An Introduction To The Study And Interpretation Of The Incomes Of Selected Weekly Newspapers In Wisconsin, J. Gerald Purtell, William J. Liermann

Bachelors’ Theses

The publishing of a weekly newspaper is generally considered to be a profitable enterprise. However, like any other business it has its examples of outstanding financial successes and dismal failures. In such instances there are many factors which have determined the fate of the papers. Ignoring the editorial policies entirely, the purpose of this thesis will be to determine as far as possible the reasons for the financial destiny of the weekly from a business standpoint.

Newspaper Gag Laws, Robert J. Goetz

Bachelors’ Theses

It is almost Inevitable that a writer should be forced to use as much vigilance and care in the exclusion of extraneous matter as he does in the corralling and presentation of facts, relevant and necessary to the proper exposition of his topic. Libel, the right of privacy, and freedom of the press are all but inextricably woven with the subject of Newspaper Gag Laws; yet to swerve excessively from a restricted outline would in all probability be seriously detrimental, if not wholly disastrous, to the task at hand. The writer believes that no amount of personal criticism would favorably …

The Influence Of Business Upon Country Newspapers, Robert J. Burt

Bachelors’ Theses

This thesis is intended to point out the effect which business conditions have exerted upon the typical country weekly newspaper.in point of editorial policy, treatment of the news, and the handling of advertising. Particular emphasis is laid on the effects of the current business depression, although some of the practices enumerated are undoubtedly of long standing and have no direct connection with present conditions.

Although some of the points to be discussed are to be classified among the faults of newspapers, this is not intended as a wholesale condemnation of the country news­ paper. In editorial optimism and overdisplay of …

The Milwaukee Edition Of The Chicago Tribune, Robert C. Lablonde

This thesis will outline the progress of the Milwaukee edition of the Chicago Tribune from the time it started in September, 1929, to the present writing.

Selected Case Studies In The Right Of Privacy, Cedric J. Voglewede

Bachelors’ Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to discover how far and in what particular way the right of privacy of an individual is recognized by law, in decisions, common law and statute.

This is done with a view to finding the principles upon which the right of privacy is now based, so that a proper interpretation of the present situation will result in a better understanding of the rules which must be considered by newspapers and other publications in regard to this right of the individual, and to estimate the probable course of the development of the law pertaining to …

Publicity Regarding Family Welfare Societies, Edgar A. Thompson

Bachelors’ Theses

This thesis, presenting a resume of publicity granted welfare organizations by Milwaukee newspapers, over a period extending from 1928 to 1931, is intended to indicate the method in which social news, welfare appeals, and activities notes are handled. Especially during the present economic depression, the need for this type of news is urgent. The public must be constantly stimulated to assist the charities, and consequently the newspapers are used for what is generally considered the best medium to present the appeals. In the publication of these requests, different newspapers handle the material in different forms. The same notice is changed …

The Teaching Of Current Events, Muriel M. Shallow

Bachelors’ Theses

For more than a quarter of a century current-events has been taught successfully and with good results, in connection with other subjects; but as a separate subject it failed to get recognition for its true worth. It has proved popular to both teachers and students but has received little scientific investigation and encouragement at the hands of curriculum-builders and reorganizers. Theorists who have tried to work with it find it baffling for it is a difficult subject to classify. From year to year its content differs and it is everlastingly encroaching upon and overlapping various subjects. This makes it very …

Increased Use Of Foreign News In American Newspapers In The Present Century, James J. Strebig

Bachelors’ Theses

This thesis sets out to show that due to certain circumstances, certain turns of events affecting the nation politically and economically and through the manner of handling foreign news by American editors, there has grown up in the United States during the last quarter of a century a distinct demand for foreign news; that this demand was created by events which were in their nature sufficient to cause world-wide interest, that the demand was made continuous and larger by the methods of American editors. Its main theme is to be found in the increased amount of foreign news printed in …
