Degree awarded September 2014 ii © 2014 Ngan Ta THESIS ABSTRACT iii Ngan Ta Master of Arts Department of International Studies September 2014 Title: News Coverage of Sex Trafficking in the US: The Portrayal of Sex Traffickers This thesis is a content analysis of news about sex trafficking published in the US from 2001 to 2013. The focus of the research is the portrayal of sex traffickers in the news. The project discovered that in the news, the public image of sex traffickers is overwhelmingly people of color who are described to be violent, deceptive and forcible. In addition, sex traffickers are portrayed to make sense of the simplistic representation of powerless female trafficking victims. The portrayal of sex traffickers in the news is simplistic and is driven by the state’s response to sex trafficking: punishment of sex traffickers. iv CURRICULUM VITAE NAME OF AUTHOR: Ngan Ta GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE SCHOOLS ATTENDED: University of Oregon, Eugene An Giang University, An Giang, Vietnam DEGREES AWARDED: Master of Arts, 2014, University of Oregon Bachelor of Arts, 2004, An Giang University AREAS OF SPECIAL INTEREST: Gender Development Prostitution Sex Work Human Trafficking Sex Trafficking PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE: Communication Officers, Alliance Anti-Trafic, 2010-2012 Research Assistant, Alliance Anti-Traffic, 2008-2010 Teacher, An Giang University, 2004-2009 GRANTS, AWARDS, AND HONORS: Fulbright Student Program, 2012 v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to Professor Kathie Carpenter, my advisor, for her non-stop support.

JUNE 2014 Funded through Counties by the voter approved Mental Health Services Act (Prop. 63) and overseen by the California Mental Health Services Authority (CalMHSA). suicide is preventable.org MEDIA ANALYSIS - FINAL REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Know the Signs implemented a three-pronged approach to increase California’s news media adherence to the Recommendations: • direct outreach to media with the Recommendations; • education for messengers with “Making Headlines: A Guide to Engaging the Media in Suicide Prevention in California” and two webinars to introduce it; • a series of eight forums to reach messengers and media representatives. We then sought to measure how well California-based newspaper reporting adhered to the Recommendations and whether there were changes after the period of most intensive intervention. Eight of our 11 hypotheses were supported by the findings which show the potential of educating both the media and suicide prevention spokespeople. • There was an increase in the percentage and total number of articles covering the topic of suicide prevention, and a decrease in the percentage of articles that addressed only addressed a suicide death or attempt. • The percentage of articles that provided a suicide prevention resource increased by almost threefold. • The percentage of articles that discussed the method of a specific suicide death/attempt, including the weapon used and graphic details, decreased by more than 50%. • The percentage of articles that used more appropriate language (“killed himself,” “died by suicide”) to describe suicide doubled.

  • Playing the Big Easy: a History of New Orleans in Film and Television
    PLAYING THE BIG EASY: A HISTORY OF NEW ORLEANS IN FILM AND TELEVISION Robert Gordon Joseph A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2018 Committee: Cynthia Baron, Advisor Marlise Lonn Graduate Faculty Representative Clayton Rosati Andrew Schocket © 2018 Robert Joseph All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Cynthia Baron, Advisor Existing cultural studies scholarship on New Orleans explores the city’s exceptional popular identity, often focusing on the origins of that exceptionality in literature and the city’s twentieth century tourism campaigns. This perceived exceptionality, though originating from literary sources, was perpetuated and popularized in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries by film and television representations. As Hollywood’s production standards evolved throughout the twentieth century, New Orleans’ representation evolved with it. In each filmmaking era, representations of New Orleans reflected not only the production realities of that era, but also the political and cultural debates surrounding the city. In the past two decades, as the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the passage of film tax credits by the Louisiana Legislature increased New Orleans’ profile, these debates have been more present and driven by New Orleans’ filmed representations. Using the theoretical framework of Guy Debord’s spectacle and the methodology of New Film History and close “to the background” textual analysis, this study undertakes an historical overview of New Orleans’ representation in film and television. This history starts in the era of Classical Hollywood (1928-1947) and continues through Transitional Hollywood (1948-1966), New Hollywood (1967-1975), and the current Age of the Blockbuster (1975-).
