  • The National Media Lost Interest Almost Immediately, Horse Race
    Hiding in Plain Sight, From Kennedy to Brown: Press Coverage of the 2010 Massachusetts Senate Special Election The national media lost interest almost immediately, and then horse-race coverage dominated what was considered a fairly dull and utterly local contest. And when it became clear something was up, it was polling—not journalistic reporting—that caught the wave in the race to succeed Massachusetts Senator Edward M. Kennedy. In the end, a campaign that first seemed to lack drama and star power was the most important and intensely covered political story in the country. And while they were certainly not alone, the press never saw it coming. These are some of the findings in a new study produced by Boston University and the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism about how newspapers covered the Massachusetts special election to fill the seat created by Kennedy’s death. The study covered two time periods. The first was the Democratic and Republican primary races from September 1-December 8, 2009. The second was the final two weeks of the general election campaign from January 6-19, 2010, when the media began to sense there was an actual contest for the seat. That second period began one day after a Rasmussen Report’s poll that showed the overwhelming Republican underdog, Scott Brown, climbing to within single digits (nine points) of Martha Coakley. That poll, perhaps more than anything else, signaled that a possible upset was brewing and galvanized both the media and political worlds. Brown’s January 19 victory was seen as such a stunning national bellwether that it was the second-biggest story in the national media the week of January 18-24.

  • 2020 CPB Report
    Local Content and Service 2020 GBH exists to engage, illuminate and inspire. Our vision is to be a pioneering leader in media that strengthens, includes and serves our diverse community, fostering growth and empowering individuals. INTRODUCTION 2020 In Service to the Community in a Year Like No Other 2020 was a year unlike any other, requiring all of us to recalibrate. The COVID-19 lockdown prompted a rapid pivot across all of GBH’s programs, events and services in order to continue to provide engaging and inspiring resources for our community. GBH worked to engage in new ways during this challenging time by: • Creating a new daily call-in radio program that focused on the impact of COVID-19 in our neighborhoods and fielded questions from listeners across the state • Airing and streaming musical performances when concert halls were closed • Providing broadcast and online resources for remote learning across the Commonwealth • Producing a virtual graduation ceremony for our high school seniors • Partnering with local community organizations and institutions to create dozens of new virtual events and forums including our first community book club and our monthly multiplatform community dialogue on The State of Race The State of Race panel © GBH Throughout the year we partnered with local organizations and community groups including the NAACP, Handel and Haydn Society, Boston Public Library, the Museum of Fine Arts, the cross-cultural professional organization Get Konnected, the Martin Luther King, Jr., legacy nonprofit King Boston, the Huntington Theatre Company and more to help amplify and support their efforts. Our nation’s reckoning with racism prompted us to deeply reflect and commit to making meaningful changes in how we operate and to offer new programming.

    For Immediate Release Contact: Emmy Llewellyn September 17, 2013 508-475-0032 Brain Injury Association of Massachusetts Celebrates 30 Years of Helping Individuals with Brain Injury and their Families National Association Started by Massachusetts Families More than 30 years ago a small group of family members met around a kitchen table in Framingham, Mass. to talk about how to meet the needs of their loved ones who had sustained brain injuries. Dramatic advances in trauma care and life support had significantly increased the number of individuals surviving severe head injury; however, at that time, the community was ill-prepared to serve this population. From these humble beginnings emerged the National Head Injury Foundation which later became the Brain Injury Association of America with chapters in more than 40 states. The Brain Injury Association of Massachusetts (BIA-MA) was incorporated in 1982 as one of the first statewide brain injury associations in the U.S. and remains the only organization of its kind in Massachusetts serving survivors and families across the Commonwealth. “The Association came out of parents’ needs to secure services for their children suffering from brain injuries. It came from the need to find help where there was none at the time. Necessity is indeed the mother of invention,” says BIA-MA Executive Director Nicole Godaire. “BIA-MA has grown tremendously over the past thirty years, along with the need for brain injury services and support—now more than ever with brain injury anticipated to become a global epidemic. Following thirty years of extensive advocacy for survivors of brain injury around the Commonwealth, we are poised for another 30 years.” Today the Association serves more than 60,000 children, teenagers, and adults in the Commonwealth, and offers 34 support groups statewide for survivors, caregivers and family members.
