398 Neponset Ave, Dorchester, MA | (617) 2823200 | May 30, 2013 the Reporter Page 21 Dorchester Reporter “The News and Values Around the Neighborhood” Volume 30 Issue 22 Thursday, May 30, 2013 50¢ Parade Sunday: Dot’s Day to shine More than 100,000 people are expected to turn out for this Sunday’s 50th anniver- sary Dorchester Day Parade. The parade starts at 1 o’clock from the corner of Richmond Street and Dorchester Avenue in Lower Mills. This is the 109th Dorchester Day cel- ebration. The modern- day parade, which started in 1963, will be packed with marching bands, floats and politi- cians. Dorchester Day started back in 1904 as a commemoration of the town’s settlement in 1630— one month before Boston. In more recent times, Dorches- ter Day has become a celebration of the multi-cultural mix that is modern-day Dorches- ter. The emphasis is on bands, dancers and colorful floats that highlight the neighbor- hood’s robust civic and cultural life.

  • We Hate That School: a Content Analysis of Rivalries and Student-Run Barstool Sports Accounts
    We hate that school: A content analysis of rivalries and student-run Barstool Sports accounts by Jonathan Cody Friesen B.S., Kansas State University, 2019 A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2021 Approved by: Major Professor Dr. Jacob Groshek Copyright © Jonathan Friesen 2021. Abstract Rivalries are a unique aspect of college life. The longstanding traditions that these rivalries bring to individuals provide a sense of excitement on campus. Still, sometimes these rivalries can cross a line between competition on the field and a feud in the stands. As technology has developed and the role of social media is constantly changing, the trash-talk between fans of rival schools is becoming more public and, in some cases, more uncivil. The study examines multiple college sports rivalries and interactions on Twitter among student-run Barstool Sports accounts. Specifically, this study looks into the behavior towards rivals using eight Barstool Sports student-run accounts across four different college rivalries. This study found six different characteristics, which can inform future studies of individual fan behavior on social media, three of which are negative, namely (1) Glory out of reflected failure. (2) Replying to the rival account. (3) Targeting the rival using stereotypes. The study found three positive instances that these accounts relied upon: (4) Using humor relatable to students at the school. (5) Creating conversations online for fans of the school. (6) Expressing pride for alumni or university.

Sullivan, Jr., Commissioner Jack Murray, Deputy Commissioner for Parks Operations Resource Management Plans (RMPs) provide guidelines for management of properties under the stewardship of the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR). They are intended to be working documents for setting priorities, enabling the Department to adapt to changing fiscal, social and environmental conditions. The planning process provides a forum for communication and cooperation with park visitors and the surrounding communities to ensure transparency in DCR’s stewardship efforts. Stony Brook Reservation, the largest forested open space in the City of Boston, is one of the oldest properties in the Massachusetts state park system. This RMP represents both a connection to the historic past, and a guide to the future of DCR’s Stony Brook Reservation. This RMP also represents the initial step of DCR’s efforts to prepare RMPs for every state forest, park and reservation across the Commonwealth. Richard K.
