Reporters Editors When George Bush’s Pentagon doesn’t like what a reporter writes, it attempts a preemptive strike In the case of Tom Ricks, military reporter for the Washington Post, the Pentagon took the attack right to the heart of the enemy. Defense Department spokesman Larry DiRita first sent a letter of complaint to the Post; then he met with the paper’s top editors to press his points. 12/14/2003-12/20/2003PM Thursday, December 18, 2003 9/11 Chair: Attack Was Preventable CBSNews.com NEW YORK, Dec. 17, 2003 For the first time, the chairman of the independent commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks is saying publicly that 9/11 could have and should have been prevented, reports CBS News Correspondent Randall Pinkston. 7:50 AM Wednesday, December 17, 2003 It's Time for Plame-Case Reporters to Out the Administration Leakers! By Bernard Weiner Co-Editor, The Crisis Papers. December 16, 2003 Journalists do not reveal sources. It's what gives the Fourth Estate some of its clout: Officials, and lower-level whistleblowers, trust us to receive sensitive information and not get them in trouble by ratting on them. In Washington and in state capitols, officials leak information all the time, provide off-the-record statements to reporters, engage in "background" interviews without permitting themselves to be quoted by name or title. 7:37 AM Tuesday, December 16, 2003 Read All About It! From the Capture of Saddam to Prospects for Iraqi Stability-- Juan Cole's web page is a major resource Blog editor's note: I've recommended this site before, but given the capture of Saddam Hussein I think a reminder is in order to check out the web page of Juan Cole, a professor of history at University of Michigan, whose analysis of current events in Iraq is among the best informed of which I'm aware. Monday, December 15, 2003 Why 'USA Today' Probed Cluster Bombs in Iraq As New Report Claims 1,000 Casualties From Weapon By Seth Porges, Editor & Publisher DECEMBER 11, 2003 NEW YORK -- USA Today's front-page story Thursday about how the Pentagon "painted a misleading picture" about the use of cluster bombs in Iraq was born when reporter Paul Wiseman encountered Iraqis personally affected by these controversial weapons. 12/07/2003-12/13/2003PM Wednesday, December 10, 2003 The privatisation of war · $30bn goes to private military · Fears over 'hired guns' policy Ian Traynor Wednesday December 10, 2003 The Guardian Private corporations have penetrated western warfare so deeply that they are now the second biggest contributor to coalition forces in Iraq after the Pentagon, a Guardian investigation has established. 11/23/2003-11/29/2003 Saturday, November 29, 2003 Gag Order Leaves Troops, Reporters Speechless Mike Littwin Rocky Mountain News Tuesday 25 November 2003 Before the press was herded into the giant hangar in advance of George W. Bush's pep rally/photo op with the Fort Carson troops, we were given the rules. No talking to the troops before the rally. No talking to the troops during the rally. No talking to the troops after the rally. Mountain News 11/16/2003-11/22/2003 Friday, November 21, 2003 George W. Bush Loves Michael Jackson By William Rivers Pitt t r u t h o u t | Perspective Friday 21 November 2003 A number of explosions tore through the British consulate in Turkey today, killing scores of people. George W. Bush is in England, surrounded on all sides by enraged British citizens whose massive protests have required nearly every police officer in London to be put on the line of defense. 8:03 AM Thursday, November 20, 2003 Bush Trip to England Bumped As Television Shifts Into High Gear to Report on Jackson Arrest Warrant By Elizabeth Jensen Times Staff Writer November 20, 2003 [Blog Editor's note: There is no more clearcut example of how NEW YORK — President Bush was on an important trip to Britain, but it was an arrest warrant for Michael Jackson that prompted ABC, CBS and NBC to interrupt programming for special reports Wednesday. 3:24 PM Wednesday, November 19, 2003 Birnbaum v. Anne Garrels 18 NOVEMBER 2003 For many, Anne Garrels’s voice became the most trustworthy stream of information broadcast from Iraq. Robert Birnbaum, in on-line magazine The Morning News , has a frank discussion with the author and NPR Iraq correspondent, one of only 16 non- embedded journalists to remain in Baghdad for Operation Shock and Awe. 9:53 AM Pentagon Boosts Media Access in Iraq U.S. Hopes More Briefings Will Tell Their Side of the Story By Pauline Jelinek, Associated Press Writer [ Editor & Publisher web site] NOVEMBER 19, 2003 WASHINGTON -- (AP) As American troops step up their attacks on Iraqi resistance, U.S. occupation officials also are launching a media offensive under pressure from the White House to do a better job promoting the military campaign against insurgents. Part of the idea is to give the American public a better sense that U.S. troops are on the offensive and not just passively facing daily, deadly attacks from Iraqi guerrillas. & Publisher9:30 AM Tuesday, November 18, 2003 Media caught in Iraq's war of perceptions Many Americans have seen news coverage as overly negative, but mounting troop deaths test support for war. By Ann Scott Tyson | Correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor November 18, 2003 Just as news footage of Vietnam casualties slowly eroded public backing for that conflict, today's bold headlines on US military deaths in Iraq are revealing a ground truth that is, more swiftly, undercutting domestic support for the Iraq war. Some polls show that most Americans no longer believe removing Saddam Hussein was worth the loss of US lives; significant majorities now consider the 400-plus US casualties in Iraq "unacceptable." AM Call Me a Bush-Hater Molly Ivins, The Progressive November 14, 2003 [Blog Editor's note: While this blog usually concerns itself more directly with issues of media, war and foreign policy, I make an exception here by linking Molly Ivins' piece on the notion of "Bush Hating." It's the most succinct such analysis I've run into, and certainly the funniest.] Among the more amusing cluckings from the right lately is their appalled discovery that quite a few Americans actually think George W. Bush is a terrible president. 8:22 AM Gore: Decline of Newspapers Bad for Democracy Bemoans TV's Influence, Sees Hope in Web NOVEMBER 12, 2003 By Amber McDowell, Associated Press Writer NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- (AP) The "quasi-hypnotic influence" of television in the United States has fostered a complacent nation that is a danger to democracy, former Vice President Al Gore said this week. 11/09/2003-11/15/2003 Thursday, November 13, 2003 Media protest treatment in Iraq Letter to Pentagon accuses US troops of intimidation By Mark Jurkowitz, Globe Staff, 11/13/2003 Amid growing reports of journalists being harassed and intimidated by troops policing postwar Iraq, representatives of 30 media organizations, ranging from CNN and ABC to the Newhouse News Service and The Boston Globe, have signed a letter to the Pentagon raising concerns about what they view as an increasingly hostile reporting environment. 9:36 AM Tuesday, November 11, 2003 Jessica Lynch: An American tale How the media made her a star By Gary Dorsey Baltimore Sun Staff November 11, 2003 After the fog of war came the fog of media, followed by the fog of war and media, then clarifications and alternative views, then the fog of publicity and the war of competing media. Then Sunday night brought the start of sweeps week and a TV docudrama. Today, Veterans Day, brings the launch date for writer Rick Bragg's biography of former Iraqi POW Jessica Lynch, the West Virginia "get" girl being interviewed by Diane Sawyer on ABC tonight and appearing on the Today Show tomorrow, David Letterman on Friday, Larry King on Monday night and live at the Barnes & Noble store in Annapolis Monday afternoon AM Two POWs, one an American icon, the other ignored Jessica Lynch's story, some of it hyped, made her a star. Shoshana Johnson faded away By William Douglas Philadelphia Inquirer Washington Bureau WASHINGTON - Tomorrow [Sunday, Nov.9] , NBC will air its made-for-TV movie celebrating Army Pfc. Jessica Lynch, whose capture and dramatic rescue is the feel-good story of America's war in Iraq. But some African Americans don't feel so good about Lynch's story. Instead, they ask: What about Shoshana Johnson? Inquirer Did He Or Didn't He? Rumsfeld denies he ever made several pre-war statements BY ERIC ROSENBERG HEARST NEWSPAPERS Published Nov 9, 2003 (Blog editor's note: One of the ways in which official Washington manipulates journalism is to simply deny something. The only defense against such a practice is to carefully investigate such denials and see whether they are factually accurate. Here is an example of a journalist who went back and looked at the record, which clearly shows such a denial to be false.) WASHINGTON - In the lead-up to the U.S.

    The News Media Industry Defined

    Spring 2006 Industry Study Final Report News Media Industry The Industrial College of the Armed Forces National Defense University Fort McNair, Washington, D.C. 20319-5062 i NEWS MEDIA 2006 ABSTRACT: The American news media industry is characterized by two competing dynamics – traditional journalistic values and market demands for profit. Most within the industry consider themselves to be journalists first. In that capacity, they fulfill two key roles: providing information that helps the public act as informed citizens, and serving as a watchdog that provides an important check on the power of the American government. At the same time, the news media is an extremely costly, market-driven, and profit-oriented industry. These sometimes conflicting interests compel the industry to weigh the public interest against what will sell. Moreover, several fast-paced trends have emerged within the industry in recent years, driven largely by changes in technology, demographics, and industry economics. They include: consolidation of news organizations, government deregulation, the emergence of new types of media, blurring of the distinction between news and entertainment, decline in international coverage, declining circulation and viewership for some of the oldest media institutions, and increased skepticism of the credibility of “mainstream media.” Looking ahead, technology will enable consumers to tailor their news and access it at their convenience – perhaps at the cost of reading the dull but important stories that make an informed citizenry. Changes in viewer preferences – combined with financial pressures and fast paced technological changes– are forcing the mainstream media to re-look their long-held business strategies. These changes will continue to impact the media’s approach to the news and the profitability of the news industry.

    Mount Rushmore: The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy Brian Asher Rosenwald Wynnewood, PA Master of Arts, University of Virginia, 2009 Bachelor of Arts, University of Pennsylvania, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia August, 2015 !1 © Copyright 2015 by Brian Asher Rosenwald All Rights Reserved August 2015 !2 Acknowledgements I am deeply indebted to the many people without whom this project would not have been possible. First, a huge thank you to the more than two hundred and twenty five people from the radio and political worlds who graciously took time from their busy schedules to answer my questions. Some of them put up with repeated follow ups and nagging emails as I tried to develop an understanding of the business and its political implications. They allowed me to keep most things on the record, and provided me with an understanding that simply would not have been possible without their participation. When I began this project, I never imagined that I would interview anywhere near this many people, but now, almost five years later, I cannot imagine the project without the information gleaned from these invaluable interviews. I have been fortunate enough to receive fellowships from the Fox Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania and the Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia, which made it far easier to complete this dissertation. I am grateful to be a part of the Fox family, both because of the great work that the program does, but also because of the terrific people who work at Fox.

    Embedded Reporters: What Are Americans Getting? For More Information Contact: Tom Rosenstiel, Director, Project for Excellence in Journalism Amy Mitchell, Associate Director Matt Carlson, Wally Dean, Dante Chinni, Atiba Pertilla, Research Nancy Anderson, Tom Avila, Staff Embedded Reporters: What Are Americans Getting? Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has suggested we are getting only “slices” of the war. Other observers have likened the media coverage to seeing the battlefield through “a soda straw.” The battle for Iraq is war as we’ve never it seen before. It is the first full-scale American military engagement in the age of the Internet, multiple cable channels and a mixed media culture that has stretched the definition of journalism. The most noted characteristic of the media coverage so far, however, is the new system of “embedding” some 600 journalists with American and British troops. What are Americans getting on television from this “embedded” reporting? How close to the action are the “embeds” getting? Who are they talking to? What are they talking about? To provide some framework for the discussion, the Project for Excellence in Journalism conducted a content analysis of the embedded reports on television during three of the first six days of the war. The Project is affiliated with Columbia University and funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts. The embedded coverage, the research found, is largely anecdotal. It’s both exciting and dull, combat focused, and mostly live and unedited. Much of it lacks context but it is usually rich in detail. It has all the virtues and vices of reporting only what you can see.

WHITE LECTURE 3 The Theodore H. White Lecture on Press and Politics commemorates the life of the late reporter and historian who created the style and set the standard for contemporary political journalism and campaign coverage. White, who began his journalism career delivering the Boston Post, entered Har- vard College in 1932 on a newsboy’s schol- arship. He studied Chinese history and Oriental languages. In 1939, he witnessed the bombing of Chungking while freelance reporting on a Sheldon Fellow- ship, and later explained, “Three thousand human beings died; once I’d seen that I knew I wasn’t going home to be a professor.” During the war, White covered East Asia for Time and returned to write Thunder Out of China, a controversial critique of the American-supported Nationalist Chinese government.

    21472cover_rev 7/13/06 3:15 PM Page 1 FIGHTING FIGHTING WORDS WORDS HOW ARAB AND AMERICAN JOURNALISTS CAN BREAK THROUGH TO BETTER COVERAGE By Lisa Schnellinger and Mohannad Khatib Produced by the International Center for Journalists “Arabs are violent, religious extremists unwilling to consider any point of view that conflicts with their fundamentalist convictions.” “Americans are hedonistic imperialists who have no values and insist on imposing their materialistic culture all over the world.” No doubt many people in the United States and in Arab countries – including many of their leaders – believe these stereotypes. They help widen a dangerous schism between the two worlds that seems unbridgeable. But where do these stereotypes come from? How much FIGHTING WORDS responsibility do media in each region have for promoting them? In late 2005, two dozen Arab and American journalists gathered in HOW ARAB AND AMERICAN JOURNALISTS CAN Wisconsin to talk about how they cover each other’s worlds, and how BREAK THROUGH TO BETTER COVERAGE they can do it better. Over three days, they discussed such topics as using loaded words like “terrorist” and “jihad,” showing provocative images, covering sensitive issues of religion, and handling pressure from governments and advertisers. This manual is an outgrowth of that conference. Written by an American and an Arab who participated in the discussions, it is designed to help International journalists in both worlds think about how they can help minimize the misunderstandings between cultures that perpetuate conflict. The conference and the manual were made possible by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Johnson Foundation, the William and Center Flora Hewlett Foundation, Thomas S.
