When did the rascals of “The Front Page” turn into the scoundrels of “Absence of Malice”? Why did reporters stop being heroes played by Clark Gable, Bette Davis and Cary Grant and become bit actors playing rogues dogging at the heels of Bruce Willis and Goldie Hawn? It all happened in the dark as people watched movies and sat at home listening to radio and watching television. “The Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture” explores the continuing, evolving relationship between the American people and their media. It investigates the conflicting images of reporters in movies and television and demonstrates, decade by decade, their impact on the American public’s perception of newsgatherers in the 20th century. The class shows how it happened first on the big screen, then on the small screens in homes across the country. The class investigates the image of the cinematic newsgatherer from silent films to the 1990s, from Hildy Johnson of “The Front Page” and Charles Foster Kane of “Citizen Kane” to Jane Craig in “Broadcast News.” The reporter as the perfect movie hero.

    Teaching Dickens A Masterpiece Guide Contents 2 Introduction 3 General Questions & Activities 7 Oliver Twist 10 David Copperfield 14 Little Dorrit 17 The Old Curiosity Shop 21 Stay Tuned: The Rise of the Killer Serial 26 Resources 29 Credits page 1 Introduction CHARLES DICKENS was the best-known novelist of his time, and is considered by many to be the greatest writer of the Victorian era. A social reformer, Dickens wrote sprawling serial novels that chronicled and condemned the injustices of Victorian society. Yet he was also a deft entertainer and satirist, creating vivid characters, such as Scrooge, Miss Havisham, and Uriah Heep, who are still a part of our culture today. As David Lodge, who adapted the 1995 MASTERPIECE THEATRE production of Martin Chuzzlewit, says in Norrie Epstein’s The Friendly Dickens (Penguin, 2001), “Dickens’ observation of folly, affectation, hypocrisy, self-deception, deception of others, and the way in which people manipulate language to these ends just tickles one. Dickens does what comedy has always done: it both exposes imperfections in the world and reconciles us to it by making something entertaining out of it.” Does Dickens still have something to say to us today? Use the activities and questions in this guide as you watch and read The Tales of Charles Dickens— the all-new 2009 MASTERPIECE adaptations of Oliver Twist, Little Dorrit, and The Old Curiosity Shop, as well as an encore presentation of David Copperfield, which originally aired in 2000. Whether through characters who have counterparts in current pop culture, plot twists that eerily echo stories in our own newspapers, or the universal questions Dickens raises about the mysteries of the human heart, this guide is designed to help readers see Dickens’ relevance to our world today.
