  • 2006-2007 Impact Report
    INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S MEDIA FOUNDATION The Global Network for Women in the News Media 2006–2007 Annual Report From the IWMF Executive Director and Co-Chairs March 2008 Dear Friends and Supporters, As a global network the IWMF supports women journalists throughout the world by honoring their courage, cultivating their leadership skills, and joining with them to pioneer change in the news media. Our global commitment is reflected in the activities documented in this annual report. In 2006-2007 we celebrated the bravery of Courage in Journalism honorees from China, the United States, Lebanon and Mexico. We sponsored an Iraqi journalist on a fellowship that placed her in newsrooms with American counterparts in Boston and New York City. In the summer we convened journalists and top media managers from 14 African countries in Johannesburg to examine best practices for increasing and improving reporting on HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria. On the other side of the world in Chicago we simultaneously operated our annual Leadership Institute for Women Journalists, training mid-career journlists in skills needed to advance in the newsroom. These initiatives were carried out in the belief that strong participation by women in the news media is a crucial part of creating and maintaining freedom of the press. Because our mission is as relevant as ever, we also prepared for the future. We welcomed a cohort of new international members to the IWMF’s governing board. We geared up for the launch of leadership training for women journalists from former Soviet republics. And we added a major new journalism training inititiative on agriculture and women in Africa to our agenda.

  • ABSTRACT Stereotypes of Asians and Asian Americans in the U.S. Media
    ABSTRACT Stereotypes of Asians and Asian Americans in the U.S. Media: Appearance, Disappearance, and Assimilation Yueqin Yang, M.A. Mentor: Douglas R. Ferdon, Jr., Ph.D. This thesis commits to highlighting major stereotypes concerning Asians and Asian Americans found in the U.S. media, the “Yellow Peril,” the perpetual foreigner, the model minority, and problematic representations of gender and sexuality. In the U.S. media, Asians and Asian Americans are greatly underrepresented. Acting roles that are granted to them in television series, films, and shows usually consist of stereotyped characters. It is unacceptable to socialize such stereotypes, for the media play a significant role of education and social networking which help people understand themselves and their relation with others. Within the limited pages of the thesis, I devote to exploring such labels as the “Yellow Peril,” perpetual foreigner, the model minority, the emasculated Asian male and the hyper-sexualized Asian female in the U.S. media. In doing so I hope to promote awareness of such typecasts by white dominant culture and society to ethnic minorities in the U.S. Stereotypes of Asians and Asian Americans in the U.S. Media: Appearance, Disappearance, and Assimilation by Yueqin Yang, B.A. A Thesis Approved by the Department of American Studies ___________________________________ Douglas R.

  • Peter Jennings Still the No. 1 News Anchorman but Tom Brokaw Now in Virtual Tie for First Place
    The Harris Poll THE HARRIS POLL 1994 #16 For release: Monday, March 14, 1994 PETER JENNINGS STILL THE NO. 1 NEWS ANCHORMAN BUT TOM BROKAW NOW IN VIRTUAL TIE FOR FIRST PLACE By Humphrey Taylor The battle to be the nation's most popular TV news anchorman is now a virtual dead heat between Peter Jennings of ABC and Tom Brokaw of NBC. In 1992 and 1993, Peter Jennings was the clear favorite. In this latest Harris Poll, he has slipped a little and Tom Brokaw has increased his following. Dan Rather of CBS is in third place, but is strongly positioned to challenge the front runners if either were to slip. L These are the results of a Harris Poll of 1,252 adults surveyed between Feb. 2 and 6, 1994. In 1992 and 1993 Harris Polls, Peter Jennings was clearly the most popular anchor, eleven points (in 1992) and eight points (in 1993) ahead of his nearest rival. In those years, Brokaw and Rather were in a virtual tie for second place. Now 30 percent of all adults prefer Peter Jennings, 29 percent prefer Tom Brokaw and 24 percent prefer Dan Rather. Support for Bernard Shaw of CNN, which was always a long way behind that of the three network anchors, has slipped slightly. Only 10 percent of adults prefer him to the other three anchors, compared to 13 percent in 1992 and 12 percent in 1993.
