Longest said dorm storming and on-the-ground volunteer work are the strategies that will carry the most weight with students. Fairley said she will have staffers stationed all across campus. “I’m grateful to have a dedicated and enthusiastic campaign staff,” she said. Warche Downing said he plans to rely heavily on dorm storming and word of mouth to gain signatures. “We want to get at least 2,000,” he said. Candidates must collect 1,250 original signatures by Jan. 31 at 5 p.m. to appear on the ballot.

  • Press Record and Just Get the Hell out of the Way.”
    MAVIS STAPLES “I’m the messenger,” Mavis Staples says on the eve of her 80th birthday. “That’s my job—it has been for my whole life—and I can’t just give up while the struggle’s still alive. We’ve got more work to do, so I’m going to keep on getting stronger and keep on delivering my message every single day.” That message—a clarion call to love, to faith, to justice, to brotherhood, to joy—lies at the heart of ‘We Get By,’ Staples’ spectacular twelfth studio album and first full-length collaboration with multi-GRAMMY Award-winner Ben Harper. Backed by her longtime touring band, Staples breathes extraordinary life into Harper’s compositions on the record, delivering roof-raising performances with both a youthful vigor and a commanding maturity. The arrangements here are spare but weighty, matched by Harper’s suitably lean and thoughtful production, and Staples seizes the opportunity to showcase her remarkable and continued evolution as an artist, one still growing and exploring more than half a century into her storied career. ‘We Get By’ is undoubtedly a timely collection, arriving such as it does in the face of deep social divisions and heightened political tensions, but like everything Staples touches, it’s also larger than any particular moment, a timeless appeal to the better angels of our nature that’s universal in its reach and unwavering in its assurance of better things to come. “When I first started reading the lyrics Ben wrote for me, I said to myself, ‘My God, he’s saying everything that needs to be said right now,’” Staples remembers.

    Portvokter, kritiker, eller heiagjeng? En komparativ studie av musikkartikler på nett Else M. Solheim Masteroppgave i journalistikk Institutt for medier og kommunikasjon UNIVERSITETET I OSLO 10. mai 2017 I II Portvokter, kritiker, eller heiagjeng? – En komparativ studie av musikkartikler på nett III ≤ Else M. Solheim 2017 Portvokter, kritiker, eller heiagjeng? – En komparativ studie av musikkartikler på nett Else M. Solheim http://www.duo.uio.no Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo IV V Sammendrag I denne oppgaven undersøker jeg hvordan musikknettsidenes innhold er annerledes sammenlignet med avisenes musikkartikler på nett. Ved bruk av kvalitativt intervju med tre journalister og to musikkskribenter, og kvantitativ innholdsanalyse av 454 artikler, hentet fra en toukersperiode høsten 2016 og våren 2017, er dette grunnlag for studiens analyse og funn. Basert på dette har jeg analysert hva avisene fokuserer på av innhold, hva musikknettsider fokuserer på, og hva som er likt og ulikt mellom dem. Dette blir hovedsakelig diskutert ut ifra teorier om portvaktfunksjonen og nyhetskriterier. Studiens hovedfunn viser at avisene publiserer mer kjendisnyheter på sine musikksider enn anmeldelser av musikkutgivelser, mens musikknettsidene fokuserer mye på musikknyheter og -kritikk. Både aviser og musikknettsider prioriterer norske artister, men hvilke norske artister de skriver om, varierer fra nettside til nettside. Avisene skriver mer om norske artister kjent fra talentprogram, noe musikknettsidene ikke publiserer om. Det er tydelig at det har skjedd en endring i avisenes innhold på nett, men også en endring hos etablerte musikknettsider som møter konkurranse fra andre musikknettsider. Abstract In this thesis, I examine how the content in online music magazines differs from the music sites of online newspapers.
