, when he stepped down to become a scholarin-residence at McGill University in Montreal.

Shribman said he encounters questions about factual accuracy in the media daily, noting that when he was speaking at Northeastern University on Monday, he made it only five minutes before someone made a joke about fake news.

This has had an impact on public perception of reporting, Shribman said. According to annual polls released by Gallup, trust in national news media is down to 32 percent from more than 50 percent in 2000. And according to a poll from Axios and Survey Monkey, 72 percent of Americans believe news sources report information they know to be false.

But while the rise of the term “fake news” has had a monumental impact on public perception, it has also impacted the practice of journalism, according to Shribman.

He said journalists can no longer take for granted the ability to discover the truth with

good sourcing.

“For nearly a half century in journalism, I’ve navigated with the aid of a newspaper man’s North Star — the convention that there is such a thing as objective truth that can be discovered and delivered through passionate hard work and passionate good faith,” Shribman said.

Since the perception and communication of facts by previously reputable sources is shaky, he said, journalists have to work harder to do honest reporting. However, he said journalists have proven they still have the ability to report the truth if they go back to the basics.

“Even though political figures can often tell whoppers, it’s incontrovertible that there’s such a thing as the truth,” Shribman said. “It’s built on facts, one placed beside the other, in a fair-minded way.”

Shribman cited many case studies to demonstrate the importance of truth, including the Gulf of Tonkin incident which launched the United States into the Vietnam War and the false information about weapons of mass destruction that led America into the Iraq War. These events, he said, indicate how reporting and understanding the truth is important.

“We need to examine the conflicting views of the truth, acknowledging that some philos-

ophers argue that there’s no such thing as the truth,” Shribman said. “We need to consider the difference between facts and the truth, the possibility that you can assemble facts in a way that produce a result that is not the truth.”

The event then transitioned into a question-and-answer format, during which Shribman fielded topics from the audience.

Edward McCord, the director of the Dick Thornburgh Forum, asked how newspapers report objectively and truthfully about sensitive topics, using climate change as an example. He compared the situation of reporting on climate change to Bob Inglis, a Republican U.S. representative from South Carolina who lost his re-election bid after embracing the scientifically agreed-upon reality of climate change.

“Bob Inglis changed his position about the reality of global warming. As a consequence of that, he went from being a very popular representative to losing his election by a landslide,” McCord said. “How does one delicately report truthfully as a reporter when you’re dealing with subjects in which the truth you could speak affects the peril of your survival?”

Shribman said the discussion surrounding climate change has shifted over the past

March 20, 2019

decade, and that newspapers should report based on scientific consensus. He said this offers a guide for how newspapers report on delicate topics.

“I think it’s safe to say that there’s a broad scientific consensus now that climate change is real,” Shribman said. “A newspaper, or any kind of news outlet, that acts in denial of that is being unreasonable and ineffective.”

While few students attended the event, those who did gained knowledge about professions in journalism. Jason Earle, a junior communications and English writing major, said the event offered him insight into the role of journalism in broadcasting the truth to the public.

“It’s always interesting to get a perspective from someone like that, who is the pinnacle of print media,” Earle said. “In times like today, with President Trump, there’s obviously always plenty of interesting topics to be discussed.”

Shribman said it’s now the responsibility of journalists to continue to put the truth first, in spite of what elected officials say.

“What is left for us to show, as journalists, as historians, as scholars in the world, is that the truth still matters,” Shribman said.

STAND UP FOR SEX WORKERS: CANCEL THE HACKATHON Jason Henriquez

Staff Columnist Pitt’s first annual Hacking4Humanity event has become a source of controversy, with many people calling for the University to cancel it.

The event, hosted by Pitt Cyber, the University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information and the Ford Institute for Human Security, claims to focus on creating solutions to human trafficking with the stated goals of raising awareness, prosecuting perpetrators and supporting survivors.

Sex Workers Outreach Project Pittsburgh and the hundreds of people who have signed its petition against the hackathon doubt that it will help trafficking victims in the slightest and are calling for Pitt’s Innovation Institute to cancel the event.

“This event will target and endanger consensual sex workers, women victimized by sexual violence, migrants, and trafficked people around the world,” the local advocacy chapter said in the petition.

The hackathon organizers have not explicitly stated how the tech produced for the event will be used. When University spokesperson Joe Miksch was asked how the technology created for the event would be utilized to help trafficking victims, he said people will need to wait to see what is created.

The ambiguity of the supposed solutions is only further worrying activists.

SWOP Pittsburgh and the eight other organizations that have publicly endorsed its message understand the crucial flaw of this event: giving the state even more power for “prosecuting perpetrators,” as the hackathon Facebook page says, only harms the people it claims to protect.

Beth Schwanke, executive director of the event host Institute for Cyber Law, Policy and Security, said the hackathon does not aim to target consensual sex workers.

“We’re mindful of the unintended consequences

pittnews.com

Shruti Talekar | staff illustrator of technology and will encourage participants to be as well,” Schwanke said. “We have taken care in selecting mentors for the hackathon that will provide students with guidance on ethical development of technology.”

Schwanke is correct in that the hackathon does not explicitly mention sex workers in its promotions, but it is likely it will ultimately target them and others.

In an email interview, SWOP Pittsburgh organizer Jessie Sage cited a meta-study from Yale that shows up to 20 percent of sex workers report sexual harassment or assault by police officers. She emphasized that even trafficking victims suffer because of criminalization. “[A]nother recent study by the National Survivor Network reports that over 90 percent of sex trafficking victims have been arrested and/or deported.

To be clear, this isn’t a trade-off between doing good for sex trafficking victims at the expense of a few sex workers. Rather, these technologies that focus specifically on policing will negatively impact both sex workers and sex trafficking victims,” Sage said.

If the technologies created for the hackathon attempt to identify potential victims of trafficking so that law enforcement agencies can track them back to those running the operations, consensual

sex workers could potentially suffer increased surveillance and arrests. Marriott International trained 500,000 hotel workers as of January this year to look for signs of human trafficking in its hotels, and according to Paper magazine, it scared sex workers across the country, including escort Veronica Santos.

“Some things listed were not speaking English well, having sex toys, condoms and lube, asking for extra towels and sheets and not wanting housekeeping in your room,” Santos told the magazine.

Sex workers travelling alone should not have to live under such absolute control. The estimated 1 million people in the U.S. who rely on sex work need a clientele to make a living for themselves and their families. Targeting supposed traffickers may lead to the arrests of consensual sex workers’ clients and prevent sex workers from safely earning the money that they need to survive.

Prosecuting perpetrators has violent, unintended consequences. A good example is the FOSTA-SESTA package became federal law April 2018. It banned websites like Backpage that helped sex workers safely connect with clients. The workers predicted that sex trafficking would increase as a result of this legislation — they were right. Through

March 20, 2019

government prevention of online contact with clients, sex workers became vulnerable to violence, exploitation and trafficking at greater rates. Technologies that facilitate this can lead to unsafe conditions for consensual sex workers. Increased prosecution for sex workers inflicts suffering on them and their struggling families.

Policies and inventions that help law enforcement agencies target sex workers, their safety or their means of survival are a net loss for society. Increased policing using current methods won’t work to fix trafficking, and new technology that targets sex work, rather than human trafficking, has the potential to cause further damage.

The best way to combat sex trafficking is to decriminalize sex work. Enabling people to safely provide for themselves without fear of police interference prevents them from entering most risky situations. This has been proven on a smaller scale through online platforms like Backpage that helped protect sex workers before they were taken down.

They allowed sex workers to vet clients and act proactively.

SWOP Pittsburgh organizer Moriah Ella Mason is certain that nothing good will come from the hackathon.

“The hackathon is based upon a faulty premise,” Mason said. “We know from empirical research that policing and criminalization does not help sex trafficking victims. Encouraging students to develop tools for increased police surveillance harms victims and does a disservice to the students they are supposed to be educating.”

The University of Pittsburgh Innovation Institute should listen to the mounting pressure and do the right thing: cancel Hacking4Humanity. It’s time to listen to people who may suffer the inadvertent consequences of an otherwise well-intentioned idea — not dismiss them.

Streaming now: must-see foreign language films, TV

Benjamin Spock Staff Writer

This year we have made several different watchlists of great, enjoyable TV shows and movies. Considering this school year is the Year of Pitt Global, it only stands to reason that you should take some time to celebrate foreign-language media too. This list is by no means a comprehensive one, but it can serve as a starting point to explore more diverse global content.

“Cable Girls” // Spanish // Netflix // Created by Ramon Campos and Gema R. Neira // Rating: B+ One ridiculously early morning, I stumbled across this Spanish-language period drama on Netflix and watched the first episode, captivated.

Soon after, I forgot what it was called and at one point that it even existed. In the past year, however, it came across my Netflix recommended feed and surged back into my life.

“Cable Girls” is a 2017 Netflix original series that takes place in 1928 as a modern telecommunications company begins to operate in Madrid.

The series follows four young women — Lidia (Blanca Suarez), Carlota (Ana Fernandez), Angeles (Maggie Civantos) and Maria (Nadia de Santiago) — and the turns their lives take when they start working for this telecommunications company. The four of them feel attached in different ways to their families, their partners or their memories. The drama centers around the changes in their lives affecting these connections.

The main focus in the show is the hardships working women faced in the 1920s, and serves as great representation with its hard working female cast. If you’re into cool period dramas featuring capable female characters, “Cable Girls” is one you shouldn’t miss.

“Hero” // Chinese // Netflix // Directed by Zhang Yimou // Rating: A This movie was only recently recommended to me, but I’ve quickly come to admire it. The

Prince Yi-Chang (Ju Ji-hoon) during the medieval Joseon period as he becomes entrenched in a political conspiracy. He’s forced to investigate the spread of an undead plague that has affected the current emperor as well as the southern provinces. Accompanied by the physician Seo-Bi (Bae Doo-na), the enigmatic warrior Yeong-Shin (Kim Sung-gyu) and his personal guard MooYoung (Kim Sang-ho), Yi-Chang must stop the plague spreading toward his home capital of Hanyang while addressing the sinister coup orchestrated by Minister Cho Hak-ju (Ryu Seungryong) and his family aimed toward Yi-Chang’s displacement from the throne.

“Kingdom” is pleasantly different, as it’s more of a period political thriller that happens to feature zombie and horror elements. Consider giving “Kingdom” a try if you’re hankering for a zombie story that’s not just “The Walking Dead.”

“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” // Chinese // Netflix // Directed by Ang Lee // Rating: A+ What is more iconic as a martial arts film than “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”? It’s won more than 40 awards and was nominated for 10 Academy Awards in 2001, including Best Picture. I had seen bits and pieces of it growing up, but I got the chance to watch it in full early on in my college career and it is cool. It’s easy to see how this film inspired future martial arts films with its direction, cinematography and fighting sequences.

“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” is a 2000 film based on the novel by Wang Dulu. It’s set in the 18th century during the Qing Dynasty in China. The story follows close friends Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun-fat), a Wudang swordsman, and Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh) who heads a private security company. Mu Bai entrusts Shu Lien with his sword, Green Destiny, to deliver for safekeeping. But it’s stolen in the night by a masked thief, and the two must go on the chase to recover the sword.

OHIO SPOILS PITT SOFTBALL HOME OPENER, 11-9 Stephen Thompson Staff Writer

Pitt softball opened its home schedule against the Ohio Bobcats Tuesday afternoon, playing a thrilling back-and-forth affair that took almost four hours to complete and ended with the Panthers falling 11-9 in 10 innings.

This was no ordinary non-conference game for the Panthers — its importance was amplified by the fact that head coach Jodi Hermanek led the opposing Bobcats from 2009 to 2018 before taking over Pitt’s program this summer. Despite moving on, Hermanek still recalled fond memories from her time in Athens, Ohio.

“I built some amazing relationships with the administration, everyone there is just family,” Hermanek said before the game. “They were super supportive, we had a lot of niches of personal and professional relationships there that were created over a long span of time.”

In Hermanek’s first game coaching against her former team, things looked bleak for the Panthers in the early going.

First-year pitcher Abby Edwards started on the mound, looking to follow up a strong outing against Duke over the weekend. Edwards surrendered back-to-back home runs to sophomore infielder Katie Yun — her first of three on the afternoon — and senior catcher Natalie Alvarez. The Panthers were down 2-0 before they could even pick up the bats.

Opposite Edwards, sophomore pitcher Madi McCrady started on the mound for the Bobcats and was lights out through 5.2 innings. She allowed only two runs and struck out five Panthers before sophomore outfielder Hunter Levesque launched a two-run bomb, her second of the game and seventh of the year, off the back of the Ambrose Urbanic Field bleachers in left-

and set up a chance for revenge over NC State redshirt sophomore Hayden Hidlay (20-2), who beat Rahmani twice this season, in the second round.

Bonaccorsi (19-6) picked up the No. 13 seed in the 184-pound competition, where he’ll challenge No. 20 seed Utah Valley senior Will Sumner. Rematches are common, and this bout is no different — Bonaccorsi handily defeated Sumner via 17-4 major decision last season. Ample time has passed between then and now, but Bonaccorsi will hope to duplicate that result to advance in his first NCAA Championships.

Stout (12-8), also making his tournament debut, will be Pitt’s lone underdog in the first round, serving as the 197-pound No. 23 seed

Pitt’s other ACC champion, heavyweight Demetrius Thomas (26-4), drew the No. 8 seed in the 285-pound division. Usually wrestling in the final bout of each match, Thomas was clutch for the Pancenter field to give Pitt its first and only thers all season long, including victory-sealing performances against NC State and Duke. This will be lead of the game at 4-3.

The game moved quickly through the Thomas’ first time at the NCAA tournament, but middle innings.

The seventh inning, however, foreshadowed the marathon that still awaited. With Pitt holding a one-run lead and Knight still on the mound looking to close out consecutive wins for the first time this season, the Bobcats rallied.

Yun hit her third home run of the afternoon and 11th of the season, a two-run shot off the scoreboard, to give Ohio the leapfrog lead at 5-4. The Bobcats continued their streak scoring four more to stretch their lead to five before the Panthers could gather three outs.

Pitt would not go quietly, however.

McCrady took the mound again for her seventh inning of work, seeking to polish off a complete-game win, but junior infielder Alexee Haynes had other ideas.
