My years at PDS have been the capstone of my 4 1-year career as an educator. I have come to deeply respect the PDS faculty and admire the widespread support for the School from all members of the PDS community - parents, trustees and students. I am also honored to have led the School through the development of its most recent strategic plan. This important groundwork precipitated our capital campaign, which is raising funds to improve faculty compensation and financial aid, and to expand the library, arts and indoor athletics facilities. I am proud of what we have accomplished together. Indeed, my heartfelt commitment to the PDS community is the reason I shared my plans now. I look forward to working energetically and enthusias­ tically over the next 16 months to achieve our many goals, including a successful conclusion to the capital campaign. This timetable will also enable the Board of Trustees to proceed thoughtfully in the search for a new head o f school. When I do retire, I know I will be leaving PDS in very capable hands. I applaud the Board of Trustees’ plan to bring in former PDS Flead of School Lila Lohr as interim leader for the 2007-08 academic year. A popular and effective head of school from 1995 to 2000, Lila will manage school operations while the trustees conduct a comprehensive search for a permanent leader by the opening of school in September 2008. I genuinely feel blessed by the colleagues and friends I have found at PDS. I hope over the upcoming months you will continue working with me to bolster the sense of pride and depth of caring at PDS. I believe our work here - providing the best education possible to the students in our care - can make the world a better place. I will always cherish my time at Princeton Day School. Sincerely, \ « J c ^ Judith R.

  • Examining the Magazine Industry Standard
    POINT OF VIEW: EXAMINING THE MAGAZINE INDUSTRY STANDARD A Thesis presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School at the University of Missouri In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts by CRISTINA DAGLAS John Fennell, Thesis Supervisor MAY 2009 © Copyright by Cristina Daglas 2009 All Rights Reserved The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the thesis entitled POINT OF VIEW : EXAMINING THE MAGAZINE INDUSTRY STANDARD presented by Cristina Daglas, a candidate for the degree of master of arts, and hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Professor John Fennell Professor Jennifer Rowe Professor Amanda Hinnant Professor Maureen Stanton ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am immensely grateful to my thesis chair, John Fennell, who believed in both the necessity for and the feasibility of this research. When many doubted the ability to interview prominent magazine professionals, John provided support and guidance while always keeping setbacks and successes in perspective. John has been a mentor from first semester of graduate school when I enrolled in his writing course, and I am so pleased that I could pursue a topic I am incredibly passionate about with his guidance. However, this research would naturally not be what it is without the rest of my fabulous committee. Jennifer Rowe, my other mentor, adviser and friend, was an invaluable resource, as she provided big-picture edits, line edits and, most importantly, support. Amanda Hinnant provided advice in the earliest days of thesis conception as well as the scholarly perspective necessary in any academic work. Maureen Stanton was also a wonderful resource, imparting an outside, nonfiction mindset that added another dimension to this journalistic thesis.

  • First Ladies As Political Women
    ABSTRACT Title of Disserta tion: FIRST LADIES AS POLITICAL WOMEN: PRESS FRAMING OF PRESIDENTIAL WIVES, 1900 – 2001 Lisa M. Burns, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor Shawn J. Parry -Giles Department of Communication University of Maryland This project contends that press framing of the U.S. first lady institution throughout the twentieth century positioned presidential wives as important public women who were presented as models of American womanhood. An analysis of the print news coverage reveals that the first lady institution serves as a site of ideological contestation over women’s public and political roles, reflecting the intersection of gender, publicity, and power at particular historical mome nts. The press practice of gendered framing draws on often competing ideologies of American womanhood, and in doing so shapes the content of news narratives. The subjects of the stories often become representatives of social gender norms. I call this pract ice personification framing, which is the positioning of a well -known individual as the embodiment of a particular ideology. A personification frame serves as an ideological short cut used by journalists to simplify, in the case of first ladies, the comple xities of gender role performance, making such discussions easier to insert into the limited space of a single news story . An outgrowth of personification framing is the emergence of first ladies as public women , gendered celebrities , political activists , and political interlopers , positioning that reflects press representations of women’s public and political roles at various points in U.S. history. The publicity and scrutiny surrounding gendered performances of the first lady position construct boundarie s of empowerment and containment that help to normalize women’s public activity and domestic empowerment while challenging women’s public and private political influence.

  • An Analysis of Media Coverage of First Ladies
    FIRST IMPRESSIONS: AN ANALYSIS OF MEDIA COVERAGE OF FIRST LADIES AND THEIR INAUGURAL GOWNS FROM JACKIE KENNEDY IN 1961 TO MICHELLE OBAMA IN 2009 by AMY SULLIVAN DIANNE BRAGG, COMMITTEE CHAIR CHRIS ROBERTS, COMMITTEE CO-CHAIR AMANDA THOMPSON A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Journalism and Creative Media in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2018 Copyright Amy Sullivan 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT The Presidential Inaugural Ball is a special moment for every president’s wife because it is her first official public appearance as first lady of the United States. Historically, the manner in which the first lady presents herself in the way she dresses often contributes to her public image. Scrutiny from the media includes a focus on what she wears to the inauguration, as well as examination and analysis of her inaugural ball gown that evening. The gowns have a tradition of setting the tone for the first lady in the new administration as well as providing glimpses of a first lady’s personality. The gown gives the world a look at her personal style and a glimpse at her potential influence on fashion trends. Most first ladies recognize and understand the expectations of the role and what it means to the public. Some, however, have questioned why their appearance should matter so long as they are true to themselves. In positions of power, though, appearances are important because the media can use fashion as a lens to filter and interpret information to the public.

  • A Readers Guide to Topics for Discussion
    A Readers Guide to Topics for Discussion 1. In the Introduction to the book Marjorie’s husband, Timothy Noah, admits to subverting Randall Jarrell’s meaning by casting Marjorie as “The Woman at the Washington Zoo.” How is Marjorie like and unlike the woman of the poem’s title? 2. Also in the Introduction, Tim describes Marjorie’s “unrelenting refusal to accept fraudulent surface reality and her remarkable skill at finding the hidden truth that lay beneath.” How does this sensibility reveal itself in her portrait of Richard Darman? Of Barbara Bush? 3. Marjorie’s subject matter evolves throughout the book—from Washington personalities to marriage, family and illness and finally, to Marjorie herself. How does your view of the author change as the book progresses? 4. In “Entomophobia” Marjorie defines the “physics of motherhood” as the opposing forces of “maddening disorder, the constant unexamined fear” on the one side, and the “blessedly equal force of …wonder” on the other. How does this tension play out in the last section of the book? How does it play out in your own life? 5. Marjorie argues that most American women foster the hope that there is “An Answer” to the dilemma of work and family. But she accepts that there is a fundamental, irresolvable tension in working motherhood, writing: “guilt, I now think, is the tribute that autonomy pays to love.” Do you agree? 6. In “The Alchemist” Marjorie paints a portrait of her mother as self‐ denying. How is her mother also, to some extent, selfish? How did Marjorie chose to live her life differently? How are these two life views illustrated through their relationships with food? 7.
