  • The Guardian's Coverage of the Virginia Tech Massacre
    Through "Foreign" Eyes: The Guardian's Coverage of the Virginia Tech Massacre A thesis presented to the faculty of the Scripps College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science Jared D. Hargis June 2009 © 2009 Jared D. Hargis. All Rights Reserved This thesis titled Through "Foreign" Eyes: The Guardian's Coverage of the Virginia Tech Massacre by JARED D. HARGIS has been approved for the E. W. Scripps School of Journalism and the Scripps College of Communication by Bill Reader Assistant Professor of Journalism Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii ABSTRACT HARGIS, JARED D., M.S., June 2009, Journalism Through "Foreign" Eyes: The Guardian's Coverage of the Virginia Tech Massacre (125 pp.) Director of Thesis: Bill Reader This thesis presents a textual analysis and a descriptive content analysis of how the British newspaper The Guardian covered the Virginia Tech school shootings that took place on 16 April 2007. Analysis of the first eight days of coverage, totaling 61 articles, added to the existing research on media coverage of school shootings by understanding how the media lens of an influential British newspaper viewed the “gun culture” of the United States. The results of this study indicate that The Guardian’s coverage suggests that the “gun culture” of the United States may be directly responsible for the Virginia Tech school shootings, and that the newspaper and its readers (via their feedback) have constructed a collective argument that such events are inevitable when guns are so readily accessible as they are in the United States.

  • WHY BRANDING CAN INCREASE a PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE's VALUE: a RATIONALE for DESIGNER ENGAGEMENT a Thesis Presented in Partial Fu
    WHY BRANDING CAN INCREASE A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE’S VALUE: A RATIONALE FOR DESIGNER ENGAGEMENT A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Fine Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Brandan Craft ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Master’s Examination Committee: Approved by Professor R. Brian Stone, Advisor Dr. Noel Mayo Advisor Peter Chan, PhD Graduate Program in Industrial, Interior, and Visual Communication Design Copyright by Brandan Craft 2008 ABSTRACT Brands allow consumers to make choices. They help them differentiate one individual, business, or product from the other by delivering a promise that leads to expectations and perceptions. The value of a brand is measured by this perception. What the consumer perceives a business to be, not the business’s perception, is that business’s brand. Designers play a large part in influencing this perception by creating brand identity systems that become the tangible expression of a business’s identity. There is an opportunity for designers to play a larger role in a business’s success by capitalizing on the increasing reliance on branding to assist in wealth generation. Professional athletes are small businesses. They are distinct individuals that ultimately rely on their fans to build wealth. The fan’s perception of an athlete, that athlete’s brand, influences the differentiation of one player from another. The decision to invest in the brand, whether it is to watch a game on television, buy tickets to the game, or purchase a player’s jersey after the game, rests on this perception.
