The GWMP encompasses some 7,428 acres in Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. For reasons that will later be explained, a small part of this acreage is not administered by its superintendent, and a greater amount of land formerly within GWMP now lies within another national park unit. Some of the GWMP acreage the superintendent administers is commonly known by other names, like Great Falls Park in Virginia and Glen Echo Park in Maryland. While most national park units may be characterized as predominantly natural, historical, or recreational, GWMP comprises such a diverse array of natural, historic, and recreational resources that it defies any such categorization. Further complicating matters, GWMP's superintendent also administers four other areas classed as discrete national park units-Arlington House, The Robert E.

  • Countherhistory Barbara Joan Zeitz, M.A. May 2019 Bffwomenjournalists-VII: Inspired by the Words of Award-Winning Journalist
    countHerhistory Barbara Joan Zeitz, M.A. May 2019 BFFWomenJournalists-VII: Inspired by the words of award-winning journalist and popular television host Christiane Amanpour, on November 1, 2018, who spoke of how the free press is, “the BFF of the people and not the enemy of the people.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nd0Blxbgpuw, prompted me to suggest she author a book expanding her friendly rhetoric to a larger audience. Then, awaiting Ms. Amanpour’s book, I wrote my November, 2018 column recalling historic women journalists from my previous columns, to support them, their profession and the free press. It has turned into a series of which this is my seventh column. Nancy Dickerson (1927-1997) was the first woman to be hired as a major network news correspondent in America in 1960. Born and raised in a suburb of Milwaukee, Nancy Conners Hanschman attended Clark College, a Catholic women’s college in Dubuque, Iowa, for two years. In her continued college studies at the University of Wisconsin she concentrated in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and earned her BA in 1948. She then taught school in Milwaukee until 1951 when she went to New York to find stimulating employment. Not finding much to her liking, she, much like Mr. Smith, went to Washington, D.C. There, in the Institute of Languages at Georgetown University, she worked as a registrar and took courses in speech and drama at Catholic University of America to improve her skills to pursue her goal of becoming a broadcaster. When a more interesting job of doing research for the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations availed itself to her, she took it.

Johnson presidency is unique in its collection of recordings of the chief executive’s activities. In the 1960s, the White House Naval Photographic Unit (NPC) began producing films that highlighted special presidential trips, visits, and events. Commander Thomas Atkins produced these films for the NPC, starting in 1963 in the John F. Kennedy administration and continuing through the Johnson years. About 43 of the 70+ films are available for viewing on the Lyndon B. Johnson Library’s YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL853F6EAB74B64D1D . Hofstra University’s Peter S. Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency has a full digitized set of the Atkins films, which are available for research in the Joan and Donald E. Axinn Library’s Special Collections room. In the summer of 2013, Ms. Nancy Lindemeyer (who, along with her husband, Robert Lindemeyer, served with Commander Atkins in the Navy) contacted Hofstra on behalf of the Atkins family to see if the Kalikow Center might be a suitable repository for the collection. Thanks to the generosity of the Atkins family and the cheerful, unstinting efforts of the Lindemeyers, the original 16 mm films were transferred to DVDs and became part of Hofstra’s holdings in 2015.

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.

Savoca June 2010 © 2010 Brianna L. Savoca. All Rights Reserved. This thesis titled Leon Bibb: A Pioneer in Ohio Broadcast Journalism by BRIANNA L. SAVOCA has been approved for the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism and the Scripps College of Communication by Mary T. Rogus Associate Professor of Journalism Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii Abstract SAVOCA, BRIANNA L., M.S., June 2010, Journalism Leon Bibb: A Pioneer in Ohio Broadcast Journalism (117 pp.) Director of Thesis: Mary T. Rogus Leon Bibb became Ohio’s first black primetime anchor in 1976 when he was promoted at WCMH-TV in Columbus, Ohio. He was also one of the first ten black primetime anchors in the country. Almost a decade later, he broke new ground again as the first black primetime anchor in Ohio’s largest television market when Cleveland’s WKYC-TV promoted him to the anchor desk in 1985. With this promotion, he became the seventh black primetime anchor in a top 20 market in the country. Bibb entered the journalism field during an era when there were very few blacks in the newsroom. A true trailblazer, Bibb opened the doors for many of Ohio’s black television journalists, and he continues to keep those doors open as a veteran television news anchor for WEWS-TV in Cleveland, Ohio.
