Way back in 1968 I did a paper that was required for my speech class. I did mine on the reporting on the riots at the Democratic Convention by as seen by three different news organizations; the Chicago Tribune, the New York Times, and the Los Angeles Free Press. My speech professor back in those days at San Jose State College, Dr. Phil Wander, thought it was good enough to be published. Well, now it has been. But the REAL reason I am putting it here on cloud-maven is because the online instructions for inserting this pdf into a Microsoft word docx do not work.; so frustrating!! But if it’s here at cloud-maven, I can insert a link into my MS Word. It’s part of an autobio: “All About ME! The Untold Story of Art Rangno and Why” as told by Art Rangno.
1969 COMPARATIVE NEWS PAPER ON THE 1968 DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION RIOTS
Wow Art, that was high praise from the instructor, “One of the finest…in all my classes”.
It would be nice to have comparisons like this one published regularly for other major news stories. That the NYT scores better than the other papers in your report fits with my casual observations.
Thanks, John. I wanted to put this in a word docx and couldn’t do it. Also, a disclosure, my prof was pretty young, hadn’t likely seen too many term papers!
“Hey”, thanks for troubling to comment Jon. Hope you and Sam are doing well, too. Hoping for a generous summer rain season here (aka, the monsoon).
