A CONTENT ANALYSIS OF TELEVISION POLITICAL PUNDITS A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication, Culture, and Technology By Paul M. Hitlin, B.A. Washington, D.C. April 25, 2005 A CONTENT ANALYSIS OF TELEVISION POLITICAL PUNDITS Paul M. Hitlin, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Diana Owen, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Following the conclusion of the first 2004 presidential debate between George W. Bush and John Kerry, television political pundits immediately began to assess the performances of each candidate. Two particular elements of the debate were hardly mentioned, but became significant topics of discussion within a few days: Kerry’s use of the term “global test” and Bush’s physical appearance. Television pundits played a key role in framing these two elements as historical memories that became the centerpieces of subsequent conversations about the event. This paper examines the institution of the television pundit and the role they play in shaping political discourse. I propose that during the first hours of television coverage after the event, there would be a variation of discussions among pundits on different networks. Then over the next five days, the tone of discussions and topics would converge as pundits began to reflect the opinions expressed by those on other channels. To test these hypotheses, I first provided a definition of the term “pundit” and then discussed the history and influences that shape the modern occupation. Next, I conducted a content analysis of the statements made on 42 talk shows that appeared across six networks during the six days following the debate. -

Harm and Remedy for Youth of the #Metoo Era
#WHOAMI?: HARM AND REMEDY FOR YOUTH OF THE #METOO ERA CHARISA SMITH* Legal approaches to sexual and gender-based harms between minors are both ineffective and under-examined. Despite the #MeToo movement, the flashpoint confirmation hearing of Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh involving alleged high school peer sexual assault, and heightened public awareness, fundamental issues regarding individuals under age eighteen remain ignored, over-simplified, or misunderstood. While the fields of children’s rights, family law, and criminal justice consistently wrestle with the continuum of human maturity and capacity in setting legal boundaries and rules, under-theorizing the #MeToo matter for youth will continue to perpetuate harm, toxic masculinity, and complicity in rape culture. This Article bridges the gap between empirical reality and legal response in a crisis that cannot be understated. As many as 81% of students between grades eight and eleven report having ever experiencing school sexual harassment,1 and girls ages twelve to seventeen have the highest rate of sexual assault victimization among other female populations. 2 These figures are undoubtedly low as much victimization goes unreported, particularly among males, communities of color, and certain under-served populations. 3 Engaging the consciousness of the #MeToo movement—one of newfound courage and tenacity among survivors—this article calls for a paradigm shift while deconstructing, reimagining, and reorganizing the problematic legal landscape regarding sexual and gender-based harms between youth. This Article asserts that status quo responses miss concerns unique to minors and * Charisa Smith is an Associate Professor at the City University of New York (CUNY) School of Law and has a J.D. -
