Scott Campbell certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: PERFECTION, WRETCHED, NORMAL, AND NOWHERE: A REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY OF AMERICAN TELEVISION SETTINGS Committee: Chairperson* Date approved: ii ABSTRACT Drawing inspiration from numerous place image studies in geography and other social sciences, this dissertation examines the senses of place and regional identity shaped by more than seven hundred American television series that aired from 1947 to 2007. Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West. The dissertation concludes with a comparison of television‘s senses of place to those described in previous studies of regional identity. iii For Sue iv CONTENTS List of Tables vi Acknowledgments vii 1.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Communications COMPETITION AND PROGRAM TYPE DIVERSITY IN THE OVER-THE-AIR TELEVISION INDUSTRY, 1943-2005 A Thesis in Mass Communications by Young Shin Cho © 2007 Young Shin Cho Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2007 The thesis of Young-Shin Cho was reviewed and approved* by the following: Richard Taylor Palmer Chair of Telecommunications Studies and Law Thesis Advisor Chair of Committee Matt Jackson Associate Professor of Communications Krishna Jayakar Associate Professor of Communications Lynette Kvasny Assistant Professor of Information Sciences and Technology John S. Nichols Professor of Communications Associate Dean for Graduates Studies and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ABSTRACT Competition and diversity are touchstones in media policy, but the relationship between them is not clear despite a great number of studies because even studies dealing with their relationship, did not measure the intensity of competition. This paper investigates the relationship between market competition and program type diversity in the over-the-air television industry. Specifically, market competition is divided into intra-network competition and intra-media competition, i.e. terrestrial television vs. cable TV. Also this paper uses a comprehensive model of program types, with 281 program type categories, which have never been used in previous studies. The results show that program type diversity keeps decreasing over time and intra-network competition has a negative effect on program type diversity. Also, intra- network competition is a more important factor on program type diversity than inter- media competition.

  • The Pre-Sullivan Common Law Web of Protection Against Political Defamation Suits
    THE PRE-SULLIVAN COMMON LAW WEB OF PROTECTION AGAINST POLITICAL DEFAMATION SUITS James Maxwell Koffler* New York Times v. Sullivan altered the course of U.S. defamation laws by demanding that public officials filing libel or slander suits based on their official acts meet tests emanating from the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. This framework has favored defendants in defamation suits brought by public officials and candidates for public office. Lost in the loud majestic music of the opinion in Sullivan is the trend evinced in the soft lyrics of lower court common law decisions in the decades preceding 1964 where judges ruled against political plaintiffs filing defamation suits. A survey of hundreds of judicial decisions from 1870-1964 shows the existence of an informal common law web constraining political libel and slander cases. Three filaments of that web are highlighted: court decisions limiting what was defamatory and what were considered special damages; the qualified privileges of common interest and fair comment; and judicial modification of damage awards. This Article further argues that lower courts deciding the weaponized libel suits of the civil rights movement in the 1960s ignored this common law web and that the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Sullivan was defensible. This Article concludes that * LL.M., 2018, New York University School of Law; J.D., 2012, Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University.
