    POLITICS AND PANDEMIC IN 1918 KANSAS CITY A THESIS IN History Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS by SUSAN DEBRA SYKES BERRY M.L.I.S., University of Iowa, 1998 B.S.N., University of Florida, 1989 Kansas City, Missouri 2010 ©2010 SUSAN DEBRA SYKES BERRY ALL RIGHTS RESERVED POLITICS AND PANDEMIC IN 1918 KANSAS CITY Susan Debra Sykes Berry, Candidate for the Master of Arts Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2010 ABSTRACT The 1918-1919 Spanish influenza was the deadliest pandemic in history and citizens of Kansas City died in larger numbers due to politics. Kansas City government was under the control of two powerful political bosses, Democrats Tom Pendergast and Joe Shannon, who had an uneasy agreement to split the cities’ patronage jobs equally between them. This arrangement created a dysfunctional and unwieldy public health response to the pandemic which occurred at the end of 1918. Since the public health response was so inadequate, quasi-governmental institutions tried to step into the vacuum. The Chamber of Commerce, the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, and the American Red Cross were much more influential and active in Kansas City than in most cities during the pandemic, and their leadership ensured that Kansas City would not be remembered in history as having the worst response in the country. This abstract of 141 words is approved as to form and content. ___________________________________ Lynda Payne, Ph.D. Associate Professor Department of History ii The undersigned, appointed by the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, have examined a thesis titled “Politics and Pandemic in 1918 Kansas City,” presented by Susan Debra Sykes Berry, candidate for the Master of Arts degree, and hereby certify that in their opinion it is worthy of acceptance.

Submitted by Dan Messineo Department of Journalism and Technical Communication In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Science Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2015 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Joe Champ Greg Luft Kathleen Kelly Copyright by Dan Messineo 2015 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT DOING IT ALONE: DO VIDEO JOURNALISTS AFFECT THE QUALITY AND CREDIBILITY OF TELEVISION NEWS? The recent financial pressures on local TV news stations have forced many owners and managers to cover the day’s events with fewer employees. Many station owners have turned to video journalists to cut newsroom costs. The video journalist, also called “backpack journalist,” does it all. These intrepid reporters conduct interviews; write scripts, shoot and edit their video. With so many stations turning to video journalism, this research explores how and to what extent video journalists affect the quality and credibility of TV news. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT.................................................................................................................................... ii THE MORNING SHOW BEGINS IN 30 MINUTES ................................................................... 1 THE MORNING SHOW BEGINS IN 15 MINUTES ................................................................... 3 THE MORNING SHOW BEGINS ...............................................................................................

    Andy Rooney Risked His Life to Report Some Of

    Andy Rooney risked his life to report some of the most dramatic events of World War II, but he only became famous decades later for joking about the quirks of everyday life. Andrew Aitken Rooney was born in Albany on January 14, 1919. While he attended the Albany Academy Andy worked as a newspaper copy boy, delivering stories from reporters’ typewriters to the editors’ desks. He dreamed of being a football star when he enrolled at Colgate University. Once he recognized his limits as an athlete, Rooney grew more interested in creative writing and journalism. His career plans were interrupted when he was drafted into the military in May 1941. After basic training in Fort Bragg, North Photo courtesy of the Times Union, Carolina, Rooney was assigned to the 17th Field Albany, NY Artillery Regiment. When the U.S. entered World War II, the 17th was stationed in Great Britain. Rooney wrote a weekly newsletter for the regiment before he was transferred to the main military newspaper, Stars and Stripes. He became part of the “Writing 69th,” a group of war correspondents who ew on Air Force bombing missions over Germany. Some of his colleagues died with their crews. He co-authored Air Gunner, an account of these dangerous missions, in 1944. Later, Rooney was one of the rst U.S. war correspondents to see evidence of the Holocaust in captured Nazi concentration camps. After the war ended, Rooney didn’t become a full-time journalist. He joined the CBS radio and television network in 1949 as a writer for Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scouts, an entertainment program.

Note: This 1939 map was created by George Allen Root and later reproduced by the Kansas Turnpike Authority. The original drawing was compiled by Root and delineated by W. M. Hutchinson using information provided by the Kansas Historical Society. Introduction By the summer of 1864, Americans had been killing each other on an epic scale for three years. As the country tore itself apart in a “great civil war,” momentous battles were being waged at Mansfield, Atlanta, Cold Harbor, and a host of other locations. These killing grounds would become etched in history for their tales of bravery and sacrifice, but, in the West, there were only sporadic clashes between Federal and Confederate forces. Encounters at Valverde in New Mexico Territory, Mine Creek in Linn County, Kansas, and Sabine Pass in Texas were the exception rather than the norm.
