August 6, 2020 VIA E-MAIL To: Democratic National Committee Democratic Governors Association Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Democratic Attorneys General Association Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Re: CBS News Dear Chair/Executive Director: The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) represents 775,000 active members and retirees working in numerous industries across the United States and Canada. One of those industries is broadcast media. The IBEW has a collective bargaining agreement covering employees working for CBS Broadcasting Inc., and specifically CBS News. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us the essential nature of television news outlets and in turn the employees who do this work. These good union jobs support families. In the early days of the pandemic, the IBEW exhibited tremendous flexibility to our signatories, including CBS News, while they worked to figure out the new normal that is producing news in the COVID-19 environment. Yet months later, after layoffs impacting IBEW members, and despite the many grievances we have filed, CBS News continues with great frequency to violate our collective bargaining agreement by using non-union camera crews and third-party vendors to conduct interviews for their news programs including “CBS This Morning” and “Face the Nation.” In this busy political season, we ask you to keep these facts in mind when booking appearances with CBS News. We encourage you to inquire as to whether an IBEW crew will be assigned to shoot your interview. If the answer is no, we urge you to insist that CBS News assign our hardworking IBEW members to shoot your interview. Thank you for standing up for good paying union jobs. Sincerely yours, Lonnie R. Stephenson International President LRS:nl .

Analysis of Talk Shows Between Obama and Trump Administrations by Jack Norcross — 69
Analysis of Talk Shows Between Obama and Trump Administrations by Jack Norcross — 69 An Analysis of the Political Affiliations and Professions of Sunday Talk Show Guests Between the Obama and Trump Administrations Jack Norcross Journalism Elon University Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements in an undergraduate senior capstone course in communications Abstract The Sunday morning talk shows have long been a platform for high-quality journalism and analysis of the week’s top political headlines. This research will compare guests between the first two years of Barack Obama’s presidency and the first two years of Donald Trump’s presidency. A quantitative content analysis of television transcripts was used to identify changes in both the political affiliations and profession of the guests who appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” CBS’s “Face the Nation,” ABC’s “This Week” and “Fox News Sunday” between the two administrations. Findings indicated that the dominant political viewpoint of guests differed by show during the Obama administration, while all shows hosted more Republicans than Democrats during the Trump administration. Furthermore, U.S. Senators and TV/Radio journalists were cumulatively the most frequent guests on the programs. I. Introduction Sunday morning political talk shows have been around since 1947, when NBC’s “Meet the Press” brought on politicians and newsmakers to be questioned by members of the press. The show’s format would evolve over the next 70 years, and give rise to fellow Sunday morning competitors including ABC’s “This Week,” CBS’s “Face the Nation” and “Fox News Sunday.” Since the mid-twentieth century, the overall media landscape significantly changed with the rise of cable news, social media and the consumption of online content.

Program examples include: news special reports, national presidential addresses and press conferences, local presidential events, guest interviews of administration officials, appearances of Ford family members, and the 1976 Republican Convention and Ford-Carter debates. In addition, WHCA created weekly compilation tapes of selected stories from network evening news programs.
