Because this nightmare is a very real problem .. When a child is missing, it is the most emotionally exhausting experience a family may ever face. To help parents take action if this tragedy should ever occur, WKJF -AM and WKJF -FM organized a program to provide the most precise child identification possible. These Fetzer radio stations contacted a local video movie dealer and the Cadillac area Jaycees to create video prints of each participating child as the youngster talked and moved. Afterwards, area law enforce- ment agencies were given the video tape for their permanent files. WKJF -AM/FM organized and publicized the program, the Jaycees donated man- power, and the video movie dealer donated the taping services-all absolutely free to the families. The child video print program enjoyed area -wide participation and is scheduled for an update. Providing records that give parents a fighting chance in the search for missing youngsters is all a part of the Fetzer tradition of total community involvement.

  • Youth/Police Encounters on Chicago's South Side
    Youth/Police Encounters on Chicago’s South Side: Acknowledging the Realities Craig B. Futterman,† Chaclyn Hunt, and Jamie Kalven ABSTRACT This paper highlights the critical importance of acknowledging the reality of Black teenagers’ experiences with the police. Public conversations about urban police practices tend to exclude the perspectives and experiences of young Black people, the citizens most affected by those practices. The aim of the Youth/Police Project— a collaboration of the Mandel Legal Aid Clinic of the University of Chicago Law School and the Invisible Institute—is to access that critical knowledge and ensure it is represented in the public discourse. Rather than examining high-profile incidents of police abuse, we focus on the routine encounters between police and Black youth that take place countless times every day in cities across the nation— interactions that shape how kids see police and how police see kids. Our methodology is straightforward. We ask Black high school students to describe their interactions with the police. And we listen. Three findings stand out, above all, from these conversations: • The ubiquity of police presence in the lives of Black youth. Every student with whom we have worked lives with the ever-present possibility of being stopped, searched, and treated as a criminal. These negative encounters make many students feel “less than a person,” and cause them to curtail their own freedom at a critical phase in their development in efforts to avoid being stopped by the police. • The depth of alienation between young Black people and the police. The overwhelming majority of Black high school students express great distrust of the police, so much that they do not feel comfortable seeking police assistance, even when someone close to them is the victim of a violent crime.

  • The Ten O'clock News: Reported by Carol Marin
    The Chicago Experiment – Journalist Attitudes and The Ten O’Clock News: Reported by Carol Marin Peter A. Casella A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: C.A. Tuggle, PhD, Chair David Cupp Richard Landesberg, PhD Patricia Parker, PhD ©2008 Peter A. Casella ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT PETER A. CASELLA: The Chicago Experiment – Journalist Attitudes and The Ten O’Clock News: Reported by Carol Marin (Under the direction of C.A. Tuggle, PhD) WBBM-TV, the CBS owned-and-operated television station in Chicago, embarked on what was called a “noble experiment” in television journalism in February 2000. The Ten O’Clock News: Reported by Carol Marin was a return to traditional, normative television journalism. The program, with respected journalist Carol Marin as the only anchor, was an attempt by station management to revive the moribund ratings of the late news broadcast with traditional hard news. Station management promised to stick with the new format for at least one year. Nine month later, amid even lower ratings, a new management team cancelled the experiment. This is the first academic investigation of that initiative. This qualitative study utilized data generated from long interviews with five principals of the news program. The findings provided great insight into the philosophies and attitudes that shaped the broadcast, and revealed some of the things that caused the program’s demise. They also revealed a clear and definite attitude of antagonism that varied according to job responsibilities and position in the editorial hierarchy.

  • Assignment America: CBS News' Jim Acosta ('93) Joins Dan Rather On
    CBS News' Jim Acosta ('93) joins Dan Rather on the set for blackout story Story by Liz Cerami Taylor ('92) THE LIGHTS WERE OUT ON BROADWAY; AND LIKE MANY NEW YORKERS, JIM ACOSTA ('93) WAS NOT SURE WHY. BUT A PHONE CALL TO HIS OFFICE, CBS NEWS, WOULD ANSWER THAT QUESTION AND PUT THE SPOTLIGHT BRIGHTLY ON HIM. It was August 2003, and Acosta and his cameraman were returning to CBS after covering another story. They noticed the power was out for several blocks, so Acosta called CBS. "I said, 'Do you guys know why the lights are out?' The bureau chief said, 'Get out of the car and shoot everything.'" Acosta headed to an unlit Times Square and interviewed people on the street. Arriving back at CBS, he quickly found a tie and then joined veteran news anchor Dan Rather on the set to talk about the blackout as the video rolled. "There's a first time for everything," he recalls, laughing. That memorable experience was one of many Acosta has enjoyed since joining CBS News in February 2003. The job is a dream come true for Acosta, whose big break came following a year as a correspondent for CBS Newspath, a news service for CBS affiliates. Acosta's career began to take off while still at JMU. He volunteered at the student-run radio station, WXJM and was also hired as a news reporter by local radio station WSVA. This early exposure to news reporting, along with what he learned in the classroom, became the foundation of his career.
