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.

  • SOME INTERESTING PITTSBURGHERS, 1911-1941 Part Two
    SOME INTERESTING PITTSBURGHERS, 1911-1941 Part Two Carlton G. Ketchum have already looked at some Pittsburghers of the earlier part We of this century who provided outstanding leadership for their hometown. Charles D. Armstrong, Homer D. Williams, Arthur E. Braun, the Mellons, James I. Buchanan, D. Lindsay Gillespie, and others took an active interest in Pittsburgh and worked hard to im- prove its image and upgrade the quality of life in the city. Though perhaps less well known, still others made lasting contributions to Pittsburgh and deserve our recognition. Railroaders In those days, the Pennsylvania Railroad contributed a good many memorable personalities to the city, and vice-presidents in charge of the central region (which meant the big area centering at Pittsburgh) were almost always vigorous, decisive, good mixers, and active in community affairs. Most of them were named Smith. The noted Jack Appleton came later, after World War II.Another rail- road executive who was long one of our civic leaders was Curtis M. Yohe, who headed the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad. His oppo- site number at the Pennsylvania Railroad was Ethelbert W. Smith, who preferred to be called "E. W." He explained to me and others that he had become an intercollegiate boxing champion at Lehigh be- cause he had had to fight his way up from "Ethelbert." He was a firm disciplinarian, but never in a boisterous way, and he ran a "tight ship." Merchants In those same years, we were fortunate in that our department stores were home-owned and frequently headed by men who became outstanding citizens, giving their leadership to many community affairs.
