Know what it is you're trying to say," said Jim Ausenbaugh, an associate professor of journalism at Western. According to Ausenbaugh, newswriting and interviewing take a lot of planning and S( [ N[ clear Utinking. " In newswriting, the first part is your in­ fonnation," Ausenbaugh said. He read several examples of faulty reporting, in­ cluding some newspaper stories. Calling himself an "evangelist of the written word," Ausenbaugh went on to say that " clutter is a disease of writing. Take out all those extra words. Think about it." He also talked about accuracy and " how to hide the dull stuff." Ausenbaugh explained what to look for in an interview and how to prepare ques­ tions ahead of time through research. "He made some good points and kept my attention," said Jim Pence from Grayson County. • •• Graphic design is extremely important because it affects our daily lives," Steve Sebree, art director for The Courier­ Journal Magazine told workshop students Wednesday. He talked about different aspects of layout and design, including the use of symbols and art. Sebree showed slides of the pages he has designed. He illustrated the use of typography and design by drawing the word "fat" in thick, heavy lettering. " The slide show was interesting and gave me new ideas for yearbook design," said Sara Manion from Lyon County High School. ••• " Every photographer should have a compassion and feeling of what pictures he should take and what he should not. " This is the philosophy of Keith Williams, a photographer at The Courier-Journal and Louisville Times. Pboto by Tony Grimsley Williams, who works with 25 other Steve Sebree, art director for The Courier-Journal Magazine, is photographers at the newspapers, said pic­ tures are important because they show silhouetted by a slide of one of his designs for the "Scene" section readers the story.

Going into careful detail, Thompson I described his life undercover. He told I workshoppers he was always careful and always scared. Davidson County Sheriff Fate Thomas and two of his deputies accompanied the reporter back to Alabama for the meeting to protect him in case anything went wrong. Thompson was afraid Klan members had discovered what he was ' doing; however, there were no problems, and the first story in the series was published as he drove back from Alabama to Tennessee. The Associated Press also released his stories, Thompson said, and many reporters have followed him in publishing more stories about the Klan. Since Thompson's stories were printed, Klan membership has decreased greatly. Thompson has received threats by phone and through the mail. The Tennessean pro­ vided him and his family with protection, and the threats have subsided. t' Don't tell my wife, but if I had the chance I'd do it again," Thompson added.

  • Robert Worth Bingham and Louisville Progressivism 1905 1910
    ROBERT WORTH BINGHAM AND LOUISVILLE PROGRESSIVISM, 1905-1910 BY WILLIAM E. ELLIS* Progressivism continues to fascinate and bewilder American historians. From the 1890's through the era of World War I, a reformist mood compelled many urban middle class citizens to examine their society. Debates continue today over whether the movement was actually progressive or if anything of substance was really accomplished.1 The political history of Kentucky in the late 19th and early 20th centuries has often been relegated to the back pages or to footnotes by historians •vho write from a southern or national perspective. Little mention has been made of progressivism in Kentucky. Among Kentucky politicians of this era, only William Goebel demanded national attention. But historians can not even agree in their in- terpretation of Goebel. Was he a progressive, an urban political boss, or just another southern demagogue? Historians have not looked deeply enough into this period for signs of progressivlsm in the Commonwealth. If no "Progressive Movement" existed in this state, at least numerous individuals fit the general progressive model. Helm Bruce, a Louisville lawyer and leader in the contested mayoral election of 1905, qualified as a progressive in his fight against an urban political machine. Nicholas Burckel recently in- cluded Kentuckians James B. McCreary and A. O. Stanley in his study of "Progressive Governors and the Border States." Louis- ville ministers E. Y. Mullins and E. L. Powell led the progressive elements within the Southern Baptist and Disciples of Christ de- nominations. Patrick Henry Callahan, president of the Louisville Varnish Company and an active Catholic layman, followed the ideals of progressivism until his death in 1940.
