Every year, this highly anticipated all-day pre-conference event provides members of the advertising division with effective tips for the classroom and this year the focus was on technology.

A Few Pointers From Veteran News Editors, Sue Burzynski Bullard Sep 2009

A Few Pointers From Veteran News Editors, Sue Burzynski Bullard

College of Journalism and Mass Communications: Faculty Publications

Copy editors should stick this reminder on their computer screens: Never assume, never be timid. Editing requires an aggressive approach to stories because the copy desk is the last line of defense against factual errors, bad grammar, libel and simply having the newspaper look stupid. Common rookie errors include making assumptions and being too timid, say copy desk chiefs and veteran editors.


Nebraska Has Lots To Offer; No Joke, Sue Burzynski Bullard Apr 2009

Nebraska Has Lots To Offer; No Joke, Sue Burzynski Bullard

College of Journalism and Mass Communications: Faculty Publications

Nebraska is sometimes a lot like Rodney Dangerfield: It gets no respect. It's a bum rap typically applied to the Midwest in general. And there it was from the first day I told family and friends I was moving to Nebraska.
"Why Nebraska," they asked.
The original short answer is to teach at a world-class university. But the longer I live here, the longer the answer gets.

Memorializing A Mountain Man: John G. Neihart, Doane Robinson, And Jedediah Smith, Timothy G. Anderson

College of Journalism and Mass Communications: Faculty Publications

In the middle of September 1908, a "sort [of] trampish looking fellow" called on Doane Robinson, secretary of the South Dakota State Historical Society and head of the state's Department of History. The visitor had just spent more than forty days on the Upper Missouri River, making his way in a small boat from Fort Benton, Montana, to Pierre, South Dakota. He had written Robinson a week earlier to warn him that he might not be looking his best. "You will not expect me to appear in evening dress," he told Robinson. "Yesterday I saw a mirror -- it made …


Michigan Must Be Bold To Stop National Jokes, Sue Burzynski Bullard Mar 2009

Michigan Must Be Bold To Stop National Jokes, Sue Burzynski Bullard

College of Journalism and Mass Communications: Faculty Publications

If absence makes the heart grow fonder, it also makes it grow more observant. A Michiganian most of my life, I am proud to be from the Great Lakes state. Now living in Nebmka, I Google Michigan news to keep up. The state's downside is covered in grim depth. It's news, sure. But the sour image is not tempered with much good news. Even more travel stories would suggest more to Michigan than unemployment.

Promoting Consumerism In West Germany During The Cold War: An Agency Perspective, Frauke Hachtmann

College of Journalism and Mass Communications: Faculty Publications

This historical study attempts to explore how advertising, from the perspective of the J. Walter Thompson (JWT) Agency, contributed to the development of consumerism in West Germany during the Cold War (roughly the early 1950s until the late 1980s). The article describes how West Germany rebuilt its economy and eventually developed into the largest exporting country in the world. It also illustrates how advertising as an institution contributed to a functioning consumer society and chronicles the agency’s development in the U.S. and expansion to Germany. Finally, it explores the agency’s insights into consumer behavior in West Germany during the Cold …
