  • Journalism 375/Communication 372 the Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture
    JOURNALISM 375/COMMUNICATION 372 THE IMAGE OF THE JOURNALIST IN POPULAR CULTURE Journalism 375/Communication 372 Four Units – Tuesday-Thursday – 3:30 to 6 p.m. THH 301 – 47080R – Fall, 2000 JOUR 375/COMM 372 SYLLABUS – 2-2-2 © Joe Saltzman, 2000 JOURNALISM 375/COMMUNICATION 372 SYLLABUS THE IMAGE OF THE JOURNALIST IN POPULAR CULTURE Fall, 2000 – Tuesday-Thursday – 3:30 to 6 p.m. – THH 301 When did the men and women working for this nation’s media turn from good guys to bad guys in the eyes of the American public? When did the rascals of “The Front Page” turn into the scoundrels of “Absence of Malice”? Why did reporters stop being heroes played by Clark Gable, Bette Davis and Cary Grant and become bit actors playing rogues dogging at the heels of Bruce Willis and Goldie Hawn? It all happened in the dark as people watched movies and sat at home listening to radio and watching television. “The Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture” explores the continuing, evolving relationship between the American people and their media. It investigates the conflicting images of reporters in movies and television and demonstrates, decade by decade, their impact on the American public’s perception of newsgatherers in the 20th century. The class shows how it happened first on the big screen, then on the small screens in homes across the country. The class investigates the image of the cinematic newsgatherer from silent films to the 1990s, from Hildy Johnson of “The Front Page” and Charles Foster Kane of “Citizen Kane” to Jane Craig in “Broadcast News.” The reporter as the perfect movie hero.

"Who Killed The Big News?' is as great read for anyone interested in broadcast journalismBy Robert S. TarlauPete Noyes tells stories of local TV news in Los Angeles like no one else. He's seen and experienced it all - starting with the legendary "Big News," a broadcast that was ahead of its time in every way. I personally enjoyed the back-stories Pete tells of some of the folks I came to know from the "Big News" period, who were still at Channel 2 when I came to work there in 1977 (after KNXT's glory years had passed). Whether a broadcast news student or a retired veteran of our business, "Who Killed The Big News?" brings a lot to learn for everyone interested in journalism. If you'd like to know more about the major crime and political stories Pete covered over the years, be sure to also read his "The Real L.A.

  • Homer Simpson, on His Role As Internet Journalist Mr. X
    The Scoop on The Simpsons: Journalism in U.S. Television’s Longest Running Prime-Time Animated Series By Stephanie Woo “I changed the world. Now I know exactly how God feels.”1 – Homer Simpson, on his role as Internet journalist Mr. X Although the journalists of The Simpsons are far from godly, news in The Simpsons is vital, if for no reason other than its ability to provide exposition and advance a plot quickly. A week of Homer Simpson’s public service is documented with daily headlines as he gets speed bumps and safety signs installed.2 Power-plant owner Montgomery Burns’ rise and fall in a gubernatorial campaign occur through headlines reading: “Burns Skyrockets to Seven Percent in Latest Polls,” “Burns Nukes Bailey in Latest Poll,” “Forty-Two Percent and Climbing,” and, in the end, a broadcast story announcing: “The latest polls indicate Burns’ popularity has plummeted to Earth like so much half-chewed fish.”3 But media in The Simpsons are more than a plot device. They are the representation of journalistic quality, integrity, and influence. The news industry on The Simpsons faces the same dilemmas as outlets such as CBS News and The New York Times – maligned public images, a dearth of audience trust, and the chore of maintaining both credibility and entertainment value. When an anonymous Internet watchdog gains popularity in town, news anchor Kent Brockman tells his television audience: “We must never forget that the real news is on local TV, delivered by real, officially licensed newsmen like me, Kent Brockman.” But the news up next on Brockman’s show is an expose about a beer commercial’s talking dogs, presented by a newsman called Cowboy Steve.4 Stephanie Woo 2 A Show with a Message Simpsons creator Matt Groening has never been a news anchor, but he has been a journalist.

  • Televising Watts Joe Saltzman's Black on Black
    10 Televising Watts Joe Saltzman’s Black on Black (1968) on KNXT JOSHUA GLICK Joe Saltzman’s Black on Black challenged staid conventions of broadcast journalism and ste reo typical repre sen ta tions of Watts when it premiered on Los Angeles station knxt on July 18, 1968. Shot in the thick of urban up- risings sweeping the country, the documentary took aim at prestige public affairs specials’ depiction of Watts as a site of poverty, a crime- ridden neigh- borhood, or a war zone. Saltzman, a white liberal documentarian from the nearby suburb of Alhambra in the San Gabriel Valley, sought to provide a platform for black residents to speak for themselves and to re orient main- stream tele vi sion audiences’ understanding of South Central Los Angeles. Black on Black portrayed Watts as a community of pe ople with deep ties to their neighborhood. Residents reflected on the meaning of black identity and spoke openly about their strug gles living within a city that marginalized their presence. Cinema and media studies scholars have written extensively on the tele- vi sion industry’s engagement with the Black Power movement, most often analyzing nationally broadcast situation comedies (Sanford and Son [nbc, 1972–77]), variety shows (The Flip Wilson Show [nbc, 1970–74], Soul Train [1970–2006]), and public affairs series (Black Journal [net, 1968–77]). How- ever, the expanding field of local programming constituted a crucial site of innovation and re sis tance to the whitewashed mainstream media.1 Black on Black directly addressed topics such as systemic racism and black cultural expression.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: TELEVISING the SPACE AGE: a DESCRIPTIVE CHRONOLOGY of CBS NEWS SPECIAL COVERAGE of SPACE EXPLORATION
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: TELEVISING THE SPACE AGE: A DESCRIPTIVE CHRONOLOGY OF CBS NEWS SPECIAL COVERAGE OF SPACE EXPLORATION FROM 1957 TO 2003 Alfred Robert Hogan, Master of Arts, 2005 Thesis directed by: Professor Douglas Gomery College of Journalism University of Maryland, College Park From the liftoff of the Space Age with the Earth-orbital beeps of Sputnik 1 on 4 October 1957, through the videotaped tragedy of space shuttle Columbia’s reentry disintegration on 1 February 2003 and its aftermath, critically acclaimed CBS News televised well more than 500 hours of special events, documentary, and public affairs broadcasts dealing with human and robotic space exploration. Much of that was memorably anchored by Walter Cronkite and produced by Robert J. Wussler. This research synthesizes widely scattered data, much of it internal and/or unpublished, to partially document the fluctuating patterns, quantities, participants, sponsors, and other key details of that historic, innovative, riveting coverage.
