Death Of A Salesman

In the many years since the performance and publication of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, one central question has haunted literary critics and students and keeps recurring in any discussion of the play: is it or is it not a tragedy? The question of the tragic and genre definition in relation to Death of a Salesman followed the publication of Miller's essay "Tragedy and the Common Man" in The New York Times (February 27, 1949), only two weeks after the opening of the play.

The Great War

This chapter recounts the many legends surrounding former general Erich Ludendorff following his death. Headline after headline praised the Feldherr of the Great War. The chapter discusses the stories of Liège and Tannenberg in some detail and the coverage of his dismissal as the first quartermaster general in 1918, which reinforced the “stab in the back” legend that Ludendorff had originated. It explores his connection with Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (NSDAP), as well as Ludendorff’s historical significance. The chapter also analyses the coverage of foreign papers, such as The Manchester Guardian, The Times, The New York Times, the Paris Journal and Italian papers following Ludendorff’s death and the Feldherr’s willpower and energy at all stages of his life. Ultimately, the chapter assesses the impact of Ludendorff’s demise on the surviving members of the House of Ludendorff.

A DISCUSSION at the Vancouver Film Festival 1995 Among the many discussions taking place during the Trade Forum at Vancouver's International Film Festival was a rapt and lively presentation of how Broadcasters Support Filmmakers. The principal speaker was David Aukin of Channel Four who was introduced by Wayne Skeene, President of Skeene Communications in Vancouver. WS: David Aukin is a Commissioning Editor and Head of Drama for Channel 4, that "idiosyncratic little company" as Variety puts it, "that defies all the rules of Hollywood." The New York Times calls David "arguably the most influential figure in the British film industry." The Daily Telegraph calls him "The Sun King of the Silver Screen" and there's more: "The mastermind behind the largest filmmaking budget in Britain." David studied law at Oxford, worked for a period as a solicitor, made a career change to theatre in 1970 when he...

Este artigo objetiva analisar a relação entre o Brasil e a violência retratada pelo website do jornal The New York Times, tendo como contexto os jogos da Rio 2016. Considerando a questão da violência como um estereótipo frequentemente relacionado ao Brasil pelo imaginário estrangeiro. Enquanto metodologia foi adotada a análise de conteúdo com base nos conceitos de Laurence Bardin, que guiaram para a conclusão de que a publicação de Nova Iorque ao invés de trazer novos conceitos que alterassem a genérica visão estrangeira sobre o país reforçou o velho estereótipo de um Brasil violento.Palavras-chave: Brasil.

Editing Process

The New York Times “streamlined” its editing process in 2017 and reduced the editing staff by nearly half. Through content analysis on corrections (N = 1,149), this research examines the effects of these cuts. Analysis revealed the Times published more corrections before the changes, but that corrections appeared more quickly after the original error occurred and there were more corrections for content in the A section following the staffing cuts. The A section includes national and international news and thus often contains political content, which is rife for heightened scrutiny in an age of media distrust. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed.

American Media

Media representations have significant power to shape opinions and influence public response to communities or groups around the world. This study investigates media representations of Islam and Muslims in the American media, drawing upon an analysis of reports in the New York Times over a 17-year period (from Jan.1, 2000 to Dec. 31, 2016) within the framework of Critical Discourse Analysis. It examines how Islam and Muslims are represented in media coverage and how discursive power is penetrated step by step through such media representations. Most important, it investigates whether Islam and Muslims have been stigmatized through stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination. The findings reveal that the New York Times’ representations of Islam and Muslims are negative and stereotypical: Islam is stereotyped as the unacclimatized outsider and the turmoil maker and Muslims as the negative receiver. The stereotypes contribute to people’s prejudice, such as Islamophobia from the “us” group and fear of the “them” group but do not support a strong conclusion of discrimination.
