We went to Plains, Georgia last week for far-ranging conversations with Jimmy Carter and Senator Mondale with the aim of finding the flavor and measure of the candidates before all the speechifying of a fall campaign begins. We hope to do the same thing with the Republican ticket immediately after the Kansas City Convention. Jimmy Carter took me walking in a peanut field.

  • Commentators Bring Personality, Experiences to the Texas Daily Will Drive the Unique Mix of News, Opinion and Audience Interaction
    For immediate release Commentators Bring Personality, Experiences to The Texas Daily Will drive the unique mix of news, opinion and audience interaction ADDISON, TEXAS (Sept. 20, 2012)—The countdown is on for the Oct. 1 launch of The Texas Daily, KTXD-TV’s new morning show that mixes news, opinion and audience interaction weekday mornings from 8-9. The real production coup, however, are the 14 people currently slated to inform and entertain us – 14 of Dallas’ best-loved former anchors and journalists from the past three decades. “Jeff Brady is hosting this cast of professional journalists,” says Brian Joyce, KTXD-TV station manager. “Don’t expect them to simply read copy from a teleprompter. Jeff will introduce topics that our commentators will offer their personal opinion on. This format goes beyond the traditional noon, 6 and 10 newscasts.” As host, Brady will anchor the program every day, while the other 13 contributors rotate through, two at a time, per show. Below are the backgrounds that shape the opinions our commentators will offer their Baby Boomer audience: Jeff Brady, formerly of WFAA: A proud Aggie, Jeff served the country as a USMC Marine Corps Captain and is a veteran of the Persian Gulf War. Before landing in Dallas at WFAA, he covered politics, crime, military and human interest stories in Yuma, Ariz., Tyler and San Antonio, Texas, and Shreveport, La. He and his wife have three young children. Interesting fact: He almost went to seminary. Gary Cogill, formerly with WFAA: In his 24-year career as a movie critic for WFAA, Gary reviewed more than 10,000 films and interviewed more than 20,000 actors, writers and directors including Robert DeNiro, Meryl Streep, Stephen Spielberg and Clint Eastwood.

Paperback. 292 pages. Dimensions: 8.9in. x 5.9in. x 0.9in.Harry Reasoner was one of the most trusted and well-liked journalists of the golden age of network television news. Whether anchoring the evening newscast on CBS in the 1960s or on ABC in the 1970s, providing in-depth reporting on 60 Minutes, or hosting numerous special programs covering civil rights struggles, the Vietnam War, and Watergate, Reasoner had that almost mystical quality it seems to take for good television reporting, exuding this atmosphere of truth and believability, in the words of Walter Cronkite. Yet his reassuring manner and urbane, oen witty, on-air persona masked a man who was far more complex and contradictory. Though gied with the intelligence and drive to rise to the top of his profession, Reasoner was regarded by many colleagues as lazy and self-indulgent, a man who never achieved his full potential despite his many accomplishments. Harry Reasoner: A Life in the News covers the entire sweep of this enigmatic journalists life and career.

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 comer of a large dieet and to continue photoing from left to riÿ it in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4.

  • Personal Narratives of Health by TV Anchors and Reporters
    Personal Narratives of Health by TV Anchors and Reporters: Issues of Control Over Social Media and Professional Expression by Kirstin Pellizzaro A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved April 2019 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Leslie-Jean Thornton, Chair Bill Silcock K. Hazel Kwon Pauline Cheong ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2019 ABSTRACT Broadcast journalists often report on people dealing with illness or physical hardship, their difficulties and triumphs. But what happens when journalists personally experience those kinds of health-related issues? This study explores how 24 local and national on-air journalists share how they manage life with illness and hardship using personal narratives shared on their professional social media pages, detailing how the journalists navigate sharing a deeply personal experience while maintaining a professional journalistic persona. Thematic analysis found the journalists’ performed three acts when sharing personal health information in a public forum: they reported on their illness, they were transparent, and they justified their actions. Within the three themes a range of expression – from personal to professional – and influences over content were found, leading to the final overarching theme, implications and consequences on content creation. This dissertation finds a complicated struggle to maintain a professional self while acknowledging the urge to connect with others through a deeply personal experience. i DEDICATION To Grandma Bev. You were not here for the finish line, but I know you are cheering. To my Mom and Dad. Thank you for always supporting me. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Throughout the writing of this dissertation, I have received a great deal of support and assistance.

  • An Interview with Mike Wallace: a Look Back and at What's Ahead for Broadcast News
    Brookings/Harvard Forum on Press Coverage and the War on Terrorism An Interview with Mike Wallace: A Look Back and at What's Ahead for Broadcast News May 22, 2002 TRANSCRIPT MR. STEPHEN HESS: We wish you all a good morning and welcome to the 18th conversation of the Brookings/Harvard Forum. I'm Steve Hess of Brookings, the co-host with Marvin Kalb the Executive Director of the Washington Center of Harvard's Shorenstein Center. Opening this program reminds me, Mike, of President Eisenhower's favorite cartoon from the old Saturday Evening Post. They had a man at the podium and he was saying, "Our next speaker needs all the introduction he can get." [Laughter] I may have done some introducing in my time, but I think truthfully this is the first time I can say our next speaker needs no introduction. Mike Wallace is simply the backbone of the most successful program in the history of television — "60 Minutes". MR. MIKE WALLACE: Not so. Don Hewitt is the backbone. MR. HESS: It's funny, when I was thinking of that sentence I said the most successful "information" program and then I crossed it out — thinking of Dallas or Seinfeld or Mash?no program has had the 34 year run, at least 25 of them right up there at the top. It is, I think, the most successful program in the history of television. And when he interviews you, you know you've been interviewed. [Laughter] William F. Buckley once said, "I am sure that Wallace using whatever magic it is he disposes of would have succeeded in getting Jack the Ripper to talk to him on the subject of how London streets were crowded with unnecessary young ladies." [Laughter] And when he investigates you, you know you've been investigated.
