  • Media Coverage of Ceos: Who? What? Where? When? Why?
    Media Coverage of CEOs: Who? What? Where? When? Why? James T. Hamilton Sanford Institute of Public Policy Duke University [email protected] Richard Zeckhauser Kennedy School of Government Harvard University [email protected] Draft prepared for March 5-6, 2004 Workshop on the Media and Economic Performance, Stanford Institute for International Studies, Center on Development, Democracy, and the Rule of Law. We thank Stephanie Houghton and Pavel Zhelyazkov for expert research assistance. Media Coverage of CEOs: Who? What? Where? When? Why? Abstract: Media coverage of CEOs varies predictably across time and outlets depending on the audience demands served by reporters, incentives pursued by CEOs, and changes in real economic indicators. Coverage of firms and CEOs in the New York Times is countercyclical, with declines in real GDP generating increases in the average number of articles per firm and CEO. CEO credit claiming follows a cyclical pattern, with the number of press releases mentioning CEOs and profits, earnings, or sales increasing as monthly business indicators increase. CEOs also generate more press releases with soft news stories as the economy and stock market grow. Major papers, because of their focus on entertainment, offer a higher percentage of CEO stories focused on soft news or negative news compared to CEO articles in business and finance outlets. Coverage of CEOs is highly concentrated, with 20% of chief executives generating 80% of coverage. Firms headed by celebrity CEOs do not earn higher average shareholder returns in the short or long run. For some CEOs media coverage equates to on-the-job consumption of fame.

EIN 13−1038730 Name United States Bankruptcy Court Southern District of New York Date case filed for chapter 11 3/27/17 Case number: 17−22445−rdd Official Form 309F (For Corporations or Partnerships) Notice of Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Case 12/15 For the debtor listed above, a case has been filed under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. An order for relief has been entered. This notice has important information about the case for creditors, debtors, and trustees, including information about the meeting of creditors and deadlines. Read both pages carefully. The filing of the case imposed an automatic stay against most collection activities. This means that creditors generally may not take action to collect debts from the debtor or the debtor's property. For example, while the stay is in effect, creditors cannot sue, assert a deficiency, repossess property, or otherwise try to collect from the debtor. Creditors cannot demand repayment from the debtor by mail, phone, or otherwise. Creditors who violate the stay can be required to pay actual and punitive damages and attorney's fees. Confirmation of a chapter 11 plan may result in a discharge of debt. A creditor who wants to have a particular debt excepted from discharge may be required to file a complaint in the bankruptcy clerk's office within the deadline specified in this notice.

SHERIFF May 2011 Copyright Nicole R. Sheriff 2011 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT A substantial amount of research has been done on Hurricane Katrina and its effects on New Orleans, Louisiana. However, few studies have focused on how the Mississippi Gulf Coast was affected by the hurricane. The purpose of this study is to bring attention to the reporting efforts of WLOX-TV and the Sun Herald newspaper to cover Hurricane Katrina. This case study analyzes the practices WLOX and the Sun Herald used to cover the hurricane and to explore which practices could be implemented in other newsrooms in the future.

    PRESSPASS April 24, 2013 The Bozeman Daily Chronicle makes changes to obits OBITUARY SUBMISSION GUIDELINES “As we did with weddings and engagements a few years ago, we added color to the obituary page to improve the overall design and to address the wishes of our readers. The addition of symbols in obituaries is a trend that sev- eral outside vendors were offering in various — and costly — design packages. We figured we could do it ourselves. Even though the changes to the page included an overdue rate increase, the improvements have been positively received, both by readers and the funeral homes that provide the bulk of our obituaries.” − Nick Ehli, Managing Editor Bozeman Daily Chronicle SERVING MONTANA NEWSPAPERS SINCE 1885 PAGE 2 My name is Linda Fromm MNACalendar and on June 4, 2013, I will celebrate 34 years with the APRIL MNA, serving as office 25 University of Montana School of Journalism Dean Stone Lecture manager and advertising Eli Sanders - Pulitzer Prize Winning Associate Editor of coordinator.
