More than 300 doctors and health experts participated with Children's Television Network (CTW)in selling the 11 priority topics for the series: alcohol abuse, cancer, child care, dental care, exercise, the health care delivery system, heart disease, hypertension, mental health, nutrition, and prenatal care. Several informational and behavioral goals are attached to each topic. To attract a mass audience, CTW's Community Education Service will work with local public TV stations.

As one doctor told the Workshop hea!th staff recently, "It's what you do, hour by hour and day by day, that largely determines whether you get sick, what you get sick with, and perhaps when you die." Selection of subject material for the series has taken over two years. More than 300 doctors and health experts participated with the Workshop in this process. The series will use a resident company of eight whose characters are so defined that the audience will be able to identify with them.

  • Characterization of Popular Culture Icons in LIFE and TIME Magazines
    STANLEY, MARSHICA., M.A. Characterization of Popular Culture Icons in LIFE and TIME Magazines. (2008) Directed by Dr. Rebecca Adams. 193 pp. Popular culture icons are physical objects of everyday use that make the everyday meaningful. They are ideas, both old and new, that are at the mercy of its viewer, meaning whatever the viewer desires whenever the viewers desires it. Celebrities with iconic images are global figures worshipped by the public. Their images appear to the public through the media and have their images transmitted globally through the media. No research currently examines the characteristics used to describe the idea of the icon in media. Research studies the use of stereotypes to depict women, racial minorities, as well as sporting individuals. The characterization of sporting individuals is frequently related to their gender or race. This research examines the differences in characterization of eight individuals with iconic images from the entertainment and sports industries in LIFE and TIME magazines. The eight individuals (Muhammad Ali, Babe Didrikson, Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Wilma Rudolph, Babe Ruth, and Oprah Winfrey) were selected based on the number of appearances they made in icon literature listing individuals as icons. Gender, race, and occupation differences are analyzed as well as trends in characterization over time. The individuals are also examined to determine which individuals have the most iconic images. Content analysis was conducted of magazine articles about the eight celebrities. The articles provide narratives about them as an ideal as opposed to them as a people. Results indicate that Whites, males, and entertainers have images that generally average more characteristics used to depict them to the public than Blacks, females, or sportsmen and women.

    CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER SEARCH 1 Canal Street • PO Box 335 • Seneca Falls, NY 13148 • womenofthehall.org • (315) 568-8060 T HE S EA RC H The Board of Directors of the National Women’s Hall of Fame invites applications and nominations of highly experienced, energetic, and creative candidates for the position of Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Candidates should be attracted to the opportunity to provide highly transformative leadership for the nation’s premier institution honoring exceptional American women who embody the National Women’s Hall of Fame mission of “Showcasing great women . Inspiring all”. The National Women’s Hall of Fame (NWHF/the Hall) is expanding in every way – in size, in reach, in influence. To better accommodate these ambitions, the NWHF rehabilitated the historic 1844 Seneca Knitting Mill located on the Seneca-Cayuga branch of the Erie Canal in Seneca Falls, NY, and moved into it in 2020. This extraordinary achievement was completed over nine years with 10 million dollars of funding. The NWHF is eager to embrace the opportunities enabled by this new, expansive space, including honoring the importance and sense of “place” that Seneca Falls and the Erie Canal system have played in the history of the economic, social, and human rights movements of the United States of America. Following this historic move, in this historic year celebrating the centennial of women’s suffrage, the National Women’s Hall of Fame now seeks a talented, proven leader dedicated to expanding the Hall’s national footprint, advancing its fundraising capacity, strengthening its organizational structure, and planning and implementing an ambitious agenda of new programs and exhibits.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. Yi necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
