A booK that examines the role journalists play in covering race. Honors: Bob BullocK Texas State History Museum, “BooK It” BooK Club Selection, 2011 Review: "It was like hearing, feeling music—It was like summoning smoke, something over there that you had to at least pursue, even if you had no damned clue—and would never have a clear understanding..." writes Minutaglio on why he loved to read Langston Hughes as a young Italian American in New York City, circa 1968. IN SEARCH OF THE BLUES is, in part, Minutaglio's homage to Hughes: through a sweeping collection of interviews and elegant insight into the generative power of place, the reporter gives voice to African Americans in some of the most neglected corners of America. From communities like Sand Branch in Southeastern Dallas, where "the simple act of raising a cup of water, maybe badly contaminated water, to your lips is never far from your mind," to rumbling blues clubs, Minutaglio's search for the soul of black Texas is relentless. OXFORD AMERICAN, SEPT. 2010 Review: "Bill Minutaglio writes about Texas with an intimacy honed over years of exploring neighborhoods and personalities during his residencies in Houston, Dallas, Abilene and San Antonio. Yet this well-known journalist won't be invited to contribute to the glossy travel magazines any time soon. That's because Minutaglio's favorite subjects are the very places that tourists – and even many long-time residents – avoid . .In each of these pieces, he pushes journalism to its limits . a book as deeply felt and well written as this one has made a believer out of me . This commitment to the story behind the story sets this book apart, and will keep you thinking – and feeling – long after you have put it down" Ted Gioia, The Dallas Morning News Review: “You don't have to search for the blues because the blues always find you. In the introduction to his dazzling new collection of journalism, 'In Search of the Blues: A Journey to the Soul of Black Texas,' Bill Minutaglio anticipates this reaction when he writes, 'You can search for the blues and you will find them — or they will find you' . 'In Search of the Blues' is not only "a celebration of the blues, black culture and black Texans but a celebration of extraordinary journalism and writing." Cary Clack, San Antonio Express-News Review: “His writing is informed by a deep passion for the blues, and he works in a rhythmic, circular motion, gathering groups of words until, startlingly, they take flight. Minutaglio’s journalism has evolved into history, chronicling people and places that otherwise would have been lost. “The theme of recovering lost history is present in In Search of the Blues. This volume collects Minutaglio’s best and most enduring writing about African Americans in Texas. From his report on a neglected community on the outskirts of Dallas, where running water remains a dream, to his profile of Percy Sutton, the San Antonio native who became Malcolm X’s lawyer and owner of the Apollo Theater in Harlem, Minutaglio’s stories shift the axis of our state’s literature, opening a world too long hidden from most white Texans. “Minutaglio’s work demonstrates why writing—and publishing—matters, even in this age of social media and 140-character tweets. Minutaglio’s book succeeds as “art” while contributing to our understanding of humanity—in particular the “other Texas.” Steve Davis, The Texas Observer Review: "Reading Bill Minutaglio is like listening to one of the great Texas blues legends. His reporting brings forth stories of suffering and resilience, while at the same time his dazzling writing evokes the brilliantly effusive guitar solos of masters like T- Bone Walker and Lightnin' Hopkins." Steve Davis, Assistant Curator of the Southwestern Writers Collection at Texas State University-San Marcos. Review: “Few people have ever written stories of blood, hunger, history, struggle, beauty, music, pain, family, myths and neglect with the undeniably authoritative prose that Minutaglio displays in this collection.” Sept, 26, 2010, The Austin Post **Book, 2010: “Molly Ivins: A Rebel Life,” PublicAffairs BooKs, New YorK .

    The Texas Observer DEC. 13, 1963 A Journal of Free Voices A Window to The South 25c Who Was Lee Harvey Oswald? Dallas Much has been written about Lee Harvey Oswald, 24, of New Orleans, Fort Worth, and, for a time, the Soviet Union, but I have learned the most about him as he was on November 22 in Dallas from two long interviews here, one with a man who had an argument with him less than a month before that day and one with a man who knew him as well as anyone who has spoken up. His mother, too, has had a part of her say, but she is determined to sell her story; she did not know him well at the end; and he had moved beyond her influence. His brothers kept then ovvr: cywnsel. His wife has yet to talk to reporters, other than a Life team who did not report much from her. And he is dead now. The argument occurred at a meeting of the Dallas chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union at Selectman Hall on the S.M.U. campus Oct. 25. Michael Paine, Os- wald's only close acquaintance, as far as is known, during the last months of his life, had brought him as a guest. The program for the evening was built around a showing of a film developing the theme that a Washington state legislator had been defeated by right'-'wing attacks based on previous communist-type associa- tions of the legislator's wife. The discussion was running along the theme that liberals should oppose witch-hunts, but with scru- pulous methods.

    28TH ANNUAL AGENTS & EDITORS CONFERENCE CRAFT • BUSINESS • COMMUNITY SEPTEMBER 17-19, 2021 AUSTIN, TEXAS 1 On behalf of everyone here at the Writers’ League of Texas, welcome to the 28th annual Agents & Editors Conference. Whether you’re joining us in-person or virtually, we can’t thank you enough for setting aside this weekend to be a part of this event and this writing community. The last time we gathered for this conference was June 2019, what feels like a lifetime ago. In June 2020, we canceled our in-person plans and stepped into the virtual space to host a free and open to all weekend of programming, the UnConference. Now, in 2021, we are so excited to be back at the Hyatt Regency with all of you – and also thrilled to be bringing this event to a larger audience virtually. The panels, conversations, and presentations you’ll find detailed here will cover everything from submitting to literary journals to catching an agent’s eye to writing for young people and beyond. This year, we’re introducing pre-confer- ence virtual sessions featuring published authors and their book editors, plus special In Conversation sessions with authors we admire talking with each other about compelling topics. And we’re celebrating our WLT Book Awards’ 30th anniversary on Saturday evening. (Yes, there will be cake.) For the first time ever, we’ll have in-person and virtual consultations taking place during the conference and we’ll be recording every single session and even live streaming a few. We will have limited seating in breakout rooms to keep in line with our social distancing guidelines, but you’ll receive recordings of every session once the conference concludes.

  • 23Rd Annual Legislative Forum October 4, 2018 Legislative Forum 2018
    GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS RIGHT TIME. RIGHT PLACE. RIGHT SOLUTION. 23RD ANNUAL LEGISLATIVE FORUM OCTOBER 4, 2018 LEGISLATIVE FORUM 2018 Maine could make national headlines this November because of the number of key races on the ballot this year. With important seats up for grabs and two political parties looking to score “big wins” in our state, the only thing we can predict about our political forecast is that it is unpredictable. • Who will be Maine’s next Governor? • Which party will take control of the State Legislature? • Will incumbents prevail in Maine’s first and second Congressional districts? • Who will win the race for U.S. Senate, and will the result impact the balance of power in Washington? With so much up in the air here in Maine and a stagnant climate looming over Washington, our Legislative Forum’s key note speaker, CNN commentator Paul Begala, will offer his unique perspective and insight on today’s political landscape. He will discuss why Maine’s races will be closely watched and talk about the impact the 2018 midterm elections will have on our country and state. Begala will also offer his thoughts on the biggest issues facing Congress and how the election will impact Washington’s agenda. We’ll also bring to the stage radio power duo Ken and Matt from WGAN Newsradio’s Ken & Matt Show to share their political humor and insights with our Forum guests. Through their comedic banter, they will give “their take” on today’s top policy issues and the candidates running for office. And to close out the day, Maine Credit Union League President/CEO Todd Mason will interview a Special Guest to talk about why credit union advocacy and electing pro-credit union candidates matter.

Newhouse School of Public Communications Year of Visit: 2015 Executive Summary: • The School’s skills courses comply with the ACEJMC mandate of no more than 20 students per section. • The Newhouse School’s Mission Statement is a part of its Strategic Plan, which is written to cover all academic programs in the School. It reinforces the School’s commitment to graduating communication leaders with a solid liberal arts foundation. Graduate students are selected in keeping with this mandate; the vast majority of them come to the School with baccalaureate education that has a focus on the liberal arts. Their rigorous professional Master’s education is designed in part to build from that liberal arts foundation. From there, the mandate that we graduate leaders who are agile, ethically responsible, who embrace diversity and who can demonstrate cutting-edge skill requires the Professional Master’s programs to concentrate uniquely rigorous activities into their shorter and more intense time frames. 1.
