Bersak Submitted to the Department of Comparative Media Studies, School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences on August 11, 2006, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Comparative Media Studies Abstract Like writers and editors, photojournalists are held to a standard of ethics. Each publication has a set of rules, sometimes written, sometimes unwritten, that governs what that publication considers to be a truthful and faithful representation of images to the public. These rules cover a wide range of topics such as how a photographer should act while taking pictures, what he or she can and can’t photograph, and whether and how an image can be altered in the darkroom or on the computer.

  • Religion INK.: Tabloid Crucifiction (Whose Apocalypse, When?)1
    JOURNAL OF MILLENNIAL STUDIES Volume I, Issue I Spring 1998 Religion INK.: Tabloid Crucifiction (Whose Apocalypse, When?)1 Robert Luke Department of English, Queen’s University, Canada Western discourse has traced its own trajectory through its historical construct in biblia, chasing its shadow by the corporeal sundial that has as its turning point the next millennium. 2 This is due to the construction of an apocalyptic expectation that lurks beneath the unconscious collective Christian imagination, the intense allegorical literary imagery/imagining system encoded by an enculturation in Biblical discourse. This system creates a Christian culture map that promotes Christian iconography as a mode and medium of information transmission. Christian dogma expects the Apocalypse as a fulfilment of centuries of suffering, a time when the Second Coming of Christ will subvert the oppression in the world, 1 This paper was initially presented as “A Tabloid Study of Reaganomics and the Profits of Corporate Christianity or, Whose Apocalypse, When?” at the Centre For Millennial Studies, Boston University, during “The Apocalyptic Other” conference, November 2-4, 1997. 2 Weekly World News, (Lantana, Florida: Weekly World News, Inc.), January 7, 1997. 3 handing the reins of power to the meek, who shall inherit the earth, and be indulged with a millennium of rule over their oppressors before the world is remade, or paradise fulfilled. Tabloid publications the Sun 4 and Weekly World News both cater to and promote this apocalyptic angst in North America, using the mnemonic associations of print media to corroborate their own authority. These publications form part of a Christian subconscious in America, an apocalyptic belief that saves those who are ‘othered’ by the 3 Weekly World News, August 5, 1997.

Monster Pets Response by KAREN RABER WAS BIGFOOT’S SEX SLAVE, blares one headline; LOCH NESS MONSTER IS DEAD reads another (and hilariously: “Dick Cheney is a Robot” yet another).1 The Weekly World News, favored repository for tabloid I accounts of monstrous and imaginary beasts covers Bigfoot, Nessie and others with devoted adoration, not least for the numbers their appearance can add to circulation. Like the sensationalist accounts of dragons Jan Stirm analyzes, tabloid creatures thrill and titillate, fascinate and terrify. Their role is partly social—they are “about” the social itself, creating relationships among their readers who are “insiders” with special knowledge about the world that others do not see. These are monsters with an important purpose, as Jeffrey Jerome Cohen points out: the monster’s body is a “cultural body” that emerges only at a specific time and place, birthed from cultural patterns, shocks and adaptations that require a beast on which anxieties and aspirations can be inscribed.2 Monsters register unstable boundaries between groups of things that should remain divided by category, by species, or other qualities; they “rebuke” traditional modes of knowledge, yet warn against certain kinds of exploration.

    HISTORY & RECORDS BISONS HISTORY & RECORDS BUFFALO BISONS RETIRED NUMBERS OLLIE CARNEGIE #6 Carnegie was the most popular player and greatest off ensive performer in the history of professional baseball in Buff alo. He played 12 years with the Bisons (1931-1941, 1945) and is Buff alo’s all-time leader with 258 home runs (2nd in International League behind only Mike Hessman) and 1,044 RBI. Carnegie led the Bisons in home runs and RBI seven times (1932-1935, 1937-1939) and the IL twice (1938, 1939). His 45 home runs in 1938 remain a club record. A lifetime .308 hitter, Carnegie also owns the Bisons records for games (1,273), hits (1,362) and doubles (249) even though he didn’t join the team until he was 32 years old. Carnegie was in the inaugural class for both the International League (1947) and Buff alo Baseball Hall of Fame. LUKE EASTER #25 Luscious Easter was a slugging fi rst baseman whose long home runs and colorful style of play captured the hearts of Bisons fans from 1956 through 1959. Easter, who was the fi rst black player to play for Buff alo since 1888, hit over 35 homers and drove more than 100 runs for three consecutive seasons in Buff alo. He led the International League in home runs at RBI in both 1956 (35 homers, 106 RBI) and 1957 (40 home runs, 128 RBI). All told, Easter hit 114 home runs and drove in 353 runs with the Bisons. Of his many memorable games, Easter will always be remembered as the fi rst player ever to hit a home run over the scoreboard at Off ermann Stadium.
