  • ABSTRACT POLITICAL (IN)DISCRETION: HILLARY CLINTON's RESPONSE to the LEWINSKY SCANDAL by Kelsey Snyder Through an Examination
    ABSTRACT POLITICAL (IN)DISCRETION: HILLARY CLINTON’S RESPONSE TO THE LEWINSKY SCANDAL by Kelsey Snyder Through an examination of gender, politics, and media during the time of the Lewinsky scandal, this project shows that conversations about the first lady shifted throughout 1998. Just after the allegations were made public, the press and American people fought against the forthright position that Hillary took; the expectations of traditional first ladies they had known before were not met. After facing backlash via the press, the first lady receded to more acceptably defined notions of her actions, based largely in late 20th century conservative definitions of appropriate gender roles. By the end of 1998, consideration of a run for the Senate and increased public support for her more traditional image provided a compromise for Hillary Rodham Clinton’s public image. Having finally met the expectations of the nation, the press spoke less of the first lady in comparison to family values and almost exclusively by means of her political abilities.

  • Political Power Player: Russert to Deliver Post-Election Analysis
    By Tom Schuman The image that most people have of Tim Russert is one of an icy stare as he relentlessly questions the guest in the hot seat on NBC’s Meet the Press. But moderator of the top-rated Sunday public affairs program is only one of Russert’s duties. The 54- year-old Buffalo, New York native Political is also: • Managing editor of the program • Senior vice president and Washington Power Player bureau chief of NBC News • Political analyst for NBC Nightly Russert to Deliver News and the Today program Post-Election Analysis • Anchor of The Tim Russert Show, a weekly interview offering on CNBC • A contributing anchor for MSNBC In other words, if it’s news and Washington is involved – isn’t it always – then Russert will be there to deliver an immediate description of the impact and/or an in-depth probe for additional information and insights. Although always active and quite visible, Russert will be on center stage in the next few months. As the presidential campaign leads to the November election, Russert will be one of the key people Americans will count on for analysis of the race for the White House. 36 BizVoice/Indiana Chamber – September/October 2004 Al Gore utilizes a graphic to make his point on Meet the Press.

  • Framing the War on Terror the Internalization of Policy in the US Press
    Journalism Copyright © The Author(s), 2009. Reprints and permissions: http://www.sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav Vol. 10(6): 777–797 DOI: 10.1177/1464884909344480 ARTICLE Framing the War on Terror The internalization of policy in the US press Stephen D. Reese and Seth C. Lewis University of Texas, USA ABSTRACT The War on Terror was the label assigned by the Bush administration to its national security policy, launched in response to the attacks of 9/11. The cultural construction and political rationale supporting this slogan represent a powerful organizing prin- ciple that has become a widely accepted framing, laying the groundwork for the invasion of Iraq. We examine this framing where its sponsors intersect with US jour- nalism, as illustrated by news texts. Broadly, we examine trends in how news reports refer to the War on Terror and provide an interpretive analysis of stories in USA Today. From the period of September 2001 to early 2006, these news texts suggest that the frame was internalized by the US press. News and editorial reports went beyond ‘transmitting’ the label as shorthand for administration policy, to ‘reify’ the policy as uncontested, and ‘naturalize’ it as a taken-for-granted common-sense notion. KEY WORDS 9/11 framing ideology news routines news texts war on terror The challenge of political violence has grown with new means of global co- ordination and access to weapons of mass destruction. The Bush admini- stration’s response to this threat, following the now iconic policy reference point of 11 September 2001, has had far-ranging implications for national security strategy, relations with the world community, and civil liberties.
