Our previous President, Brecque Keith, unfortunately had to make an early departure from her term this summer, so as Vice-President, I assumed her duties. I have been a member of MAA since 1998 and have been serving on the board in various positions since 2001. That seems like a long time! Actually, it has moved along pretty quickly. Our organization has been through a lot of changes, and there will be more to come, as time marches on. My goal as your new President is to keep MAA responsive to the needs of its members while keeping us up to date with the changes in the archival profession. Updating the way we communicate, the way we govern ourselves and the projects we undertake are all on the agenda. One of the exciting updates is that we have changed the format of our Web site. It is now a blog format. While much of the same types of information are available, the new format allows us to more easily post information, keeping the site timely and relevant. In addition, we continue to provide Open Entry and the MAA Listserv. I invite anyone who would like to participate in other venues, such as Twitter or Facebook, to contact a board member to discuss your ideas further. I announced at the annual meeting that the board wishes to update the organization’s governing documents. Indeed, the first phase, which focused on improving the grammar, language and overall readability issues of MAA’s Constitution and Bylaws, was approved by the membership. Phase Two will be more substantive in nature and will address issues such as board member duties, conference planning, membership categories and committee structure. As the board works through these issues in the coming year, I invite comments and input from all members. If you have a concern, question or comment, please contact me or attend one of the board meetings. Finally, I hope to reinvigorate the initiative to reach out to all our members who have joined Michigan Archival Association in hopes of networking with fellow archivists – not just at the annual meeting, but throughout the year. I would like to start by launching a project that will partner archivists from larger institutions with “small shops” that run with few or no professional staff, part-time staff or volunteers. My hope is that we can share knowledge, experience and resources with each other to improve the state of Michigan’s historical records, for the betterment of all of us. That’s a big goal to be sure, but certainly one that our organization should be undertaking as best it can. Please check the Web site <http://miarchivists.wordpress.com/> for further announcements about the development of this project. In closing, I want to thank everyone who participated or helped plan this year’s conference in Marshall, Michigan. We had wonderful programs, speakers and food! Schuler’s hospitality and facility was outstanding, and I think people enjoyed themselves.

MURROW’S CRITICISM OF BROADCAST JOURNALISM: IMPLICATIONS FOR BROADCAST JOURNALISM EDUCATORS By Aaron Dale Quanbeck The Supervisory Committee certifies that this disquisition complies with North Dakota State University’s regulations and meets the accepted standards for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE: Mark Meister, Ph.D. Chair Zoltan Majdik, Ph.D. Paul Nelson, Ph.D. Abby Gold, Ph.D. Kevin Brooks, Ph.D. Approved: Nov. 2, 2012 Mark Meister, Ph.D. Date Department Chair ABSTRACT Corporate influence has been an ongoing concern for working journalists. Even in the early days of television, Edward R. Murrow saw a bleak future for society if broadcasters succumbed to corporate greed and failed in their responsibility to inform the public. This rhetorical study of Murrow's 1958 speech to the Radio-Television News Directors Association, guided by Perelman's theory of the universal audience and presence, argues that Murrow’s speech prioritized broadcast journalism’s obligation to a democratic society and warned that commercial intrusion was impacting the profession’s moral obligations. At the same time, in appealing to a particular audience, Murrow deemphasized the role of individuals in the process, including both working journalists and the viewing audience.

    Michigan Supreme Court Order Lansing, Michigan December 18, 2019 Bridget M. McCormack, Chief Justice 159160 David F. Viviano, 159201 Chief Justice Pro Tem Stephen J. Markman Brian K. Zahra In re HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Richard H. Bernstein REQUEST FOR ADVISORY OPINION Elizabeth T. Clement REGARDING CONSTITUTIONALITY OF Megan K. Cavanagh, 2018 PA 368 & 369 SC: 159160 Justices ___________________________________________/ In re SENATE REQUEST FOR ADVISORY OPINION REGARDING CONSTITUTIONALITY OF 2018 PA 368 & 369 SC: 159201 ___________________________________________/ On July 17, 2019, the Court heard oral argument on the requests by the House of Representatives and the Senate for an advisory opinion on the constitutionality of 2018 PA 368 and 2018 PA 369. On order of the Court, the requests are again considered, and they are DENIED, because we are not persuaded that granting the requests would be an appropriate exercise of the Court’s discretion. CLEMENT, J. (concurring). I concur in the Court’s order denying the Legislature’s request for an advisory opinion in this matter. I believe that this Court lacks jurisdiction under Const 1963, art 3, § 8 to issue an advisory opinion after the effective date of the legislation being scrutinized, and thus must refrain from doing so here notwithstanding the observations made by Justice ZAHRA about the importance of the legal issues presented. I believe we must instead wait for an “actual controvers[y] where the stakes of the parties are committed and the issues developed in adversary proceedings.” Request for Advisory Opinion on Constitutionality of 1978 PA 33, 402 Mich 968, 968 (1978). I. FACTS The Michigan Constitution allows Michigan voters to exercise various forms of direct democracy, one of which is to initiate legislation via petitions signed by a requisite number of voters.

  • “Edward R. Murrow and the Positive Power of Journalism”
    “Edward R. Murrow and the Positive Power of Journalism” Abby Fennewald Leonard Steinhorn, SOC University Honors Spring 2013 Abstract: Can a journalist change society? In the case of Edward R. Murrow, the answer is yes, and this paper explores Murrow’s broadcasting career as a case study of the positive social impact that journalism can have. The paper will frame its examination with a discussion of how media influence the public at large and how the media's impact changed with the advent of broadcast journalism. Murrow drew national attention to previously underreported issues and parts of our society, and he pioneered broadcast journalism techniques and visual storytelling while doing so. Murrow drew large audiences because of his personal skill as a broadcaster as well as his willingness to challenge the status quo and speak truth to power. Today, the legacy of his work lives on as he, like other journalists whose stories influenced society, has been immortalized by Hollywood. Today, in a time when the role and style of journalism is constantly changing, and when resources for investigative journalism shrink, it is important to study and highlight practitioners who show that good reporting and afflicting the comfortable represent the best in American journalism. “He was the conscience of all of us.” — Daniel Schorr Edward R. Murrow has a unique place in the pantheon of television broadcasters. Not only was he one of the earliest — making a transition from radio to television early in the new medium’s history — he was one of the best. His level of dedication to his craft was unparalleled, and continues to be the gold standard.
