Media Advocacy Board Chair Shabazz Stuart said the Internet has created a satu- rated market for news. “The bigger picture is that newspapers are doing what the record industry is trying to do,” Stuart, a senior, said. “The Internet allows free exchange of information. There are enough blogs and news sites for people to get news.” “The New York Times is large and pres- tigious enough that it might survive doing paid news online,” he said. “I don’t see how a smaller, regional newspaper can pull that off.” A decrease in newspapers’ popular- ity among young readers has deepened the effects of the economic recession on the medium, according to Miller. “They have to find a way to woo the young- er generation,” Miller said. Stuart believes the Internet generation treats information access differently than previous generations. “People view news as a right, not a privilege,” he said. But journalism in the future may not be entirely based on online news, Miller said. “The reporting that’s done all over the Internet is done largely by these newspa- pers,” he said. “It requires money and an infrastructure to pay reporters.” Print newspapers are institutions because they can feature investigative journalism and have the support to do so, Miller said. “The depth of some of these stories can’t be repli- cated” by online startups, he said.

When completing the Threat section of the IJ (Part III. Risk): ▪ First Choice: Describe specific terror (or violent homegrown extremist) incidents, threats, hate crimes, and/or related vandalism, trespass, intimidation, or destruction of property that have targeted its property, membership, or personnel.

  • Title of Dissertation
    SETTING UP CAMP: IDENTIFYING CAMP THROUGH THEME AND STRUCTURE A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Michael T. Schuyler January, 2011 Examining Committee Members: Cornelius B. Pratt, Advisory Chair, Strategic Communication John A. Lent, Broadcasting, Telecommunications & Mass Media Paul Swann, Film & Media Arts Roberta Sloan, External Member, Theater i © Copyright 2010 by Michael T. Schuyler All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT Camp scholarship remains vague. While academics don’t shy away from writing about this form, most exemplify it more than define it. Some even refuse to define it altogether, arguing that any such attempt causes more problems than it solves. So, I ask the question, can we define camp via its structure, theme and character types? After all, we can do so for most other genres, such as the slasher film, the situation comedy or even the country song; therefore, if camp relies upon identifiable character types and proliferates the same theme repeatedly, then, it exists as a narrative system. In exploring this, I find that, as a narrative system, though, camp doesn’t add to the dominant discursive system. Rather, it exists in opposition to it, for camp disseminates the theme that those outside of heteronormativity and acceptability triumph not in spite of but because of what makes them “different,” “othered” or “marginalized.” Camp takes many forms. So, to demonstrate its reliance upon a certain structure, stock character types and a specific theme, I look at the overlaps between seemingly disperate examples of this phenomenon.

Più arduo è spiegare tale successo, o meglio, spiegarlo senza ricorrere alle ovvietà. Le ovvietà stanno nel constatare, ad esempio, che è ben scritto: sembrerebbe a prima vista non proporre proprio nulla di nuovo ma in realtà presenta una compiutezza ed una omogeneità raggiunta attraverso la difformitù di generi di cui si avvale, attraverso il trarre elementi dal dramma, dalla commedia, dalla soap opera, dalla satira, dal giallo. È girato con un montaggio serrato ma sostenibile; occhieggia alla sit-com per la prevalenza di scene da interni, di comici equivochi, di intrecci che si risolvono nell'arco della singola puntata, ma se ne distanzia per la presenza costante di un chiaro progetto di vita che dà forma ai personaggi, e che continuamente evolve con il susseguirsi di accadimenti che lasciano tracce almeno sino alla successiva puntata.
