Webb will sit down with Chuck Todd, NBC News Political Director, Chief White House Correspondent, and host of MSNBC’s The Daily Rundown. The book is a detailed and personal account of Webb’s formative early years through his service in Vietnam to his election to the U.S. Senate. This program will take place on Tuesday, May 27, 2014 at 6:30 p.m. Admission starts at $20 and includes a copy of I Heard My Country Calling. Reservations are recommended and can be made by calling 215-409-6700 or visiting constitutioncenter.org. A book signing with Webb will follow the discussion. A self-described “military brat,” James Webb’s entire life and family legacy has involved the military. The son of a U.S. Air Force officer and World War II bomber pilot, Webb attended the U.S. Naval Academy, and, upon a graduation, was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps. He is the recipient of the Navy Cross, the second highest decoration in the Navy and Marine Corps for heroism in Vietnam. Webb also earned the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, and two Purple Hearts. Webb’s son followed tradition and enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps, serving in combat in Iraq. The author of nine other notable books, Webb says I Heard My Country Calling was “the hardest book I’ve ever written,” stating that he wanted to write “in order to pay respect to the people who made a lot of sacrifices for me.” -MORE- ADD ONE/JAMES WEBB Chuck Todd is NBC News’ Chief White House Correspondent, as well as the host of The Daily Rundown on MSNBC. He became NBC News' Political Director in March 2007. He also serves as NBC News’ on-air political analyst for NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams, Today, Meet the Press, and for MSNBC. In 2009, Todd co-authored with Sheldon Gawiser the definitive election result analysis book for the 2008 presidential campaign, titled, How Barack Obama Won. Before joining NBC News, Todd was the Editor-in-Chief of National Journal’s “The Hotline,” Washington’s premier daily briefing on American Politics. In January of 2012, GQ named Todd “The Most Powerful Journalist in Washington,” part of the magazine’s “50 Most Powerful People in Washington” list.

  • Analysis of Talk Shows Between Obama and Trump Administrations by Jack Norcross — 69
    Analysis of Talk Shows Between Obama and Trump Administrations by Jack Norcross — 69 An Analysis of the Political Affiliations and Professions of Sunday Talk Show Guests Between the Obama and Trump Administrations Jack Norcross Journalism Elon University Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements in an undergraduate senior capstone course in communications Abstract The Sunday morning talk shows have long been a platform for high-quality journalism and analysis of the week’s top political headlines. This research will compare guests between the first two years of Barack Obama’s presidency and the first two years of Donald Trump’s presidency. A quantitative content analysis of television transcripts was used to identify changes in both the political affiliations and profession of the guests who appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” CBS’s “Face the Nation,” ABC’s “This Week” and “Fox News Sunday” between the two administrations. Findings indicated that the dominant political viewpoint of guests differed by show during the Obama administration, while all shows hosted more Republicans than Democrats during the Trump administration. Furthermore, U.S. Senators and TV/Radio journalists were cumulatively the most frequent guests on the programs. I. Introduction Sunday morning political talk shows have been around since 1947, when NBC’s “Meet the Press” brought on politicians and newsmakers to be questioned by members of the press. The show’s format would evolve over the next 70 years, and give rise to fellow Sunday morning competitors including ABC’s “This Week,” CBS’s “Face the Nation” and “Fox News Sunday.” Since the mid-twentieth century, the overall media landscape significantly changed with the rise of cable news, social media and the consumption of online content.
