    EXAMINING THE MEANINGFULNESS OF WORK OF ORGANIZATIONALLY EMPLOYED JOURNALISTS AND SELF-EMPLOYED MEDIA ENTREPRENEURS By KORTNI F. ALSTON A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2016 © 2016 Kortni F. Alston To William, Julia, and William Alston, Jr. who have always inspired me. As extraordinary parents and my amazing sibling, thank you for allowing me to live the life that I have always imagined. Your continuous support made this all possible. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Aristotle said it best, “Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work” (Aristotle, n.d., para. 1). It has been a pleasure and an honor working with my dissertation committee. I would like to thank Dr. Julie Dodd, Dr. Johanna Cleary, Dr. Churchill Roberts, and Dr. Ryan Duffy. These four esteemed scholars shared their expertise, direction, and guidance. I thank Dr. Dodd for serving as my dissertation chair. It was Dr. Dodd’s work and teaching philosophy that I was so drawn to. After teaching more than 11,000 students at the University of Florida, she is retiring as a professor. Her student-centered approach with understanding the needs of her mentees is exemplary. I feel so fortunate to have learned from such an extraordinary educator. She has inspired me on every turn. I thank Dr. Johanna Cleary serving on my committee after her retirement. She has inspired me on so many levels. Dr. Cleary worked as a news director and later became a scholar. Her drive is matched by her compassionate support.

  • Eligibility Rules
    Chapter 6 Christopher R. Deubert I. Glenn Cohen Holly Fernandez Lynch Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics at Harvard Law School Eligibility Rules Each of the leagues has rules governing when individuals become eligible to play in their leagues. While we fully acknowledge the unique nature and needs of the leagues and their athletes, we believe the leagues can learn from the other leagues’ policies. Leagues’ eligibility rules affect player health in two somewhat opposite directions: (1) by potentially forcing some players who might be ready to begin a career playing for the leagues to instead continue playing in amateur or lesser professional leagues with less (or no) compensation and at the risk of being injured; and, (2) by protecting other players from entering the leagues before they might be physically, intellectually, or emotionally ready. As will be shown, the NCAA’s Bylaws are an impor- tant factor in considering the eligibility rules and their effects on player health and thus must be included in this discussion. This issue too is discussed in our Recommendations. 206. \ Comparing Health-Related Policies & Practices in Sports In this Chapter we explain each of the leagues’ eligibility Nevertheless, the leagues’ eligibility rules have been gener- rules as well as the rules’ relationship to player health, if ally treated as not subject to antitrust scrutiny.
