  • Analysis of Talk Shows Between Obama and Trump Administrations by Jack Norcross — 69
    Analysis of Talk Shows Between Obama and Trump Administrations by Jack Norcross — 69 An Analysis of the Political Affiliations and Professions of Sunday Talk Show Guests Between the Obama and Trump Administrations Jack Norcross Journalism Elon University Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements in an undergraduate senior capstone course in communications Abstract The Sunday morning talk shows have long been a platform for high-quality journalism and analysis of the week’s top political headlines. This research will compare guests between the first two years of Barack Obama’s presidency and the first two years of Donald Trump’s presidency. A quantitative content analysis of television transcripts was used to identify changes in both the political affiliations and profession of the guests who appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” CBS’s “Face the Nation,” ABC’s “This Week” and “Fox News Sunday” between the two administrations. Findings indicated that the dominant political viewpoint of guests differed by show during the Obama administration, while all shows hosted more Republicans than Democrats during the Trump administration. Furthermore, U.S. Senators and TV/Radio journalists were cumulatively the most frequent guests on the programs. I. Introduction Sunday morning political talk shows have been around since 1947, when NBC’s “Meet the Press” brought on politicians and newsmakers to be questioned by members of the press. The show’s format would evolve over the next 70 years, and give rise to fellow Sunday morning competitors including ABC’s “This Week,” CBS’s “Face the Nation” and “Fox News Sunday.” Since the mid-twentieth century, the overall media landscape significantly changed with the rise of cable news, social media and the consumption of online content.

TRUMP STATEMENT ON VIEW ALL PREVENTING MUSLIM IMMIGRATION STATEMENTS (New York, NY) December 7th, 2015, -- Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's ANNOUNCEMENTS representatives can figure out what is going on. According to Pew Research, ENDORSEMENTS among others, there is great hatred towards Americans by large segments of the Muslim population. Most recently, a poll from the Center for Security ADS Policy released data showing "25% of those polled agreed that violence against Americans here in the United States is justified as a part of the global jihad" and 51% of those polled, "agreed that Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to Shariah." Shariah authorizes such atrocities as murder against non-believers who won't convert, beheadings and more unthinkable acts ARCHIVE that pose great harm to Americans, especially women. Mr. Trump stated, "Without looking at the various polling data, it is obvious to NOVEMBER 2016 anybody the hatred is beyond comprehension. Where this hatred comes from and OCTOBER 2016 why we will have to determine.

  • TLDR: TWITTER IS CHANGING EVERYTHING by Elizabeth
    #TLDR: TWITTER IS CHANGING EVERYTHING by Elizabeth Campbell Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Departmental Honors in the Department of Journalism Texas Christian University Fort Worth, Texas May 7, 2018 #TLDR: TWITTER IS CHANGING EVERYTHING Project Approved: Supervising Professor: Jean Marie Brown Department of Journalism Aaron Chimbel Department of Journalism Eric Cox, Ph.D Department of Political Science ABSTRACT Twitter. What some view as just a social media site to see and share ratings with dogs; politicians and journalists are now finding it a requirement of their daily jobs. Politicians are using Twitter in an attempt to circumvent the gatekeeping that media has performed for generations while journalists are trying to keep up and verify all the news sent through it. No one has relied more on Twitter than President Donald J. Trump who uses his account to not only get around the gatekeeping function of the press, but to change the news cycle all together. Elizabeth Campbell Thesis 2018 #TLDR: Twitter is Changing Everything @RealDonaldTrump. This simple Twitter handle has dramatically impacted the newscycle and the policy of the White House. Journalists have long been the primary gatekeepers of information. However, technology and the permeation of Twitter has allowed politicians to spread their messages directly to the people rather than have it filtered through editors and newsrooms. Social media and Twitter in particular has shifted the way that journalists cover politics. This thesis will examine how the role of gatekeeping has changed, and how one man, President Donald J. Trump, has used it to completely change the newscycle - in 280 characters or less.

  • Administration of Barack H. Obama, 2009 Remarks at the Radio And
    Administration of Barack H. Obama, 2009 Remarks at the Radio and Television Correspondents Association Dinner June 19, 2009 The President. Thanks to all of you. Thank you. Please, everybody, have a seat. Before I get started, as the father of two girls, can I just say how incredibly impressive those three young ladies were. Dad would be proud. To Heather and all the others who have made this evening possible, thank you so much. It is wonderful to be here. I want to express my appreciation for the opportunity to tell jokes that weren't funny enough for me to use when we did this 5 weeks ago. [Laughter] Whatever. [Laughter] The jokes may not be as good, but neither is the guest list. [Laughter] I'm just joking. For me, there's no contest. Why bother hanging out with celebrities when I can spend time with the people who made me one? [Laughter] I know where my bread is buttered. Plus, we have our own luminaries here in attendance. The junior Senator from Wyoming, John Barrasso, is here. [At this point, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs came to the podium and whispered in the President's ear.] I'm sorry, John Barasso skipped this evening. [Laughter] Let me tell you, though, for those who haven't met him, John Barrasso is the George Clooney of junior Senators from Wyoming. [Laughter] It is great to be here with so much talent from the world of TV and radio. Despite the flood of new media, I think your programming is more relevant than ever before.

  • Targeted Sampling from Massive Block Model Graphs with Personalized Pagerank∗
    Targeted sampling from massive block model graphs with personalized PageRank∗ Fan Chen1, Yini Zhang2, and Karl Rohe1 1Department of Statistics 2School of Journalism and Mass Communication University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706, USA Abstract This paper provides statistical theory and intuition for Personalized PageRank (PPR), a popular technique that samples a small community from a massive network. We study a setting where the entire network is expensive to thoroughly obtain or maintain, but we can start from a seed node of interest and \crawl" the network to find other nodes through their connections. By crawling the graph in a designed way, the PPR vector can be approximated without querying the entire massive graph, making it an alternative to snowball sampling. Using the degree-corrected stochastic block model, we study whether the PPR vector can select nodes that belong to the same block as the seed node. We provide a simple and interpretable form for the PPR vector, highlighting its biases towards high degree nodes outside of the target block. We examine a simple adjustment based on node degrees and establish consistency results for PPR clustering that allows for directed graphs. These results are enabled by recent technical advances showing the element-wise convergence of eigenvectors. We illustrate the method with the massive Twitter friendship graph, which we crawl using the Twitter API. We find that (i) the adjusted and unadjusted PPR techniques are complementary approaches, where the adjustment makes the results particularly localized around the seed node and (ii) the bias adjustment greatly benefits from degree regularization. Keywords Community detection; Degree-corrected stochastic block model; Local clustering; Network sampling; Personalized PageRank arXiv:1910.12937v2 [cs.SI] 1 Jul 2020 1 Introduction Much of the literature on graph sampling has treated the entire graph, or all of the people in it, as the target population.

  • Arthur F. Burns Fellowship Report 2016 Florian Danner – NBC, New
    Arthur F. Burns Fellowship Report 2016 Florian Danner – NBC, New York City/San Francisco Eines vorweg: Wer glaubt, bei einem NBC Fellowship auch beste Chancen auf Tickets für die Tonight Show mit Jimmy Fallon zu kriegen, der irrt. Die Tickets sind nicht nur am freien Markt sondern auch NBC-intern so begehrt, dass exakt zwei Stück pro Jahr (!) unter den weltweit 53.000 Mitarbeitern im NBCUniversal-Intranet verlost werden. Macht das ein Fellowship bei NBC weniger cool? Ganz im Gegenteil! Es muss so gegen 9.50 Uhr gewesen sein. Jedenfalls am Morgen des 4. August 2016. Einem meiner ersten Tage bei NBC. Als ein Kollege einen dieser entscheidenden, sehr amerikanischen Sätze zu mir gesagt hat. Für Donald Trump lief es gerade nicht so richtig rund. Er hatte sich ein Twitter-Gefecht mit den muslimischen Eltern eines gefallenen US-Soldaten geliefert, einen Veteranen lächerlich gemacht, der ihm sein Verdienstmedaille geschenkt hat, ein schreiendes Baby aus dem Saal werfen lassen und behauptet, ein Video gesehen zu haben, das zeigt wie Regierungsgeld in ein Flugzeug Richtung Iran geladen wird. Also, selbst für Trump-Standards eine turbulenteWahlkampfwoche. Jedenfalls eine Ladung an Nachrichten, die meine Sender zuhause in Europa für eine Live-Schalte zu mir anfragen ließ. Bei NBC war es in den ersten Tagen meines Fellowships durchaus respekteinflößend. Das gigantische Ausmaß des Headquarters im Rockefeller Center, die vielen hochdekorierten Journalistenlegenden, Interviewgäste am Set, denen wir in Europa ganze Sondersendungen widmen würden. Und dann ich, der Österreicher, der bitte eine Schalte heim liefern möchte. Eric Greenberg hat dann diesen Satz gesagt, der mich über mein gesamtes Fellowship begleiten würde.
