Researchers in both the Johnson Center for Philanthropy's Community Research Institute and Grand Valley's Seidman College of Business worked on the report, along with the Michigan Foreclosure Task Force. The report revealed that housing values in the state fell by $63 billion between 2006 and 2010, and showed that in rural areas, the average monthly foreclosure rate tripled between 2005 and 2010.

  • Does Performance Improve Following Multisource Feedback? a Theoretical Model, Meta-Analysis, and Review of Empirical Findings
    PERSONNEL PSYCHOLOGY 2005, 58, 33–66 DOES PERFORMANCE IMPROVE FOLLOWING MULTISOURCE FEEDBACK? A THEORETICAL MODEL, META-ANALYSIS, AND REVIEW OF EMPIRICAL FINDINGS JAMES W. SMITHER La Salle University MANUEL LONDON State University of New York at Stony Brook RICHARD R. REILLY Stevens Institute of Technology We review evidence showing that multisource feedback ratings are re- lated to other measures of leadership effectiveness and that different rater sources conceptualize performance in a similar manner. We then describe a meta-analysis of 24 longitudinal studies showing that improvement in direct report, peer, and supervisor ratings over time is generally small. We present a theoretical framework and review empirical evidence suggest- ing performance improvement should be more likely for some feedback recipients than others. Specifically, improvement is most likely to occur when feedback indicates that change is necessary, recipients have a posi- tive feedback orientation, perceive a need to change their behavior, react positively to the feedback, believe change is feasible, set appropriate goals to regulate their behavior, and take actions that lead to skill and performance improvement. It has been nearly 10 years since London and Smither (1995) evalu- ated the state of multisource feedback practice and offered theory-based propositions for understanding how people process and use the feedback. This article assesses progress in the field, especially focusing on the ex- tent to which feedback recipients improve their performance after receiv- ing multisource feedback. We argue that practitioners should not expect large, widespread performance improvement after employees receive mul- tisource feedback. Instead, we present a theoretical model that suggests some feedback recipients should be more likely to improve than others.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF JOURNALISM FROM STEWART TO SATIRE: ALTERNATIVE JOURNALISM IN LATE NIGHT TV MICHAEL APPLEMAN SPRING 2015 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Journalism and honors in Journalism Reviewed and approved* by the following: Curt Chandler Senior Lecturer, Journalism Thesis Advisor Robert D. Richards John and Ann Curley Professor of First Amendment Studies Honors Advisor * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT The blurring of lines between entertainment and news is a growing phenomenon in broadcast television. This blurriness is often to as infotainment that includes the “fake news” genre. Scholars have increasingly turned their attention to understanding and evaluating the impact of fake news by looking to The Daily Show with host Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert’s The Colbert Report. In America’s changing media environment defined by corporate interests, discursive integration, and technological advancements it’s becoming increasingly difficult to define what “real news” is. This paper argues that Stewart and Colbert use their satire to perform an alternative form of journalism that educates and informs while re-envisioning the journalism landscape. It also challenges Stewart and Colbert’s rejection to being associated with journalism because their use of fact-based satire creates a quasi-journalistic product. It looks at research conducted by scholars and interviews with other journalists to reinforce the importance of what Stewart and Colbert do for journalism. They might not be considered traditional journalists because they don’t always follow core journalism principles, but they function as media critics and help make journalists better.
