1 This interview is part of the Southern Oral History Program collection at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Other interviews from this collection are available online through www.sohp.org and in the Southern Historical Collection at Wilson Library. R.43. Special Research Projects: NewStories Interview R-0774 Richard Griffiths 17 March 2015 Abstract – p. 2 Transcript – p. 3 Interview number R-0774 from the Southern Oral History Program Collection (#4007) at The Southern Historical Collection, The Louis Round Wilson Special Collections Library, UNC-Chapel Hill. 2 GRIFFITHS, RICHARD T. - ABSTRACT For Richard T. Griffiths, vice president and senior editorial director of CNN, success is built on high standards, long hours and forward thinking. Being in the right place at the right time helps, too. Griffiths and his family emigrated from England in 1974 for his father’s job developing telecommunications technology. This provided Griffiths with the opportunity to attend and graduate from an American high school, an experience that set him on an “extraordinary path,” he said. He went on to college at UNC-Greensboro as a sociology major. While he was a student, he worked various journalism jobs to pay his expenses through college. Yet success as a journalist left less and less time for classes, and ultimately Griffiths chose work over completing his degree. The choice hasn’t held him back. Griffiths’s path to CNN was circuitous. He worked in Greensboro as a news director at WGBG Radio; as a motel desk clerk at Howard Johnson’s; and in numerous positions at WFMY television, the CBS affiliate.

How do companies and communicators work in an environment where there are no sidelines and every utterance is subject to criticism through a political lens? How do we anticipate and minimize issues that will divide customers and shareholders? How do we handle them once they have become politicized? What will the likely impact of the midterms be for communicators in this red hot environment? What do we need to do differently?

Special Report: Journalists Face Arrests, Attacks, and Threats by Police Amidst Protests Over the Death of George Floyd N May 2020, Protests in Minneapolis, Minn
A PUBLICATION OF THE SILHA CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF MEDIA ETHICS AND LAW | WINTER/SPRING 2020 A Message from the Director This issue of the Silha Bulletin, produced by our graduate student research assistants, includes a special roundup examining how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected newsgathering and reporting. But as if our world has not been rocked enough by COVID-19, the civil unrest in the Twin Cities following the death of George Floyd on May 25 prompted us to pivot just as we were wrapping up this issue of the Bulletin. Please visit our website to see our running list of clashes between the press and law enforcement. Our website is available at: https://hsjmc.umn.edu/news/2020-06-02-list-incidents-involving-police-and-journalists-during-civil-unrest-minneapolis-mn. We haven’t neglected our usual analysis of significant media law and media ethics developments from around the country. We’ve continued to provide timely research assistance and commentary on issues affecting freedom of the press and the public’s right to know. Elaine Hargrove, Silha Program Assistant, has almost completed a massive migration of Silha Center content — including past issues of the Bulletin, research materials, and photographs and recordings of many Silha events — to our new web site: https://hsjmc. umn.edu/research-centers/centers/silha-center-study-media-ethics-and-law. Silha Center programming and outreach also continue. On June 3, we participated in the first of a series of Town Hall webinars hosted by the Hubbard School of Journalism and Mass Communication examining legal and ethical issues surrounding reporting on the civil unrest in the Twin Cities.

MISOVERESTIMATING TERRORISM John Mueller Ohio State University
MISOVERESTIMATING TERRORISM John Mueller Ohio State University and Cato Institute Mark G. Stewart University of Newcastle November 24, 2015 Prepared for presentation at the Constructions of Terrorism Conference sponsored by TRENDS Research and Advisory, Abu Dhabi, and the Orfalea Center for Global and International Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara Santa Barbara, California, December 3-4, 2015. John Mueller Woody Hayes Senior Research Scientist, Mershon Center for International Security Studies Adjunct Professor, Department of Political Science Ohio State University Columbus, Ohio 43201, United States Cato Senior Fellow, Cato Institute 1000 Massachusetts Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20001, United States politicalscience.osu.edu/faculty/jmueller +1 614 247-6007 [email protected] Mark G.

First, its apparent incidence has been multiplied by effectively re-defining insurgency as terrorism. Accordingly, the category of “civil war” may be in the process of going out of existence—and the same could even happen for much international war. Second, extrapolating wildly from the apparent capacities of the 9/11 hijackers, the threat presented internationally by small bands of terrorists has been greatly exaggerated, sometimes even to the point of deeming it to be existential—a process that may be repeating itself with ISIS.
