When did the rascals of “The Front Page” turn into the scoundrels of “Absence of Malice”? Why did reporters stop being heroes played by Clark Gable, Bette Davis and Cary Grant and become bit actors playing rogues dogging at the heels of Bruce Willis and Goldie Hawn? It all happened in the dark as people watched movies and sat at home listening to radio and watching television. “The Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture” explores the continuing, evolving relationship between the American people and their media. It investigates the conflicting images of reporters in movies and television and demonstrates, decade by decade, their impact on the American public’s perception of newsgatherers in the 20th century. The class shows how it happened first on the big screen, then on the small screens in homes across the country. The class investigates the image of the cinematic newsgatherer from silent films to the 1990s, from Hildy Johnson of “The Front Page” and Charles Foster Kane of “Citizen Kane” to Jane Craig in “Broadcast News.” The reporter as the perfect movie hero.

He shepherded Saturday Night Live onto the air, then returned as producer to “rescue” the show in the early 1980s. As president of NBC Sports, he pursued several inventive and sometimes risky program- ming packages such as the Olympics Triple-Cast and the Baseball Network. Throughout his career he has been recognized as one of television’s more creative programmers. Ebersol became hooked on television sports when he saw the debut of ABC’s Wide World of Sports in 1963. Later, when that show was shooting in his area, he got errand jobs with the crew. By the winter of 1968 he was working as a research assistant for ABC’s coverage of the Winter Olym- pics in Grenoble, France, and while finishing his studies at Yale, he worked full-time as a segment producer.

  • Honor Roll of Donors
    T HE H ONOR R OLL OF D ONORS 2008 – 2009 ANNUAL REPORT OF GIVING 31 T HE H ONOR R OLL OF D ONORS A Letter from the Chairman of the Advancement and Development Committee of the UNH Board of Governors was unsure of myself as a student until I reached the University of New Haven. Something about this institution — the guidance, the optimism, the belief that all students possess untapped levels of promise — invigorated me and spurred me to work. It is a story I hear often, and a particular strength of the University’s. UNH gives its students Ia clear, clean compass to enable them to find the way. But to where? Success means different things to different people. For many, it means the ability to give to others. When speaking about giving, former Chrysler chairman Lee Iacocca once said, “I was fortunate to get a scholarship when I went to Lehigh University and Princeton. They were both wonderful schools. Somebody was kind enough to spend their money to educate people that they would never get to know. That’s what I think philanthropy is about.” He’s right, of course. Giving isn’t about getting a pat on the back or even your name in an Honor Roll of Donors. It’s about the quiet satisfaction that comes from knowing that in giving to a student who may never meet you in person, you could be growing the next philanthropist who will help the next student in need. Giving to education has a way of multiplying its blessings, and in this holiday season, that’s a pretty good gift indeed.
