Dunn And Deady Hall Analysis

Theodore Dawes is a writer and reporter from Alabama, he uses examples from the frustration of the people in view of the media, and but brings a better understanding to the process that reporter and editors have to go though in creating a story. He states that objectivity has no existence in news reporting, but journalists still provide the truth that it does exist. Reporters have only so much face time to provide a segment, how can they possibly provide multiple sides of a story and not expect to get all of the facts. Editors and reporter have to make difficult decisions including, the morality of the story and what facts they can possibly leave out. Even though it seems the media is only trying to persuade and pick sides in a story, this

The journalists were now seen as self-promotion artist and were accorded with celebrity status. Tom Wolfe became known as white-suited dandy and Hunter Thompson as Doonesbury’s Uncle Duke. (Beuttler, 1984) Furthermore, the narrative technique that journalist used caused them to stray from facts in their reporting. They fabricated details in an attempt to make their narrative me juicy which went against the ethics of

Throughout this essay, I will be examining the effects of one of the most controversial university enrollments. James Meredith paved the way for African American acceptance into a historically all White University. No matter how much adversity Meredith would encounter, he would not give up or give in to institutional racism. The want to keep Ole Miss segregated by those there did not hinder his success. In an attempt to end racial segregation, the Supreme Court ordered the admittance of James Meredith to the campus. This action was a clear defiance of racial segregation. This resulted in an abundant amount of not only riots but also casualties. Meredith paved the way for other African-Americans

Journalists are infamous for their motivation to produce hard hitting editorials, twisting the truth for their own selfish benefit. Steve Chapman strays away from this stereotype by ensuring integrity in every article. Continuously, Chapman strives to present the public with his analytical opinions. Douglas Adams describes the drive of Steve Chapman; “To give real service, you must add something which cannot be bought of measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity”. Steven Chapman, who writes weekly op-eds for the Chicago Tribune, delivers insight into national headlines using suggestive rhetoric appeals to address the reader’s fears of uncertainty followed by accredited reasoning, a condescending tone targeted at the written subject, calling the reader for reformation within society, and dashes to separate general statements from definitive fact, shifting from a mission-based point of view to thought-provoking opinionated writing in order to spark motivation within his readers using his opinions so that they can take action to better their communities in hopes of improving future national development.

Tillman Hall. This is the name of the main building on Winthrop University’s campus and is the name of the clock tower at Clemson University. These two buildings have faced quite a number of racial incidences over the past couple of years due to the founder of the two buildings, Benjamin R. Tillman. Many people have raised the issue of having the name changed to something different over the past couple of years but no changes have been made. There hope is to end the racial incidences that occur and ultimately stop racism on these two campuses. The major question at hand is will changing the name of Tillman Hall reduce the number of race-induced incidents? I do think that changing the name of Tillman Hall on both of these two campuses will reduce racial incidences due to the fact that this changes the atmosphere of the school and really holds itself up to its diversity standard, the changing of the name does not change history but it shows that we as a people have come far and don’t need someone like Benjamin Tillman at the center representing us, and it is very likely that these racial incidents will be put to an end as the “violent racist” and his legacy is gone.

"We believe this organization is the most open, frank, sincere and unbiased group on the campus and to have it continue is our ideal. We know no party lines, we harbor no petty jealousies, we tolerate the indifferent, back the worker, abhor the knocker, and idolize the person who shows that he has the welfare of the University at heart. We idolize him because he possesses these admirable qualities and it matters not to us how he demonstrates it. "In order to keep abreast with the remarkable growth of the school, we believe that the time is ripe for some changes and reforms to take place within the institution but safety and substantial progress does not lie in hysteria and agitation, so we advocate a sane and intelligent appreciation and knowledge of our existing laws, traditions and customs before attempting to improve what now exists. But having a respect for our existing habits and customs that border on veneration, we still believe that academics, athletics, and social conditions can be materially bettered by whole-hearted support and cooperation to the entire University personnel.” (Arizona Daily Wildcat)

San Diego State University changed their mascot of Monty Montezuma from a bare chested macho man to a graceful ambassador. (Cart, 3). Some people feel that school’s named after certain people like Martin Luther King Jr. are alright, but there should not be mascots depicting them. Making mascots that depict certain people is just asking for trouble. When sports are involved with that mascot, things will be said about that mascot that would just be wrong. Like at a football game when a team is playing another team with a Martin Luther King Jr. mascot, they might have a sign that says “Murder the Kings.” That is just something that is unacceptable and unrespectable for someone to say. So team mascots should no be able to be named after certain people.

In Adam Hamze's essay "Removal of the Jefferson Davis Statue Falls Short." Hamze talks about his school's (University of Texas) removal of a statue of Jefferson Davis (the president of the Confederacy), and how to truly show their dedication to equality should put up a statue of a black person. Hamze suggests a statue in honor of the first black student at the university Heman Marion Sweatt. As Hamze explains, "Sweatt endured an emotionally tolling legal battle with the University after being denied admission solely due to his blackness. His victory paved they way for reform of the racist educational system plaguing the country. (Page 141)." Hamze's argument is strong because it offers a good canidate for what he is suggesting, and he offer facts about his

Hunter S. Thompson was the man responsible for what is known today as gonzo journalism. This type of journalism is written in the first-person narrative and places the reporter in the middle of the action, allowing for personal experiences, emotions, and biases in a way that defies traditional journalism. Thompson’s subversive style of journalism was so radical that according to Jennifer Marinelli’s (2010) post on the Michigan Online News Association, “Thompson didn’t just create a new form of journalism. He created a new way of thinking that is still important in today’s society” (para. 2). In other words, he didn’t just transform journalism; he transformed people’s minds. Perhaps this should not come as a surprise that such a man could

As today’s controversy surrounding Confederate memory grows, it begins to include not just the popular monuments to the Confederacy such as Stone Mountain, and monuments to General Lee, Jefferson Davis, and Nathan Forrest. Now even lesser memorials such as Silent Sam have also come under attack from civil rights activists lately. Silent Sam has stood on the University of North Carolina’s main campus in Chapel Hill for over 100 years. In that time there have only been a few times in which Sam has been the object of criticism.

People are not going overboard when they take down Confederate statues and begin attacking names associated with the Confederacy. This is a time in history that should not be on public display. “Innocent words (and Names) Are Under Attack,” is an article that discusses this issue, but unfortunately, does not persuade the reader that society has gone overboard in the act of becoming more politically correct.

I agree with the students who want to change the name of the Forrest Hall Building on MTSU campus, because I think our students have the responsibility as those with the power to change this name since we don’t want to our state university to represent something hateful. When MTSU built its ROTC building in 1954, President Smith named it Forrest Hall in honor of Nathan Bedford Forrest’s reputation as an “interpid confederate cavalry leader who won fame with his brilliant raids. Maybe that was Forrest’s reputation in 1954, but in 2015 Forrest’s reputation becomes one of hate, racism, and violence. We do not want or need that at MTSU.

A NBC News reporter, Chandelis R. Duster, wrote an article on July 20, 2016, based on social disobedience in Yale University. In June of 2016, Yale Custodian, Corey Menafee, broke a stained glass window depicting slavery with a broom handle. This occurred after years of Yale’s students protesting the window and several others in the Calhoun College, which according to Duster, was named after former Vice President John C. Calhoun, who supported slavery and depended on it. His actions cost him his job and started a tense discussion about race throughout Yale. “In April, the university announced the change of the title of faculty living in residential halls from “master” to ‘head of college’ saying it ‘no longer felt it appropriate to be addressed

“Give voice to the voiceless,” says one of the guiding principles of the Society of Professional Journalists’ Code of Ethics. Walter Robinson, former editor of the Boston Globe’s Spotlight Team, has lived up to this lofty pillar. While leading the Spotlight Team, he helped expose the systemic sexual abuse of children at the hands of Catholic priests, and, in the process, gave voice to many who had been silenced for decades.
