Battle of the Brains: Election-Night Forecasting at the Dawn of the Computer Age
ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: BATTLE OF THE BRAINS: ELECTION-NIGHT FORECASTING AT THE DAWN OF THE COMPUTER AGE Ira Chinoy, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Dissertation directed by: Professor Emeritus Maurine Beasley Philip Merrill College of Journalism This dissertation examines journalists’ early encounters with computers as tools for news reporting, focusing on election-night forecasting in 1952. Although election night 1952 is frequently mentioned in histories of computing and journalism as a quirky but seminal episode, it has received little scholarly attention. This dissertation asks how and why election night and the nascent field of television news became points of entry for computers in news reporting. The dissertation argues that although computers were employed as pathbreaking “electronic brains” on election night 1952, they were used in ways consistent with a long tradition of election-night reporting. As central events in American culture, election nights had long served to showcase both news reporting and new technology, whether with 19th-century devices for displaying returns to waiting crowds or with 20th-century experiments in delivering news by radio. In 1952, key players – television news broadcasters, computer manufacturers, and critics – showed varied reactions to employing computers for election coverage. But this computer use in 1952 did not represent wholesale change. While live use of the new technology was a risk taken by broadcasters and computer makers in a quest for attention, the underlying methodology of forecasting from early returns did not represent a sharp break with pre-computer approaches. And while computers were touted in advance as key features of election-night broadcasts, the “electronic brains” did not replace “human brains” as primary sources of analysis on election night in 1952. -

Derick Cordoba Dissertation
© 2017 Derick Cordoba LITURGICAL JAZZ: THE LINEAGE OF THE SUBGENRE IN THE MUSIC OF EDGAR E. SUMMERLIN BY DERICK CORDOBA DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fuLfiLLment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Music with a concentration in Jazz Performance in the Graduate CoLLege of the University of IlLinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2017 Urbana, IlLinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Lawrence Gray, Chair Professor GabrieL SoLis, Director of Research Associate Professor Tito CarriLLo Professor Erik Lund ABSTRACT This dissertation discusses the Lineage of Liturgical jazz with a particuLar focus on Edgar Eugene “Ed” SummerLin (1928-2006). This Lineage stretches back into the Late 1950s, but has LargeLy been unexplored beyond a seLect few high-profiLe artists. I trace the evoLution of Liturgical jazz from several composers’ earLiest attempts to the present day. ALthough the Liturgical jazz movement began in the Late 1950s, it was primariLy a product of the turbuLent 1960s in America. This was a period of great change and expLoration not onLy in jazz but in organized reLigion as weLL. A deep and frank discussion emerged as to what Liturgical music shouLd and wouLd be alLowed to sound Like. These decisions at the highest LeveLs of denominations had ramifications that are stiLL being feLt today in the churches of America; however, the primary focus of this dissertation is on the formative period of Liturgical jazz during the 1960s and earLy 1970s. These years give a basis for better understanding and appreciating the deveLopment and defining features of Liturgical jazz. SummerLin is a figure that is often cited as a pioneer in Liturgical jazz, but no one has offered a history of his Life, his music, or why his Liturgical music was so revoLutionary. -

Lawyers' Litigation Forecasts Play an Integral Role in the Justice System
Journalism and Mass Communication, January 2015, Vol. 5, No. 1, 24-33 doi: 10.17265/2160-6579/2015.01.004 D DAVID PUBLISHING CBS and NBC Expand Nightly News to 30 Minutes: A History of the 1963 Expansion Chelsie Akers University of Arizona, Tucson, United States D. Spencer Chalk Brigham Young University, Provo, United States The year 1963 was pivotal for broadcast news. Walter Cronkite forever changed how the American people receive their news when he anchored the first 30 minute nightly news. During the 60s, television news had two strong rivals: the newspaper and the radio. The target audience for nightly newscasts was to a generation of people that were used to getting news elsewhere. Since people were familiar with getting the news from radio, news stations relayed the news the same way as it was done on the radio: as talking heads. In other words, the news stations used a trusted face to read the news to people without any improvements on presentation. This all changed when CBS and NBC saw a robust and lucrative future for the nightly news. This paper will outline the steps taken by the two networks to make an extended half hour evening news a reality. Keywords: nightly news, Walter Cronkite, political conventions, Huntly-Brinkly, Telstar As the invent of the television started to become a house hold item, television news became part of a home. Families everywhere in America circled around the television set to hear what the beloved and trusted news anchors had to share. One such news anchor was Walter Cronkite, a recipient of the William Allen White Award, a Peabody Award, an Emmy Award, the George Polk Award, and a Gold Medal Award, but most notably known as “the most trusted man in America” (Biography). -

WHITE LECTURE 3 The Theodore H. White Lecture on Press and Politics commemorates the life of the late reporter and historian who cre- ated the style and set the standard for con- temporary political journalism and campaign coverage. White, who began his journalism career delivering the Boston Post, entered Har- vard College in 1932 on a newsboy’s schol- arship. He studied Chinese history and Oriental languages. In 1939, he witnessed the bombing of Peking while freelance reporting on a Sheldon Fellowship, and later explained, “Three thousand human beings died; once I’d seen that I knew I wasn’t going home to be a professor.” During the war, White covered East Asia for Time and returned to write Thunder Out of China, a controversial critique of the American-supported Nationalist Chinese government. For the next two decades, he contributed to numerous periodicals and magazines, published two books on the Sec- ond World War and even wrote fiction. -
Journalism Ethics 1963-1975
Two Visions of Responsibility: How National Commissions Contributed to Journalism Ethics, 1963-1975 Glen Feighery © 2009 BY THE ASSOCIATION FOR EDUCATION IN JOURNALISM AND MASS COMMUNICATION Glen Feighery is an assistant professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Utah. The author wishes to thank Professor Donald L. Shaw of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Abstract The early 1970s witnessed significant developments in journalism ethics as news organizations revised or adopted codes of conduct, appointed ombudsmen, formed news councils, and took the first steps toward integrating newsrooms. Although some scholars have argued that this emphasis on ethics was a result of the Hutchins Commission or Watergate, this monograph suggests an additional factor: three national commissions that criticized the news media between 1964 and 1970. The President’s Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy, the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, and the National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence accused journalists of prejudice, sensationalism, and even inciting vio - lence. The commissions have been mostly ignored in regard to journal - ism ethics, and few scholars if any have attempted to tie together the impact of all three. This monograph presents a history of ideas – notions about journalists’ responsibilities – to shed new light on how journalism ethics developed in the twentieth century. Watergate high - lighted issues like the use of anonymous sources, but it did not specif - ically suggest what journalists should do. The three commissions did. They challenged journalists to fundamentally rethink their work and the purpose of it. From a process of challenge and response, an expand - ed sense of media responsibility arose. -

ABSTRACT Chicken Noodle News: CNN and the Quest for Respect
ABSTRACT Chicken Noodle News: CNN and the Quest for Respect Katy McDowall Director: Sara Stone, Ph.D. This thesis, focusing on Cable News Network, studies how cable news has changed in the past 30 years. In its infancy, CNN was a pioneer. The network proved there was a place for 24-hour news and live story coverage. More than that, CNN showed that 24-hour- news could be done cheaper than most of the era’s major networks. But time has changed cable news. As a rule, it is shallower, more expensive and more political, and must adapt to changing technologies. This thesis discusses ways CNN can regain its place in the ratings against competitors like Fox News and MSNBC, while ultimately improving cable news by sticking to its original core value: the news comes first. To accomplish this, this thesis looks at CNN’s past and present, and, based upon real examples, makes projections about the network’s (and journalism’s) future.
