A New York magazine senior correspondent and on-air CNN contributor, she reports and comments on gender, politics, and the law. Carmon and her co-author were featured in the award-winning and Oscar nominated 2018 documentary RBG. The New York Times described Carmon as being "known for her smarts and feminist bona fides." Of Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg (2015) which spent three months on the Times' bestseller list, the paper’s staff book critic wrote, "That I responded so personally to it is a testimony to Ms. Carmon's storytelling and panache." In 2017 and 2018, Carmon teamed up with the Washington Post’s investigative team to break the news of sexual harassment and assault allegations against Charlie Rose, as well as CBS's knowledge of his conduct.

IRONIC FEMINISM: RHETORICAL CRITIQUE IN SATIRICAL NEWS A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Rhetorics, Communication, and Information Design by Kathy Elrick December 2016 Accepted by Dr. David Blakesley, Committee Chair Dr. Jeff Love Dr. Brandon Turner Dr. Victor J. Vitanza ABSTRACT Ironic Feminism: Rhetorical Critique in Satirical News aims to offer another perspective and style toward feminist theories of public discourse through satire. This study develops a model of ironist feminism to approach limitations of hegemonic language for women and minorities in U.S. public discourse. The model is built upon irony as a mode of perspective, and as a function in language, to ferret out and address political norms in dominant language. In comedy and satire, irony subverts dominant language for a laugh; concepts of irony and its relation to comedy situate the study’s focus on rhetorical contributions in joke telling. How are jokes crafted? Who crafts them? What is the motivation behind crafting them? To expand upon these questions, the study analyzes examples of a select group of popular U.S.

Charlie Rose Latest to Fall in Harassment Scandal
Charlie Rose Latest to Fall in Harassment Scandal Ronn Torossian, CEO, 5WPR Yet another media giant has been felled after multiple allegations of sexual harassment piled up to sink his career. Other than Bill O’Reilly, who was fired from Fox after his accusers went public, the unceremonious end to Charlie Rose’s media career may have been the biggest headline yet. Both CBS and PBS parted ways with the popular news anchor after multiple women came forward with some very specific allegations against Rose. In a blunt statement, CBS said: Charlie Rose (Photo source: Twitter) “A short time ago we terminated Charlie Rose’s employment with CBS News, effective immediately… This followed the revelation yesterday of extremely disturbing and intolerable behavior said to have revolved around his PBS program. Despite Charlie’s important journalistic contribution to our news division, there is absolutely nothing more important, in this or any organization, than ensuring a safe, professional workplace — a supportive environment where people feel they can do their best work. We need to be such a place.” Let’s unpack that statement from Public a Relations perspective… First, it should be said that Rose produced his own program, which was then distributed on CBS and PBS networks. However, because the intricacies of this contract were not public knowledge, Rose was effectively a very public face for both networks. They needed to make a clean, public cut to demonstrate their independence from his brand. This is one step in the process Fox fumbled a bit with O’Reilly, and they are still taking hits over it.

Politics, Oppression and Violence in Harold Pinter's Plays
Politics, Oppression and Violence in Harold Pinter’s Plays through the Lens of Arabic Plays from Egypt and Syria Hekmat Shammout A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS BY RESEARCH Department of Drama and Theatre Arts College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham May 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract This thesis aims to examine how far the political plays of Harold Pinter reflect the Arabic political situation, particularly in Syria and Egypt, by comparing them to several plays that have been written in these two countries after 1967. During the research, the comparative study examined the similarities and differences on a theoretical basis, and how each playwright dramatised the topic of political violence and aggression against oppressed individuals. It also focussed on what dramatic techniques have been used in the plays. The thesis also tries to shed light on how Arab theatre practitioners managed to adapt Pinter’s plays to overcome the cultural-specific elements and the foreignness of the text to bring the play closer to the understanding of the targeted audience.

UNIVERSITY OF RHODESPRING 2019 ISLANDMAGAZINE Dream Team Aperture “NIZAM ZACHMAN FISHING PORT, JAKARTA, INDONESIA” by Fery Sutyawan, Ph.D. ’19 Fery Sutyawan took this photo in summer 2017, when he did a field observation at Nizam Zachman for his dissertation research. The fishing port is the largest in Indonesia, home to more than 1,200 industrial-scale fishing vessels. Indonesia is the second largest marine fisheries producer in the world, and there is not enough port space to accommodate the country’s fishing boats. URI is involved in numerous projects and partnerships with Indonesia, most of which relate to fisheries, marine affairs, and sustainable development. Sutyawan explains that this photo depicts the strength of the country’s fishing fleet, while also illustrating the problem of increasing global exploitation of fisheries resources. This spring, Sutyawan will defend his dissertation, which focuses on marine fisheries governance in Indonesia.

Rudy Giuliani Charlie Rose
The Charlie Rose Show - 1 - 8/1/07 The Charlie Rose Show Session One Guest: Rudy Giuliani Charlie Rose: Rudy Giuliani is here. He was the mayor of New York City for two terms, from January 1994 through December 2001. After the attacks of September 11th, he became known and loved as America’s Mayor. In February of this year, he announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for the 2008 presidential campaign. He has been the Party’s frontrunner ever since. He just returned from New Hampshire where he spoke about healthcare. I am pleased to have him at this table to talk about issues and politics. Welcome. Rudy Giuliani: Thank you, Charlie. Nice to be back. You just returned from New Hampshire. It is said, I want to come to politics primarily later, that because of Fred Thompson's entry, you're putting more attention on New Hampshire and Iowa. True? Rudy Giuliani: No. No. No. I don't know if Fred is going to enter or not. We haven't made any choices based on that. Our strategy has always been, from back in January, to -- first of all you got to raise the money. You wish you didn't have to, but you got to get over that and say that's the cards you're dealt. You got to raise the money. So our first emphasis is making sure we have enough money to contest, when you get down to pretty soon, October, November, December, January, all these big states were thrown at us very quickly.
