  • Revisiting the Origins of Communication Research: Walter Lippmann’S World War II Adventure in Propaganda and Psychological Warfare
    International Journal of Communication 11(2017), 3721–3739 1932–8036/20170005 Revisiting the Origins of Communication Research: Walter Lippmann’s World War II Adventure in Propaganda and Psychological Warfare DOMINIQUE TRUDEL1 Concordia University, Canada Based on a close study of Walter Lippmann’s correspondence and publications, this article aims to critically reconsider his legacy in the field of communication. To this end, I focus on Lippmann’s involvement in propaganda and psychological warfare activities during the Second World War. Following a succinct overview of the history of the psychological warfare and propaganda agencies, I successively explore three different aspects of Lippmann’s involvement. First, this article examines Lippmann’s contribution to the activities of the Committee for National Morale. Second, the article focuses on the relationship between Lippmann and William “Wild Bill” Donovan, the director of the Office of the Coordinator of Information and the Office of Strategic Services. Third, the article turns to the relationship between Lippmann and Assistant Secretary of War John J. McCloy, and explores Lippmann’s role in the War Department’s Psychological Warfare Branch. Keywords: communication research history, propaganda, psychological warfare, Second World War Ex-Soviet agent Alexander Vassiliev, who was temporarily granted access to the KGB archives in the mid-1990s, recently revealed some interesting details about Soviet espionage activities in the United States during the Second World War. According to Vassiliev, Walter Lippmann, the famous columnist and communication research pioneer, was an important target for Soviet spies. They recruited his own secretary, Mary Price, as an agent (Haynes, Klehr, & Vassiliev, 2009). In November 1941, Price reported to her Soviet handlers that Lippmann was cutting short his newspaper articles and giving more of his time to secret meetings with government officials.

  • Rex Stout: Sherlockian Extraordinaire by Dan Andriacco
    Rex Stout: Sherlockian Extraordinaire By Dan Andriacco Given at The Red Circle of Washington, D.C., June 22, 2018 This talk is dedicated to the memory of my friend John McAleer. His authoritative biography of Rex Stout was a major source of inspiration and information for me. Perhaps it’s hard to recall now the shock, skepticism, cynicism, derision, and even scorn that greeted the announcement in 2012 that the actress Lucy Liu would play the part of Dr. Watson in the CBS program “Elementary.” But one of the great mystery writers of the twentieth century wouldn’t have even lifted an eyebrow at the news that “Watson Was a Woman.” For Rex Stout knew that decades ago. On January 31, 1941, at the dinner meeting of the Baker Street Irregulars in New York’s Murray Hill Hotel, guest-of-honor Stout declined to toast “the Second Mrs. Watson.” In his talk that followed, he unveiled his now- famous heresy that “the Watson person” who wrote the Canon was actually Mrs. Sherlock Holmes. Frederic Dannay, writing as Ellery Queen in the book In the Queen's Parlor, called Stout’s speech an H-Bomb – H for Holmes, of course. Speaking from notes, Stout cited many passages from the Sacred Writings that sounded to him as if they were written by a woman, and especially a wife. These included “I believe that I am one of the most long-suffering of mortals” and “I must have fainted” and “the relations between us in those days were peculiar.” The coup de grace, however, was an acrostic spelling out IRENE WATSON from the first letters of canonical tales.

  • Milestones in Network Radio: Suggestions for a Basic Collection of Network Radio Programs
    MILESTONES IN NETWORK RADIO: SUGGESTIONS FOR A BASIC COLLECTION OF NETWORK RADIO PROGRAMS ThesIs Ior the Degree of M. A. MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY John Edward Carl 196-4 THESIS IINHIWIIUHIWNIIIHIIWI 31293 00686 1334 i LIBRARY Michigan State University 6-» 3:34 1 W15 AUé 2 71999 ABSTRACT MILESTONES IN NETWORK RADIO: SUGGESTIONS FOR A BASIC COLLECTION OF NETWORK RADIO PROGRAMS by John Edward Carl To listen again to the programs of network radio would be enlightening for several reasons: the programs would provide a new view of network history, they would offer a direct study of various examples of sound and dramatic techniques used on radio, they would offer a fresh understanding of radio's popular art, they would reflect something of the life and times of that society which heard the broadcasts, and, most of all, the radio programs would vividly illustrate what the sound of network radio was really like. And in order that people may have the opportunity to hear again the broadcasts of network radio, recordings of these broad- casts should be gathered and held in a sound library. This sound library, then, would be a central location where one could go to check-out certain broadcasts for study. However: before a library can begin to accumulate its docu- ments, an evaluation process should be undertaken to decide which broadcasts were the important contributions to radio's history. It is, then, the purpose of this study to compile a list of significant broadcasts for such a sound library. More specifically, the purpose of this project is to both cate- gorically list the important programs, voices, and events that we re a part of the four major networks, and to give a brief explanation John Edward Carl of why each was important.

  • Mccarthyism: an ANALYSIS of the LEADERSHIP
    AIO McCARTHYISM: AN ANALYSIS OF THE LEADERSHIP AND RHETORICAL STRATEGIES OF AGITATION AND CONTROL THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Deborah K. Palmer, B. A. Denton, Texas December, 1978 Palmer, Deborah K. , McCarthyism: An Analysis of the Leader- ship and Rhetorical Strategies of Agitation and Control, Master of Arts (Speech Communication and Drama), December, 1978, 206 pp., bibliography, 162 titles. This study analyzes the leadership qualities of Joseph McCarthy and the rhetorical qualities of agitative and control forces in a specific social movement. The methods used are founded upon various theories outlined by sociologists, his- torians, and rhetoricians. This investigation is organized around the climate of the times, McCarthy's leadership develop- ment, agitative strategies, control group responses, and sup- port and opposition groups. It was found that the movement's success was probably due to McCarthy's position of attack and offense and to the con- trol group's failure to neither strongly confront McCarthy nor to maintain its preparedness and superiority. It is theorized that had the control group engaged earlier in strategies other than adjustment and avoidance, the movement might have been halted sooner. TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page I.

Adviser Department of Speech PREFACE Although commercial radio in this country was horn and managed to gather up a full head of develop­ mental steam in the 1920's, the mass radio medium did not reach full maturity until two decades later when American involvement in World War II pressured radio to achieve its "finest hour." Once limited to to situation comedies and soap operas, network radio offered the human drama of death, devestation, and despair to a nation at war in the 194-0's. Radio became a companion; a constant source of information and inspiration against which the print medium could not compete. This study presents a detailed investigation of . network radio's activities during the Second World War. The networks were each composed of a main sta­ tion in New York City and a varying number of local or affiliated stations around the country. As a limit­ ing factor, the contributions of such local stations, apart from their role as network disseminators, will not be discussed.
