Girls, Girls, Girls. A Study Of The Popularity Of Journalism As A Career Among Female Teenagers And Its Corresponding Lack Of Appeal To Young Males, Mike Grenby, Molly Kasinger, Roger Patching, Mark Pearson

Roger Patching

Australian journalism programs have long reported a disproportionate number of female students and the industry is becoming increasingly feminised. The latest (2006) Census figures showed that, for the first time in Australian history, women outnumbered men in journalism and related occupations. While many researchers have commented upon the increased popularity of journalism as a career choice among young women and its decline in popularity among young men, none have undertaken a comprehensive project researching the reasons for this phenomenon. This study has addressed this gap in the research. The research team conducted an extensive literature review, surveyed 444 senior secondary …

For The Record: An Oral History Of Rochester, New York Newsworkers, Bonnie Brennen

Bonnie Brennen

For the Record focuses on the experiences of journalists, primarily in their own words, who worked in Rochester, New York, on the Gannett owned Democrat & Chronicle and the Times Union. While there are occasional glimpses back to the beginning of the twentieth century and conversations regarding current newsroom policies by those who are still involved in the business, most of the material in this study centers on Gannett during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s-a period that may be seen as pivotal to the development of the Gannett Company. Although there is an enormous wealth of material available on the …

Picturing The Past: Media, History, And Photography, Bonnie Brennen, Hanno Hardt

Bonnie Brennen

Photographs shape not only what we remember but also how we remember. Picturing the Past explores the relations between photojournalism and history. Its contributors discuss dramatic changes in the American press's coverage of presidential death from McKinley through Kennedy and the curious distillation of enormous collections of photographs taken during cataclysmic events such as the Civil War and the Holocaust into a handful of images that have become cultural icons. Ranging from the idealization of American life in 1930s photojournalism to the issue of authenticity in documentary photography, these thought-provoking essays examine how photographs influence collective memory, generate a sense …

Off-Runway Sights Might Be Just As Important, Loni Mckown

Loni McKown

Go figure. Besides Versus, Driver was at DKNY, BCBG Max Azria, Betsey Johnson and Halston (the black cherry gown she wore at the recent Academy Awards was from Halston Signature Collection by Randolph Duke - and she looked positively ravishing in it).

Loni McKown

Little did Hawkins know he'd end up at the New York women's fall collections, doing hair backstage for two hot fashion shows: languid up- do's at Marc Jacobs and braids at Anna Sui - and with a listing by name under "Special Thanks" in Sui's program.

We'd surreptitiously sneak through Mother's bureau drawers for silk hose and white kidskin gloves and sparkling costume jewelry or through Daddy's dresser for crisply ironed white handkerchiefs and shiny cufflinks and a Twist-O-Flex metal-band watch. Fur trim Another trend from days gone by, fur trim on collars and cuffs of coats and on jackets, on hems of dresses and skirts, and very chic trimming cashmere sweater sets.

Soured On Big Apple, Day Warmed Indy, Loni Mckown

[...] did those at the Damien Center, where Don originally went to get solace and ended up giving it himself to others in need. [...] there was his family of seamstresses, who started with him when he returned home in 1983 to ply the fashion trade from the Circle City after success and frustration designing in the Big Apple. The ground-floor, one-room space almost looked like something out of New York - draped fabrics to cover the huge floor-to-ceiling windows; draped fabrics over foam-filled couch cushions; fashion magazines on glass-topped coffee tables, and a loft for the workroom, so his …

[...] he chose a theatrical venue, the Manhattan Opera Center, and a colorful checkerboard backdrop with cut-out squares through which one could see backstage. [...] he created a clever show list (he calls fur rings "donuts," wide-legged pants "bags," and his slim-legged pants "sticks").

Knit-Witty Designs By Sui And Vass Offer Wearability, Loni Mckown

Loni McKown

Just as much fun was veteran Vass, who also showed a terrific collection: the multicolor tweed hand-knit coat with fox collar, gray ottoman drawstring trousers, multicolor tweed basket sweater and coordinating hand-knit hat; the claret cashmere hooded sweater with multi-herringbone long bias skirt; the taupe boucle hand-knit balaclava sweater, taupe zip-front skirt and brown boucle "christopher robin" hat. [...] speaking of those hats, they were as good as the clothes: the goldenrod hand-knit basket hat, the gray tweed pasha hat, the charcoal wave hat, the olive cloche hat, the star-shaped brown beret, the black tweed pulcinello hat.

Lots of roomy relaxed sweaters, coats and jackets played with narrow skirts and lean trousers, the body-conscious knitwear paired with more generous tubular pants and the new flared skirt. [...] with Kors, you can't have too much cashmere - whether double-face, felt or big knit ribs. Who else would embrace such a mix of rich colors and bold patterns and make it all work? A lot to chew on from Norma Kamali: A healthy mix of crunchy carrots, celery, broccoli and cauliflower keeps one in shape, just like Kamali at age 50.

Here's what you'll want to buy: at least one pair of voluminous twill "Harlow" pants, a knee-length slim tweed "executive" skirt with demure side slit, an ankle-length side-sliced crepe walking skirt, a ribbed merino turtleneck and matching ribbed sash, a mohair funnelneck, a melton short peacoat or long officer's coat, and maybe, just maybe, a shearling jacket in pale blonde, riper celadon or blooming iris. From the shearling "body warmers" (vests) to the mohair twill low-slung pants, from the tweed A-line skirts to the knit cap-sleeve dresses, from the quilted leather hooded coat to the white cotton stretch shirt and …

Newsworkers: Toward A History Of The Rank And File, Hanno Hardt, Bonnie Brennen

Bonnie Brennen

Focusing on the period from the 1850s through the 1930s, the contributors show how issues of labor and class have been far more important in the formation of media institutions than previous accounts concede. These essays recover the history of ethnic and cultural diversity-including the contributions of women-that have enriched the process of communication.
