Tragedies Call For Time To Put Life In Balance, Carla Kimbrough
College of Journalism and Mass Communications: Faculty Publications
Today your life could change dramatically.
• Your spouse or significant other decides life without you is better than life with you.
• Your child, your parent or perhaps even you discover a terminal illness has invaded your body.
• You lose your job where you've worked a minimum of 50 hours per week for the last five, 10. 15 or 20 years.
• You lose everything that is precious to you: your home, your possessions, your mementos. All you have left are your life and the clothes on your back.
Chances are any of the above scenarios would rock …
Generation X And Generation Golf: What Advertisers Need To Know When Targeting German And American Thirty-Somethings, Frauke Hachtmann
Generation X And Generation Golf: What Advertisers Need To Know When Targeting German And American Thirty-Somethings, Frauke Hachtmann
College of Journalism and Mass Communications: Faculty Talks, Speeches, and Presentations
While most of the academic research currently focuses on defining and analyzing Generation Y, trade publications in the advertising and media field are publishing more and more articles about Generation X, primarily because this segment has been extremely difficult to reach for advertisers (Overington, 2005). American companies have conducted business in Germany for many years (and vice versa) and need to understand the next generation that is going to drive global business in a new system that replaced the Cold War and reveals the interdependence of economies: globalization. The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast what is …
Overexposed: Issues Of Public Gender Imaging, Pamela K. Morris
Overexposed: Issues Of Public Gender Imaging, Pamela K. Morris
College of Journalism and Mass Communications: Faculty Publications
Make no mistake—it is popularity that makes pop culture important. And it is the powerful visual imagery of advertisements that helps define the largely artificial construction we call gender. Sex-role stereotyping and gender representations are typically studied in content analyses of television and magazine advertisements. Less common are investigations into outdoor advertising, a medium that is ubiquitous and the most democratic—everyone has equal access to visuals. This essay calls attention to and offers insights on advertisements in our outdoor visual space, focusing on gender representations. Capturing and analyzing these ephemeral images can show how they influence how we feel, think, …

You may never desire to be a manager, but you still have to manage. Your perspective changes depending on where you sit in the organizational chart. If you're in the lower part of the organizational chart, you may think you have to manage only yourself. If you're in the middle of the chart, you know the tug of war of managing down, across and up. If you're at the top, you know the challenge of managing down.
In truth, wherever you are in the chart, managing yourself, peers and the boss is required.
Are Advanced Degrees Worth The Time And Effort?, Carla Kimbrough
Are Advanced Degrees Worth The Time And Effort?, Carla Kimbrough
College of Journalism and Mass Communications: Faculty Publications
We’ve read it all before. The more you learn, the more you earn.
High school graduates earn more than those who drop out of school. College grads have higher salaries than those who have only a high school education. Those with graduate degrees often out earn those with a bachelor's degree. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule.
The question of graduate degrees often comes up in our industry. When I've spoken with journalists who are pondering graduate .school, I ask about their motivation. What do you want the outcome to be? What do you think a graduate degree …
Three Steps To Landing Your First Journalism Job, Carla Kimbrough
Three Steps To Landing Your First Journalism Job, Carla Kimbrough
College of Journalism and Mass Communications: Faculty Publications
Four. Five. Maybe even Six. The number of years it took to earn your ticket to the big time.
You've donned your cap and gown and celebrated. Now, it's time to take life more seriously. Your parents warn you that soon you will be responsible for your own livelihood. Student (loan lenders remind you that you have only six months before you'll pay the piper.
You decide it's best to start applying for jobs. You apply to the places you've always wanted to live or the papers you read about during school. You hear nothing, or at least nothing encouraging. …
Good Mental Health Key To Success In Traumatic Job, Carla Kimbrough
Good Mental Health Key To Success In Traumatic Job, Carla Kimbrough
College of Journalism and Mass Communications: Faculty Publications
Sometimes what we do is no fun. We cover devastation, the horrors of war and tragedy simply because we must. We record history. We tell the stories of life and of death. As journalists, that's what we are called to do.
In this rough and tumble world, we are charged with being ready for anything. The wise among us carry a change of clothes in our trunks, a passport in our top drawer and a can-do spirit in our souls. We are journalists.

‘Omaha Blues’ Recalls Lost Childhood, Timothy G. Anderson
College of Journalism and Mass Communications: Faculty Publications
In 1997, I walked into Joe Lelyveld’s office and handed him a newspaper clipping about his parents. Lelyveld was executive editor of the New York Times, and I was one of his nearly 1,100 news department employees. The clipping, from a World-Herald column, noted that the Lelyvelds had once lived in Omaha; that Arthur, Joe’s father, had been rabbi at Temple Israel in the early 1940s; that his mother, Toby, had taught at the University of Omaha; and that the Lelyvelds had divorced in 1964. The news was that Toby had died in New York at age 85. If I …

Be Smart About Making Your Resolutions Stick, Carla Kimbrough
College of Journalism and Mass Communications: Faculty Publications
It's the new year, and you might have resolved to change some things in 2005. By March, you may have given up on the whole thing. Just like every other year.
Why is that we always start off with the best of intentions, but .soon forget our resolve? The truth is, we're not very SMART about setting goals. This column aims to change that.
First, let's define "goal." You may have beard a goal is a dream with a deadline. I define goals as "golden opportunities at living sensationally." A goal is simply a lost opportunity if you don't pursue …

This year [2005] marks the 40th anniversary of the publication of Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood, considered one of the 20th century’s great works of literature. It also was among the first books in which the reporting techniques of journalism were assembled with the flair of traditional fiction writing.
The book is set in the community of Holcomb in 1959, when four members of a prominent farming family were killed in a fruitless robbery. Herbert and Bonnie Clutter and their children Nancy, 16, and Kenyon, 15, were shot by Perry Smith and Richard Hickock. The book details the crime, …
