Really like and once you survive it abolish to the rest of your life and for me it has followed for the good. I look at life differently. I just came back from cuba on a fulbright insight into word tuesday with the citizens are like and i understood what they went through with the revolution with castro and the cuban missile crisis and bay of pigs in they have survived i think that comes from surviving a situation like that that you have no control over that guides you through life. Here is the cover of the book. Vietname rough riders a convoy commanders memoir by frank mcadams. Host introducing you to professor spokesman. I teach journalism communication the best in the country. Host what have you done . The man primarily a journalist i worked at Cbs Television with my documentarys but they had no broadcasting secrets. Host how has the broadcast world changed in how you teach it . We have to teach multimedia text and audio and video we dont even call the broadcasting anymore but it is still alive and well but it is storytelling using those why havent changed the way that i teach but i am a big believer in preproduction that you to do good preproduction. Host we invited you to talk about your book heroes and scoundrels the image of the journalist in Popular Culture who is so we barnes . To make you give me a tough questions. [laughter] a reporter who will do anything for a story. But that american version, a fantastic. The reporter in the original has a fantastic portrayal much better than the american version. host the you and have included her in heroes and scoundrels. What is the point . To make to explore journalism and Popular Culture. To think that television is even more important to influence as well as other aspects of Popular Culture in with television they bar that major image house of cards is a very Popular Series so that images of the journalist is her. She sleeps with her source isnt who does that . She only cares about this story to get her name out there but we fenland to be a hero you have to serve the Public Interest you can steal and a cheat and murder someone but if you solve a crime could to public good day you are a hero. But or if you do anything for gained in your a scoundrel. In a democracy were only as good is the information you get hard to make decisions without the information . If you dont trust the people or the journalist then how can you make decisions that if you dont believe ben those heroic images then we stopped believing then we cannot make intelligent decisions. Host you read about Popular Culture you worked at cbs during the day and cronkite was the most trusted man in america of the last six much rather Brian Williams situation. Prior to the 21st century mostly Popular Culture is filled believe the journalists have come out of hiding pretty much appear on fox news is a also create the image that we have. People had very strong opinions but where do they get them . They visit the newsroom or broadcast radio or onto the internet news so where do they get the image . Grossi from fiction or television or novels were videogames. Lately also from the tv they have been watching. That is a shame that helps to condition them. Brian williams was a hero like Walter Cronkite did we find out he is lying about his life. That disturbs the public. Win. Host how have journalists been portrayed . Since the same but talk about the agent greek journalist with historians historians, you find the intended is the we dont trust i sent them back to the 1929 film which is the most horrible and terrific scene and you could imagine the final scene is a newspaper in the debtor and it is said tabloid i have found if but if if reporter never worn number three says they keep shoving fair carry and microphone into your face and acting horribly so the anonymous journalist is very indicative. Fiesta and that is the image they initially manchin. Scenic is an old film i teach 76 for how many years ago and it got a lot of people interested. But generally. Host how accurate are some of the portrayals but those underwritten by a former journalist and civic all of those probably did happen so with the accuracy is queued but the prc is wonderful. Maturing d. H. Lawrence and year run but too much happens and the rise. Otherwise but theyre portrayed that way. Host how does William Randolph hearst the trade . To neck many movies were made on him. I think of citizen kane that every thought was his life but and theyre all pretty negative. Actually the publisher is the great villain of and then to talk about publishers back in the face and the forays. But the publisher is hate them all. The image of the fairly low dash justice is that rehashing the but 90 percent theres drone and sometimes it was the womb of permitted but then to accommodate the theyre willing to look at a woman who was in love with the man and would give up their career because that is why there are expected to do. So strong independent women for moose jaw shaken still be for icn feisty and independent. But work force by its are generally heroic but with the exception consider the best journalists you can find. War correspondents do terrible things but talk about gi joe and the correspondence. What happens is there are certain shows like law and order where the producers hate them because every correspondent is terrible. There was a one order episode with the corresponding and he shoots himself in the foot to get publicity and to be a terrible person. That is the picture of lawandorder programs that dont like journalist. Is there something that they find these negative portrayals . Guest journalism is the greatest profession is the world somebody knew every week you can do stories that save peoples lives and makes life better ourbe the voice of the person who is poor or sick or ignored ignored by society to be their champion i dont know why they are a villain of Popular Culture they should be lionized but maybe they only see a very small perch portion of the tabloid journalist who was stalking them with a camera so that is the image they like to portray but normally it is very positive like james cagney in the old days or julia roberts
