Newsletter 2019 SPRING EDITION SALUTE DINNER ROARS TO RECORD NET $1,125,000 Astonishing Result Surpasses Previous Year Mark of $1 Million Work Continues to Grow Catholic Elementary School Enrollments The Catholic Education Foundation’s 29th annual Salute to Catholic School Alumni dinner extended its record-setting streak of funds raised in support of its mission – and not by just a little bit! Held on the evening of March 27 in the Grand Ballroom of down- town Louisville’s Galt House Hotel, the Salute hosted a sell-out crowd of nearly 1,700 guests, continuing its tradition as a hallmark community event in the Commonwealth. This year’s event soared to a historic record of $1,125,000 in net proceeds, rocketing past the previous year record of $1,000,000. Foundation President Richard A. Lechleiter remarked, “Who would have ever dreamed that this event would raise so much to brighten the futures of so many families! We are truly humbled by this amazing result and thank God for its unprecedented success.” All of the funds from the Salute will be used to provide tuition assistance to families who cannot afford the full cost of a Catholic elementary education for their children. The Archdiocese of Keynote speaker Most Reverend J. Mark Spalding, the Louisville sponsors 40 Catholic elementary schools in central Twelfth Bishop of Nashville Kentucky with aggregate student enrollments of 13,100. This historic event was co-chaired by the Most Reverend Joseph E. Kurtz, Archbishop of Louisville, and Mr. William E. Mudd, President and Chief Operating Officer of Churchill Downs Incorporated. -
CEO Salaries Were on the Rise. Then Came COVID-19
September 9, 2020 Volume 16, Number 34 CEO salaries were on the rise. Then came COVID-19. The agriculture industry was able to wrap up its annual early-year blitz of meetings and conventions before the onset of the coronavirus led to months-long event cancellations, but with next year’s crop of meetings in jeopardy, organizations are taking a nervous look at their balance sheets — including what they pay their CEOs. “A key driver for a lot of organizations is going to be how are they now going to measure success?” asked Bob Skelton, the chief administrative officer at the American Society of Association Executives. Financial indicators have been an easy metric to follow in recent years; an organization with good cash flow generally means a CEO receives a healthy bonus or raise. In fact, Skelton said a 5% bump in pay had become standard for association executives across many different sectors. Now, with the lost revenue of canceled events, one area where there might be some savings is in payroll, specifically in the compensation of their top executives. The numbers reported in this year’s Agri-Pulse CEO salary report just might represent a peak of sorts, and the financial hit of COVID-19 could deal a blow to organizations that will require years of recovery. “The whole landscape right now is murky, and there’s going to be changes,” Skelton said. “We’re not going to know all the details about those changes for another year, but things are definitely going to look different.” www.Agri-Pulse.com 1 But prior to COVID-19, CEO salaries were on a predictable upward trajectory. -

The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network
PLATFORMS AND OUTSIDERS IN PARTY NETWORKS: THE EVOLUTION OF THE DIGITAL POLITICAL ADVERTISING NETWORK Bridget Barrett A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the Hussman School of Journalism and Media. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Daniel Kreiss Adam Saffer Adam Sheingate © 2020 Bridget Barrett ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Bridget Barrett: Platforms and Outsiders in Party Networks: The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network (Under the direction of Daniel Kreiss) Scholars seldom examine the companies that campaigns hire to run digital advertising. This thesis presents the first network analysis of relationships between federal political committees (n = 2,077) and the companies they hired for electoral digital political advertising services (n = 1,034) across 13 years (2003–2016) and three election cycles (2008, 2012, and 2016). The network expanded from 333 nodes in 2008 to 2,202 nodes in 2016. In 2012 and 2016, Facebook and Google had the highest normalized betweenness centrality (.34 and .27 in 2012 and .55 and .24 in 2016 respectively). Given their positions in the network, Facebook and Google should be considered consequential members of party networks. Of advertising agencies hired in the 2016 electoral cycle, 23% had no declared political specialization and were hired disproportionately by non-incumbents. The thesis argues their motivations may not be as well-aligned with party goals as those of established political professionals. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES AND FIGURES ....................................................................................................................

Lexington TV Stations Get Millions for Ads on Senate Race but Give It Scant News Coverage, UK’S Institute for Rural Journalism Finds in Continuing Study
FINAL NUMBERS: Oct. 21 through 5 p.m. Election Day Total news coverage: 3 hours, 49 minutes, 51 seconds 2 hours, 23 minutes, 13 seconds of news Total time of ads (@30 sec.): 115 hours 82 hours, 13 minutes, 30 seconds of ads Ratio of news to advertising: 1 to 29.7 1 to 34.5 PRESS RELEASE Oct. 27, 2008 Contact: Al Cross, 859-257-3744 Lexington TV stations get millions for ads on Senate race but give it scant news coverage, UK’s Institute for Rural Journalism finds in continuing study LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Television stations in Lexington sold almost $3 million worth of advertising to candidates and interest groups in Kentucky’s general election for the U.S. Senate through Oct. 20, but ran relatively few news stories on the nationally important race. Most were horse-race stories about campaign tactics and support, and most of the stories that touched on issues did so only superficially. Those are the major, preliminary findings of a study being conducted by the Institute for Rural Journalism and Community Issues, part of the School of Journalism and Telecommunications at the University of Kentucky. The Institute launched the study because many rural Kentuckians do not read daily newspapers, and their local, weekly papers generally do not cover statewide elections or subscribe to The Associated Press. Thus, for many rural voters, television is the major source of information about candidates in statewide races. The four television stations in Lexington are better situated to cover Kentucky elections than most other stations in the state, because the Lexington TV market is the only major market that lies entirely within Kentucky.
