Our Path Forward October 7, 2015
Our Path Forward October 7, 2015 From our earliest days, The New York Times has committed itself to the idea that investing in the best journalism would ensure the loyalty of a large and discerning audience, which in turn would drive the revenue needed to support our ambitions. This virtuous circle reinforced itself for over 150 years. And at a time of unprecedented disruption in our industry, this strategy has proved to be one of the few successful models for quality journalism in the smartphone era, as well. This week we have been celebrating a remarkable achievement: The New York Times has surpassed one million digital subscribers. Our newspaper took more than a century to reach that milestone. Our website and apps raced past that number in less than five years. This accomplishment offers a powerful validation of the importance of The Times and the value of the work we produce. Not only do we enjoy unprecedented readership — a boast many publishers can make — there are more people paying for our content than at any other point in our history. The New York Times has 64 percent more subscribers than we did at the peak of print, and they can be found in nearly every country in the world. Our model — offering content and products worth paying for, despite all the free alternatives — serves us in many ways beyond just dollars. It aligns our business goals with our journalistic mission. It increases the impact of our journalism and the effectiveness of our advertising. It compels us to always put our readers at the center of everything we do. -

CHANGING PERCEPTIONS OF IL DUCE TRACING POLITICAL TRENDS IN THE ITALIAN-AMERICAN MEDIA DURING THE EARLY YEARS OF FASCISM by Ryan J. Antonucci Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the History Program YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY August, 2013 Changing Perceptions of il Duce Tracing Political Trends in the Italian-American Media during the Early Years of Fascism Ryan J. Antonucci I hereby release this thesis to the public. I understand that this thesis will be made available from the OhioLINK ETD Center and the Maag Library Circulation Desk for public access. I also authorize the University or other individuals to make copies of this thesis as needed for scholarly research. Signature: Ryan J. Antonucci, Student Date Approvals: Dr. David Simonelli, Thesis Advisor Date Dr. Brian Bonhomme, Committee Member Date Dr. Martha Pallante, Committee Member Date Dr. Carla Simonini, Committee Member Date Dr. Salvatore A. Sanders, Associate Dean of Graduate Studies Date Ryan J. Antonucci © 2013 iii ABSTRACT Scholars of Italian-American history have traditionally asserted that the ethnic community’s media during the 1920s and 1930s was pro-Fascist leaning. This thesis challenges that narrative by proving that moderate, and often ambivalent, opinions existed at one time, and the shift to a philo-Fascist position was an active process. Using a survey of six Italian-language sources from diverse cities during the inauguration of Benito Mussolini’s regime, research shows that interpretations varied significantly. One of the newspapers, Il Cittadino Italo-Americano (Youngstown, Ohio) is then used as a case study to better understand why events in Italy were interpreted in certain ways. -

The New York Times Company Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2014 Earnings Conference Call February 3, 2015
The New York Times Company Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2014 Earnings Conference Call February 3, 2015 Andrea Passalacqua Thank you, and welcome to The New York Times Company’s fourth-quarter and full-year 2014 earnings conference call. On the call today, we have: ▪ Mark Thompson, president and chief executive officer; ▪ Jim Follo, executive vice president and chief financial officer; and ▪ Meredith Kopit Levien, executive vice president of advertising. Before we begin, I would like to remind you that management will make forward-looking statements during the course of this call, and our actual results could differ materially. Some of the risks and uncertainties that could impact our business are included in our 2013 10-K. In addition, our presentation will include non-GAAP financial measures, and we have provided reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures in our earnings press release, which is available on our website at investors.nytco.com. With that, I will turn the call over to Mark Thompson. Mark Thompson Thanks Andrea and good morning everyone. Before I turn to the detail of Q4, I’d like to offer a few observations about 2014 as a whole. This was an encouraging year for The New York Times Company. We made enough progress with our digital revenues to more than offset the secular pressures on the print side of our business and deliver modest overall revenue growth. Especially pleasing was the progress on digital advertising. When I arrived at the Company just over two years ago, digital advertising was in decline. In 2014 we reversed that with digital ad growth in all four quarters, which became double-digit growth in the second half with a 19 percent year-over-year gain in the fourth quarter. -

Miller Submitted to the faculty of the University Graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in the Departments of History and Philanthropic Studies, Indiana University August 2010 Accepted by the Faculty of Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ____________________________________ Elizabeth Brand Monroe, Ph.D., J.D., Chair ____________________________________ Dwight F. Burlingame, Ph.D. Master’s Thesis Committee ____________________________________ Philip V. Scarpino, Ph.D. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In the same way that the philanthropists discussed in my paper depended upon a community of experienced agents to help them create their museums, I would not have been able to produce this work without the assistance of many individuals and institutions. First, I would like to express my thanks to my thesis committee: Dr. Elizabeth Monroe (chair), Dr. Dwight Burlingame, and Dr. Philip Scarpino. After writing and editing for months, I no longer have the necessary words to describe my appreciation for their support and flexibility, which has been vital to the success of this project. To Historic Deerfield, Inc. of Deerfield, Massachusetts, and its Summer Fellowship Program in Early American History and Material Culture, under the direction of Joshua Lane. My Summer Fellowship during 2007 encapsulated many of my early encounters with the institutional histories and sources necessary to produce this thesis. I am grateful to the staff of Historic Deerfield and the thirty other museums included during the fellowship trips for their willingness to discuss their institutional histories and philanthropic challenges. -
2014 United States Mint Annual Report
UNITED STATES MINT 2014 ANNUAL REPORT DEPUTY DIRECTOR’S LETTER I am pleased to present the United States Mint’s Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2014. Once again this year, the men and women of the United States Mint delivered outstanding results for the nation. This annual report tells their story by showing how we focus on our customers and drive continuous improvement into every facet of our operations. The United States Mint (Mint) is a customer driven organization that operates in three distinct areas. The circulating program facilitates commerce across the nation, the bullion coin program meets the needs of investors around the globe, and the numismatic program produces special coins and medals—many of which are authorized by individual public laws. We are the largest Mint in the world, but we do not act that way. We are a lean and nimble manufacturing success story delivering dramatically reduced costs; exciting new products and customer service; impressive environmental and safety Richard A. Peterson performance; and cutting edge technology. United States Mint Deputy Director The Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 results are impressive and really speak for themselves, but they don’t tell the whole story. The real story at the Mint over the last several years has been about the customer. We have invested our energy to really understand our customers, who they are and what they value. We have aligned our operations to provide them the highest quality products, on time, and at the lowest possible costs. The FY 2014 results, both the hard numbers and the more soft service improvements, are the dividends earned from our renewed customer focus. -

Otton: The Journey of FDR's Public Image as the Democratic Dictator THE JOURNEY OF FDR’S PUBLIC IMAGE AS THE DEMOCRATIC DICTATOR n BY ANDREW W. OTTON ranklin Delano Roosevelt’s (FDR) public image rose in his first Fterm, fell in his second, and rebounded in his third. The essen- tial focus of this paper is to examine how FDR portrayed himself to the public, as well as explain the tumultuous nature of his image over his three terms. This is significant, as other scholarship has overlooked this important part, leaving the understanding of FDR lacking. Other scholarship focuses mostly on policy and politics when concerned with FDR’s speeches, specifically the fireside chats, and the potential societal, economic, cultural, etc. impact the speech might have had. Davis Houck is a good exception to that. He has a discussion of FDR trying to insert the traits of a dictator into his pub- lic image, which one will discuss later.1 Even when looking at rhetoricians, many spend their time discussing the particular way FDR used language to be effectively persuasive. -
Unified Conspiracy Theory - Rationalwiki
Unified Conspiracy Theory - RationalWiki http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Unified_Conspiracy_Theory Unified Conspiracy Theory From RationalWiki The Unified Conspiracy Theory is a conspiracy theory, popular with Some dare call it some paranoids, that all of reality is controlled by a single evil entity that has it in for them. It can be a political entity, like "The Illuminati", or a Conspiracy metaphysical entity, like Satan, but this entity is responsible for the creation and management of everything bad. The Church of the SubGenius has adopted this notion as fundamental dogma. Michael Barkun coined the term "superconspiracy" to refer the idea that the world is controlled by an interlocking hierarchy of conspiracies. Secrets revealed! Similarly, Michael Kelly, a neoconservative journalist, coined the term America Under Siege "fusion paranoia" in 1995 to refer to the blending of conspiracy theories CW Leonis of the left with those of the right into a unified conspiratorial Doug Rokke [1] worldview.
