Cleaning up Gulf Oil Spill in the Wake of Hurricane Alex Page 1 47 of 1000 DOCUMENTS NBC News Transcripts July 2, 2010 Friday SHOW: NBC Nightly News 6:30 PM EST NBC Cleaning up gulf oil spill in the wake of Hurricane Alex ANCHORS: KATE SNOW REPORTERS: ANNE THOMPSON LENGTH: 377 words KATE SNOW, anchor: Now to the gulf oil spill. In the wake of Hurricane Alex, officials are getting their first close look at the damage from the storm and the possible long-term effects. NBC New chief environmental affairs correspondent Anne Thompson joins us again tonight from Venice, Louisiana. Good evening, Anne. ANNE THOMPSON reporting: Good evening, Kate. After three days of being stuck onshore, today the cleanup crews went back to work. But following a storm like Alex, this was a day to rebuild and repair the defenses against the oil. As the flotilla of fishing boats re- turned to clean up and protect Louisiana's shoreline... Commander CLAUDIA GELZER: We're still dealing with some high seas out there. THOMPSON: ...from above, Coast Guard Commander Claudia Gelzer assessed the damage done by this week's storm. Cmdr. GELZER: Our battle's out here, not there. THOMPSON: With Fred Lemond of BP, they lead the response in Plaquemines Parish. At Breton Island, a refuge for pelicans and turns, boom lay scattered by the winds and waves. So this should all be connected? Cmdr. GELZER: Yes, ma'am. THOMPSON: And the storm separated it? Mr. FRED LEMOND: That is correct. THOMPSON: In parts of the Delta National Wildlife Refuge the storm forced boom into the marsh. But in many areas, the defenses held. How did you come through the storm? Cmdr. GELZER: I think it's not as bad as it could have been, but we got our work cut out for us. We really do. THOMPSON: She is not breathing easy. Cmdr. GELZER: Dodging a bullet is--it's like the caliber size of the bullet, because I think there's other bullets coming our way with the--with the way the weather patterns are here. Page 2 Cleaning up gulf oil spill in the wake of Hurricane Alex NBC News Transcripts July 2, 2010 Friday THOMPSON: Patterns that could create problems for other parts of the South. New models from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration show that by day 120, there is a 61 to 80 percent chance oil carried by the loop current could be in the Florida Keys, Miami and Fort Lauderdale. While the probability is high, the government says if the oil does reach the Keys and then the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area, that it will not come in the form of a slick, but rather in tar balls because it will have spent so much time in the water. Kate: SNOW: None of that good news. Anne Thompson, thanks so much.

The expenses included the static kill and cementing operation that stopped the oil spill and the drilling of the relief well. That operation could be com- pleted by the end of this week and seal the well for good.

Ken Feinberg is overseeing the $20 billion fund that BP established under pressure from the White House. He says he's doing everything he can to make sure people get help fast. Mr. KENNETH FEINBERG (Victims Compensation Fund Administrator): File a claim. Get an emergency payment of up to six months with no obligation whatsoever on your part other than to corroborate your claim. And after that, we'll offer you quickly an accelerated lump sum settlement payment for all of your injuries, for all of your claims. HOLT: Feinberg says until the oil stops spilling into the gulf, he won't know if the $20 billion fund is big enough to pay all legitimate claims.

As you may know, the government's been reporting that only about 25 percent of the oil from that spill remains. But is that at all accurate, and, in plane English, did anybody really think 90 days worth of crude oil was just somehow slowly vanishing? Our chief environmental af- fairs correspondent Anne Thompson is in Venice, Louisiana, for us once again tonight. Anne, good evening. ANNE THOMPSON reporting: Good evening, Brian. You know, at the heart this is a numbers game. And all sides on this issue admit no one knows for sure exactly how much oil is left in the Gulf of Mexico, but tonight there are clues about where some of it has gone. Pictures of an increasingly blue gulf seem to support this Obama administration claim two weeks ago. Ms. JANE LUBCHENCO (NOAA Administrator): (From August 4th) The vast majority of the oil has either evaporated or been burned, skimmed and recovered from the well head or dispersed. Mr. CHARLES HOPKINSON (University of Georgia): And that leaves, you know, 70 to 79 percent. THOMPSON: But today, researchers from the University of Georgia say their calculations don't support that conclu- sion, in part because they claim oil doesn't break down that fast. Mr. HOPKINSON: The idea that 75 percent of the oil is gone and is of no further concern to the environment is just absolutely incorrect. THOMPSON: The Georgia group insists more than half the oil spill, from 2.9 to 3.2 million barrels, is still in the gulf, far more than the nearly 1.3 million barrels the government estimates. Today in a statement, the government defended its oil budget, saying it was based on, quote, "direct measurements whenever possible, and the best available scientific estimates where direct measurements were not possible." So where is the oil? Researchers from the University of South Florida say they found some of it in microscopic droplets, underneath the surface and on the floor of the gulf, in far larger quantities than anticipated and in an area they didn't expect. Mr. JOHN PAUL (University of South Florida): We were surprised at how far east the oil had gotten, because this was about 40 miles from the Pensacola area. THOMPSON: Even though you can't see it, the unseen oil is still a threat. Not directly to people, but to the very basic elements of the food chain. Page 7 Gulf oil spill oil may not be as dissipated as previously thought NBC News Transcripts August 17, 2010 Tuesday Mr. BOB KIBLER: These are all identified. THOMPSON: Researcher Bob Kibler found benzine levels of up to 1,000 times higher than allowed in the mud of Lou- isiana's Four Bayou Pass, an area that nurtures a variety of living creatures. Things such as? Mr. KIBLER: Such as the small plankton, the small bacteria that are taken up by the oysters, that are taken up by the shrimp, and eventually work their way up the food chain. THOMPSON: And that's what concerns both independent scientists and the government alike, that no matter how you calculate the oil budget, that the true impact of this spill won't be known for years to come. Brian: WILLIAMS: Anne Thompson starting us off once again from Venice, Louisiana, tonight. Anne, thanks.

  • The Producing Process 3
    03-Schultz.qxd 6/29/2004 12:34 PM Page 37 The Producing Process 3 y now, you have a pretty good idea of what a producer does to get B a newscast on the air. So far, we have only talked about these duties in the abstract sense. It is now time to take a closer look at the step-by-step process of putting a show together. Story Ideas and News Value A newscast starts with a series of story ideas, which are nothing more than potential ideas that could eventually end up in the show. Story ideas come from a variety of sources, and the good producer will often come to work with several story ideas already formulated. These may come from other media, be follow-ups from stories done the previous day, or be a consequence of personal observation (see Table 3.1 for examples). Producers like their reporters to come to work with story ideas, and reporters should have some concrete suggestions for stories, even if these ideas never pan out. Too many reporters show up with the expectation that producers will have a story already assigned to them. This can waste a lot of precious news time as reporters scramble to try and set up a story or contact news sources. Producers and reporters will suggest their story ideas at the editorial meeting, where they and the news director will discuss events going on in the area. The purpose of the meeting is to consider all possible story ideas and narrow them down to a list of stories that will go in the newscast.

  • FAKE NEWS!”: President Trump’S Campaign Against the Media on @Realdonaldtrump and Reactions to It on Twitter
    “FAKE NEWS!”: President Trump’s Campaign Against the Media on @realdonaldtrump and Reactions To It on Twitter A PEORIA Project White Paper Michael Cornfield GWU Graduate School of Political Management [email protected] April 10, 2019 This report was made possible by a generous grant from William Madway. SUMMARY: This white paper examines President Trump’s campaign to fan distrust of the news media (Fox News excepted) through his tweeting of the phrase “Fake News (Media).” The report identifies and illustrates eight delegitimation techniques found in the twenty-five most retweeted Trump tweets containing that phrase between January 1, 2017 and August 31, 2018. The report also looks at direct responses and public reactions to those tweets, as found respectively on the comment thread at @realdonaldtrump and in random samples (N = 2500) of US computer-based tweets containing the term on the days in that time period of his most retweeted “Fake News” tweets. Along with the high percentage of retweets built into this search, the sample exhibits techniques and patterns of response which are identified and illustrated. The main findings: ● The term “fake news” emerged in public usage in October 2016 to describe hoaxes, rumors, and false alarms, primarily in connection with the Trump-Clinton presidential contest and its electoral result. ● President-elect Trump adopted the term, intensified it into “Fake News,” and directed it at “Fake News Media” starting in December 2016-January 2017. 1 ● Subsequently, the term has been used on Twitter largely in relation to Trump tweets that deploy it. In other words, “Fake News” rarely appears on Twitter referring to something other than what Trump is tweeting about.

  • Gone Rogue: Time to Reform the Presidential Primary Debates
    Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy Discussion Paper Series #D-67, January 2012 Gone Rogue: Time to Reform the Presidential Primary Debates by Mark McKinnon Shorenstein Center Reidy Fellow, Fall 2011 Political Communications Strategist Vice Chairman Hill+Knowlton Strategies Research Assistant: Sacha Feinman © 2012 President and Fellows of Harvard College. All rights reserved. How would the course of history been altered had P.T. Barnum moderated the famed Lincoln-Douglas debates in 1858? Today’s ultimate showman and on-again, off-again presidential candidate Donald Trump invited the Republican presidential primary contenders to a debate he planned to moderate and broadcast over the Christmas holidays. One of a record 30 such debates and forums held or scheduled between May 2011 and March 2012, this, more than any of the previous debates, had the potential to be an embarrassing debacle. Trump “could do a lot of damage to somebody,” said Karl Rove, the architect of President George W. Bush’s 2000 and 2004 campaigns, in an interview with Greta Van Susteren of Fox News. “And I suspect it’s not going to be to the candidate that he’s leaning towards. This is a man who says himself that he is going to run— potentially run—for the president of the United States starting next May. Why do we have that person moderating a debate?” 1 Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the 2008 Republican nominee for president, also reacted: “I guarantee you, there are too many debates and we have lost the focus on what the candidates’ vision for America is..

    `1 | P a g e "The History of NBC New York Television Studios, 1935-1956" Volume 1 of 2 By Bobby Ellerbee And Eyes Of A Generation.com Preface and Acknowledgement This is the first known chronological listing that details the conversions of NBC’s Radio City studios at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. Also included in this exclusive presentation by and for Eyes Of A Generation, are the outside performance theaters and their conversion dates to NBC Television theaters. This compilation gives us the clearest and most concise guide yet to the production and technical operations of television’s early days and the network that pioneered so much of the new medium. As you will see, many shows were done as “remotes” in NBC radio studios with in-house mobile camera units, and predate the official conversion date which signifies the studio now has its own control room and stage lighting. Eyes Of A Generation, would like to offer a huge thanks to the many past and present NBC people that helped, but most especially to Frank Merklein (NBC 1947-1961) Joel Spector (NBC 1965-2001), Dennis Degan (NBC 2003 to present), historian David Schwartz (GSN) and Gady Reinhold (CBS 1966 to present), for their first hand knowledge, photos and help. This presentation is presented as a public service by the world’s ultimate destination for television history…The Eyes Of A Generation. –Bobby Ellerbee http://www.eyesofageneration.com/ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Eyes-Of-A-Generationcom/189359747768249 `2 | P a g e "The History of NBC New York Television Studios, 1935-1956" Volume 1 of 2 Contents Please Note: Converted should be understood as the debut date of the facility as an exclusive TV studio, now equipped with its own control room.
