The findings contrast with claimsby members of the Catholic Church in Detroit that thenewspapers had an institutional bias against the church. The Detroit Newspapers' coverage of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Detroit before and during the Newspaper Strike 3 Introduction Allegations of institutional bias in the news media is nothing new.' Two recently published books that provide anecdotes of liberal bias in the news media is however, encouraging fresh debates about the lack of fairness and balance in journalism: Bernard Goldberg's Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distorts the News, and William McGowan's Coloring the News: How Crusading for Diversity Has Corrupted American Journalism2. Critics of these books fault the authors for providingno scholarly research to substantiate their claims of liberal news bias.3 This study back peddles in time to substantiate or refute claims of news bias made by members of a religious institution. The main purpose of this research is to use content analysis to measure the Detroit News' and the Detroit Free Press' coverage of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese before and during the Detroit newspaper strike, which took place July 13, 1995 to February 20, 1997. Members of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Detroit claimed the newspapersgave unfavorable and less coverage of the Archdiocese during this period. Background to the Detroit Newspaper Strike and role of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Detroit In 1989 a joint operating agreement (JOA) allowed the formation of the Detroit Newspaper Agency (DNA), which managed distribution and sales for the Detroit News and Detroit Free Press newspapers. Two years later the newspaper conflictarose when the DNA approached the following unions with a cost-cutting plan: Newspaper Guild Local 22, Teamsters Locals 372 and 2040, Graphic Communications International Union Local 13N and 289M and Typographical Union Local 18. Through buyouts and attrition, the plan would have eliminated 109 distribution and production jobs. The plan also wanted to substitute the mandatory wage increases for all newsroom employees witha merit-pay system. On the night of July 13, 1995, the DNA and the unions failed to reach an agreement, which jumpstarted the Detroit Newspaper Strike.4 The Detroit Newspapers' coverage of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Detroit before and during the Newspaper Strike 4 An estimated 2,500 workers walked out on their jobs at the News and the Free Press. Before the strike legally ended on Valentine's Day, February 14, 1997,many people, businesses and organizations in Detroit chose sides in the labor conflict.5 One of those organizations was the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Detroit,6 which at that time served approximately 1.4 million Catholics across six counties in southeastern Michigan.' On August 15, 1995 Adam Cardinal Maida, the Archbishop of Detroit, releaseda formal statement on the strike.8 The statement referred to Catholic social teaching, which historically supported workers' right to strike. The statementwas sent to the local media and the hundreds of parishes, schools and institutions under the Archdiocese. Managementat the Detroit News criticized this statement because it did not take into consideration the News' point of view.9 Research issue:Lack of Church and Press Research A literature search produced no scholarly work exclusivelyon the coverageor relationship between the Detroit newspapers and the Archdiocese of Detroit. Themost similar study was Ragains' thesis which used narrative description and found that thecoverage of Fr. Charles E. Coughlin in four large newspapers, three of whichwere from Detroit, had no influence on Coughlin's electoral results in 1936 election in general.'° A review of literature on the coverage of religion in thepress was more successful. Evidence exists however, that in recent years, scholarly interest in increasing religious coverage is growing. A Los Angeles Times religion columnist John Dart and theRev. Jimmy Allen, a Southern Baptist church leader and experton religious communication, surveyed newspaper reporters and editors for a 1993 study titled Bridging the Gap: Religion and the News Media. The study found the press refrains from covering religion because religious stories are rarely newsworthy, there's a lack of understanding of different religions, and the "hard evidence for the supernatural" is scant."

  • IPC Administration Manual
    PARALYMPIC ADMINISTRATION MANUAL • PARALYMPIC MOVEMENT POWERED BY The IPC’s mission is to develop Paralympic Sport around the world at all levels, and ensure the means necessary to support future growth of the Paralympic Movement. Behind this stated objective, constant hard work is being conducted on the ground – men and women through their love of sport and devotion to the Paralympic Movement use resources available to bring Paralympic Sport to life across the five continents. Without them, ParalympicS port would simply not exist. This commitment ultimately drives the continual evolution of National Paralympic Committees (NPC) and the growing events calendar. The popularity and development of Paralympic Sport now more than ever depends on the ability of our NPCs to develop and deliver quality training and competition opportunities for their athletes. For this reason, the IPC is providing managers and administrators the means which allow them to accomplish their work in the best manner possible. This Paralympic Administration Manual is a further demonstration of the IPC’s commitment in providing the Paralympic Movement with the resources needed to accomplish their goals. You will find it an extremely useful tool in developing Paralympic Sport in your region and country. This publication was made possible through funding from the German Ministry of the Interior, and adds to a wide range of programmes developed in partnership with the IPC Academy. It will contribute to raising the general quality of NPCs and Paralympic events, and will assist the growth of Paralympic Sport at all levels. On behalf of the IPC, I would like to thank all of the NPCs and their commitment to Paralympic Sport.

  • Running Head: Paralympic Athletes in the Media
    IMAGES OF ATHLETES WITH DISABILITIES: AN ANALYSIS OF PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE 2012 PARALYMPIC GAMES By MYUNG JU LEE BRENT HARDIN, COMMITTEE CHAIR KAGENDO MUTUA OLEG SINELNIKOV MARGARET STRAN JOHN VINCENT A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Kinesiology in the Graduate School of the University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2013 Copyright Myung Ju Lee 2013 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to explore how the print media portrayed athletes with disabilities during the 2012 Paralympic Games in London. An analysis was conducted of photographic images of the 2012 Paralympic Games and athletes in 12 newspapers with top circulation from 5 countries during the 12 days of competition, August 29 through September 9, 2012. Eleven categorical variables were examined to determine how the Paralympic athletes were represented in print media photographs. Chi-square analysis was used to look at the relationships between variables. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, frequencies, and crosstabs with chi-square analysis to compare the differences between the variables. A one- way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the presentation of an association between the variables. The level of significance was set at p < 0.05. An overall difference in portrayal between male and female as well as between domestic and foreign athletes was found in the amount, coverage type, and disability of the athletes featured in the photographic images. Males were pictured more often than females, reinforcing hegemonic ideals of able-bodiedness and masculinity. Even though athleticism was an important theme in the photographs of female athletes with disabilities, the performance of female athletes with disabilities was often pictured with particular emphasis on medals without their disability.

  • Impact Case Study (Ref3b)
    Impact case study (REF3b) Institution: University of Brighton Unit of Assessment: C26 Sport and Exercise Sciences, Leisure and Tourism Title of case study: Improving athletes’ preparation for optimal sporting performance ICS [2] 1. Summary of the impact The impact of this research has been to improve the performance of elite athletes and safeguard the well-being of Paralympians. It has affected the management of athletes’ dynamic physiological responses and advanced the regulatory frameworks of sporting bodies. This has changed the strategies of the USA Olympic Committee, the International Paralympic Committee and the British Paralympic Association. The indirect impact of this primary research has been to change the routine training practices of recreational athletes and influence the advice on exercise given to military personnel and people with disabilities. 2. Underpinning research Origins: Sport and exercise science research at the University of Brighton (UoB) has its origins in the 1980s. Dedicated laboratories were established and equipped to measure human function in exercise and in many sports, from rest to maximum effort, and UoB had one of the first laboratories to have a dedicated environmental chamber. Environmental investigations utilise the specially constructed chambers to control heat, cold, humidity and oxygen partial pressure and focus on the application of fundamental environmental physiology to the exercising human athlete. The research has been characterised by rigorous analysis of the methodologies and their application to the assessment and enhancement of sports and exercise performance across different activities and environmental conditions, for people of all abilities and those with disabilities [references 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4].
