Horwitz, Richard
Summary:
Richard Horwitz’s photojournalism career was born of a series of right decisions made at the right time. It was a career that took him to all 50 states and 76 countries, that traversed multiple technological paradigm shifts in the photography and media worlds, and that supplied him more than an ordinary lifetime’s worth of adventures. Horwitz, who grew up in Illinois, planned to study astronomy in college. A high school advisor suggested he consider Indiana University. That’s when he made what he considers to be the first of his right decisions: He visited, fell in love immediately and ultimately enrolled. Having learned to shoot photos in high school, Horwitz joined the Arbutusyearbook as a staff photographer and quickly began to dedicate more time to his work there than to his regular classes. Concurrently, he found his dreams of pursuing astronomy soured by required math courses. His next major decision came: During his sophomore year, Horwitz spoke to department chairman John Stempel about changing his major from astronomy to journalism. It would require extra work, but it was worth it. “I don’t know where I would be today if I had stayed in astronomy,” Horwitz said. Horwitz also freelanced for the Associated Press, photographing sports and other assignments. After earning his bachelor’s degree in journalism in 1963 and his master’s degree in education with an audiovisual communication specialization in 1964, he took a full-time job with the AP in New York City. But the big city lifestyle wasn’t for him, so when a position on the Washington photo desk opened up, he applied for it — just in time for the Watergate scandal. In 1989, after decades of work in New York, Washington, Boston and Chicago, he became the AP’s European photo network director, a position that took him to London. The photojournalism profession evolved significantly during Horwitz’s 27-year career. As a college student and young AP photographer, Horwitz shot his work on film and transmitted photos via wire. His final assignment with the AP was to establish a commercial picture agency using the AP satellite to deliver digital pictures to newsrooms. Most of the job of picture editor is behind the scenes: assigning photographers, coordinating with stories, choosing pictures, writing captions and transmitting photos. Sometimes he also picked up a camera. Horwitz said the most rewarding part of his career was always the adventures. In 1976, a cargo tanker ship broke in half and sank off Nantucket. His aerial view was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. In the midst of it all, his passion for astronomy found its place. He’s traveled to photograph a total of 15 eclipses, most notably a 1972 eclipse off the African coast and a 1979 eclipse in Canada. Both were used on the front page of The New York Times. He witnessed Apollo 11’s takeoff for the first moon landing. And there wasn’t a mite of math involved.

Rappaport, John H., 1940-
Summary:
Since 1968, John Rappaport has brought laughter, fun and drama into the lives of the American public as a writer and producer of such all-time television classics as Laugh-In, All in the Family and M*A*S*H. Born in Chicago and raised in Highland Park, Illinois, Rappaport enrolled at IU in fall 1958. He began as a business major, but switched to radio and television/psychology midway through his sophomore year after joining the Indiana Memorial Union Radio Club and hosting a Sunday night jazz record show on WTTS-AM. As a junior, Rappaport continued his jazzy ways on the powerful WFIU-FM from IU’s Radio-TV Quonset hut. There, he hosted a daily afternoon show of jazz albums and improvised chatter. Rappaport also dabbled in standup comedy, performing at the “Freshman Tyrolean” dance and “Spring Fling” and serving as emcee during the two-day IU Sing competition at the IU Auditorium. Rappaport had a pattern of making spontaneous life-altering decisions. After leaving IU in January 1963, he moved back to the Chicago area, where he worked as a pop — but not rock — DJ. Nine months later, at 3 a.m. after a New Year’s Eve party during a major snowstorm, he blew a tire on Chicago’s tri-state tollway and had to change it in a suit and no coat. The next day, he quit his job and moved to California, hoping to be a DJ in a more agreeable climate. Initially, only the climate was agreeable. After stints as an ad agency copywriter, radio station promotion manager, DJ’s comedy sidekick and syndicated radio comedy writer, Rappaport launched his new career in 1969 when his spec material landed him a staff writing gig on the No. 1 TV show Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In. He wrote for the show until its cancellation in 1973. During his four years there, he penned 100 episodes and also wrote two comedy specials, including the Emmy-nominated first Lily Tomlin Special. Itching to break out of the sketch comedy mold, he landed a pitch meeting and then a script assignment at another No. 1-rated show, All in the Family. The script was a hit, and he was hired by Norman Lear as a staff story editor, splitting time between All in the Family and its sizzling spinoff, Maude. He next moved to The Odd Couple and eventually the legendary war dramedy, M*A*S*H, where he served as head writer and supervising producer for its final four years, topped off with the two-and-a-half hour finale, which was the most viewed episode in television history. Rappaport also wrote and produced seven pilots for his company, Leeway Productions (named after his wife, Lee) and worked on films featuring screen legends Jane Fonda, Richard Dreyfuss and Burt Reynolds, and The Godfather producer Al Ruddy. He also spent a season on Night Court and was the executive producer of Gung Ho. Along the way, Rappaport garnered eight primetime Emmy nominations, four People’s Choice Awards, five Writers Guild Best Script award nominations, three Humanitas Prizes and a Golden Globe. He also served on the Producers Guild of America Board of Directors for 14 years and is in the National Association of Broadcasters and the Producers Guild of America halls of fame. To top it all off, two of his three L.A.-born and -raised children are graduates and devoted lovers of IU.

248. Herbs and Saints in the City of Angels: Researching Botánicas, Healing, and Power in Southern Cal... (1:18:37)

Summary:
This lecture presents results of a project on folk medicine among Latinx in Los Angeles in which 131 interviews were conducted with 49 individuals, more than half of whom were healers associated with botánicas. Contrary to a number of previous reports, research data reveal that the healers were not poorly educated, unsophisticated, or adversaries of biomedical care; that clientele were not exclusively Latinx; and that a number of long-standing assumptions in works on Latinx healing traditions should be reassessed. The present study of ethnomedical treatment offers insight into needs and concerns that could inform the healthcare profession in regard to one of the largest and most underserved populations in the US.

Summary:
Diana Hadley has dedicated her career to educating and advocating for new generations of journalists. After earning a bachelor’s degree from Purdue in 1971, Hadley took a job at Mooresville High School, where she taught English, speech and journalism for more than 30 years. Despite having no journalism experience, she was assigned to advise the school’s newspaper and teach a journalism course. Incidentally, that was perhaps the single most significant assignment of her life. “It was the best thing I did, and it was a happy accident,” she said. Through teaching and advising, she developed an admiration for journalism, which inspired her to pursue a master’s degree in journalism from Indiana University. It took eight years to complete. Although it was challenging to continue to teach, advise publications and earn a master’s degree, dean Richard Gray and advisor Mary Benedict scheduled classes after 4 p.m. and during the summer, allowing Hadley to attend. The rich experience forged a loyalty to IU and the High School Journalism Institute she maintained for the rest of her career. Hadley spent 10 years advising Mooresville’s television news outlet, 23 advising the school’s yearbook staff and all 33 advising its newspaper staff. Hadley established the school’s television news outlet when the school received a gift of free broadcast equipment. She developed a broadcast class in which students produced the morning and afternoon announcements. She came to school at 6:30 a.m. every day to supervise her students. In 1986, Hadley received the Indiana High School Press Association’s Ella Sengenberger Adviser of the Year award. In 1996, she was named Distinguished Adviser of the Year by the Dow Jones News Fund. In 2000, she was a finalist for the Indiana Department of Education’s Teacher of the Year award. In 2004, after retiring from Mooresville, Hadley began a part-time job at Franklin College as assistant director of IHSPA and part-time instructor in Franklin’s journalism school. She eventually became director of IHSPA and served in that role for 13 years. Though she didn’t directly advise a high school newspaper or yearbook staff, Hadley continued to dedicate herself to improving the field of high school journalism. She corresponded with high school journalism advisors seeking advice and trekked across Indiana to assist teachers and advisors as they struggled through administrative hassles, freedom of press issues and any other problem that might plague a high school newspaper. Hadley also started a First Amendment Day at the Statehouse each March — giving up to 400 high school students the opportunity to observe the legislative process — and coordinated the evaluation of hundreds of newspapers and yearbooks to create an annual statewide awards program. She also taught at IU’s High School Journalism Institute for more than 30 summers. Hadley retired from IHSPA in 2017. Hadley has received honors and recognition from the Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame, the Indiana State Teachers Association, the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication, the Indiana Department of Education, the Independent Colleges of Indiana and the Woman’s Press Club of Indiana/National Federation of Press Women. In 2017, she received a Sagamore of the Wabash.

Summary:
This study examines the South Korean cyberfeminist community Womad, a community currently under fire in South Korea due to its exclusionary politics, i.e. its antagonism towards anyone (biologically) male and (ethnically) Korean. In this project, The study reveals how Womad’s “medium specificity” (i.e. its platform) interacts with South Korea’s “national specificity” in specific ways that results in the “technological assemblage” that is Womad. By amassing individual postings through data crawling, the project uses computerized text analysis to (1) reveal the technical difficulties underlying textual analysis of Korean online communities in general (2) examine the kinds of topics that this specific community engages with (3) investigate which topics are most popular/unpopular within the community (thus accruing more upvotes/downvotes).
