  • 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.

  • Professionalism in War Reporting: a Correspondent's View by Tom Gjelten
    Professionalism in War Reporting: A Correspondent's View By Tom Gjelten Carnegie Corporation of New York established the Carnegie Commission on Preventing Deadly Conflict in May 1994 to address the looming threats to world peace of intergroup violence and to advance new ideas for the prevention and resolution of deadly conflict. The Commission is examining the principal causes of deadly ethnic, nationalist, and religious conflicts within and between states and the circumstances that foster or deter their outbreak. Taking a long-term, worldwide view of violent conflicts that are likely to emerge, the Commission seeks to determine the functional requirements of an effective system for preventing mass violence and to identify the ways in which such a system could be implemented. The Commission is also looking at the strengths and weaknesses of various international entities in conflict prevention and considering ways in which international organizations might contribute toward developing an effective international system of nonviolent problem solving. Commission publications fall into three categories: Reports of the Commission, Reports to the Commission, and Discussion Papers. Reports of the Commission have been endorsed by all Commissioners. Reports to the Commission are published as a service to scholars, practitioners, and the interested public. They have undergone peer review, but the views that they express are those of the author or authors, and Commission publication does not imply that those views are shared by the Commission as

  • Anderson Cooper, Lester Holt, Elaine Quijano, Martha Raddatz and Chris
    MEMO To: Anderson Cooper, Lester Holt, Elaine Quijano, Martha Raddatz and Chris Wallace From: Wylecia Wiggs Harris, CEO, League of Women Voters of the United States Date: September 21, 2016 Re: Keep Voters at the Forefront of Debates To the moderators of the upcoming presidential debates, In a presidential year that has proven unpredictable at every turn, you have taken on the enormous task of bringing together the top presidential candidates to address voters and— hopefully—take on the most critical issues affecting Americans. With nearly 1 in 4 Americans saying the debates could sway their vote, and 74% saying they plan to watch the first debate (ABC News/SSRS poll, 9/11/16), you have the extraordinary responsibility of ensuring the debates are fair, substantive, and valuable to voters. For that, we say thank you for stepping up to the task. With a long legacy of sponsoring candidate debates, including sponsoring the presidential and vice presidential debates from 1976-1984 as well as hundreds of state and local debates taking place in 2016, the League of Women Voters is no stranger to the complexities and pressures of moderating candidate debates. Our aim in this letter is to urge you to keep one thing front and center: America’s voters. After all, this election isn’t actually about Ms. Clinton, Mr. Trump, the parties, or the pundits: it’s about the future we all, as voters, seek to build. Here are the most important lessons we have learned over nearly a century of sponsoring and moderating candidate debates: 1. Debates aren’t about the candidates.
