  • Museum of the Moving Image to Honor Nbc's Brian
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MUSEUM OF THE MOVING IMAGE TO HONOR NBC’S BRIAN WILLIAMS AND KENNETH LOWE OF SCRIPPS NETWORKS INTERACTIVE ON JUNE 2 AT THE ST. REGIS HOTEL Astoria, NY, April 4, 2011 — Herbert S. Schlosser, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Museum of the Moving Image, announced today that Brian Williams, Anchor and Managing Editor of NBC Nightly News , and Kenneth W. Lowe, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Scripps Networks Interactive, Inc., will be honored at the Museum’s annual black-tie benefit on Thursday, June 2, 2011, at The St. Regis Hotel. Each spring, the Museum holds this event, recognizing two leaders in the media industry. Brian Williams is seen by more U.S. television news viewers on a daily basis than any other American. He has become the most highly decorated evening news anchor of the modern era, and NBC Nightly News is the most-watched newscast in all of television. Williams’s coverage of world events has earned him high praise and several citations for journalistic excellence, many of which were awarded for his work covering Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. The New York Times said his reporting of Katrina was “a defining moment,” and Vanity Fair later called his work “Murrow-worthy” and reported that during the crisis he became “a nation’s anchor.” Williams joined NBC News in 1993 after several years working at local stations in Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and New York City. A few years later, he became NBC’s chief White House correspondent and then anchor and managing editor of The News with Brian Williams on MSNBC and CNBC.

  • Administration of Barack H. Obama, 2009 Remarks at the Radio And
    Administration of Barack H. Obama, 2009 Remarks at the Radio and Television Correspondents Association Dinner June 19, 2009 The President. Thanks to all of you. Thank you. Please, everybody, have a seat. Before I get started, as the father of two girls, can I just say how incredibly impressive those three young ladies were. Dad would be proud. To Heather and all the others who have made this evening possible, thank you so much. It is wonderful to be here. I want to express my appreciation for the opportunity to tell jokes that weren't funny enough for me to use when we did this 5 weeks ago. [Laughter] Whatever. [Laughter] The jokes may not be as good, but neither is the guest list. [Laughter] I'm just joking. For me, there's no contest. Why bother hanging out with celebrities when I can spend time with the people who made me one? [Laughter] I know where my bread is buttered. Plus, we have our own luminaries here in attendance. The junior Senator from Wyoming, John Barrasso, is here. [At this point, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs came to the podium and whispered in the President's ear.] I'm sorry, John Barasso skipped this evening. [Laughter] Let me tell you, though, for those who haven't met him, John Barrasso is the George Clooney of junior Senators from Wyoming. [Laughter] It is great to be here with so much talent from the world of TV and radio. Despite the flood of new media, I think your programming is more relevant than ever before.

  • Targeted Sampling from Massive Block Model Graphs with Personalized Pagerank∗
    Targeted sampling from massive block model graphs with personalized PageRank∗ Fan Chen1, Yini Zhang2, and Karl Rohe1 1Department of Statistics 2School of Journalism and Mass Communication University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706, USA Abstract This paper provides statistical theory and intuition for Personalized PageRank (PPR), a popular technique that samples a small community from a massive network. We study a setting where the entire network is expensive to thoroughly obtain or maintain, but we can start from a seed node of interest and \crawl" the network to find other nodes through their connections. By crawling the graph in a designed way, the PPR vector can be approximated without querying the entire massive graph, making it an alternative to snowball sampling. Using the degree-corrected stochastic block model, we study whether the PPR vector can select nodes that belong to the same block as the seed node. We provide a simple and interpretable form for the PPR vector, highlighting its biases towards high degree nodes outside of the target block. We examine a simple adjustment based on node degrees and establish consistency results for PPR clustering that allows for directed graphs. These results are enabled by recent technical advances showing the element-wise convergence of eigenvectors. We illustrate the method with the massive Twitter friendship graph, which we crawl using the Twitter API. We find that (i) the adjusted and unadjusted PPR techniques are complementary approaches, where the adjustment makes the results particularly localized around the seed node and (ii) the bias adjustment greatly benefits from degree regularization. Keywords Community detection; Degree-corrected stochastic block model; Local clustering; Network sampling; Personalized PageRank arXiv:1910.12937v2 [cs.SI] 1 Jul 2020 1 Introduction Much of the literature on graph sampling has treated the entire graph, or all of the people in it, as the target population.

  • Conservative War Chest Rallies NBC Affiliates AGAINST NBC NEWS & COMCAST/NBC/UNIVERSAL
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA CONTACT: Mike Flynn January 13, 2015 (202) 427-2127 [email protected] Conservative War Chest Rallies NBC Affiliates AGAINST NBC NEWS & COMCAST/NBC/UNIVERSAL Says Network Has Become a Left-Wing Super PAC to Smear Republicans Calls for Halt to ‘Corruption of American Journalism,’ Government & Media Collusion And Asks Republicans and Tea Party to Block Comcast/Time Warner Deal 65-Page Expose´ Report Launches ‘Campaign of 2015’ to Win 2016 TWO-MINUTE TV SPOT ON NBC AFFILIATES IN FIVE SWING STATES CALLS COMCAST-NBC “MILITANT LEFT WING POLITICAL FORCE” Washington, D.C. – Conservative War Chest today released a 65-page report documenting the overt political bias at Comcast-owned NBC and MSNBC News. CWC spokesman Mike Flynn said the report was being sent to NBC affiliate stations across the country to seek their help restoring the traditional journalistic standards that have been squandered in recent years by NBC News and its corporate owners. “I hope the affiliates have a stiff drink ready when they read the report,” Flynn said. “Reviewing the trite liberal gruel that comes out of Brian Williams and Chuck Todd, for example, is not for the faint of heart.” Flynn said Conservative War Chest (CWC) also will run a two-minute broadcast spot starting Wednesday that details the corruption of journalism by NBC News and MSNBC on select NBC affiliates in five key 2016 swing states. “This isn’t just about the network affiliates defending their own integrity,” Flynn said. “It is also important that the public sees how Comcast and NBC News are distorting the news to benefit President Obama and their liberal Democratic allies in Congress.” Flynn noted that in the lead-up to the November midterm elections, the NBC News website published more stories on civil unrest in Burkina Faso than the pending elections.

  • Audiences, Anchors and Media Trust Carl Jaeger School Of
    Audiences, anchors and media trust Carl Jaeger School of Journalism and Mass Communication University of Minnesota Presented on July 8, 2015 Abstract This article explores the relationship between media consumers and television news anchors, specifically focusing on trust. Trust is an aspect of everyday life that helps individuals build relationships with one another. Katz’s uses and gratifications theory explains how media consumers seek out the content that makes them feel the most gratified, with trust playing a major role in feeling satisfaction. Additionally, social interaction theory describes the role trust plays from television anchors and viewers, and how increased trust builds social capital. Research methods included a focus group, in which participants explained their feelings toward trust, media use and television news. Research also included an online survey on the same topics. Lastly, interviews were held with on-air news anchors to gain their unique perspective on the relationship trust plays in television news. Trust is considered one of the main qualities that attracts individuals to certain media outlets, including television news, but transparency also plays a significant role. Respondents agreed fabrication of the facts has no role in journalism, but conceded trust can be rebuilt under certain circumstances. 2 Capstone Advisory Committee Steven Wehrenberg, Teaching Professor & Program Director of University of Minnesota School of Journalism and Mass Communication Strategic Communications Master’s program Al Tims, Associate Professor, Director of School of Journalism and Mass Communication, University of Minnesota Sid Bedingfield, Assistant Professor and Cowles Research Fellow, School of Journalism and Mass Communications, University of Minnesota 3 About the Author Carl Jaeger is currently a morning show producer for KMSP-TV, the Fox affiliate in Minneapolis, where he produces 90 minutes of live television news five days a week.
