Sometimes, we just feel the need to pay homage to the passage of time and years. We’ve celebrated some big milestones recently in the J-School. Last year, we commemorated the 150th 18 birthyear of William Allen White. This Lawrence year is the 75th anniversary of the 6 Block-by-Block naming of the school after White. We’ll remember 2018 and 2019 Professor Retirements Project as pivotal years in the history of the school. We paused to celebrate the careers of several professors who were committed to building the reputation of this institution and helping students find a path to success.

But one thing remained constant: Susanne Shaw. Former students returning to the school were always comforted to see Shaw sitting at her desk in her first-floor office, advising a student or on the phone, probably working on an internship or job for a current student or checking up on a former student. Shaw’s office is unrecognizable now, the walls torn down for the Stauffer-Flint reno- vation. Shaw retired last spring, but her leg- acy will always loom large inside the J-School, and it extends far around the world with the army of students Shaw taught, mentored and dispatched to make their mark in the field of journalism. Shaw officially retired from the school af- ter the 2018 spring semester but remained on as director of the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communi- cations, a title she had held since 1986 until July 1, 2018. Her retirement ended a nearly 50-year career, most of it at the J-School. Shaw was born into a newspaper family. Her father was an editor at the Welling- ton (Kansas) Daily News, and while in high school Shaw worked summers at the news- paper.

Located at Waverly and MacDougal Streets, just off the Northwest corner of Washington Square Park, it is the sole survivor from the city’s golden age of hôtellerie in the lower 5th Avenue vicinity. The 100% smoke-free property features 152 guest rooms, an intimate lobby, 24-hour front desk service, fitness room, lobby bar and complimentary continental breakfast at the highly acclaimed North Square Restaurant & Lounge. Free Wi-Fi™ is available throughout the hotel. A Haven for Writers, Artists and Visitors for More than a Century The Washington Square hotel was built in 1902 as a residential hotel named the Hotel Earle after its first owner, Earl S. L’Amoureux. The hotel occupied a single, eight-story, red brick building on Waverly Place, in the heart of affluent Greenwich Village, now an historic landmark district. In 1903, L’Amoureux sold the hotel to Frederick D. Fricke. Fricke, in 1908, built an identical, connecting building to create a grand apartment hotel, complete with reading rooms, restaurant, and banquet facilities. Four years later he added a ninth floor and, in 1917 he built an adjoining three story building, bringing the hotel to MacDougal Street, at the northwest corner of picturesque Washington Square.

    Mount Rushmore: The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy Brian Asher Rosenwald Wynnewood, PA Master of Arts, University of Virginia, 2009 Bachelor of Arts, University of Pennsylvania, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia August, 2015 !1 © Copyright 2015 by Brian Asher Rosenwald All Rights Reserved August 2015 !2 Acknowledgements I am deeply indebted to the many people without whom this project would not have been possible. First, a huge thank you to the more than two hundred and twenty five people from the radio and political worlds who graciously took time from their busy schedules to answer my questions. Some of them put up with repeated follow ups and nagging emails as I tried to develop an understanding of the business and its political implications. They allowed me to keep most things on the record, and provided me with an understanding that simply would not have been possible without their participation. When I began this project, I never imagined that I would interview anywhere near this many people, but now, almost five years later, I cannot imagine the project without the information gleaned from these invaluable interviews. I have been fortunate enough to receive fellowships from the Fox Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania and the Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia, which made it far easier to complete this dissertation. I am grateful to be a part of the Fox family, both because of the great work that the program does, but also because of the terrific people who work at Fox.
