Here are three pictures for which I would love to have identification of the folks in them. The one with the kids in the launch and the man playing the accordian ( Lady of Spain , anyone?) may come from 1956. The one of the couple enjoying lunch alfresco on the clubhouse porch may be dated 1951. And the merry band of sailors, obviously not mere swabbies, just may be the race com- mittee in 1954.

The criminal conduct described in this Complaint is both highly complex and extremely high-tech - utilizing digital tools and computer/telephony 'hacking', allied media, social media and surreptitious surveillance as replacements for and enhancements to traditional work-place retaliation, extortion, physical threats, and professional/career assassination. Interestingly, this type of professional digital character-assassination (well-known in the political and movie/entertainment industries) is portrayed in a recent episode of the highly popular Showtime Network series, "Homeland." In this episode - entitled "Sock-Puppets" - the techniques described in this Complaint were used to destroy the reputation and public support of a new President-elect. 1 See http://www .newsbusters.org/blogs/culture/lindsay-kornickl20 17 /03/19/homeland-introduces-right- wing-fake-news-accounts Case 1:17-cv-02958-GBD Document 5 Filed 04/25/17 Page 2 of 34 2. For the uninitiated, such criminal activity will seem both bizarre and shocking. But, as shown by the many exhibits annexed to this Complaint, these activities have been long underway at Defendant Fox News, LLC ("Fox News"), and have continued unabated since the departure of Defendant Roger Ailes ("Ailes") from the network.

To understand Islamophobia in the United States in the context of religious pluralism, this article adopts Critical Discourse Analysis, under which two theories unfold: sourcing theory and framing theory. The sourcing analysis targeted the media voices monitoring the discourses and contributing to the discursive construction and interpretation of mosque proposal into an agenda-led image. The second theory is framing, which consists of including a perceived reality—in the news—, making it more salient, and presenting it to the audience. The data analyzed were collected from CNN and Fox News via Lexis Nexis online academic database. A total of 225 media transcripts—(n=138) Fox News and (n=87) CNN—constituted the text and were coded and analyzed using Atlas.ti data mining software program. The critical analysis has resulted in a number of 180 voices—e.g. journalists, politicians, academics, officials, 253 IJIMS: Indonesian Journal of Islam and Muslim Societies, Volume 8, Number 2, December 2018: 253-279 etc.

It is the state’s greatest asset for its economic development and its future, and has made its mark in the nation and the world. Calvert would be astounded by the depth and breadth of research activities, innovative educational programs, and the single-minded pursuit of excellence that are part of the University of Maryland today. Maryland is ranked 18th among the nation’s top public research universities by U.S. News & World Report, with 31 academic programs in the Top 10 and 92 in the Top 25. It is also ranked No. 37th in the world, according to the Institute of Higher Education at at Shanghai’s Jiao Tong University.

  • ABSTRACT Chicken Noodle News: CNN and the Quest for Respect

    ABSTRACT Chicken Noodle News: CNN and the Quest for Respect

    ABSTRACT Chicken Noodle News: CNN and the Quest for Respect Katy McDowall Director: Sara Stone, Ph.D. This thesis, focusing on Cable News Network, studies how cable news has changed in the past 30 years. In its infancy, CNN was a pioneer. The network proved there was a place for 24-hour news and live story coverage. More than that, CNN showed that 24-hour- news could be done cheaper than most of the era’s major networks. But time has changed cable news. As a rule, it is shallower, more expensive and more political, and must adapt to changing technologies. This thesis discusses ways CNN can regain its place in the ratings against competitors like Fox News and MSNBC, while ultimately improving cable news by sticking to its original core value: the news comes first. To accomplish this, this thesis looks at CNN’s past and present, and, based upon real examples, makes projections about the network’s (and journalism’s) future.
