Modern Elements In The Graphic Arts, Carroll Arimond

Bachelors’ Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to define and illustrate what is meant by the word "modernism" as applied to art, and how it has evidenced itself in the graphic arts - namely, printing, lithography, and the other applied arts which appeal to the sense of sight.

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 History Of American Dramatic Criticism, Philip W. Behling

Bachelors’ Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to dev­elop a historical background for the craft of the modern dramatic critic. Since no one is more criticized than the critic it is only just that his place in literature be establish­ed and his rights enforced.

The gradual development of theatrical criticism in America has been an interesting succession of problems and difficulties. Yet under these circumstances the newspaper has suc­cessfully maintained its independent attitude and today the theatrical page has become a popular feature in every paper.

Thus in this thesis the chief purpose is to summarize the history of criticism while …

Bibliography For Journalism Students, Margaret Fitzgerald

Bachelors’ Theses

It is a lamentable fact that, in the past, very few people have seen fit to make a bibliography of journalistic material for reference for journalism students, newspaper workers, and others who have made or intend to make writing a vocation. The need of such a bibliography is evident. Practically all other fields of endeavor have at their disposal unlimited material with which to work. In journalism, as much as in any other work, it is essential to have a fund of references on hand which are easily available at all times. It is for this reason that I have …

The Decrease Of Population In Towns And Its Effect On The Country Weekly, Cyril B. Hegy

Bachelors’ Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to find out what effect the decrease of population in towns has had on the newspapers in them and to compare this effect with the other reasons advanced for the numerical decline of the country weekly.

The size of the town taken for this investigation was set between 5,000 and 1,000 population. The maximum was taken as 5, 000, in spite of the fact that the U.S. census considers over 2,500 population as urban, as being more rural from the viewpoint of newspapers. Towns under 1,000 population were omitted as no figures for these …

Case Studies In Special Anniversary Editions Of Weekly Newspapers, Harry Horgan

Bachelors’ Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to show whether or not special editions, and especially anniversary editions of weekly newspapers, are a profitable venture for publishers. This will be gone about by taking each paper and pointing out in it the advertising that was secured merely for this one edition. Besides this the regular advertising that was increased for this issue will be pointed out. With the amount of extra advertising known, conclusions will be drawn as to which of these special editions were profitable and how much advertising is needed to make them so.

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 …
