Final Edition: Journalism According to Jack and Jim Knight Final Edition: Journalism According to Jack and Jim Knight John S. (Jack) and James (Jim) Knight were Akron brothers and prominent national figures, who owned and ran the Akron Beacon Journal newspaper in the 1900s. The two brothers, who inherited the Beacon Journal from their father, worked together to build up that newspaper into a strong editorial voice and business force that helped steer the city and the region. Eventually, the two parlayed the Akron paper into the flagship of a powerful, influential newspaper chain that included the Miami Herald, Detroit Free Press, San Jose Mercury News and the Philadelphia Inquirer. By 1981, the Knight-Ridder newspaper chain included 32 newspapers in 17 states, employed 15,000 workers and had a circulation of 3.6 million daily. The brothers also founded the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation (Miami), which remains one of the largest philanthropic organizations in the nation. Knight-Ridder Newspapers did not fare as well. The prize-winning newspaper group, at one time the nation's largest, was sold to the McClatchy Co. in 2006 for $4.5 billion in cash and stock. Since then, McClatchy has sold off 12 Knight-Ridder newspapers to other corporations. The Beacon Journal was sold to Black Press Ltd., a Canadian publishing company. The hour-long documentary tells the story of the Knight family, the Beacon Journal and the rise and fall of the Knight-Ridder newspaper group. The documentary was written and produced by Paul Jacoway, of Paul R. Jacoway Productions of Akron, and Kathleen Endres, distinguished professor of Communication at The University of Akron, and directed by Jacoway. Three years in the making and narrated by David Lieberth, deputy mayor of the City of Akron, the documentary features interviews with popular local newspaper writers Abe Zaidan and Michael Douglas, Beacon Journal Editor Bruce Winges, and Knight Foundation President Alberto Ibarguen. The documentary was underwritten by a grant from the Ohio Humanities Council, a state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. 1 Chapter Summaries Chapter 1: Introduction -- 9 minutes The first chapter of the documentary previews the topics to be discussed in the remainder of the program. Chapter I talks about how a powerful newspaper chain started with one family in Akron, Ohio. The documentary talks about civic journalism and its importance to the city. It also deals with the wider issues involved in newspaper publishing today. This chapter also talks about how the Knight family gets to Akron and establishes its place in newspaper publishing. Chapter 2: The Knight Editorial Philosophy Evolves -- 6 minutes This chapter of the documentary outlines the evolving editorial philosophy of John S. ("Jack") Knight. Knight wrote an editorial column for decades. In 1968 at the age of 74, he won the Pulitzer Prize, the highest award given in journalism. This chapter also outlines how the two brothers split corporate responsibilities -- Jack Knight had editors report to him while all general managers (responsible for all business operations) reported to James ("Jim") Knight. Chapter 3: Knight Communities -- 7 minutes The chapter of the documentary outlines the Knight brothers' commitment to the communities where their newspapers appeared. Jack Knight had well connected friends; and he had input into the leadership of cities where his newspapers appeared, especially in Akron, Ohio. The section also outlines how Jack Knight believed in editorial independence at the newspapers he owned. Jack Knight believed that editorial independence led to better journalism and greater profits. Chapter 4: A Love for Politics -- 5 minutes This chapter of the documentary explains how important Jack Knight was in politics. With an editorial column read by more than one million subscribers nationwide, Knight wielded enormous political influence. This chapter outlines how presidents and presidential candidates visited him in the newsroom. But Knight didn't necessarily like Washington, D.C., or politics. Chapter 5: Get the Truth & Print It -- 2 minutes The section of the documentary talks about Jack Knight's columns in the 1960s and puts his opposition to the Vietnam War and support for protesters in historical context. This chapter also talks about the broader issues of the 1960s. 2 Chapter 6: The Making of a Pulitzer -- 5 minutes This chapter of the documentary deals with the Beacon Journal's coverage of the shootings at Kent State University, for which the newspaper won the Pulitzer Prize, the highest award given in journalism. When Jack Knight retired as editorial chairman of Knight-Ridder, he and his newspapers had won 26 Pulitzer Prizes. Chapter 7: Journalism in the Hands of Others -- 17 minutes This chapter details why the Knight corporation went public in 1969. It also outlines why the company merged with Ridder to become Knight-Ridder in 1974 and talks the differences in values between the two companies. This section also deals with the death of Johnny Knight, grandson of John S. Knight and heir apparent to the Knight newspaper fortune. Chapter 8: The Future -- 7 minutes This chapter looks at the future of journalism in America. Can newspapers survive? Should the government bail out the newspapers? Newspaper editors ponder their future and give their perspective on the future of newspaper journalism. 3 Suggestions for Using the Curriculum The chapter summaries can be used to preview each chapter.

  • Media Coverage of Ceos: Who? What? Where? When? Why?
    Media Coverage of CEOs: Who? What? Where? When? Why? James T. Hamilton Sanford Institute of Public Policy Duke University [email protected] Richard Zeckhauser Kennedy School of Government Harvard University [email protected] Draft prepared for March 5-6, 2004 Workshop on the Media and Economic Performance, Stanford Institute for International Studies, Center on Development, Democracy, and the Rule of Law. We thank Stephanie Houghton and Pavel Zhelyazkov for expert research assistance. Media Coverage of CEOs: Who? What? Where? When? Why? Abstract: Media coverage of CEOs varies predictably across time and outlets depending on the audience demands served by reporters, incentives pursued by CEOs, and changes in real economic indicators. Coverage of firms and CEOs in the New York Times is countercyclical, with declines in real GDP generating increases in the average number of articles per firm and CEO. CEO credit claiming follows a cyclical pattern, with the number of press releases mentioning CEOs and profits, earnings, or sales increasing as monthly business indicators increase. CEOs also generate more press releases with soft news stories as the economy and stock market grow. Major papers, because of their focus on entertainment, offer a higher percentage of CEO stories focused on soft news or negative news compared to CEO articles in business and finance outlets. Coverage of CEOs is highly concentrated, with 20% of chief executives generating 80% of coverage. Firms headed by celebrity CEOs do not earn higher average shareholder returns in the short or long run. For some CEOs media coverage equates to on-the-job consumption of fame.

    Knight News Challenge Casting the Net Wide for Innovation A quest for fresh ideas and a dose of humility drive the Knight News Challenge BY CHRISTOPHER CONNELL THE KNIGHT NEWS CHALLENGE reviewers, meeting at the foundation’s headquarters in a Miami skyscraper overlooking Biscayne Bay, were divided over one intriguing entry. A 25-year-old freelance tech reporter and blogger wanted to pioneer a new, public subscription model for investigative journalism. David Cohn wanted to launch a website in San Francisco where reporters could pitch ideas for stories and invite the public to contribute small amounts, on the order of $10 to $50, to underwrite the investigations. The public – the crowd – would decide which stories to go after. When enough money came in – as little as a few hundred – as much as several thousand dollars, the reporter would go out and do the job. Spot.Us, as Cohn dubbed his brainchild, would publish the results on its website, but also look for other media outlets for the work. It wasn’t that people didn’t think it was a good idea. But there That the lean, scruffy Cohn could go from graduate were a lot of questions and much student at the Columbia School of Journalism to media discussion about special interests innovator capable of placing stories in The New York Times seemed, at the time, a pipedream.
