  • 2014 Accepted Research Papers (Alphabetical by Authors’ Last Name)
    2014 Accepted Research Papers (Alphabetical by Authors’ Last Name) Stephen A. Banning, Bradley The Whitechapel Club: Bohemian Journalists Shun Elitism in Nineteenth Century Chicago Recent research has revealed elitism among nineteenth century journalists, and a desire to self- identify as professionals. This is important to the development of journalism in that it emphasized university education, codes of ethics and professional organizations. These factors came to fruition in the early twentieth century with university schools of journalism at Missouri and Columbia University, the formation of Sigma Delta Chi and the American Society of Newspaper Editors and their codes of ethics. Bohemian press clubs seemed to contradict this, being the antithesis of the concept of a elite expert working class. Some of these clubs existed even late into the nineteenth century. This research examined Chicago’s Whitechapel Club in relation to how and why it differed from the elite press clubs. Katie Beardsley, Temple, and Carrie Teresa, Niagara Narrative Analysis of the Central Park Jogger Story in the New York Amsterdam News On April 19, 1989, a white female jogger was attacked and raped in New York’s Central Park. Although there were no witnesses or physical evidence to tie suspects to the crime, five Black and Latino youths were eventually arrested and convicted of the time. Existing scholarship on the Central Park jogger case has suggested that the mainstream press portrayed these five teenagers as animals who preyed on an innocent white woman. This paper fills a gap in scholarship by offering a case study of the narrative of the Central Park jogger case outside the mainstream press.
