  • What's This I Hear About “Special Axes?”
    What’s this I hear about “special axes?” Posted by Brett Glass to Richard Bennett’s “Broadband Politics” blog at http://bennett.com/blog/2009/06/whats-this-i-hear-about-special-axes/ Those who follow tech policy have probably noticed that, as of this spring, an increasing hue and cry is being raised about the cost of those telecommunications services which are dubbed “special access.” Most people’s inclination, when they hear the term “special access,” is to dismiss the issue as unimportant. After all, if it’s something “special,” it’s probably rare… so how could it be of much concern? And if it’s “special,” doesn’t this mean that it’s a boutique item that really ought to cost more? Back in the 70’s, the late comedic actress Gilda Radner played a Saturday Night Live character named Emily Litella, who would rail on about some issue whose name and meaning she’d gotten wrong, such as “violins on TV” or the “deaf penalty.” (She probably would have misheard “special access” as “special axes;” hence the pun in the headline above.) When she suddenly realized that she had completely misunderstood what the issue was, she’d cut off her monologue with a quick “Never mind!” Likewise, most people — when they find out what “special access” is really about — agree that it’s misnamed and very much deserves attention. That’s the first thing folks need to understand about this issue: There’s nothing “special” at all about “special access.” It consists of the ordinary wholesale, high capacity, point-to-point data connections — often called the “middle mile” — which connect (among other things) cell phone towers to the telephone system and ISPs to the Internet backbone.

  • The Fake News: Examining the Image of the Journalist Through Weekend Update (Part I: 1975-1980)
    Lawrence Murray 2013-2014 J576 The Fake News: Examining the Image of the Journalist Through Weekend Update (Part I: 1975-1980) The Fake News: Examining the Image of the Journalist Through Weekend Update (Part I: 1975-1980) By Lawrence Murray 1 Lawrence Murray 2013-2014 J576 The Fake News: Examining the Image of the Journalist Through Weekend Update (Part I: 1975-1980) ABSTRACT The image of the broadcast news journalist is one that we can identify with on a regular basis. We see the news as an opportunity to be engaged in the world at large. Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update” brought a different take on the image of the journalist: one that was a satire on its head, but a criticism of news culture as a whole. This article looks at the first five seasons of Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update” and the image of the journalist portrayed by the SNL cast members serving as cast members from 1975 (Chevy Chase) until 1980 (Bill Murray and Jane Curtin). This article will show how the anchors’ style and substance does more than tell jokes about the news. The image of the journalist portrayed through the 1970s version of “Weekend Update” is mostly a negative one; while it acknowledges the importance of news and information by being a staple of the show, it ultimately mocks the news and the journalists who are prominently featured on the news. 2 Lawrence Murray 2013-2014 J576 The Fake News: Examining the Image of the Journalist Through Weekend Update (Part I: 1975-1980) INTRODUCTION: WEEKEND UPDATE Saturday Night Live is a sketch comedy show that debuted on NBC in 1975.

Director Lisa D’Apolito and subject and original Saturday Night Live cast member Laraine Newman will be in attendance.

The complete lineup of films at the 38th edition of the Festival will be announced Tuesday, June 19th. "SFJFF38 is proud to open with a woman filmmaker's directorial debut about the iconoclastic Gilda Radner, a Jewish girl from Detroit who became not only an emblem of American comedy's golden age but made incredible contributions to raising awareness about early cancer screenings for women in high risk groups, including Ashkenazi women. Equal parts nostalgic and poignant, Love, Gilda is an exciting Opening Night choice sure to appeal to those that grew up with Gilda's work and those that are being introduced to it today," said Jay Rosenblatt, JFI Program Director.
