Framing Two Enemies in Mass Media: A Content Analysis of U.S. Government Influence in American Film during World War II
This content analysis of World War II movies and Office of War Information documents was conducted to ascertain the influence of the U.S. government on the depictions of the Japanese and German enemy by American filmmakers during the war. Film content was selected for this study as television was in its infancy during the war, and the U.S. government routinely used film in conjunction with radio and other mass media. Findings show that selected g…

Although there has been some scholarly work devoted to international radio broadcasting, such work has focused mainly on the station and has neglected the system in which the st…

The authors evaluate impacts of web-based learning (WBL) for a geographic information system (GIS) course in which self-paced interactive learning modules replaced lectures to prepare students for GIS laboratory activities. They compare student laboratory, mid-term, final exam and overall scores before and after introduction of WBL, analyzing for gender differences in performance. Laboratory scores improved significantly for both males and female…
