    The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy

    Mount Rushmore: The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy Brian Asher Rosenwald Wynnewood, PA Master of Arts, University of Virginia, 2009 Bachelor of Arts, University of Pennsylvania, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia August, 2015 !1 © Copyright 2015 by Brian Asher Rosenwald All Rights Reserved August 2015 !2 Acknowledgements I am deeply indebted to the many people without whom this project would not have been possible. First, a huge thank you to the more than two hundred and twenty five people from the radio and political worlds who graciously took time from their busy schedules to answer my questions. Some of them put up with repeated follow ups and nagging emails as I tried to develop an understanding of the business and its political implications. They allowed me to keep most things on the record, and provided me with an understanding that simply would not have been possible without their participation. When I began this project, I never imagined that I would interview anywhere near this many people, but now, almost five years later, I cannot imagine the project without the information gleaned from these invaluable interviews. I have been fortunate enough to receive fellowships from the Fox Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania and the Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia, which made it far easier to complete this dissertation. I am grateful to be a part of the Fox family, both because of the great work that the program does, but also because of the terrific people who work at Fox.

    2014 Annual Report

    State of Illinois Illinois Emergency Management Agency Illinois Terrorism Task Force 2014 Annual Report Submitted to the Office of the Governor March 1, 2015 1 March 1, 2015 The Honorable Bruce Rauner Governor State of Illinois Dear Governor Rauner, In 1999, following the receipt of federal Nunn-Lugar-Domenici weapons of mass destruction preparedness funding, a group of eight state and local public safety leaders, representing emergency management, fire, emergency medical services, law enforcement, public works, public health, and volunteer organizations, met in Springfield to discuss how first responders could integrate their activities to protect the health and safety of Illinois’ citizens from acts of terrorism. This was a monumental accomplishment for those in the public safety community because nationally these disciplines don’t normally achieve full integration of preparedness efforts prior to an emergency or disaster. The outcome of this multi-discipline, multi-jurisdictional alliance was the development of a shared vision for preparedness that would soon serve as a national best practice for public safety collaboration and coordination. Little did they know the establishment of this collaborative effort would produce a disaster response infrastructure within the state of Illinois that has been successfully utilized countless times by the Illinois public safety community, saving lives and protecting property for more than 15 years. Since 1999, the Illinois Terrorism Task Force has grown to over 60 organizations, representing all state and local public safety disciplines, public health and medical, the city of Chicago and all municipalities with a population over 100,000, the private sector, schools and campuses, volunteer agencies, and elected officials.
