As someone adjusts the tuning knob, a distinct and serious voice cuts through the airwaves: “This … is London.” And so begins a riveting first- hand account of the infamous “London Blitz,” the wholesale bombing of that city by the German air force in World War II. -

The Effects of Variables in Oral History: Palm Beach County, Florida
THE EFFECTS OF VARIABLES IN ORAL HISTORY: PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA by Lise M. Steinhauer A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, Florida August 2010 Copyright by Lise M. Steinhauer 2010 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In 2004 I earned a bachelor’s degree in English at Florida Atlantic University, where Kitty Oliver introduced me to oral history. Her two courses resulted in my essay in Multicultural Reflections on “Race and Change,” ed. Kitty Oliver (Boca Raton: Bordighera Press, 2006). During two internships in Public History with the Historical Society of Palm Beach County (HSPBC), I learned a more traditional style of oral history under Debi Murray, the director of research and archives. With encouragement from Professor Oliver, I pursued this degree in Liberal Studies to combine history and communications knowledge and skills relevant to a career in oral history. This gratifying art clearly combined my three passions: history, research, and writing. When Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in 2005, at Kitty Oliver’s suggestion, I interviewed evacuees who had been displaced to an equestrian center in Boynton Beach. My work has also included oral histories for the HSPBC, the Boca Raton Historical Society, and private clients; fifty interviews with analysis for a nonprofit’s strategic planning; he Docent Training Manual and Notables exhibit for the Richard and Pat Johnson Historical Museum of Palm Beach County; and the research and text for the HSPBC Web site, Palm Beach County History Online. -

ARSC Journal, Vol
NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO ARTS AND PERFORMANCE PROGRAMS By Frederica Kushner Definition and Scope For those who may be more familiar with commercial than with non-commercial radio and television, it may help to know that National Public Radio (NPR) is a non commercial radio network funded in major part through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and through its member stations. NPR is not the direct recipient of government funds. Its staff are not government employees. NPR produces programming of its own and also uses programming supplied by member stations; by other non commercial networks outside the U.S., such as the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC); by independent producers, and occasionally by commercial networks. The NPR offices and studios are located on M Street in Washington, D.C. Programming is distributed via satellite. The radio programs included in the following listing are "arts and performance." These programs were produced or distributed by the Arts Programming Department of NPR. The majority of the other programming produced by NPR comes from the News and Information Department. The names of the departments may change from time to time, but there always has been a dichotomy between news and arts programs. This introduction is not the proper place for a detailed history of National Public Radio, thus further explanation of the structure of the network can be dispensed with here. What does interest us are the varied types of programming under the arts and performance umbrella. They include jazz festivals recorded live, orchestra concerts from Europe as well as the U.S., drama of all sorts, folk music concerts, bluegrass, chamber music, radio game shows, interviews with authors and composers, choral music, programs illustrating the history of jazz, of popular music, of gospel music, and much, much more. -

Quiet Down for “Jesse Time” Jesse Helms and the Making of Conservative Media in North Carolina
Introduction: Quiet Down for “Jesse Time” Jesse Helms and the Making of Conservative Media in North Carolina The people - particularly the little people - are the ones who suffer most, because they lose their freedom first, and regain it, if at all, last. At the risk of sermonizing, it might be well to remind that America was founded by little people who wanted to be free. One important set of values hasn’t changed since Biblical times: a birthright still is worth more than a mess of pottage. - Jesse Helms, Viewpoint #69 (February 28, 1961) When I started this project, I was interested in how Republican Jesse Helms, North Carolina’s longest-serving senator, managed to make economic conservatism appealing for working-class whites in central and eastern North Carolina. I was raised in the western end of the state, so I was familiar with Helms as a senator, but no one around me growing up thought of him as a journalist. I did not learn until I came to UNC that he had risen to prominence as the voice of Viewpoint, an editorial series on WRAL radio and WRAL-TV. Helms’s rhetorical style fascinated me, so I decided to explore his journalistic style for my thesis. As I was discussing the project with a research librarian, her eyes lit up as soon as I said that I was focusing on Helms’s time hosting Viewpoint. “Yeah, his editorials were insanely popular,” she told me. “I remember my mom telling me that whenever Viewpoint came on, my grandmother would tell all the kids to be quiet for ‘Jesse Time.’ No one came between her and Jesse.” My jaw dropped. -
