This is the first in-depth look at the development of the
television newscast, the most popular source of news for over
forty-five years. During the 1940s, most journalists ignored or
dismissed television, leaving the challenge to a small group of
people working above New York City's Grand Central Terminal.
Without the pressures of ratings, sponsors, company oversight, or
many viewers, the group refused to recreate newspapers, radio, or
newsreels on the new medium. They experimented, argued, tested, and
eventually settled on a format to exploit television's strengths.
This book documents that process, challenging common myths -
including the importance of a popular anchor, and television's
inability to communicate non-visual stories - and crediting those
whose work was critical in the formation of television as a news
format, and illustrating the pressures and professional roadblocks
facing those who dare question journalistic traditions of any era.
A trustworthy repository provides assurance in the form of
management documents, event logs, and audit trails that digital
objects are being managed correctly. The assurance includes plans
for the sustainability of the repository, the accession of digital
records, the management of technology evolution, and the mitigation
of the risk of data loss. A detailed assessment is provided by the
ISO-16363:2012 standard, "Space data and information transfer
systems-Audit and certification of trustworthy digital
repositories." This book examines whether the ISO specification for
trustworthiness can be enforced by computer actionable policies. An
implementation of the policies is provided and the policies are
sorted into categories for procedures to manage externally
generated documents, specify repository parameters, specify
preservation metadata attributes, specify audit mechanisms for all
preservation actions, specify control of preservation operations,
and control preservation properties as technology evolves. An
application of the resulting procedures is made to enforce
trustworthiness within National Science Foundation data management
plans.
In 1962, an innovative documentary on a Berlin Wall tunnel escape
brought condemnation from both sides of the Iron Curtain during one
of the most volatile periods of the Cold War. The Tunnel, produced
by NBC's Reuven Frank, clocked in at ninety minutes and prompted a
range of strong reactions. While the television industry ultimately
awarded the program three Emmys, the U.S. Department of State
pressured NBC to cancel the program, and print journalists
criticized the network for what they considered to be a blatant
disregard of journalistic ethics.It was not just The Tunnel's
Subject matter that sparked controversy, but the medium itself. The
surprisingly fast ascendance of television news as the country's
top choice for information threatened the self-defined supremacy of
print journalism and the de facto cooperation of government
officials and reporters on Cold War issues. In Contested Ground,
Mike Conway argues that the Production and reception of television
news and documentaries during this period reveals a major upheaval
in American news communications.
