  • Who Are Your Favorite TV Show Journalists?
    For video segments from The Gilmore Girls, Ugly Betty and WKRP in Cincinnati, go to: http://www.poynter.org/latest-news/mediawire/270447/who-are-your-favorite-tv-show-journalists/ Who are your favorite TV show journalists? by Kristen Hare Published Sep. 19, 2014 10:39 am Today is the anniversary of the first episode of the Mary Tyler Moore Show, which debuted in 1970. Poynter’s David Shedden wrote about the show and the recognition it received for today’s media history post. In February, Poynter’s Roy Peter Clark wrote about how journalists are shown in House of Cards. And on Wednesday, Lloyd Grove wrote about a new pack of TV and movie journalists for The Daily Beast. There’s a lot to choose from, so who are your favorite journalists from sitcoms or dramas? I have three. Paris Geller (from The Gilmore Girls. Rory Gilmore is also a favorite, but Paris was a super- journo.) There are a lot of great moments from Paris and Rory’s time at The Yale Daily News, but they started in high school. Betty Suarez (from Ugly Betty.) Betty starts as a secretary at a New York fashion mag, but works her way up and into the magazine’s masthead: And Les Nessman (from WKRP in Cincinnati. Love the bow tie). Who are your picks? (I’ve written about a few before, but I know there are lots more.) Email or tweet me your picks and I’ll pull together a collection. We have made it easy to comment on posts, however we require civility and encourage full names to that end (first initial, last name is OK).

This thesis examines the social, cultural and political history of the Queen Bee figure in the popular culture of the twentieth and twenty first centuries. The Queen Bee is a fluid anti-heroine however, a feminist character who while she tears down others around her to succeed is also genuine with relatable emotions.

    A STUDY IN GILMORE by PEYTON @BEACHDEATH *** THIS IS AN UNLICENSED, UNAUTHORIZED, AND NON-COMMERCIAL FANWORK. BRIEF LIST OF PEOPLE WHO SHOULDN’T SUE ME: AMY SHERMAN-PALLADINO, MARK GATISS, THE OTHER SHERLOCK GUY WHOSE NAME I FORGET, OH! MOFFAT, STEVEN (STEPHEN?) MOFFAT, SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE. *** 1. INT. - BEDROOM - NIGHT RORY GILMORE is having a nightmare. She is in a grey building with low ceilings, and the building is under attack. A colleague cries out her name as an explosion sounds in the distance, and the low ceiling caves in, shrouding her in fog. She jolts awake and sits up in bed, distressed and panic-stricken, until she realizes that she is safe, and a long way from war. She falls back onto her pillow. She tries to calm her breathing. Her memories refuse to leave her alone. She begins to weep. 2. INT. - BEDROOM - EARLY MORNING RORY sits up and switches on her bedside lamp. It’s still dark outside. She sits quietly, wrapped up in her thoughts, and casts her eyes around at the remains of her childhood bedroom - the Radiohead posters on the walls, the bookshelf brimming with Sylvia Plath and Dorothy Parker. She looks at her desk. A metal cane is leaning against it. She looks at it, unhappy. She will not be sleeping again tonight. 3. INT. - BEDROOM - MORNING The sun has finally risen. Rory - wet hair, freshly washed - is wearing a terry bathrobe. She walks across the room, leaning heavily on her cane. In her other hand, she’s carrying a mug of tea.

  • (Don't) Wear Glasses: the Performativity of Smart Girls On
    GIRLS WHO (DON'T) WEAR GLASSES: THE PERFORMATIVITY OF SMART GIRLS ON TEEN TELEVISION Sandra B. Conaway A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Kristine Blair, Advisor Julie Edmister Graduate Faculty Representative Erin Labbie Katherine Bradshaw © 2007 Sandra Conaway All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Kristine Blair, Advisor This dissertation takes a feminist view of t television programs featuring smart girls, and considers the “wave” of feminism popular at the time of each program. Judith Butler’s concept from Gender Trouble of “gender as a performance,” which says that normative behavior for a given gender is reinforced by culture, helps to explain how girls learn to behave according to our culture’s rules for appropriate girlhood. Television reinforces for intellectual girls that they must perform their gender appropriately, or suffer the consequences of being invisible and unpopular, and that they will win rewards for performing in more traditionally feminine ways. 1990-2006 featured a large number of hour-long television dramas and dramedies starring teenage characters, and aimed at a young audience, including Beverly Hills, 90210, My So-Called Life, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Freaks and Geeks, and Gilmore Girls. In most teen shows there is a designated smart girl who is not afraid to demonstrate her interest in math or science, or writing or reading. In lieu of ethnic or racial minority characters, she is often the “other” of the group because of her less conventionally attractive appearance, her interest in school, her strong sense of right and wrong, and her lack of experience with boys.

Many teachers are currently focused on academics instead of how their students are handling the stress of COVID-19 and distance learning. The focus issue addressed in this capstone project is SEL in the online classroom during COVID-19. An argument is made that distance learning causes a higher rate of mental health problems in students in all grade levels.

  • Emerging Leader Program 20Xx-20Xx Class – Getting Acquainted
    Emerging Leaders: 1) Submit a short statement outlining your experiences in NACADA and your initial thoughts about your goal(s) for association leadership (you may want to draw from your ELP application). Do you see the goals that you have now as fairly well-formed and firm, or are your goals quite fluid and just beginning to clarify (or somewhere in between)? 2) Submit a profile that will help a mentoring partner discover who you are. Label yourself in some way using whatever ‘handles’ that may seem relevant, for example your MBTI type, top five themes of strengths, or type of personality. Be as complete and perhaps creative as you can be. 3) A. What strengths do you see yourself as bringing to the association’s leadership arena? What type of resources/support are you looking for to help develop these strengths? B. What are the top five characteristics that you feel would make a mentor a good fit for you? 4) A. Talk a bit about the type of communication you are looking for with your mentor. What type of communication is most comfortable for you? Do you prefer phone calls, Facebook exchanges, emails, online meetings, or other communication modes? Why? How often do you think you might want/need to communicate? B. Is there anything else it might be beneficial for a mentor to know about you? Other personal preferences? Significant life events (i.e. position change, family changes, health issues, etc.) in the recent past or coming soon? Mentors: 1) Submit an outline of your NACADA leadership experience (you may want to draw from your mentor application).
