    " WE CAN NOW PROJECT..." ELECTION NIGHT IN AMERICA By. Sean P McCracken "CBS NEWS now projects...NBC NEWS is ready to declare ...ABC NEWS is now making a call in....CNN now estimates...declares...projects....calls...predicts...retracts..." We hear these few opening words and wait on the edges of our seats as the names and places which follow these familiar predicates make very well be those which tell us in the United States who will occupy the White House for the next four years. We hear the words, follow the talking-heads and read the ever changing scripts which scroll, flash or blink across our television screens. It is a ritual that has been repeated an-masse every four years since 1952...and for a select few, 1948. Since its earliest days, television has had a love affair with politics, albeit sometimes a strained one. From the first primitive experiments at the Republican National Convention in 1940, to the multi angled, figure laden, information over-loaded spectacles of today, the "happening" that unfolds every four years on the second Tuesday in November, known as "Election Night" still holds a special place in either our heart...or guts. Somehow, it still manages to keep us glued to our television for hours on end. This one night that rolls around every four years has "grown up" with many of us over the last 64 years. Staring off as little more than chalk boards, name plates and radio announcers plopped in front of large, monochromatic cameras that barely sent signals beyond the limits of New York City and gradually morphing into color-laden, graphic-filled, information packed, multi channel marathons that can be seen by virtually...and virtually seen by...almost any human on the planet.

  • A TEN YEAR REPORT the Institute of Politics
    A TEN YEAR REPORT 1966-1967 to 1976-1977 The Institute of Politics John Fitzgerald Kennedy School of Government Harvard University A TEN YEAR REPORT 1966-1967 to 1976-1977 The Institute of Politics John Fitzgerald Kennedy School of Government Harvard University 1 The Institute of Politics Richard E. Neustadt, Director, 1966-1971 The urge to found an Institute of Politics had little to do with Harvard. It came, rather, from a natural concern of President Kennedy's family and friends after his death. The JFK library, al­ ready planned to house his presidential papers, was also to have been a headquarters for him when he retired from the Presidency. Now it would be not a living center focussed on him, active in the present, facing the future, but instead only an archive and museum faced to­ ward the past. The Institute was somehow to provide the living ele­ ment in what might otherwise soon turn into a "dead" memorial. Nathan Pusey, at the time Harvard's President, then took an initiative with Robert Kennedy, proposing that the Institute be made a permanent part of Harvard's Graduate School of Public Administra­ tion. The School—uniquely among Harvard's several parts—would be named for an individual, John F. Kennedy. Robert Kennedy ac­ cepted; these two things were done. The Kennedy Library Corpora­ tion, a fund-raising body charged to build the Library, contributed endowment for an Institute at Harvard. The University renamed its School the John Fitzgerald Kennedy School of Government, and created within it the Institute of Politics.

  • The Political Process
    1980-81 Institute of Politics John F.Kennedy School of Government Harvard University PROCEEDINGS Institute of Politics 1980-81 John F. Kennedy School of Government Harvard University FOREWORD Here is Proceedings '81, the third edition of this annual retrospective of the Institute of Politics. It serves the function of an annual report, but it is more than that. Part One, "Readings," is a sampling of written and spoken words drawn from the many formats of Institute activity: panel discussions and speeches in our Forum, dialogue among conference participants, an essay from a faculty study group, stu­ dent writing from the Harvard Political Review, personal evalutions from a summer intern and from our resident Fellows, and so forth. They contain impassioned rhetoric from controversial figures as well as opinion and analysis from less well- known individuals. This year we even have a poem and a little humor. Taken together, the "Readings," represent a good cross-section of what happens here. Part Two, 'Programs," is a record of all the events sponsored by the Institute dur­ ing the 1980-81 academic year. This section delineates the participation of hundreds of individuals who together make the Institute the lively, interactive place that it is. Although they are not all captured on tape or on paper, their contributions make this place come alive, and this listing is a recognition of that. Thus, the annual editions of Proceedings provide an ongoing portrait of the In­ stitute of Politics. I hope you find it both informative and enjoyable.

Morehead State University, 1995 A content analysis of the evening news broadcasts of the American Broadcasting Company (ABC), Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) and National Broadcasting Company (NBC) was conducted to determine whether gender bias exists in the story assignments made to network television reporters. The study was a follow-up to two previous gender bias studies conducted by Singleton and Cook (1982) and Ziegler and White (1990). Abstracts of 10 randomly selected week-long evening news broadcasts on the three networks were used to conduct the content analysis. Results showed significant difference at the .001 level in the story assignments made to male and female reporters in four categories, and significant differences in the .05 level or below in six other categories. Women correspondents were significantly less likely to deliver reports in the priority, or top three, positions of the newscast.
