  • HOWARD STERN: the Making of "Howard Stern"
    HOWARD STERN: The Making of "Howard Stern": An Analysis of the Duality of the Star Diplomarbeit zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Magisters der Philosophie an der Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz vorgelegt von Roland HABERSACK am Institut für Amerikanistik Begutachter: Ao. Univ.-Prof. Mag. Dr.phil Klaus Rieser Graz, 2011 Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the image of the controversial media personality Howard Stern is constructed. His omnipresence in the media including radio, publishing and cinema represents the main reason for this study. Stern‘s secret of success appears to be his urge to expose everything to the public including his own private life. For this study, both his public and his ostensible private persona are taken into account. This duality is necessary to shape our understanding of Howard Stern. As far as the methods are concerned the analysis is based around Richard Dyer‘s four categories that are essential to construct a star image: Promotion, publicity, film and criticism. A semiotic analysis seems to be most appropriate to observe the ideological values as well as the notion of cultural identity evoked by the signs of the star‘s public and private image. In order to compare the two personas and their representations Stern‘s biographical movie Private Parts and various articles and interviews in other visual media are used as reference purposes. Both entities extensively use manipulative means to create the preferred image. The difference lies in the highlighted features. Whereas the media confirms his notorious image, the movie attempts to revert it. Despite the difference of the preferred images, the movie and the media highlight Stern‘s authenticity and honesty in equal measure.

In August of 2016, God’s Love celebrated one full year in our new home, the Michael Kors Building, in SoHo. We are now cooking and delivering nutritious meals for 6,803 individuals affected by severe and chronic illness – clients, their children and their senior caregivers. We are most grateful to all of our generous supporters and amazing volunteers who helped make this year such a memorable one. We continue to enhance our menu in order to provide clients with the best possible experience. This year, our Kitchen and Nutrition departments added a new “soft diet” for clients who do not need minced or pureed meals, but for whom chewing and swallowing our regular meals may be too difficult. Softer entrees like fish cakes and meatloaf are delicious, nutritious and easy to chew. These meals help many clients boost their nutrition intake with minimal discomfort and impact to their oral health concerns. As always, we strive to ensure that the most appropriate nutrition is delivered to each client, and we are thrilled to introduce this option into our meal program. Board Chair Scott Bruckner and President & CEO This was a year of firsts.
