Gannett Papers Biographical Outline Gannett Company Inc. is a nationwide information company that publishes ninety daily newspapers, including USA 1bday, thirty-nine non-daily newspapers, and USA Weekend. It also operates eight television stations, sixteen radio sta- tions, and owns the largest outdoor advertising firm in North America. The company was created in 1923 by Frank E. Gannett, whose acquisitions and consolidations significantly shaped twentieth century American journalism. Frank Ernest Gannett was born on September 15, 1876 at Gannett Hill, near Bristol, Ontario County,NewYork.According to the familygenealogy,the Gannett family had come from Dorsetshire, England, in 1638 to settle in Hingham, Mas- sachusetts, on the south shore of Massachusetts Bay. Frank Gannett's great- grandfather Joseph served with the Minute Men. Joseph's brother, Benjamin, married Deborah Sampson who, disguised as a boy, served as a soldier in the Continental Army. In 1944, Frank Gannett's daughter Sally dedicated a Liberty Ship named for Deborah Sampson Gannett. After the Revolutionary War, Joseph Gannett moved west to New York State. He bought land in Lafayette, near Syracuse. His son Warren owned a large farm north of Syracuse, as well as 750 acres of timberland on an island in Lake On- tario, offshore from Sackett's Harbor. Warren had three daughters and six sons. During the Civil War, Warren's fourth son, Joseph Charles, served in Company H of the Second New York Cavalry under General Philip Sheridan. After the war, he married Maria Brooks. With their families, Joseph and three of his brothers moved to marginal farm land near Bristol, New York where Frank was born. Many years later, Frank Gannett bought this land and built a weekend home there overlooking Canandaigua Lake. Joseph Gannett moved several times during the next few years. After a short time as a tenant farmer at Blood's Depot (now Atlanta, New York), Joseph Gan- nett became the proprietor of a series of hotels, in Howard, Wallace, Bolivar, and Oneonta, New York. While living at Blood's Depot, Frank began his newspaper career as a newsboy for the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. Frank delivered the Buffalo Times and the Buffalo News when the family moved to Bolivar. He also began to report local news, earning one dollar per story. Frank attended Bolivar Union School and Academy.When the familymoved to Oneon- ta, he remained to finish his studies and graduate. Frank Gannett won a scholarship to attend Cornell University in 1894. Dur- ing his freshman year, Gannett waited on tables, delivered laundry, and ushered

Roosevelt’s Court-packing Plan is among the most famous and frequently discussed episodes in American constitutional history. During his first term as President, Roosevelt had watched with mounting discontent as the Supreme Court declared unconstitutional a series of measures central to his New Deal. Aging justices whom Roosevelt considered reactionary and out of touch had struck down the National Industrial Recovery Act (“NIRA”), the Agricultural Adjustment Act (“AAA”), federal railway pension legislation, federal farm debt relief legislation, critical portions of the Administration’s energy policy, and state minimum wage legislation for women. In the spring of 1937 the Court would be ruling on the constitutionality of such major statutes as the National Labor Relations Act (“NLRA”) and the Social Security Act (“SSA”), and a number of Roosevelt advisors doubted that the Court as then comprised would uphold those measures.

Edy A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by: Jean Folkerts W. Fitzhugh Brundage Jacquelyn Dowd Hall Frank E. Fee, Jr. Barbara Friedman ©2012 Carolyn Martindale Edy ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract CAROLYN M. EDY: Conditions of Acceptance: The United States Military, the Press, and the “Woman War Correspondent,” 1846-1945 (Under the direction of Jean Folkerts) This dissertation chronicles the history of American women who worked as war correspondents through the end of World War II, demonstrating the ways the military, the press, and women themselves constructed categories for war reporting that promoted and prevented women’s access to war: the “war correspondent,” who covered war-related news, and the “woman war correspondent,” who covered the woman’s angle of war. As the first study to examine these concepts, from their emergence in the press through their use in military directives, this dissertation relies upon a variety of sources to consider the roles and influences, not only of the women who worked as war correspondents but of the individuals and institutions surrounding their work. Nineteenth and early 20th century newspapers continually featured the woman war correspondent—often as the first or only of her kind, even as they wrote about more than sixty such women by 1914.

  • 1 Application Part 2 Jim Battle 1 What Makes You the Best Candidate for Greater Manchester? the Deputy Police and Crime Commi
    Application Part 2 Jim Battle 1 What makes you the best candidate for Greater Manchester? The Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner needs to lead, challenge, develop, coordinate, and monitor to a high standard. Throughout my career and most recently as Deputy Leader of Manchester City Council I gained significant, direct experience of leading, challenging, directing, coordinating and monitoring activities. This experience spans local government, working with the police, partner organisations; the business, voluntary, community, faith, trade union and independent sectors. I have responsibility for leading, challenging, innovating and directing change within organisations and communities, developing and initiating strategic ideas and policies, researching and analysing complex information, supporting and motivating teams. I developed effective monitoring and reporting systems to me from chief officers and established processes to challenge and scrutinise all aspects of policy and performance in local government. As the Deputy Leader of Manchester City Council I identified and developed crime and anti social behaviour reduction strategies through the Manchester Crime Reduction Partnership. By considering the changing, social and political context in which the police, council and community operate in Manchester I set the aims and objectives for the Crime Reduction Partnership and the focus upon key policy outcomes, crime reduction targets and community engagement. Examples of this approach are contained in the three Crime Reduction Strategies 2011 – 2014 ( background attachment A), 2008- 2011 ( background attachment B), and 2005 -2008 ( background attachment C part 1 and 2). The three Crime Reduction Strategy Statements and their implementation have been recognised by the Government and the City Council as milestones in the development of neighbourhood policing, improving public confidence and reducing crime and anti social behaviour in Manchester.

    ROCHESTER HISTORY Edited by Joseph W. Barnes, City Historian Vol. XXXVIII AprilandJuly, 1976 Nos. 2 and 3 The Arson Years Fire Protection, Fire lnsuhnce, and Fire Politics 1908-1910 By Joseph W. Barnes The human fascination with fires and fire-fighting endures through the years. If tragic losses of life and property are still a serious concern, despite modern building codes and fire­ fighting methods, only a small leap of imagination is needed to appreciate how frightening fire could be in the years when even the downtown sections of cities were largely wooden; when spark-generating coal was the major fuel for all purposes; and when hundreds of hay-filled barns were tucked behind houses and commercial establishments. As in other American cities, these conditions prevailed in turn-of-the­ century Rochester. A legendary kerosene lamp started the fire which leveled Chicago in 1871. Thirty or forty years later such lamps were still common in barns, and gas lights could still be found in homes. The incandesccn t lamp was replacing gas, but the rapid introduction of electricity created another hazard until principles of safe wiring were learned.

Moreover, indexes to each volume were kept by handwritten notation, in both pencil and ink, seldom in alphabetical order, and with numerous addenda and instances of inserted or corrected text. Researchers should exercise special and unusual latitude in an attempt to gather all the citations for a specific name. There are a number of variant patterns, but the most consistent apply to abbreviated versions of the name of the same person. "Cunningham, ~riggs"may be the same as "Cunningham, B." I,Dann, H. E ." may be the same as "Dann, H. H." (due to blurred or illegible handwriting). "Campbell, E. P." may be the same as "Campbell, President" (or Senator, Governor, Secretary, etc.). In many cases the index has knowingly been recreated literally from the original volume indexes with the mistakes intact to avoid an even more confusing, erroneous and unconfirmable interpretation.

  • The American Newsroom: a Social History, 1920 to 1960
    The American Newsroom: A Social History, 1920 to 1960 Will T. Mari A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2016 Reading Committee Richard Kielbowicz Randy Beam Doug Underwood Program Authorized to Offer Degree Communication © Copyright 2016 Will Mari University of Washington Abstract The American Newsroom: A Social History, 1920 to 1960 Will Mari Chair of the Supervisory Committee Richard Kielbowicz, associate professor, communication Dept. of Communication One of the most important centering places in American journalism remains the newsroom, the heart of the occupation’s vocational community since the middle of the nineteenth century. It is where journalists have engaged with their work practices, been changed by them, and helped to shape them. This dissertation is a thematic social history of the American newsroom. Using memoirs, trade journals, textbooks and archival material, it explores how newsrooms in the United States evolved during a formative moment for American journalism and its workers, from the conclusion of the First World War through the 1950s, the Cold War, and the ascendancy of broadcast journalism, but prior to the computerization of the newsroom. It examines the interior work culture of news workers “within” their newsroom space at large, metropolitan daily newspapers. It investigates how space and ideas of labor transformed the ideology of the newsroom. It argues that news workers were neither passive nor predestinated in how they formed their workplace. Finally, it also examines how technology and unionization affected the newsroom and news workers, and thus charts the evolution of the newsroom in the early-to-middle decades of the twentieth century.
