MEDIA RELATIONS, OFFICE OF: Records, 1981-1989 – REAGAN LIBRARY COLLECTIONS MEDIA RELATIONS, OFFICE OF: Records, 1981-1989 – REAGAN LIBRARY COLLECTIONS This collection has been reviewed by the Reagan Library staff and it is available for research. You may access this collection in our research room. There is no need to file a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for any of the contents of this collection. MEDIA RELATIONS, OFFICE OF: Records, 1981-1989 Office History The Office of Media Relations was responsible for all press relations except the White House Press Corps. This involved press briefings, press conferences for regional and local media, arranging interviews for regional media, and sending out video clips for local newscasts. At various times it also included the “television office” responsible for the recordings of Presidential video/audio-taped messages and assisting with the actual technical set-ups for outside broadcast crews. These different functions were carried out under several office permutations and office names throughout the Reagan administration. Since most of the staff and their physical location remained the same throughout the eight years, we have gathered all of this material under the title of the Office of Media Relations. Originally, providing liaison services to non-regular White House press was handled by a subset of the Press Secretary’s Office entitled Media Liaison. Its director was Lou Gerig, an associate of Press Secretary James Brady. His staff included Sue Mathis (later Mathis-Richard) and Linda Perryman. Simultaneously, the Office of Communications contained the “Television Consultant to the President,” Mark Goode and Media Coordinator, Jan Mahan (later Mahan-Duval). Goode and Mahan handled the recorded activities of the President. This consisted of taping messages for various events the President could not attend, public service announcements, interviews and the President’s weekly radio address. In addition, they provided the television service or coordinated the needs of external television organizations. Their activities included audio and video, political and non-political recordings and working with recordings for the First Lady. After the assassination attempt on the President, and the resulting serious injury to Press Secretary James Brady, it became necessary to make adjustments in handling the media and the construction of the Press Secretary’s office. Larry Speakes and Karna Small (later Small- Stringer) were both Deputy Press Secretaries at the time of Brady’s injury. Speakes was made Principal Deputy Secretary for the Press Office. The Office of Media Liaison was moved from the Press Secretary’s Office, and became a sub-office of the Office of Communications. Karna Small was made the Director of Media Relations and Planning and Lou Gerig became her Deputy Director. The television office functions became Small’s responsibilities, although it appears to have been handled almost exclusively by Mahan and Goode. In addition, the newly constituted office appears to have taken the responsibility of the Speaker’s Bureau. The Library found no documents related to the Speaker’s Bureau within this collection. 3/11/2020 Media Relations, Office - 2 While serving as Director of Media Relations and Planning, Small also became a consultant to the National Security Council on media relations. In 1984, both Karna Small and Jan Mahan- Duval left the Office of Media Relations. The office went through some short term solutions, but it was eventually decided to separate the television/recording functions into the Office of Television and to promote Sue Mathis-Richard to Director of the Office of Media Relations. Elizabeth Board was hired as Director of the Television Office. Both offices were ultimately reporting to the Office of Communications. At this time the Office of Media Relations continued as a the point of contact for all non-White House press corps inquiries, arranging media coverage for other White House office evetns, especially the Office of Public liaison and the Office of Political Affairs, working with national magazines, and providing regional briefings for local media from selected areas of the country. Mathis-Richard left the White House in September 1987 and the television functions and media relations were recombined. Elizabeth Board became the Director of Media and Broadcast Relations. This was the final organization of these functions in the White House. The Office of Media Relations, in all its manifestations, was always a small office with limited staff, supplemented with several interns providing administrative support. The material for this office has been arranged in eight series: Series I: Correspondence pg. 3 Series II: Subject File I, 1981-1984 pg. 5 Series III: Subject File II, 1985-1989 pg. 14 Series IV: Television Office – Presidential Taping Sessions, 1981-1988 pg. 17 Series V: Television Office - First Lady Taping Sessions, 1981-1988 pg. 29 Series VI: Television Office – Political Taping Sessions, 1981-1988 pg. 30 Series VII: Mailings, 1981-1988 pg. 32 Series VIII: Calendars. pg. 38 SERIES I: CORRESPONDENCE 1981-1987 (Boxes 1-6; 2.5 l.ft.)

SERIES VI: TELEVISION OFFICE – POLITICAL TAPING SESSION (Boxes 53-55; 1 l. ft.) This series consists of the background material and administrative arrangements for the political endorsement and political support tapings by the President for various candidates and the Republican party for fundraising. It is arranged chronologically. This material was originally separated among various staff members: Mahan-Duval, Elizabeth Board, Caroline Rhoden and John Peschong. Since the material was not unique to each staff member but unique to the date and type of taping, the Library combined all the tapings in one office series. SERIES VII: MAILINGS, 1981-1988 (Boxes 55-64; 5 l.ft.) This series consists of various issue statements, press releases, fact sheets and questions and answer papers sent out to outside media during the Reagan Administration.

The Library was unable to establish any individual ownership of these calendars, so they were placed in the office collection. Other Media Relations staff members have other copies and further copies of these calendars. They are arranged chronologically.

  • Pressepolitik in Den US- Kriegen Des 20
    Die andere Front: Pressepolitik in den US- Kriegen des 20. Jahrhunderts Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades der Philosophischen Fakultät der Universität zu Köln vorgelegt von Andreas Elter Saarbrücker Str. 5 51107 Köln Köln, April 2003 ii Danksagung Angeregt wurde diese Dissertation durch den verstorbenen Leiter der Anglo- Amerikanischen Abteilung der Universität zu Köln, Prof. Jürgen Heideking. Unmittelbar nach Abschluss meines Studiums im Jahre 1996 kamen Prof. Heideking und ich in mehreren Gesprächen gemeinsam zu der Auffassung, dass bei der Untersuchung US- amerikanischer Kriege des 20. Jahrhunderts häufig ein ganz entscheidender Aspekt fehlte: Nämlich eine übergreifende Analyse der Pressepolitik, die vor allem die Bedeutung der Medienlenkung im Krieg herausarbeitet. Auf dieser Grundlage entstand überhaupt erst mein Entschluss, eine entsprechende Dissertation vorzulegen. Daher soll hier an erster Stelle Prof. Heideking gedankt werden. Durch einen beruflich bedingten Umzug nach Mainz und den Tod Prof. Heidekings verzögerte sich der Start des Projekts um drei Jahre. Eine Initialzündung für die Wiederaufnahme und Vervollständigung der Recherchen stellte dann 1999 ein Aufenthalt als "Visiting Media Fellow" der RIAS-Kommission am "Institute for Public Policy" der Duke University in North Carolina dar. Die Leiterin des Instituts, Ellen Mickiewicz, gewährte mir unter anderem auf Grund ihrer Erfahrungen einer Beratertätigkeit für den ehemaligen US-Präsidenten Jimmy Carter tiefe Einblicke ins Innenleben pressepolitischer Zusammenhänge und Kontakte zu amerikanischen Journalisten. Ihr und den anderen Lehrkräften der Duke University, insbesondere Prof. David Paletz, gebührt ebenfalls Dank. In den USA haben mich darüber hinaus Martin Bohley (CNN Atlanta), Susan Tifft (New York Times), Rick Atkinson (Washington Post), Albert Dagliesh (Presseabteilung des Pentagon) sowie die freundlichen Damen und Herren im CBS und NBC-Archiv sowie an der Library of Congress und den National Archives bei meinen Recherchen unterstützt.

  • New Hope for Marriage
    New Hope for Marriage Louise Strait May 1975 Photo date and location unknown In the late sixties and early seventies we saw unique ways of working out man-woman relationships: trial marriages, group marriages, contract marriages, non-sanctioned marriages. None seemed to provide the answers and both men and women are taking their exits in greater numbers and variety of ways than ever before. So much so that the greeting card industry is now marketing "Just Divorced" party invitations to which people bring gifts like split peas and egg separators. "Announcing our new address... Splitsville," says another. The divorce rate, as a matter of fact, is still climbing. Last year it was up 6.2 percent from 1973. For the first time, the number of runaway wives has risen to equal that of runaway husbands. Some of the departures are bizarre: in one case a wife disappeared after she jumped out of their car at a red light, saying that she would clean the snow off the rear window. Does it matter so much? Is this problem of the essential husband-wife relationship within the family so significant? Vicki Tatz has pointed out the effects of family disintegration upon children and the aged. What about the husband and wife? Studies have shown that single and divorced people feel a high degree of stress and unhappiness. Because of our lifelong need to give and receive love, marriage is necessary not only for the sake of the children or the sake of society, but for the sake of those immediately involved the man and woman themselves.

  • Dick Swanson's Biography/CV
    DICK SWANSON, PHOTOGRAPHER: BIOGRAPHY AND CURRICULUM VITAE BIOGRAPHY AND ARTISTIC ANALYSIS Richard Conrad "Dick" Swanson was born in 1933 in Caro, Michigan, and grew up in nearby Vassar. As a teenager Dick Swanson bought a Graflex Speed Graphic large format camera and started his own commercial photography business, the Vassar Photo Service. Between 1948 and 1952 he took hundreds of photographs for local newspapers and businesses. These black and white images captured virtually every aspect of a typical small midwestern U.S. town shortly after World War II. The subjects included school cooks and football players; power plants and old hotel rooms; car wrecks and weddings. Several images documented post-war events such as memorial ceremonies and the immigration of European refugees. Some of the more interesting photographs of this period come from Swanson's coverage of the Vassar Centennial celebration in 1949. Over several days, as residents donned vintage nineteenth- century clothing and participated in activities of a bygone era, Swanson created dozens of striking (and often humorous) images in which time and place are ambiguous, and whose subjects appear at once familiar and strange. After graduating from high school Swanson stopped taking pictures to focus on his college education, a career in dentistry, and raising a family. He and his wife Jo moved to Florida in 1961 with their first son Michael, and later had two more children, Mark and Matthew. In the late 1960s he decided to pick up photography again, this time as an artistic endeavor. He purchased a 35mm SLR camera, built his own darkroom and started taking pictures whenever he had free time.

  • Westminster Chorus 2015 International Chorus Champion Enough Cannot Be Said About the Incredible Westminster Chorus from Westminster, CA
    Welcome to the 2016 Midwinter Convention Welcome to Reno and welcome to the annual gathering of Barbershop family and friends at the 2016 Midwinter Convention! This city has an enormous amount to offer us during our stay to complement an expanded schedule of shows and festival singing. We welcome the youth choruses that have scratched and clawed their way to Reno and have spent a huge amount of energy to set aside the time and get financials in place. They have also worked on their singing, of course, in order to share some harmonies with us here. The word in the halls is that they all have even learned brand new tags (some they’ve even written) and want to share those. What would they like in return? They want to meet and talk to YOU about your past Barbershop experiences and how you want to SHARE Barbershop in YOUR OWN future. Oh, and teaching your favorite tag, arrangement, or Barberpole Cat would be an additional gift to share as well! The seniors quartets are here in force, so don’t miss the Seniors Quartet Contest on Saturday. When I hear the seniors quartet barbershoppers and the youth festival attendees share their music with one another on stage and in the lobbies, I am constantly amazed at how music transcends all age barriers. It’s simply magical how singers can perform, reach out, and engage any listener of any age in any story that is told through song. It’s a powerful thing. Don’t forget that our hotel/casino offers a great variety of food choices and other entertainment, but keep the smoking to the designated areas or else I’ll cough in the middle of that fabulous baritone post.
