From the viewpoint of newspaper organizations the main competitive media has shrunk to only one, the internet. But the effect of this innovation has been devastating in capturing the vast majority of the advertising revenues on which newspapers have depended. The larger the internet-based media became the more newspapers and other media shrank. Pairing an academic and former industry news manager, this textbook assesses the situation in which the regional news media industry finds itself, and explores methods, processes and techniques, which might usefully be introduced to help the news media firm secure a viable future. In focusing on newspapers, magazines, TV and radio, the work is filled with real-life examples and interviews with news media managers, illustrating how management is being conducted in this age of turbulence. The goal is to give students practice in solving complex strategic problems and to provide them with a series of intellectual and professional exercises. Their method of using case studies will enable students to explore in detail key theoretical issues before applying them to real life management settings.

In the 2000 presidential election, the then Gov. George W. Bush ran as the candidate of 'honesty', 'integrity', 'truth' and 'character.' That was his claim and his supporters' claim. After he won the Republican primary by defeating Sen. John McCain, he and his supporters essentially characterized his Democratic opponent, former vice president Al Gore as a 'liar' and an 'untrustworthy' individual. That characterization stuck and Gore never fought back vigorously against those charges. It was not only after Mr. Gore conceded the election (many thought he won), that his former opponent and many of his supporters saw Gore differently as 'honorable' and 'gracious.' Some actually called him "a goo...

Immersed in the legal and human drama unfolding in Houston in the days leading up to an impending execution, the intimate linkage of love and death learned from Rilke aid him in his efforts to confront his country's sanction of lethal violence and make spiritual sense of his torn, too often black-and-white world. “Poetry matters and this book shows us why. The astonishing range of Rue Rilke—a travel diary, a meditation o...
