  • 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.

  • Resurrecting the Also-Rans: Image Repair Debate Strategies of Democrats Who Voted to Authorize the War in Iraq
    Volume 46, Number 2, Spring 2014, pp. 159-178 Davis & Glantz 159 Resurrecting the Also-Rans: Image Repair Debate Strategies of Democrats Who Voted to Authorize the War in Iraq Corey B. Davis & Mark J. Glantz Joseph Biden, Chris Dodd, John Edwards, and Hillary Clinton were unique among 2007-2008 Democratic presidential candidates. They voted October 11, 2002 to authorize U.S. military use in Iraq and, with the exception of Edwards, voted on October 17, 2003 to authorize supplemental appropriations for the war. These votes presented an image problem for the candidates with Democratic primary voters who strongly opposed the war and favored its prompt end. Aside from Clinton, these candidates faded early in the contest. The current study analyzed attempts by Biden, Dodd and Edwards to repair, with voters, their respective images. Edwards’ use of mortification and Biden’s convincing use of transcendence are evaluated as the most effective image repair strategies. Implications for politicians, voters, and political communication scholars also are considered. Principal among these implications is the finding that political debates are an ideal context for the study of apologia. n 2007, Democratic contenders for the 2008 presidential I nomination, four of whom had been in the Senate for the controversial 2002 and 2003 war authorization votes, found themselves responding to accusations of reversing positions or flip- flopping. Senator Joseph Biden of Delaware, Senator Hillary Clinton of New York, Senator Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, and former Senator John Edwards of North Carolina had voted on October 11, 2002 to authorize the use of the U.S.

  • Politico and the Edwards Affair
    CSJ‐08‐0018.3PO News or Rumor? Politico and the Edwards Affair Case Summary Countless news stories grow out of what may be conventionally defined as gossip: small talk with a source, or chit‐chat at a bar. Tabloids, blogs, and other non‐traditional media often feel comfortable publishing such information, even if it has not been independently verified. Mainstream news outlets tend to tread more carefully, wary of spreading unsubstantiated rumors and material gleaned from flimsy sources, or encouraging reporting practices they view as unethical or insufficiently rigorous. This case, which centers on the newly launched news website Politico in July 2008, addresses the differences and similarities between online or tabloid journalism, and more “respectable” mainstream journalism. For almost a year, rumors had swirled that presidential candidate John Edwards had had an affair with an employee, Rielle Hunter, and had even fathered a child with her. Most of the speculation had been limited to online blogs and the National Enquirer, a tabloid best known for salacious articles and a mixed record of accuracy. In January 2008, Edwards, whose wife Elizabeth was waging a public battle with breast cancer, dropped out of the race and, for the most part, the headlines too. That began to change in July, when the Enquirer reported that it had recently caught Edwards in a late‐night meeting with Hunter, and had photos to prove it. Edwards denied the allegations. Mainstream media (MSM), for the most part, steered clear of the story. That fact alone interested Politico’s media writer Michael Calderone, who began to mull the subject for a future article.

Forced to defend their choices as wives and mothers, Edwards and Sanford answered the question, “Should I stay or should I go?” Although their persuasive purposes were quite different, Edwards and Sanford each employed effective rhetoric to heighten their credibility and restore their place in society. Elizabeth Edwards chose to preserve her marriage, while Jenny Sanford decided to sever her

Once an affair becomes public knowledge many politicians seeks to repair a tarnished image. Through the use and understanding of Goffman’s self‐ presentation strategies politicians have been able to once again find favor with the public. Bill Clinton and Mark Sanford were both accused to engaging in extra‐marital affairs during their political career; and later admitted guilt to transgressions. Through the analysis of print and television and by assessing audience reaction; self‐presentation strategies have been demonstrated by both politicians. Political Affairs 4 Table of Contents Page 1.
