Seven newscasts were studied on each of the stations. Each newscast was recorded on the same night, over a seven-week period. The first three newscasts were recorded on June 1, 2003. The 6nal three newscasts were recorded on July 19, 2003. The study evaluated the amount of time devoted to nine areas that comprise most of the cootW offered by traditional local television newscasts: local news, state news, national/world news, issue-oriented reporting, local features, outside-source features, weather, ^xxts, and promotions. As a percentage o f total newscast time, the newscasts Matured a small amount of local news. The station averages for the seven wedcs studied were very similar, with loctd news comprising 14.8% to 17.7% o f each newscast. Reports within the newscast often lacked new information or even clarity. Attribution of sources was rare and many stories were incomplete. A il three statirms spent a great deal o f time on sports and weather, considering that much o f the information presented in these segments had little or no local relevance. One o f the most striking Endings o f the study involved the amount o f time devoted to promotions within the newscast. A ll of the stations devoted more time to promotions than state news or issue-oriented reporting. W XM I devoted more o f its newscasts (7.7% ) to promotion than any news content area, with the exception o f local news and national/world news. Local T V News ii Acknowledgements This study would not have been possible without the assistance o f several of this researcWr's colleagues at Grand Valley State University. Michael Pritchard served as chair o f this thesis committee and also guided this res^wcher through a number o f courses that resulted in the decision to pursue this topic.

    TELEVISION VOLUME VIII NUMBER 2 SPRING 1969 QUARTERLY THE JOURNAL OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF TELEVISION ARTS AND SCIENCES Published by The National Academy ofTelevisionArtsandSciencesin cooperation with the School of Public Communication, Boston University THE ONE THING CLEARLY PREDICTABLE FOR 1969 Even in 1968, the most unpredictable of years, it wasa virtual certainty that NBC News would win a flock of important awards. That's just what happened. Programs and personnel of NBC News television and radio garnered many dozens of formal honors from universities, press associations, pub- lications, foundations and the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Such recognition is tremendously gratifying. We're confident it will help inspire the men and women of NBC News to continue their task with energy and dedication- right through 1969. But that's the only prediction we'll venture.

  • Sobre El Etrusco 8Afna Y El Vasco Aska
    Sobre el etrusco 8afna y el vasco aska A FIorencio Oroz, *1897, en la más larga y tiiste despedida. Beriain, 9-V- 1977. 1. La palabra Bafna está bien documentada en etrusco, donde aparece más de media docena de veces, si contamos las variantes Buhvna, Bizpna, tafina: TLE 64, 341, 375, 488, 646, 30 (cf. St. Etr. 36, p. 254, ibidem p. 433;St. Etr. 40, p. 406; De Simone, Griech. Entlehnungen 11, p. 178); a éstas se suman Bizpnai, Bupneiti (De Simone, loc. cit.). En el número 40 de St. Etr., p. 433 leemos que Bufna / Bapna <<eii piu commune tra i nomi etruschi di vaso e designa il vaso per libazione, patera, ciotola o simili, per traslado la lucerna». 1.1. Esta cita nos informa sobre la opinión más corriente, pero no indiscutida, respecto al significado de bapna. De Simone 11, p. 100 registra esa voz entre los nombres etruscos de vasija que terminan en -(n)a. Pfiffig, Sprache, p. 306-307 indica igualmente el significado de 'Schale', con el dimi- nutivo Bupnza 'kleine Schale'. Coincide con éstas la opinión de Vetter, Etr. Wortdeutungen, p. 44, donde encontramos interpretada la inscripción mula santic 1 Bupna como 'da(t) merum pateram'. 1.2. En algún ejemplo parece que no se adapte tan bien ese sentido, por lo que ha sido propuesto el significado más amplio de 'don', 'ofrenda'. Una cómoda solución, que encontramos en Trombetti, Lingua etrusca es la de distinguir b~p-nade baf-na, admitiendo para la primera el valor de 'vivande, convito religioso', que estaría en relación con el latín daps, dapes, el griego Gaxa-q 'spesa', el antiguo isl.
