Edy A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by: Jean Folkerts W. Fitzhugh Brundage Jacquelyn Dowd Hall Frank E. Fee, Jr. Barbara Friedman ©2012 Carolyn Martindale Edy ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract CAROLYN M. EDY: Conditions of Acceptance: The United States Military, the Press, and the “Woman War Correspondent,” 1846-1945 (Under the direction of Jean Folkerts) This dissertation chronicles the history of American women who worked as war correspondents through the end of World War II, demonstrating the ways the military, the press, and women themselves constructed categories for war reporting that promoted and prevented women’s access to war: the “war correspondent,” who covered war-related news, and the “woman war correspondent,” who covered the woman’s angle of war. As the first study to examine these concepts, from their emergence in the press through their use in military directives, this dissertation relies upon a variety of sources to consider the roles and influences, not only of the women who worked as war correspondents but of the individuals and institutions surrounding their work. Nineteenth and early 20th century newspapers continually featured the woman war correspondent—often as the first or only of her kind, even as they wrote about more than sixty such women by 1914.

  • Rawlins 1992 Appendixa.Pdf (288.6Kb)
    + Page 44 + Appendix A. Electronic Book Technology The evolution of the personal computer has followed a path similar to that of the printed book, but in 40 years instead of 600. Alan Kay. [36] To understand the long-term threat to publishing paper books, we need to understand some technology: computer memory, optical discs, memory cards, geosynchronous satellites, cellular radio, radio frequency modems, fiber optic cable, electronic networks, flat-panel displays, portable computers, and desktop computers. This appendix also supports claims made in the report that some apparently radical technology will not only be possible, it is almost inevitable. By sketching the demand and market for each piece of technology, it also shows the computer industry's commitment to rapid change and it shows why this pace of change is inevitable. Personal computers are not yet as common as dishwashers, but that is only a few years away. It is hard to grasp just how much computers have improved. Unlike any other technology ever, computers have improved 10 millionfold in the past 50 years; [37] in that time computers have gone from the lab to the lap. In 30 years, computers shrank from houses, to cars, to refrigerators, to ovens, to microwave ovens, to record players, to large books, to magazines, to wallets. They have stopped at wallet size only because if they were any smaller humans could not use them; eventually they will accept voice input and could display output on the inside of a pair of sunglasses. In the far future, they may move inside the human body.

  • The External Conflict of Modern War Correspondents
    THE EXTERNAL CONFLICT OF MODERN WAR CORRESPONDENTS: TECHNOLOGY’S INEVITABLE IMPACT ON THE EXTINCTION OF NOSTALGIC COMBAT REPORTING James Colby Horton, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2002 APPROVED: Jacqueline Lambiase, Major Professor James Mueller, Committee Member Richard Wells, Committee Member Mitchell Land, Director of the Frank W. Mayborn Institute of Journalism Jim Albright, Chair of the Department of Journalism C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Horton, James Colby. The External Conflict of Modern War Correspondents: Technology’s Inevitable Impact on the Extinction of Nostalgic Combat Reporting. Master of Arts (Journalism), August 2002, 136 pp., 10 tables, reference list, 111 titles. Through historical and content analyses of war coverage, this study qualitatively addresses emotional quality, use of sources, and implied use of technology to better understand the tension between Vietnam and Afghanistan war correspondents and their military counterparts. Early American democracy aspired to give total freedom to its people. But the American military, in its quest to uphold the ideas of democracy, has often challenged the freedom of press clause set forth by the United States Constitution. Since the Vietnam era, the relationship between the military and the media has been plagued by questions of censorship, assertions of falsehood, and threats to national security. But it is the technological advancements in both reporting and combat techniques that have caused a disappearance of the nostalgic war coverage that American correspondents once prospered from. The possibility of returning to journalists’ vision of unrestricted press access is all but lost due to such advancements.

  • “You're in the South Now, Brother”: the Atlanta Hawks and Race, 1968–1970
    “You’re in the South Now, Brother”: The Atlanta Hawks and Race, 1968–1970 BY THOMAS AIELLO mong the players trickling into Atlanta in the summer of A 1968 following the arrival of the first NBA team to the Deep South, the former St. Louis Hawks, was “Pogo” Joe Caldwell, one of the team’s stars. In 1968, the Hawks, a perennial league power, had been regular-season champion of the league’s Western Divi- sion. Caldwell was an all-star, a former standout at Arizona State who played on the 1964 United States gold-medal-winning Olym- pic team. Caldwell, his wife, daughters, and sister arrived at the Holiday Inn in Atlanta, only to be greeted by a car full of whites who screamed “Hey, niggers!” before driving away. “Well,” his sis- ter told him, “you’re in the South now, brother.”1 Professional sports had already arrived in Atlanta and the Deep South when the Hawks began playing at Georgia Tech’s Alexander Memorial Coliseum in October 1968. The move of the Milwaukee Braves to Atlanta, the impact of their black star, Hank Aaron, and the country’s poetic and fraught historical re- lationship with baseball and its role in race relations are gener- ally interpreted as paving the way for first the National Football League and then the NBA. This interpretation is instructive 1Joe Caldwell, Banned from Basketball: The Long Strange Trip of “Pogo” Joe Caldwell (Tempe, AZ, 2003). Caldwell’s book is self-published and not paginated. This account, when citing Caldwell’s book, will note the chapters from which the material is taken.

He was relieved of his coaching duties in January 1970, when General Manager Max Williams took over as head coach. JOHN BEASLEY 1968, 1969 & 1970 ABA ALL-STAR John Beasley was the biggest surprise for the Dallas Chaparrals in their inaugural season … in his fi rst year, Beasley averaged 19.7 points per game … he made the ABA All-Star Team each of his fi rst three seasons and was named the MVP of the 1969 All-Star Game … he also garnered All-ABA Second Team honors in 1968 and 1969 … Beasley ranks second in Spurs ABA history in games, points, fi eld goals made and fi eld goals attempted … for his career with the Chaparrals, Beasley averaged 17.9 points and 11.0 rebounds while shooting .494 from the fi eld and .828 from the free throw line. RON BOONE 1968-69 ABA ALL-ROOKIE FIRST TEAM A major bright spot of the Chaparrals’ 1968-69 season was rookie phenom Ron Boone … Boone attracted very little attention during his college career at Idaho State, but that all changed when he got to the pros … Boone fi nished second to Warren Armstrong of Oakland for Rookie of the Year accolades … in his rookie season, Boone averaged 18.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists while shooting .434 from the fi eld and .812 from the free throw line.

    OPERATION EMBED: THE HOST OFFICER EXPERIENCE WITH EMBEDDED MEDIA DURING THE IRAQ WAR By ANA-KLARA HERING 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 IN MASS COMMUNICATION UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2006 Copyright 2006 by Ana-Klara Hering To my parents, Dad on the left shoulder, Mom on the right and to the memories of Staff Sergeant Gene Ramirez Sergeant Jason Pool and Lance Corporal Chad Charlet―casualties of the war and wartime 2,597 and still counting ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Six years ago a friend and fellow Marine gave me a book he thought I would be interested in. I devoured Peter Arnett’s memoir, Live From the Battlefield, and the seed for this thesis was planted. To Captain Thompson, I am grateful. The Marine Corps History Foundation generously funded this research. Its financial support and encouragement of projects like this one ensure a legacy for the Marine Corps. I am grateful for the confidence bestowed in me by its members. My sincere thanks to Professor Bill F. Chamberlin, Ph.D., my graduate advisor and committee chair for his insightful guidance and thorough review of this study. His excitement for and belief in this endeavor encouraged me to think beyond the boundaries of graduation requirements to become a researcher with something to offer the world. His endurance and personal investment in all his students is humbling. Many a late hour was inspired by the thought that he, too, was probably awake and working. He is a godfather to any student fortunate enough to study with him.
