Edy A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by: Jean Folkerts W. Fitzhugh Brundage Jacquelyn Dowd Hall Frank E. Fee, Jr. Barbara Friedman ©2012 Carolyn Martindale Edy ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract CAROLYN M. EDY: Conditions of Acceptance: The United States Military, the Press, and the “Woman War Correspondent,” 1846-1945 (Under the direction of Jean Folkerts) This dissertation chronicles the history of American women who worked as war correspondents through the end of World War II, demonstrating the ways the military, the press, and women themselves constructed categories for war reporting that promoted and prevented women’s access to war: the “war correspondent,” who covered war-related news, and the “woman war correspondent,” who covered the woman’s angle of war. As the first study to examine these concepts, from their emergence in the press through their use in military directives, this dissertation relies upon a variety of sources to consider the roles and influences, not only of the women who worked as war correspondents but of the individuals and institutions surrounding their work. Nineteenth and early 20th century newspapers continually featured the woman war correspondent—often as the first or only of her kind, even as they wrote about more than sixty such women by 1914.

    Gazette Project Interview with Anne Farris, Chevy Chase, Maryland 22 June 2000 21 July 2000 Interviewer: Don Troop Don Troop: Anne, if you’d like to go ahead and tell me about your first day. Anne Farris: Right . DT: . at the Arkansas Gazette. AF: Well, I moved to Little Rock originally with my late husband, who had a job there. I was a bit leery about going to Little Rock, because I had never lived in a city that small, although I was familiar with the South and had grown up in the South. My father is a journalist, so I’d always heard about what a great paper the Arkansas Gazette was, that it was called the Old Gray Lady of the South and the New York Times of the South. And I knew that it was also a city that had two competing, morning, daily newspapers, which was becoming rarer and rarer in the country. So I consented to move to Little Rock based mainly on my ability to be able work at the Arkansas Gazette. At the time, I was working for the Kansas City Star covering the Missouri Legislature. I had been working at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for three years just prior to that. So I was confident that I’d be able to go to Little Rock and get a job. [Laughs] I didn’t think about the possibility that I wouldn’t, given my previous background. And let me digress here for just a 1 minute. It’s part of the story.

  • Reuters Handbook of Journalism Standards and Values
    Reuters Handbook of Journalism Everything we do as Reuters journalists has to be independent, free from bias and executed with the utmost integrity. These are our core values and stem from THE Reuters Trust Principles. As a real-time, competitive news service whose reputation rests on reliability, we also value accuracy, speed and exclusivity. The way in which we, as Reuters employees, live these values is governed by the Reuters Code of Conduct. That code, with a few notable exceptions that apply specifically to journalists, governs the behaviour of all Reuters employees and is essential reading. As journalists, however, we have additional responsibilities if we are to fulfil the highest aspirations of our profession - to search for and report the truth, fairly, honestly and unfailingly. This handbook is not intended as a collection of "rules". Beyond the obvious, such as the cardinal sin of plagiarism, the dishonesty of fabrication or the immorality of bribe-taking, journalism is a profession that has to be governed by ethical guiding principles rather than by rigid rules. The former liberate, and lead to better journalism. The latter constrain, and restrict our ability to operate. What follows is an attempt to map out those principles, as guidance to taking decisions and adopting behaviours that are in the best interests of Reuters, our shareholders, our customers, our contacts, our readers and our profession. The handbook, now in its second online edition and fully revised, is the work of no one individual. Dozens of journalists from text, television, pictures and from domestic as well as international services, have worked to bring it up to date.

  • ORAL HISTORY INTERVIEW with NANCY MARCH Interviewed By
    ORAL HISTORY INTERVIEW WITH NANCY MARCH Interviewed by Ford Risley Conducted under the auspices of the Pennsylvania Newspaper Journalists Oral History Program Department of Journalism Penn State University 2020 Nancy March Oral History Interview Risley: Okay, it’s September 24, 2020. We’re here at Penn State and interviewing Nancy March for the Pennsylvania Newspaper Journalists Oral History Program. Thanks for doing this. Let’s start at the beginning. Tell me when and where you were born and about your family. March: I was born in Berks County, Pennsylvania, in the Boyertown area. My family lived on land that was part of the farm that my father grew up on. My dad bought the land from his parents and built a house on five acres on a beautiful corner overlooking a creek. My parents were both poor growing up, and neither went past the eighth grade in education. My dad grew up as one of twelve children in a poor farming family, the Egolfs, and then worked for 40 years in a Pottstown factory, Doehler-Jarvis. My mom worked in the local elementary school cafeteria. Although my parents never had the opportunity for higher education, they insisted that my brothers and I have college educations. They worked very hard and instilled that in us. My dad had an influence on my introduction to journalism at a young age, but not in the way you might think. He was the local school board president in our township, and there was a controversial decision involving his board that became the subject of an editorial crusade by the editor of the Mercury.
