Don Wycliff, public editor, Chicago Tribune – ASNE Awards Board The minutes of the April meeting were approved. The banking resolution was approved. President McGuire expressed that there were two issues that he wished to discuss: the future of ASNE and a proposal regarding minority association involvement in ASNE. McGuire addressed the fact that since September 11 events, ASNE membership and involvement has declined, noting that this comes as no surprise considering the economic conditions. The first discussion was focused on how ASNE can better serve the needs of editors and on problems that ASNE faces as an organization. Board members raised issues they felt were problem areas for ASNE. Among these were the ASNE-APME relationship, committee chairs being assigned to only one-year terms, the extent of disconnect between the ASNE board and ASNE members, getting small newspapers involved more with ASNE, and a lack of welcoming/mentoring for new members. After some explanation on how APME operates by Ed Jones, there was a lengthy discussion about how to forge a better relationship between ASNE and APME. As a result, the following motion was put forth by Ed Jones and seconded by Frank Denton: Be it resolved that ASNE and APME enter frank and open dialogue about the best way to serve the needs of American editors. Approval was unanimous. Tim McGuire invited further discussion by the board. A number of issues were raised, including mentoring new ASNE members, offering multiple memberships to newspapers, the relevance of ASNE conventions to members and possible improvements of the ASNE Web site. Tim McGuire appointed a committee comprised of Charlotte Hall as chair, Karla Harshaw, Pam Johnson and Rick Rodriguez to address the issue of multiple memberships and asked that they bring a proposal to the spring meeting for consideration. Charlotte Hall recommended that a program for mentoring new ASNE members be initiated. Tim McGuire asked Wanda Lloyd and Sue Deans to take a look at the mentoring issue and work with David Zeeck to fit new ideas into the convention program. Tim McGuire informed the board about the previous day’s meeting of the Diversity Committee, with the presidents of the minority associations and Unity. The purpose of this meeting was to brainstorm on retention issues with the key players involved. 1515 A discussion regarding a proposal to include minority association presidents as ex-officio board members ensued. Peter Bhatia stated that he had strong reservations. However, he noted that he strongly supported the idea of holding diversity roundtables each year. A number of others said that they supported the proposal. Frank Denton moved that the motion be amended to include the minority representatives as guests during the committee portion of the meeting rather than as ex-officio members. Legal counsel Dick Schmidt and Kevin Goldberg, along with executive director Scott Bosley, examined the ASNE bylaws and determined that for minority representatives to become ex-officio members, it would require a bylaw change and a 2/3 majority vote by those present at the following convention. At the conclusion of the board discussion on this subject the following motion was proposed by Diane McFarlin: ASNE will invite the presidents of NABJ, AAJA, NAHJ, NAJA and Unity, or a print representative of their executive committees, to attend the portion of the ASNE board meetings devoted to committee reports for the purpose of strengthening the interaction between ASNE and the largest minority journalist organizations as they work together to enhance the diversity of American newsrooms. These association representatives will be encouraged to participate in all other board functions, ASNE committee work and special projects. They will receive free convention registration. A "Diversity Roundtable" will be hosted by ASNE in conjunction with the ASNE convention each year, probably Tuesday morning before the Small Newspapers luncheon. This roundtable will include the presidents and executive directors of Unity, NAMME, NABJ, AAJA, NAHJ, NAJA; the officers, executive director and diversity director of ASNE; and the chairs of certain ASNE committees, such as Diversity, Small Newspapers, Leadership, Membership and Education for Journalism. This roundtable will allow for a review of the latest ASNE diversity census and a focused discussion of issues and initiatives related to diversity in our newsrooms. Approval was unanimous. The committee chairs joined the board at 11:30 am, prior to lunch Vice President McFarlin referred attendees to the list of her committee chairs for 2002-03. She said that her theme for the year will be “sharing the passion for journalism.” Diane noted that the Fall board meeting will be October 10-12 in Sarasota, Fla. at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. She also informed the board that there may be a fact-finding trip to Cuba at the conclusion of the board meeting. Peter Bhatia, reporting as secretary and also for the Membership Committee in chairman Hunter George’s absence, said that the board would need to approve all membership applications. He noted that all the applications were routine, except for the two from Australia: Cratis Hippocrates (deferred from April) and Mark Scott. He recommended that the board approve both applicants, as well as all other applicants. The following Secretary’s report was approved, and all the membership applications accepted: 1516 Since the board met in April, there have been three deaths and 53 resignations and ineligibilities, including 32 dropped for nonpayment of 2001 dues. There are seven members to be transferred to the retired rolls. The board will consider 33 applications for membership, including one held from the April meeting, one reinstatement for a late dues payment, and two former members. Assuming all are elected and the transfers approved, membership will stand at 827 dues paying; 644 active/distinguished service and 183 retired. This compares to 848 at the same time last year.

The 50-ton marble tablet, engraved with the 45 words of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, was displayed on the four-story-high, 74-foot-tall Pennsylvania Avenue façade of the Newseum, a nonprofit museum founded by the Freedom Forum and dedicated to the five freedoms of the First Amendment. Work has begun to remove the stone pieces from the building, which was sold to Johns Hopkins University after the Newseum closed in 2019. The tablet remained the property of the Freedom Forum, and will be a gift to the National Constitution Center. The tablet will be reconfigured and emplaced along a 100-foot-wide wall on the National Constitution Center’s Grand Hall Overlook, the second-floor atrium overlooking historic Independence Mall. “We are thrilled to bring this heroic marble tablet of the First Amendment to the National Constitution Center, to inspire visitors from across America and around the world for generations to come,” said National Constitution Center President and CEO Jeffrey Rosen. “It’s so meaningful to bring

COUGHLIN AND THE UNION PARTY BY FOUR METROPOLITAN DAILY NEWSPAPERS DURING THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN OF 1936: A STUDY by Charles C. Ragains This study is the result of the writer's inter- est in the Reverend Father Charles E. Coughlin, a Roman Catholic priest who was pastor of a parish in Royal Oak, Michigan, and whose oratory attracted national attention and considerable controversy; in the political and social ferment in the United States during the 1930's; and in the American press. The questions that motivated the study were: How did the nation's newspapers react to Coughlin, who is regarded as one of the foremost dema- gogues in American history, at the height of his career? Did the press significantly affect the priest's influence and power one way or the other? How did newspapers in- terpret Coughlin and his actions to their readers? Because of the length of Coughlin's public career (nearly sixteen years) it has been necessary to select a salient event or period on which to concentrate. Charles C. Ragains The period selected is the presidential election campaign of 1936. This span of approximately five and one-half months was chosen for several reasons.

Reg. 41789 Staff Presentation PROJECT SUMMARY The General Services Administration (GSA), on behalf of Johns Hopkins University (JHU), has submitted proposed amendments to the Pennsylvania Avenue Plan and related concept site development plans for 555 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW. The site is bounded by 6th Street on the west, C Street on the north, Pennsylvania Avenue on the south, and the Consulate for the Canadian Government on the east. It is currently home to the Newseum; after 11 years, the museum will be moving from its current location after it closes on December 31, 2019. JHU is in the process of purchasing 555 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, and proposes a major renovation of the building resulting in an additional 55,000 gross square feet of interior space. This additional space will be captured as part of an interior atrium and floor slab reconfiguration, resulting in a redesign of the exterior façade. As the result of a proposed conversion from the existing museum use to an innovative, state-of-the-art educational facility and additional gross square footage, an amendment is required to ensure the project conforms with the Pennsylvania Avenue Plan.

Lhamon ’96 JD Ann Olivarius ’77, ’86 MBA, ’86 JD Impact Award Araceli Campos ’99 BA C’Ardiss Gardner Gleser ’08 BA Kamala Lopez BA Rebecca Reichmann Tavares ’78 BA Vera Wells ’71 BA Platinum Sponsor National Press Club, Washington D.C. Dear Yale Alums and Friends, We are thrilled to welcome you to the YaleWomen Award for Excellence celebration! When YaleWomen was founded in 2011 – following the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the coeducation of Yale College and the 140th anniversary of the coeducation of the Graduate & Professional Schools – it was a “big idea” full of possibilities. During these first eight years, we have grown – notably as an all-volunteer organization -- in many different ways: in numbers and complexity, driven by the clarity and focus that come with being mission-centered and market-smart. And the importance of our work has become more evident. This year’s Award for Excellence celebration exemplifies the power of individual women to catalyze change and to inspire us to exert ourselves to take action on issues we believe in. The opportunity for all of us here today to honor Anita F. Hill ’80 JD, Catherine E. Lhamon ’96 JD, and Ann Olivarius ’77, ’86 MBA, ’86 JD as Lifetime Achievement awardees; and Araceli Campos ’99 BA, C’Ardiss Gardner Gleser ’08 BA, Kamala Lopez BA, Rebecca Reichmann Tavares ’78 BA, and Vera Wells ’71 BA as our inaugural Impact awardees, is both extraordinary and humbling.

  • SUING THEIR WAY INTO the NEWSROOM: HOW WOMEN at the DETROIT NEWS CHANGED JOURNALISM by AMANDA PALMEIRA
    SUING THEIR WAY INTO THE NEWSROOM: HOW WOMEN AT THE DETROIT NEWS CHANGED JOURNALISM by AMANDA PALMEIRA A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Honors in the Major in Journalism in the College of Sciences and in The Burnett Honors College at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Fall Term 2012 Thesis Chair: Dr. Kimberly Voss i © 2012 Amanda Palmeira ii ABSTRACT The women’s liberation movement in the 1970s and 1980s utilized various means for activism and demonstrations, but women also used the judicial system to fight for equality in the workplace. This study focuses specifically on the field of journalism and how female reporters used the courts to fight the gender discrimination that was widespread and unbridled before the creation of legislation that outlawed it. The lawsuit filed by Mary Lou Butcher and approximately 90 other women against The Detroit News is one such case that exemplifies the process of filing a gender discrimination lawsuit, as well as the events that led to the suits and the impact that it and similar lawsuits had on the field of journalism and the women’s liberation movement as a whole. Using textual analysis to examine the coverage of these lawsuits by industry literature and by the publications challenged by the lawsuits demonstrates what the field of newspapers and magazines was like during the time of the cases. Comparing the same media during the times of the lawsuits and post-settlement reveal how they contributed to an adjusted view of female journalists and aided women’s acceptance in American newsrooms.
