In particular, a causal model was proposed where the racial stereotypicality of news messages was predicted to interact with the race of political candidates and White news consumers’ racial identification in affecting perceptions of candidates’ leadership prototypicality. In turn, the prototypicality ratings were hypothesized to positively predict expectations of policy performance, candidate affect, and electoral support. In particular, it was predicted that White individuals exposed to racially stereotypical crime news would view African American candidates in unrelated stories as less leader-prototypical than White candidates and this effect was expected be stronger than among Whites exposed to non-stereotypical crime news or no crime news at all. This relationship was also predicted to increase as a function of White participants’ racial ingroup identification. The findings from two experimental investigations offered limited support for the mediated model. The independent variables had weak and qualified effects on the prototypicality ratings. In addition, most of these effects worked in favor of, rather than to the disadvantage of the African American candidate. However, as hypothesized, prototypicality was a consistent predictor of electoral support, candidate affect, and, less so, policy performance expectations. Overall, these findings suggest that race matters in mass mediated political processes, both as a contextual factor and as a characteristic of electoral contenders. 10 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION The news media system in the United States has been referred to as a key facilitator of the country’s social and political processes (Graber, 1997; Patterson, 1993, 1998). Yet, researchers point to patterns in news coverage of public life suggesting that news continues to misrepresent the society’s major ethnic groups (Greenberg, Mastro, & Brand, 2002) in ways that may adversely influence intergroup relations and ultimately perpetuate social inequalities in the United States (Pan & Kosicki, 1996). Alongside the fact that news remains the most popular source of political information (Pew Research Center, 2004), news consumption in general is likely to expose its users to persistently stereotypical and negative portrayals of the largest

    he won an Emmy, SAG Award and Golden Globe for her bravura performance as Marcia Clark in last year’s FX miniseries, The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, but it took Sarah Paulson almost another year to confirm what the TV industry really thinks about her acting chops. Earlier this year, her longtime collaborator and O.J. executive producer Ryan Murphy offered the actress the lead in Ratched, an origin story he is executive producing that focuses on Nurse Ratched, the Siconic, sadistic nurse from the 1975 film One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Murphy shopped the project around to networks, offering a package for the first time that included his frequent muse Paulson attached as star and producer. “That was very exciting and also very scary, because I thought, oh God, what if they take this out, and people are like, ‘No thanks, we’re good. We don’t need a Sarah Paulson show,’” says Paulson. “Thankfully, it all worked out very well.” In the wake of last year’s most acclaimed TV performance, everyone—TV networks and movie studios alike—wants to be in business with Paulson. Ratched sparked a high-stakes bidding war, with Netflix ultimately fending off suitors like Hulu and Apple (which is developing an original TV series strategy) for the project last month, giving the drama a hefty Why the inimitable two-season commitment. And that is only one of three high- profile TV series that Paulson will film over the next year. In Sarah Paulson is the 2018, she’ll begin production on Katrina, the third installment in Murphy’s American Crime Story anthology series for FX, and continue on the other Murphy FX anthology hit that future of TV.

  • Adapting the Juice: Performances of Legal Authority Through Representations of the O.J
    ADAPTING THE JUICE: PERFORMANCES OF LEGAL AUTHORITY THROUGH REPRESENTATIONS OF THE O.J. SIMPSON TRIAL A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English By Aubry Ann Ellison, B.A. Washington, DC April 6, 2017 Copyright 2017 by Aubry Ann Ellison All Rights Reserved ii ADAPTING THE JUICE: PERFORMANCES OF LEGAL AUTHORITY THROUGH REPRESENTATIONS OF THE O.J. SIMPSON TRIAL Aubry Ann Ellison, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Samantha Pinto, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This thesis explores how legal authority is performed through film. While existing theories on adaptation, historical filmmaking, and genre are helpful in considering representations of court cases in film, this project considers how legality is unique in language and performance and how these unique qualities create a powerful force behind courtroom adaptations. To illustrate this force, I will explore contemporary adaptations of the O.J. Simpson trials: Ryan Murphy’s American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson, Jay Z’s The Story of O.J., and O.J.: Made in America. In Chapter One I will use adaptation theory to understand the process by which a court case is transformed into film. Chapter Two interrogates how legal performance interacts with the works' respective genres: music video, documentary, and docudrama. iii The research and writing of this thesis is dedicated to everyone who helped along the way. I am especially grateful to my parents, Julie and Bill, who taught me the value of education my sisters, Elise, Summer, and Carly, who tirelessly encouraged me and my advisor, Samantha Pinto, who is ceaselessly kind and patient.
