  • 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.

    REPORT OF THE WORKING GROUP ON SLAVERY, MEMORY, AND RECONCILIATION TO THE PRESIDENT OF GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY Washington, D.C. June 3, 2016 REPORT OF THE WORKING GROUP ON SLAVERY, MEMORY, AND RECONCILIATION TO THE PRESIDENT OF GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY Washington, D.C. June 3, 2016 Dr. John J. DeGioia, the president of Georgetown University, assembled the Working Group on Slavery, Memory, and Reconciliation in September 2015. His charging letter outlined three tasks for the Working Group over the course of the academic year: Make recommendations on how best to acknowledge and recognize the university’s historical relationship to the institution of slavery. Examine and interpret the history of certain sites on the campus. Convene events and opportunities for dialogue on these issues. This report offers an overview of the Working Group’s activities, reflections on its mandate and work over the last academic year, and recommendations to the President on how the university community should continue its engagement with this history and its legacy. Although submission of this report concludes the Working Group’s responsibilities, the Working Group understands the report as offering direction and encouragement for the continuing efforts of the university. The report is organized in four sections. The first section sketches the Working Group’s activities over the seven months between its charging meeting on September 24, 2016, and the transmission of this report to the President. The second section offers the Working Group’s reflections on its seven months of consultation and deliberation, organized around the three concepts in the Working Group’s name: slavery, memory, and reconciliation.

Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Notice of Ex Parte Communication, GN Docket No. 12-268, MB Docket No. 16-306. Dear Ms. Dortch: In an effort to help its radio members better understand and prepare for the impacts of the post-auction transition of repacked television stations, NAB commissioned a study to determine which FM stations are likely to need to coordinate with TV stations making adjustments following the Incentive Auction. This analysis identifies 678 FM stations that may need to reduce power, shut down, or operate from an auxiliary facility as work is being done on a neighboring TV station antenna to ensure tower worker safety from radio frequency exposure. A copy of this analysis is attached. We look forward to working with the Commission to ensure the smoothest possible transition for broadcast viewers and listeners.
