The United States has been labeled an “entertainment economy” (Wolf, 1999), as content generated in Hollywood and other cities spans the globe. Surprisingly, there has been little examination of media-related employment in the scholarly literature in the United States.

Data-based papers showing employment trends are simply not available. Further, many trade associations for specific media industries lack accurate and timely employment related data. Clearly, there is a need for more research and analysis of media related employment in the United States. This paper attempts to provide some benchmarking data on U. S. media employ- ment. As such, this paper analyzes a 15 year period of employment from 1990 through 2006. In the next section, the literature on media employment that can be identified is reviewed and analyzed. LITERATURE REVIEW The following is a review of previous research and literature on employment in the media industries. Much of the literature focuses on the ability of new college and university graduates to locate employment in an area related to their field. Harwood (1989) provides one of the earliest studies on media employment with an examination of employment trends during the 1980s. Becker (1992) found that the unemployment rate among journalism and mass communication graduates went up in 1990, citing possible causes as the recession in the national economy and the influx of a record number of journalism and mass communication graduates into the labor market. Questionnaires were mailed to graduates from 80 different programs, and seeking data about job offers, employer types, part-time versus full-time employment, salaries, job satisfaction, job responsibilities, and type of degree received. The study concluded that more journalism and mass communication students than ever before were looking for work. Giles (1993) explored trends in the newspaper industry including the restructur- ing and rethinking of management, news coverage, advertising, and hiring practices. These changes were warranted by a change in customer needs because customers had more choices than ever before. When old models and expectations of increasing profits through customer sales no longer proved sufficient, the newspaper industry’s focus shifted to marketing and research tools to attract advertisers. Newspapers also became faced with new challenges in how they managed their workforce, particularly in areas

  • BIOGRAPHY BOB WOODRUFF ABC News Correspondent
    BIOGRAPHY BOB WOODRUFF ABC News Correspondent Bob Woodruff joined ABC News in 1996 and has covered major stories throughout the country and around the world for the network. He was named co-anchor of “ABC World News Tonight” in December 2005. On Jan. 29, 2006, while reporting on U.S. and Iraqi security forces, Woodruff was seriously injured by a roadside bomb that struck his vehicle near Taji, Iraq. In February 2007, just 13 months after being wounded, Woodruff returned to ABC News with his first on-air report, “To Iraq and Back: Bob Woodruff Reports.” The hour-long, prime-time documentary chronicled his traumatic brain injury (TBI), his painstaking recovery and the plight of thousands of service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with similar injuries. Since returning to the air, Woodruff has reported from around the globe. He has traveled to North Korea eight times, investigating the growing nuclear threats in the hands of Kim Jong Un. Since 2015, Woodruff has been ABC’s primary correspondent throughout Asia, especially China, reporting on topics ranging from the controversial treatment of Muslims in the Xinjiang province to the United States’ presence in the South China Sea. In 2008, ABC News aired his critically acclaimed documentary “China Inside Out,” which examined how China’s global rise impacts what’s being called the “Chinese Century.” On the streets of Manila, he has seen the rising violence and murders following President Rodrigo Duterte’s drug policies. He traveled to Japan in the wake of the devastating natural disasters to report on the stabilization of nuclear reactors in the country.

  • Post-Recovery, Bob Woodru Fights for Brain Injury Survivors
    APRIL/MAY 2016 BY GINA ROBERTS-GREY Post-Recovery, Bob Woodruo Fights for Brain Injury Survivors Bob Woodruo received the best care and a}ention azer a traumatic brain injury (TBI)— and made a remarkable recovery. Today, his foundation tries to ensure the same outcome for other TBI survivors. The details of his story are well-known. On January 29, 2006, Bob Woodruff, a television correspondent for ABC News, was embedded with the United States 4th Infantry Division near Taji, Iraq, to report on US and Iraqi security forces. Clad in helmets and body armor while traveling in an armored vehicle, he and an ABC cameraman stood with their heads above the vehicle's hatch to capture footage for a special report they were working on. Just 27 days earlier, Bob had been named to succeed Peter Jennings as co-anchor of ABC World News Tonight, capping a successful 17-year career as a journalist, covering the death of Pope John Paul II and the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, among other events. He and his wife, Lee, a novelist and contributing reporter to CBS This Morning, had four young children and lived busy, high-powered lives. That all changed when Bob's vehicle hit a roadside bomb. In the explosion of rocks and metal, Bob was critically injured, sustaining shrapnel wounds to the head. Within hours, he was rushed to surgery at an Air Force hospital in Iraq, where he underwent a craniectomy to relieve pressure in his brain. The procedure involves removing part of the skull to allow a swelling brain to expand without being squeezed, explains Gregory O'Shanick, MD, president and medical director of the Center for Neurorehabilitation Services in Richmond, VA, and national medical director emeritus of the Bob Woodruff (top, left) just two Brain Injury Association of America.

    NOVITA PR NEOCON 2021 BROADER DESIGN PITCH Update May 12: We wanted to send along an update on our NeoCon pitch plan. We’ve had great calls with several NeoCon manufacturers to get their take and are also using them as a resource for supporting collateral. Overall, we’ve received a lot of great positive feedback and have developed relevant, timely angles. The manufacturers we’ve been speaking to have given us the most feedback and strongest insight into the workplace category. Because of this and given that “return to workplace” stories are getting a lot of traction right now, we’ve been focusing on our long-lead, broadcast pitches around that vertical and around the first pitch listed farther down below (“Employee Expectations Have Changed: How the $12.83 Billion Commercial Interiors Industry is Designing for Mental Health, Inclusivity and More). In addition, we’ve been monitoring recent stories around the subject and we’re directly responding to these. Below are the recent pitches. We will be pitching the other angles in the upcoming weeks, as well as print + digital, and are reaching out to gather more intel on the other verticals so we can properly target those. We can provide more updates as we go.
