  • Writing and Reporting for Radio
    WRITING AND REPORTING FOR RADIO PREPARED FOR AFGHANISTAN JOURNALISM EDUCATION ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM (AJEEP) By Henry Tenenbaum (Send comments and questions to: [email protected]) FOR INSTRUCTORS AND ADMINISTRATORS: This course was prepared as a basic college-level introduction to Radio Writing and Reporting. It assumes that students will have a basic academic knowledge about Journalism but limited practical experience. It should be an excellent introduction for those who wish to pursue additional, technical radio skills. It is also useful for print and television Journalists, since many of the skills involved cross over into others aspects of reporting. There are no prerequisite technical skills like recording or editing for this course. Students are not expected to have learned or mastered the use of recorders like the Zoom or editing software such as Audition or Audacity (see below for ALTERNATIVE ADAPTATIONS of this curriculum). The course also recognizes that students may not have easy access to hardware and software. It is designed for any classroom in any college, without requiring individual computer stations and specific hardware or software. Therefore, it does NOT cover the technical mechanics of radio beyond very basic use of a microphone. As a result, the course is, by necessity, text-based. It requires students to create written versions of audio reports. It focuses on writing and content selection, two skills that are primary for reporters in any medium. ALTERNATIVE ADAPTATIONS: It is possible to create a longer, “hands-on” version of this course that would include recording and editing. This would require an appropriate technology-equipped classroom and additional lab-oriented sessions.

Second Chances in The Wire: Perspectives from Psychology and the Judiciary The Hon. Rebecca R. Pallmeyer† & Dan P. McAdams†† ABSTRACT Playing off a scene in The Wire wherein prison inmates discuss whether Ameri- can lives have “second acts,” this essay considers psychological and legal issues at play in people’s efforts to turn their lives around, from bad to good. In the first half of the essay, a professor of psychology discusses empirical research into re- demptive life stories in which people find positive meaning in suffering and/or transform their lives from failure to relative success. While examples of redemp- tive life stories may be found in The Wire, making good on second chances seems to be a relatively rare occurrence. In the second half, a federal judge considers the issue of second chances in the American legal system, focusing on the issue of sen- tencing.

  • “Making the Alliance Great Again? the West at a Crossroads”
    OCCASIONAL PAPER #4/2016 “Making the Alliance Great Again? The West at a Crossroads” The XXXVIII American‐German Young Leaders Conference American Council on Germany 14 East 60th Street, Suite 1000 New York, NY 10022 T: 212-826-3636 F: 212-758-3445 www.acgusa.org [email protected] 0 INTRODUCTION The American Council on Germany’s U.S. Young Leader delegation had just started dinner on its first night in Munich when rumors of a mass shooting started circulating through the outdoor cafe. The delegates, having only arrived that morning and now sitting on the terrace of the Nürnberger Bratwurst Glöckl in the city’s Altstadt, noticed the other diners staring urgently at their smartphones as München residents, with no visible provocation, began sprinting down the street. A shooting at the Olympia-Einkaufszentrum shopping mall with multiple deaths had been confirmed, and the Munich police started locking down the city and ordering everyone indoors. All public transportation was suspended, the Munich central railway station evacuated. The delegates were ushered inside the restaurant and sat upstairs in the dark, waiting several hours as patchy – and as it turned out, false – information about multiple shootings was brought to them by the restaurant staff. Uncorroborated eyewitness accounts of other shootings started reaching the Munich Police Department, which had little choice but to take each report seriously. Its Twitter account started publishing regular updates such as “The suspects are still on the run” and “Unconfirmed reports of more violence and possible #gunfire in the City Center. Situation is unclear.” Within a few hours, the city officially still locked down, a few pedestrians could be seen through the cafe’s windows as calm slowly returned to the streets.

    LYING AND PUBLIC POLICY: PP 474:001 Winter 2020 M/W 1:00 – 2:20 David Morse Office: 3215 Weill Hall [email protected] Mon: 2:30 – 3:30 (w) 615-1779 Wed: 11:00 – 12:00 Introduction Lying has been getting a lot of attention lately and for good reason. Democracies demand the truthful exchange of information between rulers and the ruled—as well as a healthy media to inform the public on matters related to government and policy. Lying therefore poses a legitimate threat to the political stability of our nation. And yet despite the current ubiquity of terms like ‘post-truth’ and ‘alternative facts,’ lying is not a twenty- first century cultural or political aberration—lying permeates the fabric not only of American society but every society, playing a significant role in our daily conversations with others and with ourselves. As abundant research has shown, we lie daily—to avoid social embarrassment or hurting others’ feelings, or to manipulate situations for our own gain. Moreover, political philosophers like Plato have argued that lying is an essential tactic in the ruler’s toolkit, used to preserve social cohesion or persuade the public to agree with a policy that, in the ruler’s opinion, may be for the social good. Lying can also be necessary to protect the oppressed from exploitation or abuse. In this values and ethics course, we will read broadly in literature, philosophy, history, and politics in order, first, to define the different forms of deception, then to understand how various ethical frameworks may help us to determine when (if ever) lying is justified.

  • Gender, Genre, and Seriality in the Wire and Weeds
    DEALING WITH DRUGS: GENDER, GENRE, AND SERIALITY IN THE WIRE AND WEEDS By AMY LONG A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2008 1 © 2008 Amy Long 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like especially to thank my director, Trysh Travis, for her guidance, encouragement, and support throughout the writing process and my time at the University of Florida as a whole. Additionally, my committee members, Florence Babb and Joseph Spillane, deserve thanks for their participation in the project and particularly for, respectively, allowing me to work out some of the ideas presented here in here in her seminar fall 2007, Sex Love & Globalization, and providing me with useful reference materials and guidance. I would also like to thank LaMonda Horton Stallings for giving me the opportunity to develop substantial portions of my chapter on The Wire in her fall 2007 seminar, Theoretical Approaches to Black Popular Culture. In her spring 2008 seminar, History of Masculinities, Louise Newman also provided me with valuable theoretical resources, particularly with regard to the thesis’ first chapter. Mallory Szymanski, my Women’s Studies colleague, deserves acknowledgement for her role in making the last two years enjoyable and productive, particularly during the thesis writing process. I would also like to thank my parents for their support in all my endeavors. Lastly, my sisters, Beverly and Cassie Long, and friends who are too numerous to name (but know who they are) deserve special acknowledgment for giving me much needed diversions and generally putting up with me during this busy time.

If you are not comfortable with that notion, you won't agree with some of the tonalities of the show. I would argue that people comfortable with the economic and political trends in the United States right now -- and thinking that the nation and its institutions are equipped to respond meaningfully to the problems depicted with some care and accuracy on The Wire -- well, perhaps they're playing with the tuning knobs when the back of the appliance is in flames. - David Simon Frequently hailed as a masterpiece of American television, The Wire shines a light on urban decay in contemporary America, creating a dramatic portrait of Baltimoreʼs police, drug trade, shipping docks, city hall, public schools, and newspapers over five serialized seasons. In this course, we will watch and discuss all of this remarkable—and remarkably entertaining—series and place it within the dual contexts of contemporary American society and the aesthetics of television. This is a time-intensive course with a focus on close viewing and discussion, and opportunities for critical analysis and research about the showʼs social contexts and aesthetic practices.

  • Dickens After Dickens, Pp
    CHAPTER 8 Dickensian Realism in The Wire Laurena Tsudama, Rutgers University In the fifth season of the HBO series The Wire (2002–08), James Whiting, the fictional managing editor of the Baltimore Sun, decides that his staff needs to explore not only the murders perpetrated by a serial killer preying on the city’s homeless population but also ‘the Dickensian aspect of the homeless. The human element … the nature of homelessness itself’. In one little phrase, ‘the Dickensian aspect’, The Wire manages to capture precisely what is wrong with Whiting’s approach to journalism: he is more interested in telling sen- timental stories than exploring an issue in depth and documenting as many perspectives as possible. Whiting can only understand homelessness in the abstract: he sees it as an alien yet intriguing phenomenon, something to be romanticised and theorised. To ground the issue of homelessness in its very real and, oftentimes, unexciting causes would complicate the story and make it difficult for readers to seize on a single, compact image of homelessness. Whit- ing would rather reduce a story to an uncomplicated, palatable narrative than make the newspaper’s readers face the hard, difficult-to-solve realities of their world, the very issues The Wire, with its gritty realism, has been lauded for exploring in their full complexity. But is the Dickensian truly antithetical to realism? Certainly, there is prec- edent for applying the term ‘Dickensian’ to contemporary fiction, and recently published realist novels have frequently been described as such. In particu- lar, Donna Tartt’s The Goldfinch (2013) was hailed as a modern, ‘Dickensian’ How to cite this book chapter: Tsudama, L.

  • The Best of Fpri's Essays On
    60th Anniversary Edition THE BEST OF FPRI’S ESSAYS ON Democratic Transitions 2005-2015 FOREIGN POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTE The Best of FPRI’s Essays on Democratic Transitions, 2006-2015 Project on Democratic Transitions Edited by: Maia Otarashvili July 2015 FOREIGN POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTE www.fpri.org FOREWORD By Ambassador Adrian A. Basora Director of FPRI’s Project on Democratic Transitions July 2015 To judge by the headlines of recent months, democracy might seem to be in prolonged retreat throughout the world. Rather than “democratic transitions,” perhaps we should instead speak of authoritarian regression or, some would argue, the futility of America’s attempts to promote the spread of democracy abroad. Certainly, the global picture is far less rosy today than when we launched the Project on Democratic Transitions a decade ago. Yet, in the longer sweep of history, the story is not black- and-white; the lessons from the attempted democratic transitions of the past three decades are instead nuanced. When we began the PDT in early 2005, there had been fifteen years of dramatic progress after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The stifling communist dictatorships of Europe and Eurasia had crumbled, leading to rapid democratization in much of the region and culminating in Ukraine’s 2004 “Orange Revolution.” At the time, many analysts saw this as the wave of the future, not just in Europe/Eurasia but globally. Instead, the past decade has produced many disappointed hopes and significant regression in some countries. This is true not only in the post-communist region but also in the Arab world, in Latin America and elsewhere.
