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

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. …

The Sharper Image: Bringing Irish Nationalist Identity Into Focus, 1880-1923, Meghan M. Ferriter

History Theses & Dissertations

From 1880 to 1923, Irish nationalists created and sustained an independent cultural identity shaped by external and internal forces. British political cartoons reveal key external cultural perceptions of the Irish, while Irish nationalist writings endorse internal concepts of character and project political aims. Irish nationalists present an uninterrupted internal identity in pursuit of autonomy. Images published in Punch, or the London Charivari, provide external factors of identity that evolve from exaggerated threat to trivial concern while the nationalist political demands they represent escalate.

Identity is the product of complex interaction and compromise between external and internal definitions. Individuals …

Annika Sorenstam, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

There is a philosophical puzzle that poses the question, if a tree falls in the forest and there is no one there to hear it, does it make a noise? Although it is not quite the same thing, that line did come to mind last weekend as Annika Sorenstam waltzed to victory in the second major of the year. In fact, Sorenstam has been waltzing all over everybody, everything, and everywhere in the last few years on the LPGA tour. Over the past few months, she has been torrid, and last weekend she moved halfway towards her goal of winning …

Bud Selig's Bad Faith, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

I would like to reflect a bit on the dis-ingenuousness of one Allen H. "Bud" Selig, Commissioner of Baseball and Supreme Potentate of Dissemblers. Having accrued most of the power in baseball unto himself over the past several years, "Bud" has shown, at times, some insight and leadership only ultimately to disappoint.

In Memory Of George Mikan, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

He made the number 99 on his jersey famous decades before Wayne Gretzky wore it on his hockey sweater. George Mikan, the 6'10" center of the Minneapolis Lakers died on Thursday at the age of 80. He was the first big man in professional basketball, the first in college basketball, and he was a key reason the NBA succeeded when other leagues had failed. Leonard Koppett in his history of the NBA called the first eight years of league existence the "The Mikan Era." That is certainly how I remember those years as a boy in Minneapolis.

The Death Of Pat Tillman, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Over the past few weeks, the world of sport has been touched by the world of politics in a number of ways. Politics and sport are often mixed and when they are, the results can be at once unfortunate, distressing, and sometimes appalling. Certainly, the House of Representatives' hearings on steroids come to mind in this context.

Changes For Manchester United, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

There is nothing more delightful for an American of a certain perverse persuasion than to watch the Brits get their knickers all twisted up over something as silly as the sale of Manchester United to some little billionaire twit from the dismal swamps of Florida. It has been a wonderful several weeks to watch the spectacle of hysteria over such a trivial matter as this.

The Contingency Theory Of Accommodation In Public Relations And Its Applicability To The Telecommunication Sector In Egypt, Rania H El Bakry

Archived Theses and Dissertations

Public relations continues to be one of the most difficult to define fields. Many strides have been made in the development of public relations theory in an effort to provide some guidelines for practitioners of the field. Among the field's most prominent theories is the two-way symmetrical communication model. The model was deemed the most ideal and normative theory for practicing public relations. The contingency theory of accommodation proposes an effective and ethical alternative to the two-way symmetrical model of communication.

The telecommunication sector in Egypt is among the country's most dynamic fields and boasts some of the most active …

A Vintage Derby Day Column From 2001, Richard C. Crepeau

This column was originally published in 2001. A friend who is Louisville born and bred and has lived in Florida for nearly 30 years, about as long as I have, sent me this e-mail less than an hour before this year's Kentucky Derby.
