The finished release should reach the newspaper about three weeks ahead of schedule. Today, email is an acceptable, and often preferable, way to send a press release; however, we suggest that you contact the media source to confirm. If you include a photograph, call to check acceptable sizes. Also, check if your source accepts black and white or color, and, if the photos can be sent via email. Remember to caption your photograph. Keep mailing lists free of errors and update changes of addresses, news editors, reporters, and departments. The press release should be followed up by a phone call one week before the event. It is important to maintain amiable and frequent contacts with the press. Ask the press to bring along a photographer to your event, but be sure to arrange for someone from your organization to take photographs, as well. RADIO AND TELEVISION Send only important press releases to local radio and cable television stations. If these stations are inundated with too many press releases, they may ignore your important events. If possible, follow up on all contacts. For major events, try News 12 New Jersey, or local cable and radio stations. If a story has real human interest, attempts can be made to contact Channels 2, 4, 5, 7, 9 and 11, but an interesting aspect must be well thought out. Sometimes, it is better to give an exclusive human interest story to one reporter, and let him or her know that the story is an exclusive. ______________________________________ 5 Metropolitan New Jersey Media Guide 2016 SAMPLE PRESS RELEASE SAMPLE PRESS RELEASE FOR PRINT MEDIA For Immediate Release Contact: Maria Mazziotti Gillan, 973-684-6555 Date: April 14, 2016 BILLY COLLINS, WINNER OF PATERSON POETRY PRIZE, TO READ IN PATERSON The Distinguished Poets Series of the Poetry Center at Passaic County Community College is presenting a poetry reading by the winner and finalists of the Paterson Poetry Prize on Saturday, May 9, 2015 at 1 p.m. at the historic Hamilton Club Building, 32 Church Street, in downtown Paterson.

    n a t i o n a l IMMIGRATION p r o j e c t of the National Lawyers Guild ABC v. Thornburgh: 20 Years Later 14 Beacon Street Suite 602 by Trina Realmuto Boston, MA 02108 Phone 617 227 9727 January 31, 2011 Fax 617 227 5495 Introduction and Thank You January 31, 2011 marks the 20th Anniversary of the landmark class action settlement agreement in American Baptist Churches v. Thornburgh, 760 F. Supp. 796 (N.D. Cal. 1991) (“ABC”). These days, when holding the government accountable for violations of the rights of noncitizens and naturalized citizens is as challenging as ever, the National Immigration Project remembers the Guatemalan and Salvadoran asylum seekers who courageously persisted in challenging the legality of the government’s pattern and practice of basing asylum determinations on foreign policy instead of the merits of individual claims. We take this opportunity to thank the members of the ABC Legal Team for their endless hours toiling over the litigation and negotiating an amazing settlement agreement. The individuals listed below were members of the legal team for the following organizations: American Civil Liberties Union, Center for Constitutional Rights, Central American Refugee Center, Morrison & Foerster, and the National Lawyers Guild. Thank you…. Marc Van Der Hout Lori A. Schechter Dan Kesselbrenner James J. Garrett Debbie Smith Michael L. Zigler Patty Blum Darryl L. Hamm Lucas Guttentag Ellen Yaroshefsky Morton Stavis Linton Joaquin Frank Deale And thank you to each and every person who may be missing from this list but who contributed to the success of the law suit.

The Enforcement Bureau (Bureau) of the Federal Communications Commission has entered into a Consent Decree to resolve its investigation into whether Univision Local Media, Inc. (Univision), or its station WXNY-FM (licensed to WADO-AM License Corp., a subsidiary of Univision), aired Emergency Alert System (EAS) tones during the January 28, 2014 episode of the Luis Jimenez Show, in the absence of an actual emergency or authorized test of the EAS. 2. The EAS is the national public warning system that requires broadcasters, cable television operators, wireline video service providers, satellite digital audio radio service providers, and direct broadcast satellite providers to supply the communications capability to the President of the United States to address the American public during a national emergency. Federal, state, and local authorities may also use the EAS to deliver emergency information, such as AMBER alerts and weather information targeted to specific areas. To preserve the unique purpose of the EAS tones, the Commission enforces laws prohibiting the use of the tones, or simulations of them, except in actual emergencies or authorized tests of the EAS. These distinctive tones are well-known warning signals to the public, and the laws governing use of the EAS tones apply irrespective of the language used by the entity that transmits the tones.

Most analyses of public radio listening examine the performance of individual stations within this large mix, the contributions of specific national programs, or aggregate numbers for the system as a whole. This report takes a different approach. Through an extensive, multi-year study of 228 stations that generate about 80% of public radio’s audience, we review patterns of listening to groups of stations categorized by the formats that they present. We find that stations that pursue different format strategies – news, classical, jazz, AAA, and the principal combinations of these – have experienced significantly different patterns of audience growth in recent years and important differences in key audience behaviors such as loyalty and time spent listening. This quantitative study complements qualitative research that the Station Resource Group, in partnership with Public Radio Program Directors, and others have pursued on the values and benefits listeners perceive in different formats and format combinations. Key findings of The Public Radio Format Study include: • In a time of relentless news cycles and a near abandonment of news by many commercial stations, public radio’s news and information stations have seen a 55% increase in their average audience from Spring 1999 to Fall 2004.

  • Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage
    Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Aaron Joseph Johnson All rights reserved ABSTRACT Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson This dissertation is a study of jazz on American radio. The dissertation's meta-subjects are mediation, classification, and patronage in the presentation of music via distribution channels capable of reaching widespread audiences. The dissertation also addresses questions of race in the representation of jazz on radio. A central claim of the dissertation is that a given direction in jazz radio programming reflects the ideological, aesthetic, and political imperatives of a given broadcasting entity. I further argue that this ideological deployment of jazz can appear as conservative or progressive programming philosophies, and that these tendencies reflect discursive struggles over the identity of jazz. The first chapter, "Jazz on Noncommercial Radio," describes in some detail the current (circa 2013) taxonomy of American jazz radio. The remaining chapters are case studies of different aspects of jazz radio in the United States. Chapter 2, "Jazz is on the Left End of the Dial," presents considerable detail to the way the music is positioned on specific noncommercial stations. Chapter 3, "Duke Ellington and Radio," uses Ellington's multifaceted radio career (1925-1953) as radio bandleader, radio celebrity, and celebrity DJ to examine the medium's shifting relationship with jazz and black American creative ambition.

  • A Long Walk Home: the Role of Class and the Military in the Springsteen Catalogue Michael S
    A Long Walk Home: The Role of Class and the Military in the Springsteen Catalogue Michael S. Neiberg United States Army War College and Robert M. Citino National World War II Museum1 Abstract This article analyzes the themes of class and military service in the Springsteen canon. As a member of the baby boom generation who narrowly missed service in Vietnam, Springsteen’s reflection on these heretofore unappreciated themes should not be surprising. Springsteen’s emergence as a musician and American icon coincide with the end of conscription and the introduction of the All-Volunteer Force in 1973. He became an international superstar as Americans were debating the meaning of the post-Vietnam era and the patriotic resurgence of the Reagan era. Because of this context, Springsteen himself became involved in veterans issues and was a voice of protest against the 2003 Iraq War. In a well-known monologue from his Live 1975-85 box set (1986), Bruce Springsteen recalls arguing with his father Douglas about the younger Springsteen’s plans for his future. Whenever Bruce provided inadequate explanations for his life goals, Douglas responded that he could not wait for the Army to “make a man” out of his long-haired, seemingly aimless son. Springsteen 1 Copyright © Michael S. Neiberg and Robert M. Citino, 2016. Michael Neiberg would like to thank Derek Varble, with whom he saw Springsteen in concert in Denver in 2005, for his helpful comments on a draft of this article. Address correspondence to [email protected] or [email protected]. BOSS: The Biannual Online-Journal of Springsteen Studies 2.1 (2016) http://boss.mcgill.ca/ 42 NEIBERG AND CITINO describes his fear as he departed for an Army induction physical in 1968, at the height of domestic discord over the Vietnam War.
