PUB DATE Apr 95 NOTE 27p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association (San Francisco, CA, April 18-22, 1995). PUB TYPE Reports Research/Technical (143) Speeches/Conference Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Age Differences; Age Discrimination; *Cartoons; Childhood Attitudes; *Childrens Television; Consumer Economics; Ethnic Bias; Mass Media Effects; *Mass Media Role; Moral Values; *Programming (Broadcast); Racial Differences; Sex Bias; Sex Differences; Sex Stereotypes; *Social Cognition; Socioeconomic Influences; *Values IDENTIFIERS *Cartoon Characters ABSTRACT This paper examines the effects of Saturday morning cartoons on children's perceptions of social reality. The study consisted of an analysis of programs appearing between 8 and 11 o'clock in the morning on September 15, 1990, and June 9, 1992, focusing on the ethnicity, gender, and age of characters, the positive or negative portrayal of characters, and the characters' positions of authority. The study found that the Saturday morning cartoons reviewed contained few older characters, and that the majority of these were depicted as either evil or incompetent. Of the characters whose ethnicity could be determined, 32 percent belonged to ethnic minorities, though fully 60 percent of these minority characters were in one show ("Kid 'N Play"). Only 17.8 percent of the characters in 1990 and 23.8 percent in 1992 were female. Cartoon settings, plot types, values, morality, and inherent consumerism are also analy..ed and discussed. Overall, the paper concludes that Saturday morning children's programming teaches children that white men are the most important and powerful people in society; that women are underrepresented everywhere; that the world is a scary place; and, that they should belong and be loyal to a group and never act on their own.

    Transcript of oral history interview with Joseph Waters Gladstone/ Maplewood Fire Department, 1980-2007 by Kate Cavett of HAND in HAND Productions and Bob Jensen, President, Maplewood Area Historical Society for the Maplewood Area Historical Society December 16, 2013 at HAND in HAND Productions’ office in Saint Paul, Minnesota 1 © Maplewood Area Historical Society 2014 This project has been made possible by the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the vote of Minnesotans on November 4, 2008.

Oral histories are personal memories shared from the perspective of the narrator. By means of recorded interviews oral history documents collect spoken memories and personal commentaries of historical significance. These interviews are transcribed verbatim and minimally edited for accessibility. Greatest appreciation is gained when one can listen to an oral history aloud. Oral histories do not follow the standard language usage of the written word. Transcribed interviews are not edited to meet traditional writing standards; they are edited only for clarity and understanding. The hope of oral history is to capture the flavor of the narrator’s speech and convey the narrator’s feelings through the timbre and tempo of speech patterns. An oral history is more than a family tree with names of ancestors and their birth and death dates. Oral history is recorded personal memory, and that is its value. What it offers complements other forms of historical text, and does not always require historical corroboration.

When did the rascals of “The Front Page” turn into the scoundrels of “Absence of Malice”? Why did reporters stop being heroes played by Clark Gable, Bette Davis and Cary Grant and become bit actors playing rogues dogging at the heels of Bruce Willis and Goldie Hawn? It all happened in the dark as people watched movies and sat at home listening to radio and watching television. “The Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture” explores the continuing, evolving relationship between the American people and their media. It investigates the conflicting images of reporters in movies and television and demonstrates, decade by decade, their impact on the American public’s perception of newsgatherers in the 20th century. The class shows how it happened first on the big screen, then on the small screens in homes across the country. The class investigates the image of the cinematic newsgatherer from silent films to the 1990s, from Hildy Johnson of “The Front Page” and Charles Foster Kane of “Citizen Kane” to Jane Craig in “Broadcast News.” The reporter as the perfect movie hero.

    Second Saturday @ Museum SPECIAL VETERANS DAY RECOGNITION PROGRAM for America's Flying Ace New Hampshire's Native Son

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FROM: Jack Ferns, Executive Director Aviation Museum of New Hampshire 27 Navigator Road Londonderry, NH 03053 (603) 669-4877 Second Saturday @ Museum SPECIAL VETERANS DAY RECOGNITION PROGRAM FOR America’s Flying Ace New Hampshire’s Native Son, Joe McConnell It’s been nearly sixty years since the tragic loss of Dover native and national US Air Force hero Captain Joseph Christopher McConnell Jr. To this day Captain McConnell remains the top American air ace; a triple-ace having recorded 16 shoot-downs of MIGs n the Korean War with F86 Sabre Jets (“MIG:” from the Russian term Mikoyan-Gurevich Design Bureau which was responsible for developing the Soviet aircraft design). McConnell was also the first jet-on-jet fighter ace and ranks among the top ten aces in world aviation history. He was born in Dover in 1922, the son of Joseph C. McConnell Sr. and Phyllis Winfred Brooks, and attended local schools. He started his military career in 1940 when he enlisted the First Infantry Division of the US Army at Fort Devens, Mass. Later he received a transfer to the Air Corps. His dream of becoming a fighter pilot was dashed when instead of going to pilot training he was assigned to navigator school. Upon being certified a navigator, he flew combat missions in World War II in Europe as the navigator on a B-24 Liberator. On August 20, 1942 he married Pearl Edna “Butch” Brown in Fitchburg, Mass. He eventually entered flight training and in 1948 he achieved his goal of becoming a fighter pilot.

    December 2014 Volume 53 Issue 12 Presidents notes N1EZH Barry Kennedy Presidents Monthly Message for December 2014 from Barry – N1EZH: Please Note: There will NOT be a December MARA Monthly Meeting! Winter is almost upon us and judging from the weather, may be a long one this year! I was able to basically trade my Tipper Mount and masts that were for a 39’ Rohn 25G Tower that I may only put up about 29’ with a tilt over of some sort which I hope to be able to clean up, paint and put up in the Spring. With the additional Rotor and mast for the antennas will be about 36’ or so tall when I am done. This will make it a few feet higher than my old one from a couple of years ago before the storm took it down. If anyone else in our club has done a project this year, or may be planning one either during the Winter or next Spring, then please take some photos and submit them to Rick – [email protected] so he can put them in our MARA Newsletter. For those of you that are on Facebook, I began a Massasoit Amateur Radio Association Facebook Page and have posted several items of interest on there. I have been updating the page with Club Events, photos, etc.from time to time in the hope that it will become another avenue for us in which to spark interest in our club and keep members informed of what we are doing outside of our Club Meetings and in our Community.

    THE ACADEMY MONITOR VOLUME 9, ISSUE 3 FROM THE COMMANDANT 3 R Greetings from the great Halls of Learning, D Starfleet Academy! From the Principal’s Office Q I’m not going to list all the awardees from the Academy as they have been sent to several venues, but we had lots. U I enjoyed my very first IC and hope to make it to another one sometime. It won’t be next year, unfortunately. A According to Tammy Willcox, our Scholarship director, she, Bran Stimpson and Linda Olsen have an email R exchange going on regarding some fliers/tri-folds to be used to promote the scholarship program both internally via membership packets and possible recruiting at T colleges and/or conventions and events where STARFLEET members are recruiting people. According to Linda Olson, $174.00 was collected for the Scholarship Fund through new or renewing memberships, bringing a E total donated thru Membership Processing to $403.00 for Promotions the next fiscal year. 2 R Outstanding Students There was a great deal of flak about the Pennies project 3 that R12 started last year prior to this year's IC. What are Cadet News 4 your thoughts on this being some type of official project and promoted through the STARFLEET website? No one Staff/Director/ I/C Awards 5-13 has actually approached her making it official, though Wayne Killough did bring the program up earlier in the Academy Grads 13-21 2 year, and it was brought up at the IC.
