    THESIS DOING IT ALONE: DO VIDEO JOURNALISTS AFFECT THE QUALITY AND CREDIBILITY OF TELEVISION NEWS? Submitted by Dan Messineo Department of Journalism and Technical Communication In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Science Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2015 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Joe Champ Greg Luft Kathleen Kelly Copyright by Dan Messineo 2015 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT DOING IT ALONE: DO VIDEO JOURNALISTS AFFECT THE QUALITY AND CREDIBILITY OF TELEVISION NEWS? The recent financial pressures on local TV news stations have forced many owners and managers to cover the day’s events with fewer employees. Many station owners have turned to video journalists to cut newsroom costs. The video journalist, also called “backpack journalist,” does it all. These intrepid reporters conduct interviews; write scripts, shoot and edit their video. With so many stations turning to video journalism, this research explores how and to what extent video journalists affect the quality and credibility of TV news. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT.................................................................................................................................... ii THE MORNING SHOW BEGINS IN 30 MINUTES ................................................................... 1 THE MORNING SHOW BEGINS IN 15 MINUTES ................................................................... 3 THE MORNING SHOW BEGINS ...............................................................................................

  • Andy Rooney Risked His Life to Report Some Of
    Andy Rooney risked his life to report some of the most dramatic events of World War II, but he only became famous decades later for joking about the quirks of everyday life. Andrew Aitken Rooney was born in Albany on January 14, 1919. While he attended the Albany Academy Andy worked as a newspaper copy boy, delivering stories from reporters’ typewriters to the editors’ desks. He dreamed of being a football star when he enrolled at Colgate University. Once he recognized his limits as an athlete, Rooney grew more interested in creative writing and journalism. His career plans were interrupted when he was drafted into the military in May 1941. After basic training in Fort Bragg, North Photo courtesy of the Times Union, Carolina, Rooney was assigned to the 17th Field Albany, NY Artillery Regiment. When the U.S. entered World War II, the 17th was stationed in Great Britain. Rooney wrote a weekly newsletter for the regiment before he was transferred to the main military newspaper, Stars and Stripes. He became part of the “Writing 69th,” a group of war correspondents who ew on Air Force bombing missions over Germany. Some of his colleagues died with their crews. He co-authored Air Gunner, an account of these dangerous missions, in 1944. Later, Rooney was one of the rst U.S. war correspondents to see evidence of the Holocaust in captured Nazi concentration camps. After the war ended, Rooney didn’t become a full-time journalist. He joined the CBS radio and television network in 1949 as a writer for Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scouts, an entertainment program.

Within the athletic department’s mission is a philosophy that while athletics is not the most important function on campus, it is important to the University’s mission, and therefore is an important part of the University community.

    The Glory Years 1981 The Huskers moved into the West Stadium Strength Complex located under the West stands. Nebraska merged the North weight room located in Schulte Field House with the Circuit room from the South Stadium into the West Stadium Strength Complex. At 13,300 sq. ft., it was the largest weight room in the country at the time with the closest being Oklahoma and Indiana with 6500 sq. ft. each. Bob Devaney said, “As long as I’m the Athletic Director we will continue to provide the best opportunity for our student-athletes to develop themselves physically. It has cost us a great deal of money but I feel it has been very worthwhile for our athletic programs.” The space was completed at a cost of $206,000 not counting new equipment.
