These newspapers were typical of the press in the American West. Their editors were tireless boosters for their communities. They were constantly involved in personal journalistic battles with fellow news- mena These pioneer newspapermen established their papers as political organs, with hopes of winning the city and county printing contracts from the politicians in power. And the editors reflected their parti- sanship in the news columns and editorial pages. Gradually this stage of newspaper boosterism and political partisanship evolved into a one- man monopoly newspaper situation of unbiased news coverage relying on advertising for revenue. This process is evident in microcosm in towns within the Territory, and later the State of Oklahoma. In particular, this case study will show how this pattern worked in the town of Lawton, Oklahomae No important investigation ever has been made of daily newspaper operatio~s in Oklahoma, and little has been done on small town journalism anywhere.

  • Head Coach Mark Williams BOOMER SOONER Norman and Oklahoma City
    A TRADITION AND HISTORY OF EXCELLENCE The University of Oklahoma men’s gymnastics program is based on a foundation and tradition of excellence. That tradition includes eight NCAA team championships, 19 conference championships, seven Nissen-Emery award winners and 231 All Americans. We are led by student-athletes willing to persevere in times of adversity and work hard every day with an unbending will to prepare and succeed. Whether it’s striving for success in the classroom or on the competition floor, we always capitalize on the opportunities in front of us. Through dedication to the schedule and plan, commitment to a refinement of the details and putting action to that preparation, excellent results have followed. From our longtime partnership with Cleveland Elementary School to joining five Sooners at the Olympics in London this summer, it is a privilege and an honor to work with these student-athletes. At Oklahoma, we provide the avenues to reach the highest level. Our team accomplishments in the past 13 years are unprecedented. We take pride in helping student-athletes live their dreams beyond OU, to compete at World Championships, Olympic Games or other international events. Inspiring student-athletes to compete at the highest levels in all that they do – that’s what we aspire to achieve at Oklahoma.

  • 1 Oklahoma Newspaper Digitization Project 1. Description of the Project
    Oklahoma Newspaper Digitization Project 1. Description of the Project For the National Digital Newspaper Program, the Oklahoma Historical Society will partner with the University of North Texas and the Oklahoma Press Association to digitize approximately 100,000 newspaper pages. The partnership will demonstrate that it holds the digital expertise, staff, advisors, vendors, and resources to effectively accomplish the work plan for this program. The Oklahoma Historical Society (OHS) has the collections and knowledge of Oklahoma newspapers that, when coupled with The University of North Texas’ (UNT) experience in large‐scale digital conversion projects, brings the skill to manage a challenging project such as this. OHS, with the cooperation of the Oklahoma Press Association (OPA), will handle the selection process of titles, as well as the scholarly essays. UNT will outsource production of the deliverables, while managing the quality of the product for transfer to the Library of Congress (LC). Through the National Digital Newspaper program, OHS and UNT intend to deliver 100,000 pages of Oklahoma newspapers to the Library of Congress. Digitization of all deliverables will fully comply with the specifications outlined in the document, The National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP) Technical Guidelines for Applicants. For each title, the partnership will transmit the following: an up‐to‐date MARC record from the CONSER database, title‐ level metadata, and a 500‐word essay about the scope, content, history, and significance of the title. For each issue, the partnership will deliver required structural metadata. For each newspaper page, the partnership will send the following deliverables per Library of Congress specifications: two page images in raster formats, a 400dpi grayscale uncompressed TIFF 6.0 and the same image compressed as a JPE20000; a file with OCR text and associated bounding boxes; a PDF image with hidden text; structural metadata; technical metadata.
