    “Consider the Source” A Resource Guide to Liberal, Conservative and Nonpartisan Periodicals 30 East Lake Street ∙ Chicago, IL 60601 HWC Library – Room 501 312.553.5760 ver heard the saying “consider the source” in response to something that was questioned? Well, the same advice applies to what you read – consider the source. When conducting research, bear in mind that periodicals (journals, magazines, newspapers) may have varying points-of-view, biases, and/or E political leanings. Here are some questions to ask when considering using a periodical source: Is there a bias in the publication or is it non-partisan? Who is the sponsor (publisher or benefactor) of the publication? What is the agenda of the sponsor – to simply share information or to influence social or political change? Some publications have specific political perspectives and outright state what they are, as in Dissent Magazine (self-described as “a magazine of the left”) or National Review’s boost of, “we give you the right view and back it up.” Still, there are other publications that do not clearly state their political leanings; but over time have been deemed as left- or right-leaning based on such factors as the points- of-view of their opinion columnists, the make-up of their editorial staff, and/or their endorsements of politicians. Many newspapers fall into this rather opaque category. A good rule of thumb to use in determining whether a publication is liberal or conservative has been provided by Media Research Center’s L. Brent Bozell III: “if the paper never met a conservative cause it didn’t like, it’s conservative, and if it never met a liberal cause it didn’t like, it’s liberal.” Outlined in the following pages is an annotated listing of publications that have been categorized as conservative, liberal, non-partisan and religious.

  • Follow a Columnist – 1St Semester
    Follow A Columnist – 1st Semester Originated by Jim Veal; modified by S. Ables 2/5/2016 Some of the most prominent practitioners of stylish written rhetoric in our culture are newspaper columnists. Sometimes they are called pundits – that is, sources of opinion, or critics. On the reverse side find a list of well-know newspaper columnists. Select one (or another one that I approve of) and complete the tasks below. Please start a new page and label as TASK # each time you start a new task. TASK 1: Inform Ms. Ables of your selection for the columnist you will follow. DUE THUR/FRI September 15/16 TASK 1—Brief Biography to reveal their bias. DUE TUES/WED September 27/28 — 10 points Write a brief (100-200 word) biography of the columnist. Suggestions of details to include: birthdate, childhood, education, career, previous jobs, awards, unique experiences, etc. I suggest you import a picture of the author if possible. TASK 2—Five Annotated Columns, complete with a Rhetorical Triangle. DUE TUE/WED November 29/30—50 points Make copies from newspapers or magazines or download them from the internet. All articles must come from the current year. I suggest cutting and pasting the columns into Microsoft word and double-spacing them because it makes them easier to annotate and work with. Your annotations should emphasize such things as: - the assertion of the columnist - identify appeals to logos, pathos, or ethos - what rhetorical strategies are being used to support their assertion? - the tone (or tones) of the column - errors of logic (if any) that appear in the column (logical fallacies) - the way the author uses sources, the type of sources the author uses (Be sure to pay attention to this one!) - the apparent audience the author is writing for - in other words, look for all the components in our Rhetorical Triangle.

  • 1. “Specifically, Both on Twitter and in TV Appearances, You Have Made
    I have deeply valued my time at The Washington Post. And as I said at the beginning of the recent meeting with our executive editor, I am sorry that some of my public statements have angered Post editors. It is true that I have had past conversations with editors about our social media policies. Typically, I spent those meetings seeking specific understanding of precisely where the lines are. It is clear now that top Post editors are more upset than had previously been made clear. Direct and clear communication, even and perhaps especially in moments of frustration and disagreement, are vital to a productive relationship between reporters and their editors. In the same way I would expect an editor to consult me before affixing a correction to one of my stories, I expect that if specific public comments of mine are believed to run afoul of policy that I will be given an opportunity to explain myself prior to being subject to punitive action. I acknowledge that there have been instances in which my tweets or public statements have violated Post policies (it is clear, for example, that I have “criticized competitors”), however the HR sanction I was issued includes factual errors, misstatements about the context and content of my public statements, and sweeping declarations that are unsupported by examples. None of the examples listed in the HR memo are incidents about which I had any discussion with Post editors prior to receiving a formal sanction. I am hopeful that a productive conversation isstill possible, but that cannot happen until the inaccurate HR memo is remedied.

  • Enter at Your Own Risk by Maureen Dowd, Pulitzer Prize- Winning Columnist for the New York Times (Putnam; 039915258X)
    The Introduction to Bushworld: Enter at Your Own Risk by Maureen Dowd, Pulitzer Prize- Winning Columnist for The New York Times (Putnam; 039915258X) In March 2001, I went to flat and dusty Aggieland, Texas A&M at College Station, to speak at the Bush presidential library. "We had to wait until the Silver Fox left the country to ask you,'' George Herbert Walker Bush told me, only half teasing, since Barbara Bush was abroad. He lured me there by promising to show me an eleven-page comic screed against The New York Times and a few other media miscreants that he'd typed on his computer in the Arthurian style of a column I had written portraying him as the Old King and W. as the Boy King. Like me, 41 has an easier time unfurling his feelings writing than talking, so I especially appreciated his wacky satire about a royal court, sprinkled with words like verily, forsooth and liege, and characters such as King Prescott of Greenwich, George of Crawford, Queen Bar, King Bill, Maid Monica, Hillary the Would-Be Monarch, Knight Algore, Earl Jeb of Tallahassee, Duke Cheney, Warrior Sulzberger, Knight Howell Raines, Knight Ashcroft and Lady Maureen, "charming princess'' of the Times op-ed world. The delicious frolicking, falconing and scheming at the "moatless'' court of the old warrior king, however, will have to forever remain our secret. I was a Times White House reporter for the first Bush administration. Though 41 was always gracious, I know he was disappointed at first to have drawn an irreverent, newfangled "reporterette,'' as Rush Limbaugh would say, who wanted to focus as much on the personalities of leaders as on their policies.

  • Model Music Curriculum: Key Stages 1 to 3 Non-Statutory Guidance for the National Curriculum in England
    Model Music Curriculum: Key Stages 1 to 3 Non-statutory guidance for the national curriculum in England March 2021 Foreword If it hadn’t been for the classical music played before assemblies at my primary school or the years spent in school and church choirs, I doubt that the joy I experience listening to a wide variety of music would have gone much beyond my favourite songs in the UK Top 40. I would have heard the wonderful melodies of Carole King, Elton John and Lennon & McCartney, but would have missed out on the beauty of Handel, Beethoven and Bach, the dexterity of Scott Joplin, the haunting melody of Clara Schumann’s Piano Trio in G, evocations of America by Dvořák and Gershwin and the tingling mysticism of Allegri’s Miserere. The Model Music Curriculum is designed to introduce the next generation to a broad repertoire of music from the Western Classical tradition, and to the best popular music and music from around the world. This curriculum is built from the experience of schools that already teach a demanding and rich music curriculum, produced by an expert writing team led by ABRSM and informed by a panel of experts – great teachers and musicians alike – and chaired by Veronica Wadley. I would like to thank all involved in producing and contributing to this important resource. It is designed to assist rather than to prescribe, providing a benchmark to help teachers, school leaders and curriculum designers make sure every music lesson is of the highest quality. In setting out a clearly sequenced and ambitious approach to music teaching, this curriculum provides a roadmap to introduce pupils to the delights and disciplines of music, helping them to appreciate and understand the works of the musical giants of the past, while also equipping them with the technical skills and creativity to compose and perform.

  • Exploration of Urban Extension County Offices: Identifying Patterns of Success Using a Modified Delphi and Case Study
    Copyright by Warren Jack Kerrigan, Jr. 2005 ABSTRACT The Cooperative Extension Service was established in 1914 when the United States of America was a predominantly agrarian society. America’s population according to the 2000 U.S. Census data is 79 percent urban. Extension’s urban county offices provided educational programs to address the needs and issues of contemporary urban life. The practices of urban county offices are becoming increasingly important to the future of the Cooperative Extension Service system. The purpose of this study was to identify current practices and project the patterns of success in urban Extension for the next two to five years (2007 – 2010) A case study and a Modified Delphi technique, descriptive research designs, were used for this exploratory study. The case study site was purposefully selected based on its reputation as an exemplary urban office. The staff of this office was interviewed about office operations and programming, programs were observed, and marketing materials and educational documents were analyzed to provide input into the statements used in the Modified Delphi survey instrument. The case study provided a baseline of current practice. A purposeful sample of Extension professionals and experts across the United States was selected to serve as the panel of experts in three rounds of the Modified Delphi. The study was conducted utilizing a web-based survey instrument, ii which allowed prompt responses to statements and rapid analysis of the data. The case study participants were interviewed in a focus group for reactions to the statements used in the Modified Delphi, providing the practitioners’ perspective in reaction to the Delphi panel’s recommendations.

  • Media Culture: Cultural Studies, Identity and Politics Between The
    Media Culture Media Culture develops methods and analyses of contemporary film, television, music, and other artifacts to discern their nature and effects. The book argues that media culture is now the dominant form of culture which socializes us and provides materials for identity in terms of both social reproduction and change. Through studies of Reagan and Rambo, horror films and youth films, rap music and African- American culture, Madonna, fashion, television news and entertainment, MTV, Beavis and Butt-Head, the Gulf War as cultural text, cyberpunk fiction and postmodern theory, Kellner provides a series of lively studies that both illuminate contemporary culture and provide methods of analysis and critique. Many people today talk about cultural studies, but Kellner actually does it, carrying through a unique mixture of theoretical analysis and concrete discussions of some of the most popular and influential forms of contemporary media culture. Criticizing social context, political struggle, and the system of cultural production, Kellner develops a multidimensional approach to cultural studies that broadens the field and opens it to a variety of disciplines. He also provides new approaches to the vexed question of the effects of culture and offers new perspectives for cultural studies. Anyone interested in the nature and effects of contemporary society and culture should read this book. Kellner argues that we are in a state of transition between the modern era and a new postmodern era and that media culture offers a privileged field of study and one that is vital if we are to grasp the full import of the changes currently shaking us.
