Par Douglas A. Wissing. 2015
“Quirky, well-crafted essays” by an award-winning journalist about his home state of Indiana, filled with characters famous, notorious, and unknown…
(Indianapolis Star).Fueled by an insider’s view of Indiana and the state’s often surprising connections to the larger world, IN Writing is revelatory. It is Indiana in all its glory: sacred and profane; saints and sinners; war and peace; small towns and big cities; art, architecture, poetry and victuals. It’s about Hoosier talent and Hoosier genius: the courageous farmer-soldiers who ardently try to win the hearts and minds of twenty-first century Afghan insurgents; the artisans whose work pulses with the aesthetics of faraway homelands; and the famous modernist poet who had to leave to make his mark. It’s about places that speak to a wider world: Columbus and its remarkable architecture; New Harmony and its enduring idealism; Indianapolis and its world-renowned Crown Hill cemetery. IN Writing makes visible the unexpected bonds between Indiana and the world at large.Breathing the Fire: Fighting to Survive, and Get Back to the Fight
Par Kimberly Dozier. 2008
&“A harrowing tale of courage, survival, determination, fellowship and the high price of covering a war . . . a master storyteller and…
one tough journalist.&” —Tom BrokawCBS Foreign Correspondent Kimberly Dozier shares her compelling story from being injured in Iraq to her recovery . . . shedding light on the ordeal faced by countless combat veterans and civilians. In a flash, Kimberly Dozier&’s life changed. As an award-winning CBS News reporter, Dozier had devoted her career to being in the right place at the right time to capture the story. Suddenly, in the wrong place at the worst time, she became the story, as a deadly explosion tore through her team and the troops they were following, and a word spread worldwide. That Memorial Day in 2006, a routine mission ended with Dozier in a pool of blood on a Baghdad street, a victim of a car bomb that killed her team, cameraman Paul Douglas and soundman James Brolan, as well as U.S. Army Captain James Alex Funkhouser and his translator. Critically injured, Dozier woke to find herself fighting first for survival, then for recovery, and finally to return to the field. Breathing the Fire tracks one woman&’s relentless determination to get the story, to get it right, and to get well again after everything went wrong. The paperback was produced at the request of hospital caregivers, who find the book helps trauma patients and the families supporting them. The author&’s profits go to wounded warrior charities.&“A rare, personal view—with all the attention to detail a great reporter brings to bear—into an experience shared by thousands of wounded Iraq veterans.&” —Dan RatherHow to Write a Story: (read-aloud Book, Learn To Read And Write)

Par Diego Granja do Amaral, A. Chukwudumebi Obute. 2023
This book undertakes an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural interrogation of the Global South through the prisms of media and cultural studies. …
It closely explores the quotidian (re)territorialization, and brazen ruination of the material geographies of this vast expanse of the world by forces and proxies of (neo)colonialism and global capitalism of resource extraction. We cite the ongoing expulsion of Palestinians from their homelands by occupational forces, the emerging detritus dump across Mexico City and Lagos, the infrastructural precariousness of the favelas of Brazil, the unending resource-war in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and the flagrant operation of the oil industry in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria as examples of this geographic cataclysm. The centripetal forces of neo-colonialism and resource extraction at full-flight in the Global South, aided by toxic hegemonic forces, have overtly tossed some of the population to the peripheries of existence and the society at large. As such, this book, additionally, explores the resistance of the subalterns from the margins to this socio-political malaise, and further unmasks the knowledge production from these margins of the Global South. This project is divided into five (5) parts of three essays each. The first part examines the territorial contestation in the Middle East framed and expressed through films and literary lenses. The second part examines the environmental burden of modern consumerism and urbanization on metropolis across Mexico, Brazil, and Nigeria, while the third part explores the attritional violence of resource extraction in the DRC, Brazil, and Nigeria via filmic and journalistic lenses. The fourth part offers a swift response from the margins through ethnographic and journalistic interrogation of the subjectivity of the subalterns of Brazilian favelas, and street artists. The fifth part offers an engaging critique of the political climates of South Africa and Brazil that reinforce the environmental catastrophe of the regions of the world.Specialist Journalism
Par Barry Turner, Richard Orange. 2012
Combining practical 'how to' skills with reflection on the place of each specialism in the industry, this guide features the…
skills needed to cover specialist areas, including writing match reports for sport, reviewing the arts, and dealing with complex information for science. The book will also discuss how specialist journalists have contributed to the mainstream news agenda, as well as analysing how different issues have been covered in each specialism, such as the credit crunch, global warming, national crime statistics and the celebrity culture in sport. Areas covered include: Sport Business Politics Crime Environment Fashion Food Music Media Science Health Law Travel War WineGrammar Systems: A Grammatical Approach to Distribution and Cooperation
Par Jozef Kelemen, Gheorghe Paun, Erzsebet Csuhaj-Varju, Jurgen Dassow. 1994
First Published in 1994. The central problem of the “classic” formal language theory concerns the generation (the recognition) of languages…
by grammars (automata, respectively). However, in present day computer science, in artificial intelligence, in cognitive psychology and in other related fields we have to deal more and more with complex tasks distributed among a set of “ processors” , which are working together in a well defined way. Parallel computers, computer nets, distributed data bases and knowledge sources are practical materializations of this idea. Similarly, the psychologists speak about the modularity of mind, in problem solving theories there appear many models based on cognitive agents’ cooperation. As the formal language theory is involved in most of these circumstances (for example, as a theoretical framework, well developed from a mathematical point of view, for modelling aspects whose essence can be captured at the level of symbol systems, of the syntax of collections of strings of abstract symbols), a clear challenge appears for it: to consider systems o f grammars/automata, working together for generating/recognizing a language. In this context, notions such as distribution, cooperation, communication, concurrency, synchronization, parallelism etc. should be formalized and enlightened. The present monograph is an attempt to answer this challenge.Richmond Independent Press: A History of the Underground Zine Scene
Par Dale M Brumfield. 2013
An acclaimed local author recounts the evolution of Richmond&’s alternative newspapers, comics, and small presses beginning in the Civil Rights…
Era. As the political and social upheaval of the 1960s took hold across the United States, even the sleepy town of Richmond, Virginia, experienced a countercultural shift. New attitudes about the value of journalism spurred an underground movement in the press. &“The Sunflower,&” Richmond&’s first underground newspaper, appeared in 1967 and set the stage for a host of alternative local media lasting into the 1990s and beyond. Publications such as the &“Richmond Chronicle,&” &“Richmond Mercury,&” and &“Commonwealth Times,&” as well as numerous minority-focused presses such as &“Richmond Afro-American,&” served the progressive-minded citizens of the River City. In Richmond Independent Press, the historian, activist and former &“ThroTTle&” editor Dale Brumfield reveals the untold story of this cultural revolution in the River City.Bad Tidings: Communication and Catastrophe (Routledge Communication Series)
Par Lee Wilkins, Lynne Masel Walters, Tim Walters. 1993
First Published in 1993. In the 1970s, a book collecting research about the mass media and their role in disasters…
would have been unimaginable. This book, then, is an attempt to compile a somewhat eclectic view of research on mass communication and catastrophe. The editors have attempted to provide a sampling of the most recent empirical work on the mass media and disasters, including everything from content analysis of media reports to studies of audience response to those events.Tales from the National Press Club
Par Gil Klein. 2020
A behind-the-scenes history of the organization behind the White House Correspondents&’ Dinner—and the news-breakers and newsmakers who&’ve been part of…
it. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, the National Press Club has been the hub of Washington journalism. Started by reporters as a watering hole for late-night card games, the Club soon attracted not only icons from Edward R. Murrow to Bob Woodward to Helen Thomas, but every US president from Theodore Roosevelt onward, and various newsmakers who shaped American and world history. While adapting to changes in the news media, it continues to stand for the values of journalism and press freedom in the twenty-first century. Now journalist and longtime member Gil Klein tells just a few of the tales that stand out in the history of the Club, which CBS commentator Eric Sevareid once called &“the only hallowed place I know of that&’s absolutely bursting with irreverence.&”Peace Journalism Principles and Practices: Responsibly Reporting Conflicts, Reconciliation, and Solutions
Par Steven Youngblood. 2017
Long-time peace journalist Steven Youngblood presents the foundations of peace journalism in this exciting new textbook, offering readers the methods,…
approaches, and concepts required to use journalism as a tool for peace, reconciliation, and development. Guidance is offered on framing stories, ethical treatment of sensitive subjects, and avoiding polarizing stereotypes through a range of international examples and case studies spanning from the Iraq war to the recent unrest in Ferguson, Missouri. Youngblood teaches students to interrogate traditional media narratives about crime, race, politics, immigration, and civil unrest, and to illustrate where—and how—a peace journalism approach can lead to more responsible and constructive coverage, and even assist in the peace process itself.This study, first published in 1990, presents a comprehensive description of the comparative constructions of Spanish and French, and shows…
that the apparently numerous differences in their syntactic realisations can be accounted for by general constraints on the expression of comparison. There is also a discussion of parallel constructions in other Romance languages, showing that these languages display a range of constructions equally compatible with the suggested pattern of possibilities resulting from the general constraints proposed. This title will be of interest to students of language and linguistics.Web Radio: Radio Production for Internet Streaming

Par Philip L. Hubbard. 1985
This work, first published in 1985, is an analysis of the syntax of the Albanian verb complex. The term "verb…
complex" is defined here as the verb stem and its conjugational endings, together with the perfect auxiliaries and verb clitics. In a wider sense the verb includes the verb and its central arguments: subject, direct object, and indirect object. The analysis is presented in a somewhat expanded version of the relational grammar framework of Perlmutter and Postal (1977). It is argued that by assuming the existence of multiple levels in the syntactic structure of a clause, it is possible to account for the distribution of active and non-active verb forms over the various constructions of Albanian with a single generalisation. This title will be of interest to students of language and linguistics.The Syntax and Semantics of Wh-Constructions (Routledge Library Editions: Syntax #10)
Par Paul Hirschbuhler. 1985
This title, first published in 1985, provides a detailed analysis of aspects of the semantics and the syntax of some…
wh-constructions. The first part of the book deals with the semantics of questions, whilst the other part discusses the syntax of que and quoi (what) in questions in French and the syntax of free relatives in French and other languages. This title will be of interest to students of language and linguistics.Studies in the Syntax of Relative and Comparative Causes (Routledge Library Editions: Syntax #2)
Par Avery D. Andrews III. 1985
This title, first published in 1985, is an investigation of certain aspects of the syntax of relative and comparative clauses.…
The author provides a typological survey of relative clauses in the languages of the world which serves both to convey a general impression of what relative clauses are like in the languages of the world, and to establish certain phenomena that are of theoretical import. The author also examines comparative clauses, and integrates the material given with that presented for relatives. This title will be of interest to students of language and linguistics.The Shortest Distance Between You and a Published Book
