AAP National Conference News Articles, CME, Advocacy, Social Media AAP National Conference: Pediatricians urged to use media to make a difference by Corey Nason Reese, Correspondent By their very natures, pediatricians are influencers. When they feel passionately about an issue, they should consider using the media to connect with people and try to make a difference. This encouragement came from Richard Besser, M.D., FAAP, ABC News' chief health and medical editor, in his keynote address at the opening plenary session of the AAP National Conference & Exhibition Saturday. "What I want to do is make a case for why I think that media matters as a way of trying to make connections," Dr. Besser said. "With our words, we (pediatricians) explain, we comfort, we reassure, we educate, we shape behavior and we inspire. That's exactly what I try and do when I'm on the air." In his keynote address Saturday, Dr. Besser said he is a big fan of using social media to reach the younger generation. Dr. Besser, a pediatrician and infectious diseases specialist, provides medical analysis and reports for all ABC News programs and platforms, including "World News Tonight," "Good Morning America" "20/20," "Nightline," ABC News Radio and "This Week with George Stephanopoulos." "When I look at that camera, every time, I am imagining that I am seeing either one of my patients or one of their parents, and that's the tone I use when I am on the air," he explained. "Each of us is here because we care passionately about the lives of children and are trying to make an impact in children's lives in different ways." Dr. Besser joined ABC News in 2009 after serving at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for 18 years. Just prior to leaving the CDC, he was promoted to acting director for six months. During that period, he led the CDC's response to the H1N1 influenza pandemic, which focused intensely on communicating and educating the public - often in the media, for which he received the Surgeon General's Medallion. In addition to his traditional media presence, Dr. Besser is active on Facebook and Twitter. Each week, he hosts a Twitter chat #abcDrBchat. In last week's chat, he and others from national health agencies discussed issues surrounding the flu. Over the course of an hour, he said there were 868 active participants and 2,600 tweets that Copyright © 2016 American Academy of Pediatrics News Articles, CME, Advocacy, Social Media reached a potential of 49 million people with flu information. "I am a big fan of social media and the reason for that is that you need to reach people where they are, where they get their information. If you are looking to reach the younger generation, they are not watching our shows. Our (television) demographic is much older," he said. "A lot of people are getting their information on social media." Dr. Besser said his goal isn't to make TV doctors, but he wants pediatricians to consider offering their opinion to the media the next time they call. "And you think that 'Wow! This is a way that I could actually get out a message to the community that could make a difference.' You are pediatricians, and people want to know what you have to say."

  • 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.

  • ABC This Week with George Stephanopoulos April 13, 2008
    ABC This Week with George Stephanopoulos April 13, 2008 Former President Jimmy Carter spoke with ABC's George Stephanopoulos from Katmandu. Carter is in Nepal to observe the historic elections, and the former president will soon visit the Middle East. GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS, ABC NEWS: Good morning. We begin today with our exclusive headliner from Katmandu, former President Jimmy Carter. President Carter, welcome. I want to get to your mission to the Middle East, but first, you are in Nepal to monitor the elections that were held this week. And you've called these elections the most transformational and profound you've ever monitored. Why? JIMMY CARTER, FORMER U.S. PRESIDENT: Well, this is the 70th election in which the Carter Center has been employed as monitors. And this one will totally transform the structure of a society and the political situation and military situation in Nepal. It will be the end, for instance, of 12 years of conflict, both military and political -- a war that lasted for 10 years and cost about 13,000 lives -- and this will bring peace. Secondly, it would transform completely the nature of the government. For 240 years, Nepal has had a Hindu kingdom -- the only one on earth. And now, it will have a democratic republic. And the third thing I think is significant is that, for the first time, large numbers of marginalized people -- more than 50 percent of their total population -- will be guaranteed a place in the political process. The Madhesis, who live down on the Indian border, Dalits, who are Untouchables, ethnic groups -- and particularly women.

    Ci Na educator GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS------ ofMIT---i MARC J. CHELEMER Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, MA 0'2139 F ONE WERE TO select current chemical engineer­ I ing faculty members whose innovative research, visionary thinking, and creativity match those of the original educators in the field, George Stephanopoulos would stand high on the list. By his prodigious output of research papers, his contribution to teaching and education through textbooks and monographs, his rapport with and motivation of students, and his ad­ vancement of knowledge through a willingness to tackle new, ill-defined problems, George has distin­ guished himself as one of the best professors teaching today. His insight and keen intellect have made great strides in our understanding of his chosen fields of process synthesis, control systems engineering, and knowledge-based computer applications to these and other problems. Most surprising, George is only thir­ teen years out of the student life himself and is only forty years old. To understand his contributions, it is appropriate to examine the beginnings of George's al­ ready important career in chemical engineering. THE STUDENT Stephanopoulos was born on June 1, 1947, in the port city of Kalamata, Greece, near the ruins of an­ cient Sparta. He attended the National Technical Uni­ versity of Athens, receiving his diploma in chemical engineering in 1970 with the highest honors among all sytem with catalyst decay, contained "many traps for graduating engineering students, including the the unwary student," but George avoided them all, "Thomaidion" and "Chryssovergeion" Awards. From grasping concepts very quickly and integrating them there, he moved to Hamilton, Ontario, where he into his thesis.
