  • Analysis of Talk Shows Between Obama and Trump Administrations by Jack Norcross — 69
    Analysis of Talk Shows Between Obama and Trump Administrations by Jack Norcross — 69 An Analysis of the Political Affiliations and Professions of Sunday Talk Show Guests Between the Obama and Trump Administrations Jack Norcross Journalism Elon University Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements in an undergraduate senior capstone course in communications Abstract The Sunday morning talk shows have long been a platform for high-quality journalism and analysis of the week’s top political headlines. This research will compare guests between the first two years of Barack Obama’s presidency and the first two years of Donald Trump’s presidency. A quantitative content analysis of television transcripts was used to identify changes in both the political affiliations and profession of the guests who appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” CBS’s “Face the Nation,” ABC’s “This Week” and “Fox News Sunday” between the two administrations. Findings indicated that the dominant political viewpoint of guests differed by show during the Obama administration, while all shows hosted more Republicans than Democrats during the Trump administration. Furthermore, U.S. Senators and TV/Radio journalists were cumulatively the most frequent guests on the programs. I. Introduction Sunday morning political talk shows have been around since 1947, when NBC’s “Meet the Press” brought on politicians and newsmakers to be questioned by members of the press. The show’s format would evolve over the next 70 years, and give rise to fellow Sunday morning competitors including ABC’s “This Week,” CBS’s “Face the Nation” and “Fox News Sunday.” Since the mid-twentieth century, the overall media landscape significantly changed with the rise of cable news, social media and the consumption of online content.

  • Officials Say Flynn Discussed Sanctions
    Officials say Flynn discussed sanctions The Washington Post February 10, 2017 Friday, Met 2 Edition Copyright 2017 The Washington Post All Rights Reserved Distribution: Every Zone Section: A-SECTION; Pg. A08 Length: 1971 words Byline: Greg Miller;Adam Entous;Ellen Nakashima Body Talks with Russia envoy said to have occurred before Trump took office National security adviser Michael Flynn privately discussed U.S. sanctions against Russia with that country's ambassador to the United States during the month before President Trump took office, contrary to public assertions by Trump officials, current and former U.S. officials said. Flynn's communications with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak were interpreted by some senior U.S. officials as an inappropriate and potentially illegal signal to the Kremlin that it could expect a reprieve from sanctions that were being imposed by the Obama administration in late December to punish Russia for its alleged interference in the 2016 election. Flynn on Wednesday denied that he had discussed sanctions with Kislyak. Asked in an interview whether he had ever done so, he twice said, "No." On Thursday, Flynn, through his spokesman, backed away from the denial. The spokesman said Flynn "indicated that while he had no recollection of discussing sanctions, he couldn't be certain that the topic never came up." Officials said this week that the FBI is continuing to examine Flynn's communications with Kislyak. Several officials emphasized that while sanctions were discussed, they did not see evidence that Flynn had an intent to convey an explicit promise to take action after the inauguration. Flynn's contacts with the ambassador attracted attention within the Obama administration because of the timing.

  • Professionalism in War Reporting: a Correspondent's View by Tom Gjelten
    Professionalism in War Reporting: A Correspondent's View By Tom Gjelten Carnegie Corporation of New York established the Carnegie Commission on Preventing Deadly Conflict in May 1994 to address the looming threats to world peace of intergroup violence and to advance new ideas for the prevention and resolution of deadly conflict. The Commission is examining the principal causes of deadly ethnic, nationalist, and religious conflicts within and between states and the circumstances that foster or deter their outbreak. Taking a long-term, worldwide view of violent conflicts that are likely to emerge, the Commission seeks to determine the functional requirements of an effective system for preventing mass violence and to identify the ways in which such a system could be implemented. The Commission is also looking at the strengths and weaknesses of various international entities in conflict prevention and considering ways in which international organizations might contribute toward developing an effective international system of nonviolent problem solving. Commission publications fall into three categories: Reports of the Commission, Reports to the Commission, and Discussion Papers. Reports of the Commission have been endorsed by all Commissioners. Reports to the Commission are published as a service to scholars, practitioners, and the interested public. They have undergone peer review, but the views that they express are those of the author or authors, and Commission publication does not imply that those views are shared by the Commission as

  • Politics Book Discussion Guide
    One Book One Northwestern Book Group Discussion Politics Politics ¡ How do you think someone’s political affiliation (Republican, Democrat, Green, Libertarian, Independent, etc.) may affect his or her analysis of the likelihood of certain world events? When have you seen this happen in real life? ¡ E.g. elections, wars, trade deals, environmental policy, etc. ¡ How can someone manage his or her own biases when making political predictions? Use your ideas and Silver’s. ¡ This election cycle has had a series of anomalies, especially regarding the race for and selection of presidential candidates. ¡ What specific anomalies have you noticed in this election cycle? ¡ How can political analysts factor in the possibility of anomalies in their predictions, given that there is no model to look back on that incorporates these anomalies? Politics ¡ In May 2016, Nate Silver published a blog post called “How I Acted Like A Pundit And Screwed Up On Donald Trump.” In the post, he lists reasons for why he incorrectly predicted that Trump would not win the Republican nomination for President, including that he ignored polls in favor of “educated guesses.” Harry Enten, a senior analyst at Nate Silver’s website FiveThirtyEight, describes more of this problem in an interview with This American Life. ¡ Why do you think Silver and his team ignored polls in this case, when they have relied on them heavily in the past? ¡ How do you think Silver’s predictions would have turned out differently if he had taken polls into consideration? ¡ Do you think Silver’s personal biases regarding the presidential candidate influenced his decisions when making his predictions? Why or why not? Politics: Case Study ¡ The Context: In July 2016, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was criticized for making public statements about the unfitness of presidential candidate Donald Trump.

  • Director's Report
    DIRECTOR’S REPORT February 18, 2010 Monthly Statistics Circulation for the month of January was 546,239. This is an increase of 2% from last year’s January circulation of 536,332. These are again impressive numbers considering the fact that we were open to the public on four Sundays in January last year. The majority of the increase in circulation was due to the strong circulation numbers from the Ohio Library for the Blind and Physically Disabled. Attendance for the month of January was 305,164. This is a decrease of 2% from last year’s January attendance of 312,582. A closer look at the attendance discovers that the average daily walk in count at the Main library was up, while the branches saw a decline in visits by patrons. Program and Outreach Highlights The Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative Celebration marked my one year anniversary at CPL and also attracted over 600 people to our annual event. Financially supported by Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., the program was moderated by 25th District State Senator Nina Turner. The Senator led a notable list of participants that included Judge Michael Ryan; Councilman Jeff Johnson; CEO and Founder of the Dream Institute, Rachel D. Wilson; Executive Director of the Metropolitan Cleveland Consortium for STEM, Sonya Pryor Jones; The Word Church Pastor, R.A. Vernon; and Chairman of International Relations for the Young Democrats, Thione Naing. The program featured a new format that debuted CPL’s new concept of being “Cleveland’s living room.” The speakers were arranged in a living room setting and answered questions in a more relaxed and informal setting.

A GIANT WHIFF: WHY THE NEW CBA FAILS BASEBALL'S SMARTEST SMALL MARKET FRANCHISES INTRODUCTION Just before Game 3 of the World Series, viewers saw something en- tirely unexpected. No, it wasn't the sight of the Cardinals and Tigers playing baseball in late October. Instead, it was Commissioner Bud Selig and Donald Fehr, the head of Major League Baseball Players' Association (MLBPA), gleefully announcing a new Collective Bar- gaining Agreement (CBA), thereby guaranteeing labor peace through 2011.1 The deal was struck a full two months before the 2002 CBA had expired, an occurrence once thought as likely as George Bush and Nancy Pelosi campaigning for each other in an election year.2 Baseball insiders attributed the deal to the sport's economic health.
