UCLA Catalog Record ID UCLA Catalog Record ID: 5322295 Biography Clete Roberts (1912-1984) was born Cletus Enoch Haase in Portland, Ore. He began his broadcasting career in Seattle, Wash. in 1928 delivering daily radio stock market reports for the brokerage firm for which he worked. After abandoning aspirations of becoming a professional opera singer, Roberts worked at various Seattle radio stations, including KJR, as a journalist. In 1937 was offered a position as a reporter in Los Angeles by Transradio Press. Within the next several years, Mr. Roberts worked at several Los Angeles radio stations, including KGER as a news editor, KMTR as a news commentator, and KMPC as news director. Roberts joined the Blue Network (which later became the American Broadcasting Company) in 1942. With the outbreak of World War II, he took military leave and joined the Army Air Enlisted Reserve Air Corps where he trained as a pilot. After his discharge, Roberts became a war correspondent for the Blue Network and served with the U.S. Forces in the South Pacific under the command of General Douglas MacArthur. In February 1945, Roberts was assigned by the Blue Network to the European Theater and was named Bureau Manager in Rome, Italy. It was during this tenure that Roberts covered the surrender of German forces in Italy, the death of Mussolini, and obtained exclusive interviews with Donna Rachele Mussolini and Margarita Himmler. Following his tenure as a war correspondent, Roberts settled in Los Angeles and embarked on a broadcasting career that spanned close to forty years, and included groundbreaking work in the early days of television broadcasting. Some of his more notable reporting assignments include: radio pool reporter for "Operation Crossroads", the Bikini Atoll atomic bomb tests in 1946, the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, the French and American Viet Nam wars in 1954 and 1968, the 1956 Suez Crisis, and the 1967 Six-Day War. During his broadcasting career, Roberts worked for a number of companies, including KLAC, CBS-KNXT, NBC, KTLA, KHJ, and KCET. In addition to his Finding Aid for the Clete Roberts 1288 2 Papers, 1938-1986 television journalism, Mr. Roberts produced a variety of news documentaries via his own production companies (U.S. Television Newsfilm and Clete Roberts Film Group).

    This Summer, American Public Television and WORLD Channel Transport Audiences to an African National Park That Is Saving Endange

    This Summer, American Public Television and WORLD Channel Transport Audiences to an African National Park that is Saving Endangered Animals while Lifting Communities out of Poverty “Our Gorongosa” shares the stories of the women who are transforming conservation and development in Gorongosa National Park and providing the next generation of girls with opportunities for empowered futures Chevy Chase, MD (July 26, 2021) – “Our Gorongosa,” the inspirational film by Tangled Bank Studios and Gorongosa Media is debuting on public television stations across the country this summer and nationally on WORLD Channel, produced by GBH in partnership with the WNET Group in New York and distributed by American Public Television. Close to 90% of U.S. households will now be able to see the film on their local public television station (check local listings for eXact dates and airtimes). “Our Gorongosa” features Dominique Gonçalves, a vibrant Mozambican ecologist who runs the Gorongosa elephant ecology project as she shares the myriad ways Gorongosa is redefining the identity and purpose of an African national park. From her own work mitigating human/elephant conflict; to community clubs and school programs that empower girls to avoid teen marriage and pregnancy; to health clinics and nutrition training for eXpectant mothers and families; Dominique transforms viewers’ understanding of what a national park can be. The commitment of the remarkable women who run these programs—and the resilience of the mothers and girls who are benefiting from them—tell an inspiring story of strength and hope. “Our Gorongosa” has captivated film festival audiences since its debut at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture and its festival premiere in 2019 at the Wild and Scenic Film Festival.

    Televising Watts Joe Saltzman's Black on Black

    10 Televising Watts Joe Saltzman’s Black on Black (1968) on KNXT JOSHUA GLICK Joe Saltzman’s Black on Black challenged staid conventions of broadcast journalism and ste reo typical repre sen ta tions of Watts when it premiered on Los Angeles station !"#$ on July &', &()'. Shot in the thick of urban up- risings sweeping the country, the documentary took aim at prestige public a*airs specials’ depiction of Watts as a site of poverty, a crime- ridden neigh- borhood, or a war zone. Saltzman, a white liberal documentarian from the nearby suburb of Alhambra in the San Gabriel Valley, sought to provide a platform for black residents to speak for themselves and to re orient main- stream tele vi sion audiences’ understanding of South Central Los Angeles. Black on Black portrayed Watts as a community of pe ople with deep ties to their neighborhood. Residents re+ected on the meaning of black identity and spoke openly about their strug gles living within a city that marginalized their presence. Cinema and media studies scholars have written extensively on the tele- vi sion industry’s engagement with the Black Power movement, most o,en analyzing nationally broadcast situation comedies (Sanford and Son ["-., &(/0–//]), variety shows (!e Flip Wilson Show ["-., &(/1–/2], Soul Train [&(/1–011)]), and public a*airs series (Black Journal ["3$, &()'–//]). How- ever, the expanding 4eld of local programming constituted a crucial site of innovation and re sis tance to the whitewashed mainstream media.5 Black on Black directly addressed topics such as systemic racism and black cultural expression. Investigating Saltzman’s documentary demonstrates how social forces in Los Angeles shaped a national debate about the fraught relationship Downloaded from http://read.dukeupress.edu/books/chapter-pdf/790243/9781478005605-012.pdf by guest on 18 August 2020 between minorities and the 4lm and tele vi sion industry, as well as how this debate in+uenced on- the- ground media production and race relations in the city.
