  • Black Women in Primetime Soap Opera: Examining Representation Within Genre Television
    Black Women in Primetime Soap Opera: Examining Representation within Genre Television by Courtney Suggs A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Media Studies Middle Tennessee State University December 2019 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Katie Foss, Chair Dr. Sanjay Asthana Dr. Sally Ann Cruikshank ABSTRACT Using textual genre analysis, this research studied representation in primetime soap operas Scandal, How To Get Away with Murder, and Empire. Two hundred and eighty- three episodes were viewed to understand how black female identity is represented in primetime soap and how genre influences those representation. Using Collins (2009) theory of controlling images, this study found that black female protagonists were depicted as jezebels and matriarchs. The welfare mother stereotype was updated by portrayals of black woman as hard working. Soap opera conventions such as heavy talk helped provide context to stereotypical portrayals while conventions such as melodrama lead to reactive characterization. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION……………………………………………….….....1 Background……………………………………………………...………........3 CHAPTER II: LITERATURE REVIEW.....................................................................9 Black Women in Scripted Television…...........................................................9 Television Effects on Viewers……………………………………………....14 CHAPTER III: THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK………………………………....18 Representation Theory……………………………………………………...18 Genre Theory……………………………………………………………….19

So I had best make one thing clear. I am going to recount events differently than you may remember them. I will reach into the stream of memory and pull out this or that pebble that has been cast there by my fate. The pebbles when cast may have had jagged edges, now worn away by the stream. So I tell it as memory permits, and maybe not entirely as it was. This could be called lying, but more charitably it is simply what life gives to each of us as our memories of events are shaped in ways that give us smiles and help us to go on. I do not have transcripts of all the cases in the book, so I recall them as well as I can.

  • 2011 State of the News Media Report
    Overview By Tom Rosenstiel and Amy Mitchell of the Project for Excellence in Journalism By several measures, the state of the American news media improved in 2010. After two dreadful years, most sectors of the industry saw revenue begin to recover. With some notable exceptions, cutbacks in newsrooms eased. And while still more talk than action, some experiments with new revenue models began to show signs of blossoming. Among the major sectors, only newspapers suffered continued revenue declines last year—an unmistakable sign that the structural economic problems facing newspapers are more severe than those of other media. When the final tallies are in, we estimate 1,000 to 1,500 more newsroom jobs will have been lost—meaning newspaper newsrooms are 30% smaller than in 2000. Beneath all this, however, a more fundamental challenge to journalism became clearer in the last year. The biggest issue ahead may not be lack of audience or even lack of new revenue experiments. It may be that in the digital realm the news industry is no longer in control of its own future. News organizations — old and new — still produce most of the content audiences consume. But each technological advance has added a new layer of complexity—and a new set of players—in connecting that content to consumers and advertisers. In the digital space, the organizations that produce the news increasingly rely on independent networks to sell their ads. They depend on aggregators (such as Google) and social networks (such as Facebook) to bring them a substantial portion of their audience. And now, as news consumption becomes more mobile, news companies must follow the rules of device makers (such as Apple) and software developers (Google again) to deliver their content.

  • Rethink's Radio Book
    THE RADIO BOOK ReThink Media’s guide to the public affairs programs you need to know 2016 Edition The Radio Book ReThink Media’s guide to the public affairs programs you need to know 2016 - First Edition The research for this book was undertaken by ReThink Media staff, fellows, and interns between 2013 and 2015. Although we made every effort to speak directly with a producer of each show we list, we were not always successful. The “Features” tags included with many entries are complete to the best of our abilities—but some shows lack them when we could not be sure of a feature. Similarly, pitching intel is available for shows with which we were able to make contact. We would like to acknowledge Alyssa Goard, Katherine O’Brien, Daniel Steiner, and Lisa Bergstrom, who each had a big hand in bringing this project to completion. Thank you so much for all your hard work! Designed and formatted by ReThink Media. Printed by Autumn Press in Berkeley, CA. Soundwave front cover image designed by Freepik.

  • Mystery Tour - $26.00 Boarding: 9:30 A.M
    Page 1 Kings Point Bus Trips Vesta partners with Glory Tours, a third party vendor, for all of our coach trips. Glory Tours has been working with Vesta in offering day/overnight trips for 5 years as a part of the Kings Point coach trip operation. After analyzing extensive historical data and numerous variables while planning the upcoming bus book, Glory Tours is implementing the following new processes: For all RESTAURANT ONLY tours, Glory Tours will no longer have a tour guide specialist onboard. The goal is to keep these trips affordable by eliminating the expense of a tour guide for these simple outings. Some tours will now have a 40 person signup minimum vs a 35 person signup mini- mum to also help bring down the cost. Please note: Glory Tours has high standards for the bus companies they partner with to ensure they provide the most reliable, safe and comfortable transportation services. Sometimes that level of performance means slightly higher fees than residents are used to, but we feel the new processes and higher minimum for some tours will offset the slight increase in cost. For any trips at risk of being cancelled for not meeting the minimum sign up requirement, but are close, Glory Tours will survey each person on the signup sheet to see if participants are willing to pay approximately $2-$5 more per person to keep the trip from cancelling. This is necessary to cover the cost of the trip with less riders. In addition, Glory Tours will also utilize a smaller shuttle bus for trips when it is feasible, and when we have enough residents signed up to also help avoid cancellation of a trip.

  • Robert Krulwich's Topic
    the transom review November, 2002 Vol. 2/Issue 9 Edited by Sydney Lewis Robert Krulwich’s Topic About Robert Krulwich Robert Krulwich is a network correspondent for ABC News, appearing regularly on Nightline. He also reports for ABC World News Tonight, Prime Time Live and Good Morning America. His specialty is explaining complex news -- economics, technology, science -- in a style that is clear, compelling and entertaining. With Ted Koppel, he co-hosted the eight-part prime time series, Brave New World, which probed the "eight biggest questions facing human kind." With Peter Jennings, he produced an animated history of Bosnia for a children's special. With Barbara Walters, he explored possible cures for cancer and reported on the AIDS epidemic. Krulwich has been called "the most inventive network reporter in television" by TV Guide, "the man who makes the dismal science swing," by the Washington Journalism Review, and "the man who simplifies without being simple," by New York magazine. He is a correspondent on the PBS investigative series, Frontline, where he won a Dupont Award for his coverage of campaign finance in the 1992 presidential campaign, a national Emmy for his investigation of privacy on the Internet, and a George Polk Award for an investigation on the savings and loan scandal. Krulwich formerly anchored a cultural affairs series on PBS (and a simultaneous series on the BBC) called The Edge. GQ called the series "cocky, fearless, and brazenly sophisticated." He has also hosted Live at Lincoln Center and appeared on Jay Leno's premier Tonight Show broadcast. Before joining ABC in 1994, Krulwich appeared regularly on CBS This Morning, 48 Hours and CBS' Nightwatch with Charlie Rose.

  • Chapter 1 Intro (Revised)
    A Theory of Media Politics How the Interests of Politicians, Journalists, and Citizens Shape the News By John Zaller Draft October 24, 1999 Revised, June 2004 September, 2017 Under contract to University of Chicago Press An earlier version of the book was given as the inaugural Miller-Converse Lecture, University of Michigan, April 14, 1997. Versions have also been given at the Annenberg School for Communication at Penn and at the University of British Columbia, and at seminars at UCLA, UCLA School of Law, UC Riverside, Harvard, Princeton, UCLA Program in Communication Studies, and Chicago. What audiences at these places have liked and disliked has been immensely valuable to me in developing my argument, though perhaps not always in the ways they might have expected. I am also grateful to Michael Alvarez, Kathy Bawn, Bill Bianco, Lara Brown, Jim DeNardo, John Geer, Shanto Iyengar, Taeku Lee, Dan Lowenstein, Jonathan Nagel, John Petrocik,Tom Schwartz, Jim Sidanius, Warren Miller, and especially to Larry Bartels, Barbara Geddes, and George Tsebelis for helpful comments on earlier drafts. Chapter 1 The New Game in Town A few years after he left office in 1969, President Lyndon Johnson was asked by a TV news producer what had changed in American politics since the 1930s when he came to Washington as a young Texan. "You guys," [Johnson replied], without even reflecting. "All you guys in the media. All of politics has changed because of you. You've broken all the [party] machines and the ties between us in the Congress and the city machines. You've given us a new kind of people." A certain disdain passed over his face.
