  • RACE and the NEWS Coverage of Martin Luther King Day and Dia De Los Muertos in Two California Dailies
    RACE AND THE NEWS Coverage of Martin Luther King Day and Dia de los Muertos in two California dailies Regina M. Marchi News coverage of multicultural celebrations has been categorized as stereotypical and apolitical*portraying racial minorities in festive, non-threatening ways that appeal to Anglo audiences without challenging the political system that oppresses people of color. Analyzing 10 years of Martin Luther King Day and Day of the Dead celebration coverage in the Los Angeles Times and the San Francisco Chronicle, this paper concludes that a significant number of celebration stories discuss serious political issues affecting people of color in ways that contradict the assumptions of racial equality and peaceful coexistence generally associated with multi- cultural projects. Because of the ‘‘sphere of consensus’’ status of these ‘‘soft’’ news stories, non-elite sources and oppositional perspectives are prominent in ways that are not typical of ‘‘hard’’ political news. KEYWORDS multiculturalism; non-elite sources; public rituals; race in the news; racial stereotypes; soft news; sphere of consensus Introduction News coverage of multicultural celebrations is widely considered to be apolitical because of its focus on children, family entertainment, and ‘‘exotic’’ cultural performances that stand out from the everyday conventions of mainstream Anglo Americans. Such news falls within the journalistic realm of the ‘‘sphere of consensus,’’ which Dan Hallin defines as ‘‘the region of motherhood and apple pie: in its bounds lie those social objects not regarded by journalists and by most of the society as controversial’’ (1994, p. 53). Typically accompanied by photos, news on ethnic festivals such as Chinese New Year, Native American pow-wows, or Cinco de Mayo has evolved from relatively rare (pre-1980s)1 to routine fare at newspapers across the United States.

  • Chapter 1 the Meaning of Progress
    Chapter 1 The Meaning of Progress Change is not progress. H.L. Mencken Suppose that all your objects in life were realized; that all the changes in institutions and opinions, which you are looking forward to, could be completely effected at this very instant; would this be a great joy and happiness to you? Autobiography of John Stuart Mill Will our sons and daughters be better off at the dawn of the third millennium than our grandparents were at the start of the twentieth century? Nobody would have posed this question in 1900; the answer was too obviously yes. Now many intelligent observers doubt future progress. The twentieth century with its vicious total wars, the holocaust, ethnic cleansing, and environmental degradation has put an end to hopes that society and mankind will achieve perfection and even raised doubts as to whether life will continue to improve. In the eighteenth and nineteenth century, virtually all literate people in Europe and North America accepted without question the existence and desirability of progress. Prior to the Enlightenment most people had viewed life as static. Reflecting the view that fashions and living conditions were unchanging, the medieval artist portrayed early Christians dressed in contemporaneous costumes and inhabiting fifteenth century castles. A growth in knowledge of history and science gradually led to the realization that human life had changed over the centuries. As a consequence after 1750 most Westerners embraced the concept of progress for mankind if not for the non–human world. The perception that life, the earth, and the universe were constantly changing grew only slowly even in Europe and North America.

The city of New Orleans experienced the United State’s worst natural disaster to date in the wake of hurricane Katrina in August of 2005. New Orleans was devastated. The simple difference between this major American city and so many other hurricane ravished cities in history is that New Orleans has not recovered more than four years later.

  • YMI Whistle Resources
    Introduction Fàilte! The Whistle is known to be one of the oldest instruments found in Scotland, be it wood, metal, clay, reed, or bone, for over 2,400 years our Scottish descendants have produced beautiful music from this simple instrument. From the oldest designs found at Oakbank Crannog, around 600-400BC, to the most recent seen in today’s modern and vibrant Folk scene, this versatile instrument carries much of Scotland’s musical history and heritage with it. This resource has been designed for tutors and teachers who wish to teach the Whistle and the heritage with which it is associated. Since 2003 Fèisean nan Gàidheal has employed professional musicians to teach Scottish Traditional music in Primary Schools as part of the Youth Music Initiative (YMI). Through this initiative, many thousands of pupils have been introduced to Traditional music and have engaged with their cultural past and present. This pack is specifically designed to bring pupils on from the level of ‘complete beginner’ to ‘confident Whistle player’. Whistle students will also learn how to read standard notation and learn the story or history of the tunes they play. Included in the pack are; notes on each tune and the possible difficulties students may face, lyrics which are associated with the tunes for tutors, activities which can be introduced into the lesson, tips on class discipline and class structure, information on whistle ornamentation, and a progressive system which allows both tutors and students to assess their competency level on the Whistle. Since 2003, this programme has been tried and tested by YMI tutors with much success.
