I only wish I had access to this fully developed intellectual framework and the courses of action it suggests while still in government. —General Michael V. Hayden (retired) Former Director of the CIA Director of the NSA e problem of secrecy is double edged and places key institutions and values of our democracy into collision. On the one hand, our country operates under a broad consensus that secrecy is antithetical to democratic rule and can encourage a variety of political deformations. But the obvious pitfalls are not the end of the story. A long list of abuses notwithstanding, secrecy, like openness, remains an essential prerequisite of self-governance. Ross’s study is a welcome and timely addition to the small body of literature examining this important subject. —Gabriel Schoenfeld Senior Fellow, Hudson Institute Author of Necessary Secrets: National Security, the Media, and the Rule of Law (W.W. Norton, May 2010). ? ? The topic of unauthorized disclosures continues to receive significant attention at the highest levels of government. In his book, Mr. Ross does an excellent job identifying the categories of harm to the intelligence community associated NI PRESS ROSS GARY with these disclosures. A detailed framework for addressing the issue is also proposed. This book is a must read for those concerned about the implications of unauthorized disclosures to U.S. national security. —William A.

    C-SPAN FIRST LADIES/JACQUELINE KENNEDY May 09, 2014 9:56 a.m. ET (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) JACQUELINE KENNEDY: And I think every first lady should do something in this position to help the things she cares about. I just think that everything in the White House should be the best -- the entertainment that's given here. The art of children is the same the world over. And so, of course, is our feeling for children. I think it is good in a world where there's quite enough to divide people, that we should cherish the language and emotion that unite us all. (END VIDEO CLIP) SUSAN SWAIN: Jacqueline Kennedy's 1,000 days as first lady were defined by images -- political spouse, young mother, fashion icon, advocate for the arts. As television came of age, it was ultimately the tragic images of President Kennedy's assassination and funeral that cemented Jacqueline Kennedy in the public consciousness. Good evening and welcome to C-SPAN's series "First Ladies: Influence and Image.” Tonight, we'll tell you the story of the wife of the 35th president of the United States, named Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. And we have two guests at the table for the next two hours to tell you more about her life story. Michael Beschloss, presidential historian, author of many books on the presidency, and has a special focus over the years on the Cold War era and the Kennedy administration. Thanks for being here.

  • The American Experience with Diplomacy and Military Restraint I
    PART I: THE AmERICAN EXPERIENCE WITH DIPLOMACY AND MILITARY RESTRAINT i. Orphaned Diplomats: The American Struggle to Match Diplomacy with Power Jeremi Suri E. Gordon Fox Professor of History and Director, European Union Center of Excellence, University of Wisconsin, Madison Benjamin Franklin spent the American Revolution in Paris. He had helped to draft the Declaration of Independence in the summer of 1776, one of the most radical documents of the eighteenth century—sparking rebellion on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Serving as a representative for the Continental Congress in France during the next decade, Franklin became a celebrity. He was the enlightened idealist from the frontier, the man of principled action who enthralled onlookers in the rigid European class societies of the 1770s and ’80s. Franklin embodied the American critique of Old World society, economy, and diplomacy. He was one of many American revolutionaries to take aim at the degenerate world of powdered wigs, fancy uniforms, and silver-service dinners where the great men of Europe decided the fate of distant societies. Franklin was a representative of the enduring American urge to replace the diplomacy of aristocrats with the openness and freedom of democrats.1 Despite his radical criticisms of aristocracy, Franklin was also a prominent participant in Parisian salons. To the consternation of John Adams and John Jay, he dined most evenings with the most conservative elements of French high society. Unlike Adams, he did not refuse to dress the part. For all his frontiers- man claims, Franklin relished high-society silver-service meals, especially if generous portions of wine were available for the guests.

  • The Potential of Leaks: Mediation, Materiality, and Incontinent Domains
    THE POTENTIAL OF LEAKS: MEDIATION, MATERIALITY, AND INCONTINENT DOMAINS ALYSSE VERONA KUSHINSKI A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN COMMUNICATION AND CULTURE YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO AUGUST 2019 © Alysse Kushinski, 2019 ABSTRACT Leaks appear within and in between disciplines. While the vernacular implications of leaking tend to connote either the release of texts or, in a more literal sense, the escape of a fluid, the leak also embodies more poetic tendencies: rupture, release, and disclosure. Through the contours of mediation, materiality, and politics this dissertation traces the notion of “the leak” as both material and figurative actor. The leak is a difficult subject to account for—it eludes a specific discipline, its meaning is fluid, and its significance, always circumstantial, ranges from the entirely banal to matters of life and death. Considering the prevalence of leakiness in late modernity, I assert that the leak is a dynamic agent that allows us to trace the ways that actors are entangled. To these ends, I explore several instantiations of “leaking” in the realms of media, ecology, and politics to draw connections between seemingly disparate subjects. Despite leaks’ threatening consequences, they always mark a change, a transformation, a revelation. The leak becomes a means through which we can challenge ourselves to reconsider the (non)functionality of boundaries—an opening through which new possibilities occur, and imposed divisions are contested. However, the leak operates simultaneously as opportunity and threat—it is always a virtual agent, at once stagnant and free flowing.

ARTICLES SELF-CENSORSHIP AND THE FIRST AMENDMENT ROBERT A. SEDLER* I. INTRODUCTION Self-censorship refers to the decision by an individual or group to refrain from speaking and to the decision by a media organization to refrain from publishing information. Whenever an individual or group or the media engages in self-censorship, the values of the First Amendment are compromised, because the public is denied information or ideas.' It should not be sur- prising, therefore, that the principles, doctrines, and precedents of what I refer to as "the law of the First Amendment"' are designed to prevent self-censorship premised on fear of govern- mental sanctions against expression. This fear-induced self-cen- sorship will here be called "self-censorship bad." At the same time, the First Amendment also values and pro- tects a right to silence.

  • The Views of the U.S. Left and Right on Whistleblowers Whistleblowers on Right and U.S
    The Views of the U.S. Left and Right on Whistleblowers Concerning Government Secrets By Casey McKenzie Submitted to Central European University Department of International Relations and European Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Erin Kristin Jenne Word Count: 12,868 CEU eTD Collection Budapest Hungary 2014 Abstract The debates on whistleblowers in the United States produce no simple answers and to make thing more confusing there is no simple political left and right wings. The political wings can be further divided into far-left, moderate-left, moderate-right, far-right. To understand the reactions of these political factions, the correct political spectrum must be applied. By using qualitative content analysis of far-left, moderate-left, moderate-right, far-right news sites I demonstrate the debate over whistleblowers belongs along a establishment vs. anti- establishment spectrum.

  • Gli Ombudsman Dei Giornali Come Strumento Di Gestione Della Qualità Giornalistica
    Gli ombudsman dei giornali come strumento di gestione della qualità giornalistica Tesi di Cristina Elia Direttore di tesi Prof. Stephan Russ-Mohl Presentata alla Facoltà di Scienze della comunicazione Università della Svizzera italiana per il titolo di Dottore in Scienze della comunicazione Maggio 2007 Giuria Direttore di tesi: Prof. Stephan Russ-Mohl, Università della Svizzera italiana Revisore interno: Prof. Bertil Cottier, Università della Svizzera italiana Revisore esterno: Prof. Gianpietro Mazzoleni, Università degli Studi di Milano Questa ricerca è stata svolta presso la Facoltà di scienze della comunicazione dell’Università della Svizzera italiana, Lugano (Svizzera). ©2007, Cristina Elia Abstract Gli ombudsman della stampa sono particolarmente visibili nei paesi anglosassoni e in Svezia, ma sono presenti anche in altri paesi europei e in America latina. Sono state fatte numerose ricerche sulle origini, il ruolo e l’efficacia dei mediatori anglosassoni. Degli ombudsman attivi nel resto del mondo, invece, si sapeva poco. In occasione del suo quarantesimo compleanno – era il 1967 quando a Louisville, Kentucky, il primo ombudsman della stampa entrò in servizio – questa ricerca colma tale mancanza. Lo studio, prevalentemente descrittivo, analizza lo stadio di sviluppo di questa figura a livello internazionale, individua alcune esigenze cruciali per il suo futuro e formula raccomandazioni per migliorarne l’efficacia. L’analisi empirica – realizzata tramite questionario – evidenzia analogie e differenze in diverse culture giornalistiche. L’analisi dei dati è caratterizzata da un approccio comparativo che si concretizza nel raffronto fra tre grandi gruppi di analisi – «sfera europea», «sfera latina» e «sfera anglosassone» – e nella comparazione con ricerche precedenti. L’analisi empirica è completata da una breve analisi delle rubriche, che offre una panoramica sui temi trattati e le modalità di presentazione.
