### Education Topics on Newsmagazines

[Before newsmagazines became a ubiquitous format in the 1980s](/exhibits/newsmagazines/definitive-newsmags), a few vanguard stations got a regular weekly news program up and running in the 1970s. The newly merged WNET began airing [*The 51st State*](/catalog?f%5Bseries_titles%5D%5B%5D=The+51st+State) in 1972, which ran until 1976. The show reported on New York issues such as [racial segregation in the Canarsie neighborhood and school system](/catalog/cpb-aacip_75-79h44s2z) and the [conditions in School District 1, where the teachers union was set to battle the neighborhood picks in an upcoming election](/catalog/cpb-aacip_75-09w0vvf7). In 1976, Louisiana Public Broadcasting's [*Louisiana: The State We’re In*](/catalog?f%5Bseries_titles%5D%5B%5D=Louisiana%3A+The+State+We%27re+In) began as a magazine show devoted primarily to state capitol politics, but also covered local news and current events. The show featured legislative debates over [Teachers Pay](/catalog/cpb-aacip_17-870vv6zt), [School Buses](/catalog/cpb-aacip_17-93gxf41r), and [Sex Education](/catalog/cpb-aacip_17-902z46b3). It also brought attention to issues such as the [National Teacher Examination](/catalog/cpb-aacip_17-278sg53f) and teachers’ strikes in [East Baton Rouge Parish](/catalog/cpb-aacip_17-97xktqjf) and [Jefferson Parish](/catalog/cpb-aacip_17-14nkb5dp).

One of the few nightly newsmagazines on public television, [*New Jersey Nightly News*](/catalog?f%5Bseries_titles%5D%5B%5D=New+Jersey+Nightly+News), began in 1978. The show, which still is on the air, frequently features educational reporting, including an early feature called [“A Closer Look: Education—Graduation Standards”](/catalog/cpb-aacip_259-p843vk2c). The New Jersey Network also featured public affairs specials, including a panel discussion on [“The State of the Arts in New Jersey”](/catalog/cpb-aacip_259-qb9v3v5p) on arts education and a [broadcast of the case Smith v. Ricci](/catalog/cpb-aacip_259-222r7s4c), argued before the State Supreme Court in 1982 on the rules governing sex education in public schools.

According to Donald Dixon, whereas student groups like SDS frequently refused to allow the commercial networks to film their activities, they trusted NET producers. “In fact,” according to historian Carolyn Brooks, “NET was the only network organization offered unrestricted access to the strategy meetings of these groups, giving NET an edge in its coverage of the student movement.”[<sup>35</sup>](/exhibits/education/notes#35) With this privilege, NET took its cameras to universities across the country. In [*The Frustrated Campus*](/catalog/cpb-aacip_516-r20rr1qp0h) (1968), *PBL* filmed an extended confrontation between student protestors and the faculty and administration of the University of Illinois. *NET Journal* produced [*Diary of a Student Revolution*](/catalog/cpb-aacip_75-558czg1g) ([Featured Program](#Featured-Program)) in 1969, spending ten days filming the protests surrounding on-campus recruiting at the University of Connecticut. [*To Calm a Troubled Campus*](/catalog/cpb-aacip_75-43nvx4g1) (1969), also an episode of *NET Journal*, shows the University of Pennsylvania dealing with protests about the college’s relationship with the war effort and Penn’s intrusion into adjacent minority neighborhoods. *PBL* combined two documentaries filmed at Stanford University under the title [*University in Society: Do the Ties Bind?*](/catalog/cpb-aacip_516-g44hm53h63) (1969). The first, *Reform Before Revolution*, depicts the administration, while the second, *Fathers and Sons*, follows student radicals.

Once a month starting in mid-1968, *NET Journal* became *Black Journal*. “On those nights,” according to James Day, “one could almost hear the collective sucking in of breath along the network as the more timorous among the affiliates waited to see what provocations the show’s black producers would thrust upon the stations’ predominately white audiences.”[<sup>36</sup>](/exhibits/education/notes#36) [Episode #12](/catalog/cpb-aacip_512-rf5k932614) of *Black Journal* reported on black student movements at Duke and Cornell universities, and the predominantly black campuses of Saint Augustine College and Shaw University, both in North Carolina. *Color Us Black!* [Part One](catalog/cpb-aacip_512-f47gq6rz2w) and [Part Two](/catalog/cpb-aacip/_5-60cvf2cz), broadcast in May 1968 as an NET Journal episode before *Black Journal* began, showed the conflict between militant black students at Howard University in Washington, D.C., and what they considered to be the “bourgeois” administration.

WGBH, in broadcasts for the local Boston community, also followed student unrest. An episode of its series *Say Brother* called [“Black Power on University Campuses”](/catalog/cpb-aacip_15-99p2w600) (1968) follows the student takeover at Ford Hall at Brandeis University. In [*Harvard: Where Do We Go from Here?*](/catalog/cpb-aacip_15-j678s4jx9p) (1969), the station provided a forum where representatives of various factions could debate the protests in Cambridge.

## Summary

### Featured Program: [A Year of Change: Leadership in the Principal’s Office](/catalog/cpb-aacip_75-84zgnfk0)
How large public institutions reform themselves can be a difficult thing to understand from the outside. Change is needed, citizens will say. They might even vote or protest accordingly, but often the ways in which institutional changes occur are not fully revealed to the public. WNET’s *New York Voices* sought to elucidate one reform strategy taken on by the New York public school system in the series *A Year of Change: Leadership in the Principal’s Office* that ran from 2003 to 2005. In 2002, Joel Klein, the Chancellor of the New York City Department of Education, had launched the Leadership Academy, a boot camp for ninety would-be principals. Over fifteen months, host Rafael Pi Roman follows three principals in the program as they negotiate seminars, role-playing scenarios, lectures from business tycoons, discussions with teachers, and finally their first months at the schools they plan to lead. Throughout this series, Pi Roman speaks with city officials and community leaders, discussing the merits and problems of the program. *A Year of Change* is a unique look into how reform happened in America’s largest school system. Watch the episodes here: [Part I: The First Year](/catalog/cpb-aacip_75-84zgnfk0), [Part II: Into the Classroom](/catalog/cpb-aacip_75-91sf7z2m), [Part III: Imparting Values](/catalog/cpb-aacip_75-54kkwvxb), [Part IV: Measuring Success](/catalog/cpb-aacip_75-46d259qp), and [Part V: The Second Year](/catalog/cpb-aacip_75-59c5bb6b). And, from the second season [Episode 7](/catalog/cpb-aacip_75-78tb3358) and [Episode 8](/catalog/cpb-aacip_cpb-aacip/75-0644j7nn).

Protesters and activists have also advocated for change through acts of civil disobedience, or deliberate disregard of laws. Acts of civil disobedience came to the forefront during the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. By employing nonviolent civil disobedience in the form of sit-ins, occupations, and boycotts, civil rights activists powerfully displayed their strong opposition to segregation laws, voter discrimination, and violence against black individuals.

In its [first anniversary broadcast](/catalog/cpb-aacip_129-19s1rtd4) from 1995, anchors for the UNC-TV series *North Carolina Now* explained how the show was “a brand new concept for UNC-TV: a nightly news and magazine program that was to become the best source of information for you, our audience, about the state we live in.” By 1997, producers of the show had pivoted away from their original emphasis on “back of the book features,” or lighter stories, toward weightier subjects in an effort to respond to viewer feedback.[<sup>13</sup>](/exhibits/newsmagazines/notes#13) The new [*North Carolina Now*](/catalog/cpb-aacip_129-0966t68r) led with “extended issues stories, but went light for the end of each show.”[<sup>14</sup>](/exhibits/newsmagazines/notes#14)
