    Tribune of the people: maintaining the legitimacy of aggressive journalism1 Steven E. Clayman UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES Like other societal institutions, the institution of American journalism confronts a problem of legitimation. In order to be granted continued access to the corridors of power and to maintain the trust of news consumers, the journalistic enterprise must be perceived as essentially valid and legitimate (Hallin, 1994; Tuchman, 1978). As Hallin (1994: 32) has observed: The media have to attend to their own legitimacy. They must maintain the integrity of their relationship with the audience and also the integrity of their own self-image and of the social relationships that make up the profession of journalism. Moreover, rather than being a static phenomenon, legitimacy requires ongoing maintenance and upkeep. Because the practice of journalism frequently tramples on prestigious individuals and institutions, its legiti- macy is recurrently questioned both by news subjects themselves and by members of the public. Aggressive journalists are particularly vulnerable to the charge of having gone beyond the bounds of professionalism or propriety. To insulate themselves from external pressure and more generally to maintain a semblance of legitimacy, journalists draw on a variety of resources,2 one of which is to align themselves with the public at large. The role of public servant has deep historical roots within the profession (Schiller, 1981; Schudson, 1978) and it continues to have salience today, not only as a normative ideal that journalists strive for but also as a strategic legitimating resource. It is no coincidence that ‘tribune’ remains a Media, Culture & Society © 2002 SAGE Publications (London, Thousand Oaks and New Delhi), Vol.

From 1986 until mid-1999, prices generally fluctuated within a $10 to $20 per barrel band, but alarms sounded when market prices started hovering above $30. 1 In July 2001, Senator Arlen Specter addressed the Senate regarding the need to confront OPEC and urged President Bush to file an International Court of Justice case against the organization, on the basis that perceived antitrust violations were a breach of “general principles of law.” 2 Prices dipped initially, but began a precipitous rise in mid-March 2002.

  • Keynote Speaker: Ted Koppel
    TMPAA 2012 Mid Year Meeting Keynote SpeaKer: ted Koppel Ted Koppel was the youngest full-time correspondent ever hired by ABC News. By the time he left the network, 42 years later, Ted was the most honored reporter in the network’s history; having received more Overseas Press Club awards than the previ- ous record holder—Edward R. Murrow—two George Polk awards, eight George Foster Peabody awards, eleven duPont-Columbia awards (television’s equivalent to the Pulitzer Prize) and 42 Emmys. Ted covered Dr. Martin Luther King’s march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, he was a war correspondent in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, traveled with President Nixon to China during his historic visit in 1972, and covered Henry Kissinger’s shuttle diplomacy in the Middle East. He has covered wars in Bosnia, Congo and Somalia, covered the first Gulf War and was embedded with the 3rd Armored Infantry Division during the invasion of Iraq in 2003. The first presidential campaign that Ted covered was Barry Goldwater’s in 1964. The most recent was Barak Obama’s in 2008. On the last day of the Soviet Union, Ted was the only reporter with Mikhail Ghorbachev inside the Kremlin. On the day of Nelson Mandela’s release from prison, Ted interviewed him at his home in Suweto, South Africa. Ted was the anchor and managing editor of Nightline over a period of 26 years, or roughly 6,000 programs, making him the longest-serving news anchor in broadcast network history. Since leaving ABC, Ted has been a contributing columnist for The New York Times and The Washington Post.
