Amy Renee Leiker Portfolio Writing Amy Renee Leiker Website: http://amyreneeleiker.com Twitter: @amyreneeleiker E-mail: [email protected] Phone: 316-305-2505 Table of Contents About Me Portfolio Journalism Résumé Newspaper Clips: Feature Articles Newspaper Clips: News Articles Writing Contact Information About Me Since January 2011, I’ve dedicated a slice of my life each week to reporting, writing and learning the ropes (translation: how to trick the computer system into working) at The Wichita Eagle in Wichita, Kan., where I’m an intern. In that time, I’ve been inspired by a mom whose 5-year-old boy, by all rights, should have died at birth. I’ve watched another mother weep over the sweet, autistic son she lost in a drowning accident in 2010. I flew in a fully restored WWII B-24 bomber, and I’m terrified of heights. I’ve reported from the scene of a murder-suicide; a stabbing among high school girls (the cops called it an ongoing feud); a rollover accident where a conscious semi driver jackknifed his truck to block traffic -- he saved the lives of two motorcyclists, a state trooper told me, who laid their bike down to avoid being crushed by a car. Once, a thick-knee bird with an unnatural attraction to humans attacked my jeans at the Sedgwick County Zoo. I’ve sunk knee-deep in mud at a dried- up Butler County Lake. I’ve seen dogs tracking humans, a church service at Cheney Lake and a solider meet his 3-month-old son for the first time. -

Intraparty Organization in the U.S. Congress by Ruth Frances Bloch Rubin Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Eric Schickler, Chair The purpose of this dissertation is to supply a simple and synthetic theory to help us to understand the development and value of organized intraparty blocs. I will argue that lawmakers rely on these intraparty organizations to resolve several serious collective action and coordination problems that otherwise make it difficult for rank-and-file party members to successfully challenge their congressional leaders for control of policy outcomes. In the empirical chapters of this dissertation, I will show that intraparty organizations empower dissident lawmakers to resolve their collective action and coordination challenges by providing selective incentives to cooperative members, transforming public good policies into excludable accomplishments, and instituting rules and procedures to promote group decision-making. -
Narrative Analysis and Framing of Governor Brownback's
Narrative analysis and framing of Governor Brownback’s state funding crisis in 2015: a case study of press secretary Eileen Hawley by Molly Jaqueline Hadfield B.A., University of Kansas 2012. A THESIS submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Journalism and Mass Communications College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2019 Approved by: Major Professor Steven Smethers Copyright © Molly Hadfield 2019. Abstract Sam Brownback’s tumultuous tenure as Governor of Kansas required talented public relations people to work with the media and help him sell his budget ideas to the state. His second of three Communications Directors, Eileen Hawley, served at the time of Brownback’s 2015 tax cuts that caused a massive budget shortfall, plunging the state into a financial crisis. This case study examines the effectiveness of framing strategies used by Hawley, who employed a more politically neutral stance during her messaging surrounding the Kansas budget shortfall. This study uses in-depth interviews with Hawley and Statehouse reporters to assess Hawley’s strategies in handling the ensuing financial crisis. Previous studies have shown that communications directors who present material in a more neutral manner gain the trust of the media, and therefore their frames have more saliency in the press. This study reveals mixed results in using such a strategy, with generally negative assessments from Capital reporters. Table of Contents Chapter 1- Introduction………………………………………………………………………..…1 -

Intraparty Organization in the U.S. Congress by Ruth Frances Bloch Rubin Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Eric Schickler, Chair The purpose of this dissertation is to supply a simple and synthetic theory to help us to understand the development and value of organized intraparty blocs. I will argue that lawmakers rely on these intraparty organizations to resolve several serious collective action and coordination problems that otherwise make it difficult for rank-and-file party members to successfully challenge their congressional leaders for control of policy outcomes. In the empirical chapters of this dissertation, I will show that intraparty organizations empower dissident lawmakers to resolve their collective action and coordination challenges by providing selective incentives to cooperative members, transforming public good policies into excludable accomplishments, and instituting rules and procedures to promote group decision-making. And, in tracing the development of intraparty organization through several well-known examples of party infighting, I will demonstrate that intraparty organizations have played pivotal — yet largely unrecognized — roles in critical legislative battles, including turn-of-the-century economic struggles, midcentury battles over civil rights legislation, and contemporary debates over national health care policy. -

Looking for the Good in Garbage
LOOKING FOR THE GOOD IN ARBAGE G A Wichita garbage truck dumps trash into a landfill in the 1940s or 1950s. Image courtesy of Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum. Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 31 (Autumn 2008): 212–229 212 Kansas History Bill Compton Builds Wichita a Pyrolysis Plant by Angie Gumm n the late 1960s and early 1970s the United States government, concerned over the twin issues of garbage accumulation and oil shortage, funded various resource recovery technologies that it hoped would eventually allow the nation’s trash to supply 2 to 3 percent of its power needs.1 Legislation such as the 1970 Resource Recovery Act and the 1976 Resource Recovery and Conservation Act funded Iseveral demonstration plants throughout the decade. The most expensive, technologically difficult, heav- ily funded, and promising disposal technique was pyrolysis, which cooked rather than burned waste to produce oil, carbon, and gas. But even with the possibility of federal funding, few communities had the financial or intellectual resources to host a pyrolysis plant. Those resource recovery operations that were established mostly failed, and though researchers learned a great deal from their failures during the 1970s, this knowledge was never used to develop new and improved technologies. In fact, once the threat of an energy crisis faded in the early 1980s, the federal government quickly dropped solid waste research and development from its agenda. The government’s abandonment of such questions widened the gap between those who saw technology as part of the environmental problem and those who believed in tech- nological solutions to the waste question. -
