  • Cnn International: Why We Need It
    CNN INTERNATIONAL: WHY WE NEED IT After the sweat and grime of a day in Cairo, nothing feels better than a good shower in a fine hotel and the comforting presence of CNN International on the television screen. The business traveler in Johannesburg, and the vacationer in Jakarta, both share the ability to bring the world into their hotel rooms via Ted Turner’s least appreciated and most significant television achievement. CNN International may be the most important television network in the world. That is because it is the only network that tries to cover the world. All of it . Michael Jordan’s heroics on the basketball court are combined with Dortmond’s success on the soccer field, as well as the exploits of the Indian Rugby team. This is a network that tries to put the planet in perspective. The United States is seen as a part, not the whole. The relationship of world trade and commerce is presented in a clear, meaningful manner. It isn’t just Wall Street that one hears about, all of the world’s key markets are treated, almost equally, by CNN anchors based in Europe. The CNN Asian Business Report is worth the price of admission. I have, during my travels, become a fan of this network, wishing that it were available in the States. How valuable, I’ve often thought, it would be if our high school geography and government instructors could have students tuned in at home to the world is an unbiased way. How wonderful to know that the weather report will include draught in portions of sub-Sahara Africa, as though that portion of the world, and the people who inhabit it, actually matter.

Burke 1 Women Representation on CNN and Fox News Ryan Burke April 1st, 2018 PLS 4600 Research question: What difference does a political bias matter when analyzing how CNN and Fox News portray women’s issues, the number of women guests on their shows, and how much airtime women receive. Hypothesis: My hypothesis is that both networks will have relatively low coverage on women’s issues and guests on the show will be predominately male, but I do hypothesize that CNN will have a higher yield of women as guests on the show. Burke 2 Introduction: Politics is often associated as a bad word. “Playing Politics” is stigmatized as playing dirty and cheap and in association with being corrupt. In 2018, politics have been so sharply polarized and rhetoric from both sides of the aisle have been divisive to energize their bases.

  • The Morality and Political Antagonisms of Neoliberal Discourse: Campbell Brown and the Corporatization of Educational Justice
    International Journal of Communication 11(2017), 3030–3050 1932–8036/20170005 The Morality and Political Antagonisms of Neoliberal Discourse: Campbell Brown and the Corporatization of Educational Justice LEON A. SALTER1 SEAN PHELAN Massey University, New Zealand Neoliberalism is routinely criticized for its moral indifference, especially concerning the social application of moral objectives. Yet it also presupposes a particular moral code, where acting on the assumption of individual autonomy becomes the basis of a shared moral-political praxis. Using a discourse theoretical approach, this article explores different articulations of morality in neoliberal discourse. We focus on the case of Campbell Brown, the former CNN anchor who reinvented herself from 2012 to 2016 as a prominent charter school advocate and antagonist of teachers unions. We examine the ideological significance of a campaigning strategy that coheres around an image of the moral superiority of corporatized schooling against an antithetical representation of the moral degeneracy of America’s public schools system. In particular, we highlight how Brown attempts to incorporate the fragments of different progressive discourses into a neoliberalized vision of educational justice. Keywords: neoliberalism, discourse, media, public education, charter schools, unions Neoliberalism is routinely criticized for its moral indifference, especially concerning the social application of moral objectives. Davies (2014) suggests that “neoliberalism has sought to eliminate normative judgment from public life to the greatest possible extent” (p. 8) by subordinating ethical concerns to putatively objective market measures. Hay (2007) ties neoliberalism to discourses that disparage the notion of the common good, because of the axiomatic rational choice assumption that the pursuit of self- interest is the only meaningful diagnostic of human action.

He was developing as a journalist, some- thing he credits to good mentorship. Among his mentors was CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, whom Evans respect- fully dubs one of the “drill sergeants in my journalist’s boot camp.” In 2006, Evans moved to Baghdad to cov- er the war in Iraq as a field producer. He spent the next five years living in the city—as opposed to the Green Zone, the center of the city’s international presence—and working with correspondent Michael Ware and doz- ens of Iraqis. He was regularly embedded with coalition forces. “You have to be will- ing to take professional risks and leave your comfort zone,” he says. “I think my career has benefited greatly from this mentality.” Today Evans is vice president and the London bureau chief at CNN Internation- al, which broadcasts news abroad while also supplying international content for CNN’s domestic outlets.

Michigan State University has a legacy of being a dynamic, collaborative academic environment that prospective students and faculty are eager to join. We know that this distinctive environment is poised to generate a significant number of scientific breakthroughs as well as help students find their life’s work. It’s an environment where students, scholars, faculty, and researchers, through immeasurable creativity, discovery, and learning, will make seemingly impossible ideas possible and turn dreams into realities. Through the Empower Extraordinary campaign Michigan State University seeks to establish 100 new endowed chairs and fund important academic programs in order to retain and attract great thinkers and mentors. 1 The MSU INVESTITURE The Michigan State University investiture of 2016 celebrates MSU’s commitment to academic excellence and innovation by bestowing faculty recognition at the university level to those who hold endowed chair and professor positions. Today’s honorees, along with the entire faculty present at this inaugural event, are teachers and researchers whose work helps MSU to continue raising the bar on what we can achieve.

This paper concentrates on the micro production processes of today s correspondent as he or she goes about thejob ofnews gathering "on the road", and considers the changing na­ ture ofthe correspondent s autonomy. It inserts the missing character in foreign newsgathering - the locally hired fixer - and explores how this person affects the correspondents autonomy. An analysis of interviews with 20 foreign correspondents and five fixers leads to the conclusion that the foreign correspondent is rarely the sole editorial figure on the road but is instead the main actor representing the creative interplay of a succession offixers or "local producers". This deconstruction of the ways in which a correspondent builds an ad-hoc newsgathering team each time he or she lands in a new place allows for a deeper under­ standing ofthe modus operandi ofreporters. Introduction When it comes to sharing the credit, I think that it is one of the high crimes in journalism, for western and non-western producers and fixers and translators to not share the credit. Because obviously with foreign correspondency and also with television, it is team work, it is not a single individual.
