Mehdi Courage in Journalism Award Dr. M.T. Mehdi was a pioneer in Arab American journalism, the publisher of ACTION Newspaper, a leading English- language Arab American newspaper. Dr. Mehdi was a high profile champion of Arab and Palestinian rights, appearing often on national television debates and discussions. As he championed Arab and Palestinian rights, Dr. Mehdi remained dedicated to accuracy, justice and a fearless determination to face the bias that exists in the main- stream media. The Mehdi Courage in Journalism Award was created in 1999 to recognize the achievements of individuals in the media and in communications who adhere to these principles of accuracy, justice and courage. Past recipients include Tribune columnist Salim Muwakkil, RAWI, columnist Charlie Reese, the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, TV anchor Mike Monseur, and the Beirut Times newspaper.

This 1999 conference features dozens of professional writers who are here to share their experiences with you, to help all of us improve our networking, and to also encourage all of us to seek to improve our writings and become more successful. This conference also features two exciting events: The first is the 1999 QALAM Award in Writing contest.

It stands for Quest for Arab-American Literature of Accomplishment and Merit (themed by Mohja Kahf). It goes without saying that without Lisa’s help, this First Annual event which is intended to showcase the best entries of writing from our community might not have taken place.

AN IDEOLOGICAL ODYSSEY: EVOLUTION OF A REFORMER ROB WARDEN* INTRODUCTION When the U.S. Supreme Court narrowly and temporarily struck down the death penalty in Furman v. Georgia in 1972, holding that its arbitrary imposition amounted to cruel and unusual punishment,1 Justice Thurgood Marshall theorized in a concurring opinion that the average citizen, if fully informed of the realities of capital punishment, would “find it shocking to his conscience and sense of justice.”2 The majority’s reasoning resonated with me—as Justice Potter Stewart put it, the death penalty was “so wantonly and freakishly imposed” that it was “cruel and unusual in the same way that being struck by lightning is cruel and unusual”3—but Marshall’s thesis did not.

  • Recruiting for Diversity
    Recruiting for Diversity CONTENTS Introduction 3 National Diversity Resources for Broadcasters 4 Regional Diversity Resources for Broadcasters 12 On-line Resources 32 RTNDF Mission Statement and Programs 35 2 ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______ Recruiting For Diversity: A News Manager’s Guide: For more information, contact the Radio and Television News Directors Foundation (RTNDF), 1600 K Street, N.W., Suite 700, Washington, DC 20006, (202) 659-6510, Fax (202) 223-4007, www.rtndf.org. INTRODUCTION Since 1972, RTNDA and RTNDF have tracked the progress of people of color and women in television and radio news careers, particularly in news management positions. Based on this annual baseline data, RTNDF has shown that journalists of color have made some, but not nearly enough, progress into the upper ranks of our nation’s radio and television newsrooms. RTNDA’s Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Committee, chaired by Paul Davis, generated a number of new ideas to address this issue, one of which was to create and distribute this guide of recruiting resources for women and people of color. The goal of the Newsroom Diversity Project is to increase the number of people of color and women in television news careers, with the strongest emphasis on news management. This is accomplished through the dual strategies of better preparing students and young journalists, as well as providing current news management with tools needed to move toward their diversity goals. This is the seventh edition of the RTNDF directory. Recruiting for Diversity: A News Managers’ Guide updates the previous edition’s listings of more than 200 local and national public and private resources for finding candidates for jobs in electronic news.

Faraone A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2013 ABSTRACT URBAN RIFTS AND RELIGIOUS RECIPROCITY: CHICAGO AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, 1965-1996 Dominic E. Faraone Marquette University, 2013 From the late 1960s onward, a sequence of unusually transformative, combustible, and sometimes alarming urban phenomena beset the city of Chicago and bred considerable turmoil and uncertainty: post-industrial transition; street gang activity and unprecedented levels of interpersonal violence; the political ascendancy in 1983 of African American reform candidate Harold Washington to the mayor’s seat; gay liberation; and AIDS. Each accentuated a host of social and/or spatial rifts—between the deteriorating city and comparatively thriving suburbs; the economically impoverished, culturally alienated, and frequently isolated inner city and the rest of Chicago; machine and reform politicians; Black lawmakers and White “ethnics”; sexual majorities and minorities; and the physically sick and the healthy. These developments also challenged the historic liberalism, confidence, and institutional breadth of Chicago Catholicism during the tenures of Cardinal Archbishops John Cody (1965-1982) and Joseph Bernardin (1982-1996).

    SMA CENTCOM Reach-back Reports This is Part 1 of a 9 part series of SMA Reach back responses to questions posed by USCENTCOM. Each report contains responses to multiple questions grouped by theme. 13 January 2017 1 At the request of United States Central Command (USCENTCOM), the Joint Staff, Deputy Director for Global Operations (DDGO), jointly with other elements in the JS, Services, and U.S. Government (USG) Agencies, has established a SMA virtual reach-back cell. This initiative, based on the SMA global network of scholars and area experts, is providing USCENTCOM with population based and regional expertise in support of ongoing operations in the Iraq/Syria region. The Strategic Multi-Layer Assessment (SMA) provides planning support to Commands with complex operational imperatives requiring multi-agency, multi-disciplinary solutions that are NOT within core Service/Agency competency. Solutions and participants are sought across USG and beyond. SMA is accepted and synchronized by Joint Staff (JS/J-3/DDGO) and executed by ASD(R&E)/EC&P/RRTO. 2 Part 1: Consolidated Responses to CENTCOM questions based on Messaging Responses were submitted to the following CENTCOM Questions: What are the predominant and secondary means by which both large (macro-globally outside the CJOA, such as European, North African and Arabian Peninsula) and more targeted (micro- such as ISIL-held Iraq) audiences receive ISIL propaganda? ........................................................... 4 What are the USCENTCOM and the global counter-ISIL coalition missing from counter-messaging efforts in the information domain? ................................................................................................ 26 What must the coalition do in the information environment to achieve its objectives in Iraq and Syria and how can it deny adversaries the ability to achieve theirs? – Part 1 ............................

This work is dedicated to citizens around the world who speak truth to power, who defy authority to wrest control of their government from special interests, the insiders, the arrogant and unresponsive. “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed it’s the only thing that ever has.” - Margaret Mead “Let me give you a word of the philosophy of reform. The whole history of the progress of human liberty shows that all concessions yet made to her august claims have been born of earnest struggle. The conflict has been exciting, agitating, all-absorbing, and for the time being, putting all other tumults to silence. It must do this or it does nothing. If there is no struggle there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation are men who want crops without plowing up the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.
