  • How the Atlanta Daily World Covered the Struggle for African American Rights from 1945 to 1985
    Abstract Title of Dissertation: THE CAUTIOUS CRUSADER: HOW THE ATLANTA DAILY WORLD COVERED THE STRUGGLE FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN RIGHTS FROM 1945 TO 1985 Name: Maria E. Odum-Hinmon Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Dissertation Directed By: Prof. Maurine Beasley, Ph. D. Philip Merrill College of Journalism This dissertation is a study of the Atlanta Daily World, a conservative black newspaper founded in 1928, that covered the civil rights struggle in ways that reflected its orientation to both democratic principles and practical business concerns. The World became the most successful black daily newspaper in the nation after becoming a daily in 1932 and maintaining that status for nearly four decades. This dissertation details how this newspaper chronicled the simultaneous push for civil rights, better conditions in the black community, and recognition of black achievement during the volatile period of social change following World War II. Using descriptive, thematic analysis and in-depth interviews, this dissertation explores the question: How did the Atlanta Daily World crusade for the rights of African Americans against a backdrop of changing times, particularly during the crucial forty- year period between 1945 and 1985? The study contends that the newspaper carried out its crusade by highlighting information and events important to the black community from the perspective of the newspaper’s strong-willed publisher, C. A. Scott, and it succeeded by relying on Scott family members and employees who worked long hours for low wages. The study shows that the World fought against lynching and pushed for voting rights in the 1940s and 1950s. The newspaper eschewed sit-in demonstrations to force eateries to desegregate in the 1960s because they seemed dangerous and counterproductive when the college students wound up in jail rather than in school.

Standing at this intersection of enduring inequities and emerging threats, we could take many roads: denial, cynicism, scapegoating, surrender. But those paths are all dead ends. At the Aspen Institute, we choose instead the path of humanistic optimism and the motivation it fuels Oto make a diference. It comes down to this: we can and must use our core human capacities for love, reason, empathy, and invention to solve the unprecedented challenges facing our world.

Earlier cases have challenged the testing procedures 2 as, for example, in erythropoietin (EPO), 3 nandrolone, and homologous blood transfusions, 4 but none match the challenge in the Landis case, which went far beyond the testing methodology for the detection of testosterone.
