BANCA EXAMINADORA ________________________________________________________________ Prof.ª Dr.ª Ana Maria Mauad – UFF Orientadora ________________________________________________________________ Prof.ª Dr.ª Samantha Viz Quadrat – UFF ________________________________________________________________ Prof. Dr. Rodrigo de Almeida Ferreira – UFF ________________________________________________________________ Prof. Dr. Alexandre Busko Valim – UFSC NITERÓI, RJ 2018 Aos meus pais Tânia e Robson Abrantes, por todo amor, apoio e compreensão que me deram ao longo de toda a minha vida, e ao meu amor e em breve futura esposa, Juliana Pessôa de Rezende, não apenas por seu amor e carinho, mas também por sua inabalável fé no meu trabalho e apoio incondicional para a conclusão do mesmo. Amo vocês, sempre! AGRADECIMENTOS Esta dissertação é fruto de toda a minha jornada na Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF), não apenas durante o curto período de tempo que constitui o mestrado no programa de pós-graduação, mas também durante toda a minha graduação em História na UFF. Por essa razão, muitas pessoas contribuíram, direta ou indiretamente, para a sua elaboração, pessoas a quem serei eternamente grato. Em primeiro lugar, gostaria de agradecer a minha orientadora Ana Maria Mauad. Sua orientação vem sendo imprescindível para a realização da minha jornada acadêmica desde a graduação, quando nossa parceria na elaboração da minha monografia resultou inclusive na publicação de um livro. Agora não seria diferente. Este trabalho jamais teria sido realizado sem a magnífica orientação da professora Mauad, que não apenas sempre entendeu meus interesses e minhas aspirações para esta dissertação, mas também sempre me deu ampla liberdade de reflexão, me aconselhando e me guiando de forma coerente, dando forma as minhas ideias, assim como sugerindo outras que foram essenciais para este trabalho. Suas orientações foram absolutamente fundamentais, e a delimitação do objeto desta pesquisa jamais teria sido possível sem elas. Além de tudo isso, acho que nunca saberei como te recompensar, Ana, por toda sua paciência e compreensão comigo. Acho que nenhum outro orientador teria entendido tão bem o quão foi difícil a elaboração desta dissertação diante da minha realidade de trabalho no magistério nesses últimos dois anos. Ninguém teria tido a paciência que você teve sempre que eu demorava para te enviar um texto, quando eu acabava ultrapassando um prazo, ou quando te escrevia um texto de madrugada (e até aos domingos) com dezenas de dúvidas, momentos nos quais você foi, como sempre, extremamente solicita. Obrigado por tudo, de coração, especialmente por acreditar em mim e neste trabalho. Tenho muito a agradecer também à professora Hebe Mattos, que não só me concedeu uma bolsa de iniciação científica, ainda durante a graduação, no Laboratório de História Oral e Imagem (LABHOI – UFF), sempre acreditando no meu trabalho, mas que também sempre me ensinou muito ao longo de todos os anos de trabalho e de convivência no LABHOI. Mesmo após o término da graduação, a minha permanência no LABHOI foi garantida graças a outra bolsa, de Apoio Técnico, oferecida tanto pela professora Hebe quanto pela professora Ana Mauad. A entrada e o trabalho contínuo no LABHOI foram fundamentais não apenas para o meu amadurecimento pessoal e profissional, mas também para o amadurecimento da própria proposta deste trabalho, e isso tudo só foi possível graças às professoras Hebe e Ana, as quais serei eternamente grato, e também a Fundação Carlos Chagas Filho de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (FAPERJ), agência que viabilizou essas bolsas, sem as quais eu talvez nem teria conseguido sequer concluir a graduação. Gostaria de agradecer também, de um modo geral, a todos os professores da UFF de quem tive a honra de ser aluno e que contribuíram para a minha formação, ensinando-me o ofício de historiador. Agradeço especialmente aos professores que contribuíram de alguma forma para a consecução deste trabalho. Entre eles, está a professora Denise Rollemberg, cujas aulas não apenas ampliaram meus conhecimentos, assim como minha paixão, sobre os conteúdos da História Contemporânea, mas também me fizeram compreender melhor e despertaram o meu interesse pela temática dos fenômenos sociais de memória e de opinião pública; e também a professora Cecília Azevedo, cujas aulas me ensinaram e despertaram o meu interesse sobre a História dos Estados Unidos. Não posso deixar de mencionar os professores que me deram aula durante o mestrado, os quais foram de grande contribuição para esta dissertação, especialmente as professoras Renata Torres Schittino – com suas aulas de metodologia e teoria da História – e Juniele Rabêlo de Almeida, cujas aulas me ensinaram muito sobre a História Pública e suas possibilidades. Além disso, preciso agradecer também aos professores que aceitaram ler esta dissertação e participar de minha banca. Refiro-me especialmente aos professores Alexandre Busko Valim e Rodrigo de Almeida Ferreira, que já no exame de qualificação desta dissertação fizeram uma leitura atenta e precisa do meu trabalho, fazendo importantes contribuições, sugestões e críticas visando o aperfeiçoamento tanto desta dissertação quanto do seu autor. Se hoje este texto final está pronto para a defesa, isso foi também graças a grande colaboração que eu tive dos comentários que vocês fizeram durante a qualificação, assim como de novos materiais, textos e conceitos que vocês me sugeriram utilizar. Não posso deixar de agradecer também à professora Samantha Viz Quadrat, que aceitou não apenas ler o meu trabalho, mas também presidir a minha banca. Também merecem a minha sincera gratidão todos os meus amigos que me acompanharam ao longo da minha jornada acadêmica desde a graduação até aqui, em especial Angelina Pina e Luciano Gomes, que não apenas sempre se preocuparam comigo, mas que também sempre estavam dispostos a me ajudar a enfrentar as turbulências da vida e do meio acadêmico. Tenho a clareza de que se eu entrei no mestrado, foi graças aquela madrugada, a mais de dois anos atrás, em que viramos a noite estudando juntos a bibliografia da prova de seleção. São esses os verdadeiros exemplos de amizade que uma pessoa poderia ter. Agradeço também imensamente a Deus, pois sem Ele nada disso teria sido possível, e a toda a minha família por todo amor, apoio, compreensão e incentivo, especialmente aos meus padrinhos Maria da Lage Duarte e Marcelino Domingos Duarte. Contudo, não sei se algum dia eu poderei agradecer o suficiente àqueles que sempre me amaram, incentivaram e me apoiaram incondicionalmente ao longo de toda a minha vida, além de terem tido paciência e compreensão nos meus momentos mais difíceis: meus pais, Tânia Fagundes Abrantes e Robson Augusto Abrantes. Sem vocês, nada disso teria sido possível. Amo muito vocês! Finalmente, não posso terminar esses agradecimentos sem antes agradecer a pessoa que mais me apoiou, incentivou e que esteve ao meu lado ao longo de todo esse processo: minha noiva e futura esposa Juliana Pessôa de Rezende. Não basta lhe agradecer por todo seu amor, amizade, companheirismo e imensuráveis paciência e compreensão. Ju, você fez muito mais do que isso. Você esteve sempre ao meu lado, não apenas nos momentos de alegria, mas também nos de frustação. Você me motivou e me estimulou. Evitou que eu muitas vezes perdesse o foco, com meus escapismos e minhas fugas de responsabilidades. E mesmo quando eu achava que ia desistir, você me carregou nas costas e me impediu de cometer esse erro que com certeza eu não tardaria a me arrepender. Mesmo quando eu achava que você já tinha feito muito por mim, você me surpreendia fazendo mais: sentou comigo para reler meu trabalho, ajudando-me em sua revisão e na seleção das imagens utilizadas. Até mesmo quando você não estava fazendo aparentemente nada, apenas deitada ao meu lado enquanto eu lia, estudava ou escrevia, você já estava fazendo alguma coisa, pois eu sabia que você podia estar em outro lugar, fazendo outra coisa, mas ao invés disso você escolhia estar ali ao meu lado para qualquer coisa que eu precisasse, dando-me força e motivação para a finalização desta dissertação. Acho que nunca poderei agradecer e retribuir tudo o que você fez por mim, meu amor,

KING TomatoBubble.com © 2018 Joe McCarthy and Roy Cohn "How can we account for our present situation unless we believe that men high in this Government are concerting to deliver us to disaster? This must be the product of a great conspiracy, a conspiracy on a scale so immense as to dwarf any previous such venture in the history of man - A conspiracy of infamy so black that, when it is finally exposed, its principals shall be forever deserving of the maledictions of all honest men." - Senator Joseph McCarthy 2 About the Author M. S. King of TomatoBubble.com is a private investigative journalist and researcher based in the New York City area. A 1987 graduate of Rutgers University, King's subsequent 30 year career in Marketing & Advertising has equipped him with a unique perspective when it comes to understanding how "public opinion" is indeed scientifically manufactured. Madison Ave marketing acumen combines with 'City Boy' instincts to make M.S. King one of the most tenacious detectors of "things that don’t add up" in the world today. Says King of his admitted quirks, irreverent disdain for "conventional wisdom", and uncanny ability to ferret out and weave together important data points that others miss: "Had Sherlock Holmes been an actual historical personage, I would have been his reincarnation." Among other works, King is also the author of: • The Bad War: The Truth Never Taught About World War 2 • Planet Rothschild (2 Volumes): Forbidden History of the New World Order • The War Against Putin: What the Government-Media Complex Isn’t Telling You About Russia.

  • “Edward R. Murrow and the Positive Power of Journalism”
    “Edward R. Murrow and the Positive Power of Journalism” Abby Fennewald Leonard Steinhorn, SOC University Honors Spring 2013 Abstract: Can a journalist change society? In the case of Edward R. Murrow, the answer is yes, and this paper explores Murrow’s broadcasting career as a case study of the positive social impact that journalism can have. The paper will frame its examination with a discussion of how media influence the public at large and how the media's impact changed with the advent of broadcast journalism. Murrow drew national attention to previously underreported issues and parts of our society, and he pioneered broadcast journalism techniques and visual storytelling while doing so. Murrow drew large audiences because of his personal skill as a broadcaster as well as his willingness to challenge the status quo and speak truth to power. Today, the legacy of his work lives on as he, like other journalists whose stories influenced society, has been immortalized by Hollywood. Today, in a time when the role and style of journalism is constantly changing, and when resources for investigative journalism shrink, it is important to study and highlight practitioners who show that good reporting and afflicting the comfortable represent the best in American journalism. “He was the conscience of all of us.” — Daniel Schorr Edward R. Murrow has a unique place in the pantheon of television broadcasters. Not only was he one of the earliest — making a transition from radio to television early in the new medium’s history — he was one of the best. His level of dedication to his craft was unparalleled, and continues to be the gold standard.

    INFORM ATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.
