A total of 110 Urban stu- dents, faculty and staff voted in an online poll conducted by The Urban Legend from Oct. 14 to Oct. 16. The response was almost instantaneous, with nearly 100 people responding within the first hour. More than 90 percent of the responses were received prior to the final debate on Oct. 15. An overwhelming 96 per- cent of respondents chose Obama over Republican can- didate John McCain, although only 8 percent will be eligible to vote on Nov. 4. photo by Alex Roncal Asked who they trust more to handle the nation’s economic BUTTERFLIES WELCOME THE NEW ACADEMY ON SEPT. 27, AFTER A FOUR-YEAR REMODEL troubles, 95 percent chose Obama and 5 percent chose McCain.

  • Though General Election Focused on Economy, Religion-Related Storylines Were a Key Element in the Campaign
    How the News Media Covered Religion in the General Election Obama Gets Most Coverage, Much of It on False Rumor He Is a Muslim Nov. 20, 2008 Religion played a much more significant role in the media coverage of President-elect Barack Obama than it did in the press treatment of Republican nominee John McCain during the 2008 presidential campaign, but much of the coverage related to false yet persistent rumors that Obama is a Muslim. Meanwhile, there was little attempt by the news media during the campaign to comprehensively examine the role of faith in the political values and policies of the candidates, save for those of Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. And when religion-focused campaign stories were covered by the mainstream press, often the context was negative, controversial or focused on a perceived political problem. In all, religion was a significant but not overriding storyline in the media coverage of the 2008 campaign. But in a campaign in which an Obama victory would give the U.S. its first black president, religion received as much coverage in the media as race. These are some of the findings of a new study of the coverage of religion in the campaign conducted by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism and Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life. The study examined religion-focused election coverage in 48 different news outlets between June 1 and Oct. 15, 2008. 1 The “culture war” issues that have been prominent in past elections, such as abortion and gay marriage, received minimal attention in 2008.

  • Segway Submitted By: Activity Superstore Thursday, 15 August 2013
    Segway Submitted by: Activity Superstore Thursday, 15 August 2013 50% more people want to ride a Segway, according to the latest stats from Google Trends and gift experience specialist Activity Superstore, which liken the personal transport to a desirable sports car. Consumer interest in Segway experiences, from Segway rally driving to Segway city tours, has peaked by an impressive 50% on Google Trends this August and the numbers are still rising. Since 2011, Google demonstrates that Segway popularity has consistently grown by 10% year on year and despite the legal roadworthiness of the Segway, which restricts its public use due to being a motor vehicle, the worldwide use of the personal transport continues to grow. Meanwhile, gift experience provider, Activity Superstore (http://www.activitysuperstore.com/) saw a 45% increase in the number of Segway experiences booked, with Segway rally being the most popular Segway pursuit. “Now that the weather has cooled down, we’ve seen a sharp rise in purchases and redemptions for our gift vouchers,” said Ross Stevens, Marketing Manager. “But for whatever reason, people are going mad for Segways right now.” Segway experiences now make up 10% of online sales for the gift experience provider. The company’s Ultimate Choice gift vouchers are also 23% more likely to be redeemed for a Segway experience than any other type of product. In other Segway News Recently, London-based entrepreneur Nick Magliocchetti has formed the UK’s first Segway polo (http://wozcup2013.com/) team. Similar to horse polo, except that instead of playing on horseback, each player rides a Segway PT on the field, doing away with the need for multiple ponies and tailored leather boots.

  • Sexist News Commentary on the Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin
    Three Networks, Two Candidates, One Problem: Sexist News Commentary During Hillary Clinton’s Presidential and Sarah Palin’s Vice-Presidential Campaigns Drue Marr | University of Nebraska – Lincoln This paper examines the political commentary of three major U.S. television news networks for their portrayal and criticism of and sexist commentary on Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin during their 2008 presidential campaigns and Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. I reviewed coverage by CNN, the news source “bordering the neutral zone” (Langlois); MSNBC, the news outlet with a “slightly more lib- eral audience” (Blake); and Fox News, the “perceived as right-leaning” media outlet (Rothwell). While I originally sought to assess imbalances in criticism of these women from opposing parties on each net- work (would one woman “catch a break” on a certain network but not from others), I instead found an even display of criticism and negative portrayal based on sexist commentary across all three. This find- ing suggests a connection between openly biased and sexist news media coverage of female candidates for national political office and underrepresentation of women in congressional and presidential politics. Through negative commentary on female politicians’ appearance, family roles, and competence based on stereotypes like “emotionality,” mainstream news media play a powerful role in women’s continuing struggle to occupy the White House. In 2013, the United States broke a record for number of women” (Zhou) with 117 women the highest number of women elected to the elected to Congress, totaling 127 seats held United States Congress. Out of the total 535 by female politicians. Even with this seats in Congress, 101 of those seats were ground-breaking surge of incredible women occupied by women, including 20 in the stepping into the political arena, a whopping Senate (Blackwill).
