  • Gazette Project Interview with Roy Reed Little Rock
    Gazette Project Interview with Roy Reed Little Rock, Arkansas, 15 March 2000 Interviewer: Harri Baker Harri Baker: This is a continuation of interviews with Roy Reed and Harri Baker. This is March 15th in the year 2000. Roy, we had carried your story right up to the point where you are about to get hired by the Arkansas Gazette. So, how did that come about? It is the year of 1956. I understand that a childhood friend of yours was a printer at the Gazette and was somehow involved in the process. Roy Reed: That’s right. His name was Stan Slaten. Stanley and I grew up together in Piney, on the outskirts of Hot Springs. We chased girls together. In fact - -- I can’t remember if I told this or not --- Stanley wrecked my Model A pickup truck because he couldn’t stand it that the girl sitting between us was paying more attention to me than to him. He took his hands off the wheel just long enough to run off the bluff. Nobody was hurt. Stanley and I used to go out on the river, the Ouachita River, and put out trot lines. Now and then, we would get a hold of --- It seems to me the most whiskey that we were able to buy, between the two of us, was probably a pint or a half of a pint. With boys that are fifteen years old, that is about all it takes. We would build a fire and heat up wieners and do the things that 1 boys do that they consider necessary in growing up.

  • Mcvicker on Roberts and Klibanoff, 'The Race Beat: the Press, the Civil Rights Struggle, and the Awakening of America'
    JHistory McVicker on Roberts and Klibanoff, 'The Race Beat: The Press, the Civil Rights Struggle, and the Awakening of America' Review published on Sunday, April 1, 2007 Gene Roberts, Hank Klibanoff. The Race Beat: The Press, the Civil Rights Struggle, and the Awakening of America. New York: Knopf Publishing Group, 2006. 489 pp. $30.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-679-40381-4. Reviewed by Jeanette McVicker (SUNY Fredonia) Published on Jhistory (April, 2007) The Race Beat appears at a crucial moment for considerations of the history of race and representation in the United States and of the often contradictory role played by the national news media in covering it. Authors Gene Roberts and Hank Klibanoff--each of whom has logged reporting time in the South, Roberts doing so during the civil rights era--painstakingly record the stories of the black and white journalists who, in the years following World War II, focused the nation's attention on the myth of "separate but equal" through the frequently riveting coverage of blacks' struggle for full legal integration. The book, which has won the 2007 Pulitzer Prize in history, reminds readers living in a media-saturated age what it was like for journalists to realized the awesome power the press held to inspire change. Roberts, as former national editor for the New York Times and current professor of journalism at the University of Maryland, and Klibanoff, who spent twenty years at thePhiladelphia Inquirer before becoming managing editor for news at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, take the landmark Carnegie Corporation report "An American Dilemma: The Negro Problem and Modern America" (1944) as a critical point of departure for their primary organizing focus: the power of the press to "publicize" the system of legal segregation in the United States.

  • University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in ' sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections w ith a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
