These early years defined, as Herman Gray suggests in Watching Race, all subsequent representations of blackness on television. This defining moment, I argue, is one inextricably tethered to the South and the region’s anxiety ridden and complicated relationship with television. This anxiety was rooted in the progress and increasing visibility of the Civil Rights Movement, concern over growing white southern audiences in the wake of the FCC freeze (ended in 1952), and the fear and threat of a southern backlash against racially progressive programming.

  • Fantastic Worlds #2
    THE ACKERMAN STORY by Sam Sackett . Tucker . Browne • Neville IB VERY DAY the Postman passeth, and envelopes tumble upon your ed- ISitor's desk. Some are like gentle rain, a few like hailstones; and occasionally there is a king-sized thunderbolt. Most numerous are the gentle-rain type, the simple communica­ tions: "Enclosed find 25/ for a sample copy of your magazine," or "That first issue of yours was great," or "Here is a short yam I want you to consider." All of which are well and good# But then come those hailstones. A 50,000-word manuscript, dog-eared and wrinkled, bearing cigarette bums and coffee stains of every editorial office from Curtis to Standard, and with this note: "If you don't like this, just throw it away. It's too beat up, and I don't like it much anyway." By an odd coincidence, we didn't like it much either. Or manuscripts with notes like this: "Just don't have enough dough for return postage, so the return trip—if any—is on you." Remembering the days when we used to sacrifice lunch in order to solve a similar problem, we weren't too impressed by such subtle humor. Then there was the lady in Maine who naively thunderbolted, "I red your first ishue and spechully liked the stories by Trueman Capote and Anthony Butcher. I hope you kan offord to pay more than 3 dollars a storie soon." At which, we hastened to explain that our magazine was Fantastic Worlds and that our name was not Howard Browne.

  • 2019-07-08 Catalog P
    Pulp-related books and periodicals available from Mike Chomko for July and August 2019 Given that I’m writing these words in early September, I’m way behind on my bookselling chores. As I’ve relayed via email, between PulpFest 2019 and helping my wife with her mother — now in hospice care — this summer has been extremely busy. PulpFest is over for another year — actually eleven months, given the timing of this catalog. The convention’s organizing committee is already working on next year’s gathering. It will take place August 6 - 9 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Pittsburgh — Cranberry, located in Mars, Pennsylvania. PulpFest 2020 will focus on Bradbury, BLACK MASK, and Brundage. We may even throw in a touch of Brackett and Burroughs for good measure. In October, we’ll be announcing our very special guest of honor. Over the Labor Day weekend, Dianne and I drove to the Burlington area of Vermont to acquire a substantial collection of pulps, digests, vintage paperbacks, first edition hardcovers, underground comics, fanzines, and more. The primary focus of the magazine collection is the science fiction genre. There are also miscellaneous periodicals from the adventure, detective, hero, spicy, and war genres. The collection contains magazines in both the pulp and digest formats. The vintage paperbacks run the gamut of genres that are popular in that area of book collecting. PulpFest will begin selling the collection via auction during our 2020 convention. Given its size, it will take a number of years to disperse the entire collection. Now begins the difficult and time-consuming work of organizing, cataloging, lotting, and photographing the collection.

  • American Heritage Center
    UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER GUIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY RESOURCES Child actress Mary Jane Irving with Bessie Barriscale and Ben Alexander in the 1918 silent film Heart of Rachel. Mary Jane Irving papers, American Heritage Center. Compiled by D. Claudia Thompson and Shaun A. Hayes 2009 PREFACE When the University of Wyoming began collecting the papers of national entertainment figures in the 1970s, it was one of only a handful of repositories actively engaged in the field. Business and industry, science, family history, even print literature were all recognized as legitimate fields of study while prejudice remained against mere entertainment as a source of scholarship. There are two arguments to be made against this narrow vision. In the first place, entertainment is very much an industry. It employs thousands. It requires vast capital expenditure, and it lives or dies on profit. In the second place, popular culture is more universal than any other field. Each individual’s experience is unique, but one common thread running throughout humanity is the desire to be taken out of ourselves, to share with our neighbors some story of humor or adventure. This is the basis for entertainment. The Entertainment Industry collections at the American Heritage Center focus on the twentieth century. During the twentieth century, entertainment in the United States changed radically due to advances in communications technology. The development of radio made it possible for the first time for people on both coasts to listen to a performance simultaneously. The delivery of entertainment thus became immensely cheaper and, at the same time, the fame of individual performers grew.

"The old Vitagraph lot, then ABC, now Disney in East Hollywood, once had a large backlot, but by the time of television, the backlot was gone. For an early live western tv show, the side of one of the sound stages was painted to look like a western town or desert scene or something, and the show was show live from in front of that painted building." - Jerry S. "I've been told that all the scenes [in 42nd STREET] inside the theater were shot at Prospect on [what was known as] the Vitaphone theater stage. That stage later became Studio E at ABC, (now Stage 5). Eventually, the auditorium end of the stage was demolished to make way for a new studio now called Stage 4. The Vitaphone stage was sort of like the Phantom stage at Universal in that a portion of it had a permanent auditorium set with seats and boxes. It was removed once ABC took over. The old TV series SPACE PATROL was shot on those combined stages." - Richard P.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Communications COMPETITION AND PROGRAM TYPE DIVERSITY IN THE OVER-THE-AIR TELEVISION INDUSTRY, 1943-2005 A Thesis in Mass Communications by Young Shin Cho © 2007 Young Shin Cho Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2007 The thesis of Young-Shin Cho was reviewed and approved* by the following: Richard Taylor Palmer Chair of Telecommunications Studies and Law Thesis Advisor Chair of Committee Matt Jackson Associate Professor of Communications Krishna Jayakar Associate Professor of Communications Lynette Kvasny Assistant Professor of Information Sciences and Technology John S. Nichols Professor of Communications Associate Dean for Graduates Studies and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ABSTRACT Competition and diversity are touchstones in media policy, but the relationship between them is not clear despite a great number of studies because even studies dealing with their relationship, did not measure the intensity of competition. This paper investigates the relationship between market competition and program type diversity in the over-the-air television industry. Specifically, market competition is divided into intra-network competition and intra-media competition, i.e. terrestrial television vs. cable TV. Also this paper uses a comprehensive model of program types, with 281 program type categories, which have never been used in previous studies. The results show that program type diversity keeps decreasing over time and intra-network competition has a negative effect on program type diversity. Also, intra- network competition is a more important factor on program type diversity than inter- media competition.
