BAD PRESS screening during the Newspaper Convention on March 23 at noon

We are excited to announce the screening of BAD PRESS, a timely and unprecedented story about the battle for freedom of the press and against state-censored media that just had its world premiere at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival.

The documentary will be screened starting at noon on March 23, during the New England Newspaper Convention. Registration is open now for the convention, which allows access to all the educational sessions on March 22 and March 23. Use the links below to navigate to the information about the event.

BAD PRESS is an enthralling, edge-of-your-seat nail biter that unfurls with the energy and suspense of a political thriller. Imagine you lived in a world where your only reliable news source became government propaganda overnight. That’s exactly what happened to the citizens of the Muscogee Nation, the fourth largest Native American tribe, in 2018.

Out of 574 federally-recognized tribes, the Muscogee Nation was one of only five to establish a free and independent press – until the tribe’s legislative branch abruptly repealed the landmark Free Press Act in advance of an election. The tribe’s hard-hitting news outlet, Mvskoke Media, would now be subject to direct editorial oversight by the tribal government.

One defiant journalist refuses to accept this flagrant act of oppression. As brave as she is blunt, veracious muckraker Angel Ellis charges headfirst into battle against the corrupt faction of the Muscogee National Council. Angel and her allies rally for press freedoms by inciting a voter-supported constitutional amendment, just in time for the start of a new election cycle.

Western New England Psychoanalytic Institute Receives Transformative $5 Million Gift

Adults and children struggling with mental health issues will benefit from more trained psychoanalysts and sliding scale fee treatment.

New Haven, CT – The Western New England Institute for Psychoanalysis (WNEIP) announces the largest gift in its 72-year history: $5 million received on December 31, 2023. The contribution is held in the newly created WNEIP Clarity Endowment Fund, which is currently situated at the Greater New Haven Community Foundation. A maximum of 5% can be withdrawn from the fund each year.

This unique donation reflects the essence of psychoanalysis itself, embracing the complexity of the human psyche and the power of the unconscious mind.

Per the donor agreement, the WNEIP Clarity Endowment Fund will focus on:

1. Scholarships and fellowships for training the next generation of psychoanalysts
2. Making psychoanalytic treatment more accessible

Marshal Mandelkern, MD, PhD, President of the WNEIP Board of Trustees, remarks that: “Adults, adolescents and children in Greater New Haven and beyond who are struggling with anxiety, depression or relationship issues at home, work or school, will be the beneficiaries of this transformative gift. The Board of Trustees cannot thank our anonymous donor enough for the extraordinary generosity and belief in the value of psychoanalytic treatment.”

The gift ushers in a new era of possibilities and reaffirms WNEIP’s unwavering commitment to advancing psychoanalytic education and treatment accessibility for future generations.

The impact of this donation extends far beyond monetary value, touching the lives of countless individuals who will benefit from the enhanced education and treatment options it enables. It speaks to the enduring power of psychoanalysis to illuminate the human condition.
