  • BIOGRAPHY BOB WOODRUFF ABC News Correspondent
    BIOGRAPHY BOB WOODRUFF ABC News Correspondent Bob Woodruff joined ABC News in 1996 and has covered major stories throughout the country and around the world for the network. He was named co-anchor of “ABC World News Tonight” in December 2005. On Jan. 29, 2006, while reporting on U.S. and Iraqi security forces, Woodruff was seriously injured by a roadside bomb that struck his vehicle near Taji, Iraq. In February 2007, just 13 months after being wounded, Woodruff returned to ABC News with his first on-air report, “To Iraq and Back: Bob Woodruff Reports.” The hour-long, prime-time documentary chronicled his traumatic brain injury (TBI), his painstaking recovery and the plight of thousands of service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with similar injuries. Since returning to the air, Woodruff has reported from around the globe. He has traveled to North Korea eight times, investigating the growing nuclear threats in the hands of Kim Jong Un. Since 2015, Woodruff has been ABC’s primary correspondent throughout Asia, especially China, reporting on topics ranging from the controversial treatment of Muslims in the Xinjiang province to the United States’ presence in the South China Sea. In 2008, ABC News aired his critically acclaimed documentary “China Inside Out,” which examined how China’s global rise impacts what’s being called the “Chinese Century.” On the streets of Manila, he has seen the rising violence and murders following President Rodrigo Duterte’s drug policies. He traveled to Japan in the wake of the devastating natural disasters to report on the stabilization of nuclear reactors in the country.

  • Tribune of the People: Maintaining the Legitimacy of Aggressive Journalism1 Steven E
    Tribune of the people: maintaining the legitimacy of aggressive journalism1 Steven E. Clayman UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES Like other societal institutions, the institution of American journalism confronts a problem of legitimation. In order to be granted continued access to the corridors of power and to maintain the trust of news consumers, the journalistic enterprise must be perceived as essentially valid and legitimate (Hallin, 1994; Tuchman, 1978). As Hallin (1994: 32) has observed: The media have to attend to their own legitimacy. They must maintain the integrity of their relationship with the audience and also the integrity of their own self-image and of the social relationships that make up the profession of journalism. Moreover, rather than being a static phenomenon, legitimacy requires ongoing maintenance and upkeep. Because the practice of journalism frequently tramples on prestigious individuals and institutions, its legiti- macy is recurrently questioned both by news subjects themselves and by members of the public. Aggressive journalists are particularly vulnerable to the charge of having gone beyond the bounds of professionalism or propriety. To insulate themselves from external pressure and more generally to maintain a semblance of legitimacy, journalists draw on a variety of resources,2 one of which is to align themselves with the public at large. The role of public servant has deep historical roots within the profession (Schiller, 1981; Schudson, 1978) and it continues to have salience today, not only as a normative ideal that journalists strive for but also as a strategic legitimating resource. It is no coincidence that ‘tribune’ remains a Media, Culture & Society © 2002 SAGE Publications (London, Thousand Oaks and New Delhi), Vol.

  • The Evolution of the Image of the First Lady
    The Evolution of the Image of the First Lady Reagan N. Griggs Dr. Rauhaus University of North Georgia The role of the First Lady of the United States of America has often been seen as symbolic, figurative, and trivial. Often in comparison to her husband, she is seen as a minimal part of the world stage and ultimately of the history books. Through this research, I seek to debunk the theory that the First Lady is just an allegorical figure of our country, specifically through the analysis of the twenty- first century first ladies. I wish to pursue the evolution of the image of the First Lady and her relevance to political change and public policies. Because a woman has yet to be president of the United States, the First Lady is arguably the only female political figure to live in the White House thus far. The evolution of the First Lady is relevant to gender studies due to its pertinence to answering the age old question of women’s place in politics. Every first lady has in one way or another, exerted some type of influence on the position and on the man to whom she was married to. The occupants of the White House share a unique partnership, with some of the first ladies choosing to influence the president quietly or concentrating on the hostess role. While other first ladies are seen as independent spokeswomen for their own causes of choice, as openly influencing the president, as well as making their views publicly known (Carlin, 2004, p. 281-282).

  • BC Fulton Hall of Fame
    Dear Fultonians, The Fultonian for Summer 2019 was mailed on July 12, 2019 and contained a completely unexpected honor for me as I learned that I had been inducted into the Hall of Fame as a representative of the Golden Age of Fulton Debate. It came at a perfect time for me to immediately show it to my brother Kevin, who had entered BC in 1967 and co-chaired the Fulton High School Debate Tournament in 1968. It also came at a perfect time in the history of Boston College, since the Boston College Magazine had just announced that the archive of issues from 100 years of The Heights has been made available on the internet. So I was able to browse my life at BC and recall my time as a Fultonian. I realize that your march through the decades made me one of the first honorees with an opportunity to thank you for the honor. Accordingly, I feel the obligation to recount my journey to this honor with the help of pictures and the thousands of words they merit. I was in the vortex of the Golden Age, because it didn’t begin with me and it didn’t end with me. My entrance to the Fulton certainly did not presage such an honor, based on my high school record as a member of the Behrens Debate Society of Canisius High School. I certainly couldn’t have been described as a “former all-state debater from Illinois” as Charlie Lawson, CBA ’70 was in 1967. The only debate tournament I won in high school occurred on Nov.

  • Ralph Nader Radio Hour Ep 236 Transcript
    RALPH NADER RADIO HOUR EP 236 TRANSCRIPT David Feldman: From the KPFK Studios in Southern California… Steve Skrovan: … It’s the Ralph Nader Radio Hour. “Stand up, stand up You’ve been sitting way too long” Steve Skrovan: Welcome to the Ralph Nader Radio Hour. My name is Steve Skrovan. My co-host David Feldman is observing Yom Kippur as we record this. He’s atoning, which is ironic because I think one of the things I expect him to atone for is not being here today. So it’s just kind of a vicious circle for him. But we also have the man of the hour, Ralph Nader. Hello Ralph. Ralph Nader: Hello everybody. Steve Skrovan: We have another special program today. In a lot of ways, our guest today, Phil Donahue, is the father of us all here in broadcasting, not to mention podcasting. That’s because the original Phil Donahue Show was born in Dayton, Ohio--not exactly a travel hub for the country’s movers and shakers. His show was one of the first, if not the first, if I’m not mistaken, to use conference-call technology to engage with guests on the phone who couldn’t make the trip to Dayton. On our show here, we do much the same thing, except we’re all in remote locations. I’m in Los Angeles, David is generally in New York, Ralph is in D.C., and our guests have come to us from all over the country and the world. So Phil Donahue literally invented the modern daytime talk show.

  • “A Sturdy Core of Thinking, Fact Seeking Citizens”: the Open Forum Movement and Public Learning in Terre Haute and Hammond, Indiana, in the 1920S
    “A Sturdy Core of Thinking, Fact Seeking Citizens”: The Open Forum Movement and Public Learning in Terre Haute and Hammond, Indiana, in the 1920s Arthur S. Meyers” In Sinclair Lewis’s fictional Zenith, Ohio, in 1920, George Babbitt complained to his wife that their daughter and her beau were “trudging off to lectures by authors and Hindu philosophers and Swedish lieutenants.” Lewis was describing an actual phenomenon taking place in several hundred industrial cities, including at least four in Indiana. The Open Forum lecture movement was remarkable: a locally planned, non-partisan, non-sectarian initiative in public learning, reaching thousands of people around the country. Expanding beyond the Chautauqua lecture movement in topics and locale, it brought a wide range of people together to discuss the vital concerns and intellectual advances of the day and to consider the core beliefs and values in their lives.’ Although the Open Forum has faded from history, it was a model of social commitment, public learning, and freedom of speech that took root not only in metropolitan areas but also in small cities in the Midwest. The story of the movement in Terre Haute and Hammond in the 1920s provides fresh insight into Indiana’s history, revealing a previously unknown interest in the ideas of liberal reformers and support for public learning, and documenting the social activism of a minister and rabbi. It also suggests that other smaller urban communities of the Midwest were less provincial and more politically varied than most accounts of the era suggest. The Open Forum is best understood in both religious and political terms.
