Do laws that require citizens to present valid identification to vote create an undue hardship? Worse, are they racist? Artur Davis used to think so. He represented Alabama's 7th Congressional District from 2003 to 2011 and was an active member of the Congressional Black Caucus. He vigorously opposed voter ID laws. But now he has changed his mind. In a commentary in the Montgomery Advertiser, Mr. Davis says his home state of Alabama "did the right thing" in passing a voter ID law and admits, "I wish I had gotten it right when I was in political office. As a congressman, he says, he "took the path of least resistance," opposing voter ID laws without any evidence to justify his stance. He simply "lapsed into the rhetoric of various partisans and activists who contend that requiring photo...
Kenneth Hare, who researched and wrote the book, is the editor of the Advertiser's editorial page. The Montgomery Advertiser began publication in 1829. Originally called the Planter's Gazette, it became the Advertiser in 1833. By the turn of the century the Advertiser had become a major voice in Alabama. In 1903 R.F. Hudson, a young Alabama newspaperman, joined the staff of the Advertiser and helped lead the paper toward financial success, owning 10 percent of the stock by 1924. In 1935 he bought it outright and five years later bought The Alabama Journal, a competitor. Carmage Wells purchased the newspapers in 1963 as the largest property in his growing list of Southern newspapers.

[Carr] served as president of the organization that led the Montgomery Bus Boycott for over 40 years. It began in 1955 after [Rosa Parks] refused to give up her seat to a white man on a city bus. One of her most notable quotes, employed whenever she spoke of her dear friend Parks was, "When Rosa Parks refused to sit down the world turned around!" Parks died in Detroit in 2005 at the age of 92. Montgomery Mayor Bobby Bright said Carr was an "encourager" and "not a divider" in an interview with the Montgomery Advertiser, the city's daily newspaper. Participating in many of the city's prominent Civil Rights Movement celebrations, Carr made an appearance at Montgomery's King Day celebration days before her stroke.

During the 1950s, the American Society of Newspaper Editors became the site of an ideological struggle between the racial status quo and the new social order envisioned by the Supreme Court's ruling in Brown v. Board of Education. This article examines the all-white ASNE in the years after Brown as the racial exclusivity of the organization and the profession it represented were both questioned and reaffirmed. Using a variety of primary source documents, including ASNE publications, convention transcripts, and members' archival materials, this project isolates the ways in which the white prerogative reasserted itself through the exclusivity of the ASNE membership structure, the usage of regional history and identity by editors from the South, and the manipulation of the journalistic ide...

Erikson and Hamilton investigate the extent to which newspapers are engaging in parachute journalism today, describe its current practice, and propose typologies that capture the complexity of the phenomenon. They find that parachute journalism, which is most often depicted as bad journalism, is an over-simplification, and that while they confirm the negatives, they also point to the positive aspects of newspapers attempting to draw their readers into international affairs by having a presence in a foreign land.

[Donald E. Williamson] descartó que, una vez interrumpido el reparto del producto, existan más riesgos para la salud de los pacientes del área, ya que el suero "sólo lo distribuía una farmacia a un pequeño grupo de hospitales del área" de Birmingham. Las autoridades no han identificado la enfermedad que padecían las víctimas, aunque Williams apuntó que los pacientes que reciben TPN suelen tener "algún tipo de problema que contribuye a una deficiencia nutricional, ya sea el cáncer, las quemaduras, o la recuperación tras una cirugía".
