2 pages., Online from publisher., During a global coronavirus pandemic, IFAJ President Owen Roberts emphasizes the vital importance of journalists in helping people be informed and safe. "The world will change hugely in the next 365 days as we grapple with the pandemic... But two things won't change: these are farmers' need to feed the world and journalists' role in helping them do so. Through our global network for agricultural journalism, we can make a difference in how effective this all works out."

Agricultural Publishers Association Records, Series No. 8/3/80, Box 14, Special Bulletin No. 14. 2 pages., APA Executive Secretary responds to a Bloomington (Illinois) Pantagraph article citing 90 percent newspaper circulation among Illinois farmers and emphasizing newspapers as sources of farm-related information.
An accompanying paper of the same title represents an earlier version of the journal article, including the Figure 1 and Reference list not included in the html version of the journal article., Via online., Information technology has developed rapidly, particularly in the area of social media. Almost all groups in society now use social media in their day to day activities, and one group that has been greatly impacted is young farmers. Before this era, farmers had difficulty accessing information. This study aims to find out what benefits are obtained and obstacles encountered by the use of social media in farming activities by the young farmers. This paper is descriptive explorative by using a qualitative approach. The data collection technique itself uses in-depth interviews, observations, literature studies, and documentation. The research location was in Bulukerto Village, Bumiaji Sub-District, Batu City which was carried out from November to December, 2017. The informants were chosen because they already used new media to support their farming activities. The result is the use of social media in the agricultural sector is widely used by young farmers in order to increase revenue and to seek information. Even so, there are still a number of problems faced by young farmers when utilizing social media, namely those interested in buying and selling online for agricultural products are not as high as other products and about the trust. The advice that can be given is farmers must post photos of products on Instagram with good pictures and caption. They also can tag others to reshare and spread the product information.

Report based on a nationwide survey to learn about sources of photographs,uses of photographs, who takes photographs, usefulness of photo training for extension agents and specialists, staffing, filing systems. "As nearly as could be determined, four states (Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, Colorado) employ what might be termed staff photographers in the sense that they seemed to be at the command of the editor, and not just college or university photographers working occasionally for the editor."
