Charlie Rose Latest to Fall in Harassment Scandal Ronn Torossian, CEO, 5WPR Yet another media giant has been felled after multiple allegations of sexual harassment piled up to sink his career. Other than Bill O’Reilly, who was fired from Fox after his accusers went public, the unceremonious end to Charlie Rose’s media career may have been the biggest headline yet. Both CBS and PBS parted ways with the popular news anchor after multiple women came forward with some very specific allegations against Rose. In a blunt statement, CBS said: Charlie Rose (Photo source: Twitter) “A short time ago we terminated Charlie Rose’s employment with CBS News, effective immediately… This followed the revelation yesterday of extremely disturbing and intolerable behavior said to have revolved around his PBS program. Despite Charlie’s important journalistic contribution to our news division, there is absolutely nothing more important, in this or any organization, than ensuring a safe, professional workplace — a supportive environment where people feel they can do their best work. We need to be such a place.” Let’s unpack that statement from Public a Relations perspective… First, it should be said that Rose produced his own program, which was then distributed on CBS and PBS networks. However, because the intricacies of this contract were not public knowledge, Rose was effectively a very public face for both networks. They needed to make a clean, public cut to demonstrate their independence from his brand. This is one step in the process Fox fumbled a bit with O’Reilly, and they are still taking hits over it. Next, the statement clearly condemns, without specifically describing, the behavior in question. This air of mystery keeps the focus on CBS making the decision, rather than on people parsing what he did or did not do. Keeping the focus where it should be is vital to any solid PR message. This also put CBS in the position of being able to be magnanimous, thanking Rose for his strong contribution to the network, without being accused of supporting the man who committed the “intolerable behavior.” Finally, CBS detailed what they expect to have in their workplace: a “safe, professional workplace” and a “supportive environment…” This was a strong and poignant stand for CBS, and, from a money perspective, not a simple decision. While, yes, it was the right call, they are still left with a big hole to fill. CBS this morning was built on the personality interplay between Rose and his co-hosts, Gayle King and Norah O’Donnell. Should the network choose to remake the show without Rose, and it succeeds, it could be a strong statement, not just about what should not be tolerated, but what is possible when those who abuse their power are left out of the equation for success. About the Author: 5WPR CEO Ronn Torossian is also author of “For Immediate Release.” .

Connecting You with the World's Greatest Minds Doris Kearns Goodwin Doris Kearns Goodwin is a world-renowned presidential historian and Pulitzer Prize-winning author. Goodwin is the author of six critically acclaimed and New York Times best-selling books, including her most recent, The Bully Pulpit: Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and the Golden Age of Journalism (November, 2013). Winner of the Carnegie Medal, The Bully Pulpit is a dynamic history of the first decade of the Progressive era, that tumultuous time when the nation was coming unseamed and reform was in the air. Steven Spielberg’s DreamWorks Studios has acquired the film and television rights to the book. Spielberg and Goodwin previously worked together on Lincoln, based in part on Goodwin’s award-winning Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, an epic tome that illuminates Lincoln's political genius, as the one-term congressman and prairie lawyer rises from obscurity to prevail over three gifted rivals of national reputation to become president. Team of Rivals was awarded the prestigious Lincoln Prize, the inaugural Book Prize for American History, and Goodwin in 2016 was the first historian to receive the Lincoln Leadership Prize from the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation. The film Lincoln grossed $275 million at the box office and earned 12 Academy Award® nominations, including an Academy Award for actor Daniel Day-Lewis for his portrayal of President Abraham Lincoln. Goodwin was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in history for No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II, and is the author of the best sellers Wait Till Next Year, Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream and The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys, which was adapted into an award-winning five-part TV miniseries.

Politics, Oppression and Violence in Harold Pinter's Plays
Politics, Oppression and Violence in Harold Pinter’s Plays through the Lens of Arabic Plays from Egypt and Syria Hekmat Shammout A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS BY RESEARCH Department of Drama and Theatre Arts College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham May 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract This thesis aims to examine how far the political plays of Harold Pinter reflect the Arabic political situation, particularly in Syria and Egypt, by comparing them to several plays that have been written in these two countries after 1967. During the research, the comparative study examined the similarities and differences on a theoretical basis, and how each playwright dramatised the topic of political violence and aggression against oppressed individuals. It also focussed on what dramatic techniques have been used in the plays. The thesis also tries to shed light on how Arab theatre practitioners managed to adapt Pinter’s plays to overcome the cultural-specific elements and the foreignness of the text to bring the play closer to the understanding of the targeted audience.
