"This study will examine the media coverage of the 1992 riots in Los Angeles following the acquittal of the police officers charged with beating Rodney King. The thesis of the study will be that the media was biased in its coverage of the riots, and that that bias was based on racial stereotyping.
The sources consulted for this study indicate clearly that there was substantial bias in the coverage of the rioting. That bias involved reporters' assignments, the power over who wrote the words of the stories filed, the description of the rioting and its participants, and, most importantly, an almost total absence of meaningful analysis of the deeper socioeconomic issues which gave rise to the rioting.
Ishmael Reed, in Airing Dirty Laundry, posits the theory that the media is rife with subtle and not-so-subtle racial bias ..."

"On April 29, 1992 Los Angeles erupted into what has been known as the L.A. riots. Many people have compared these riots to the Watts riots of 1965. While there are some parallels between the two occurrences, there are major differences as well.
The 1965 Watts riots may have signaled the eclipse of an old order, WASP and conservative, personified by then-Mayor Sam Yorty and Police Chief William Parker.. By the mid-1960s, a new governing coalition was already emerging, linking the black and Jewish communities, liberal on social issues, friendly to corporate priorities, and soon to be presided over by Tom Bradley. The Watts riots pointed out that black people needed a voice in government and with this new, liberal coalition it seemed likely that they would get it. There would be money and effort put into rebuilding the black community."

From the Paper
"In Spring 1992, four Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers were acquitted of assaulting motorist Rodney King. The beating had been videotaped by a bystander and shown on television news broadcasts not just in Los Angeles, but throughout the nation. The verdict sparked riots in Los Angeles that rivaled those of the 60s, with hundreds of fires breaking out and widespread looting taking place. Emergency services personnel were put in danger as they responded to calls, and the long-term effects of the riots are still being felt in the workplace, in government regulations, and in the community. This research examines the riots themselves and the aftermath that they left in Los Angeles."

"Problem Formulation
In April 1992 Los Angeles experienced the worst riot in an American city when the first of the juries trying the police officers accused of beating motorist Rodney King acquitted those officers. The resulting riot has been portrayed in the media as largely a black and white affair, with frustrated Blacks rioting against the white power structure that they see as responsible not only for these verdicts but for the underlying racism and racial oppression they have experienced in the past. Yet, statistics show that this is not an accurate picture of the demographics of the city or what happened in the riots.
The Hispanic and Asian-American populations in the city of Los Angeles increased dramatically during the 1980s, while the Anglo and African-American populations decreased. By 1990 ..."

"Americans turn to the media during natural disasters and severe weather as a source of information. Radio and television provide information on where an earthquake occurred and how strong it was, whether a tornado watch or warning is in effect, and which direction hurricanes and tropical storms are headed. Few dispute the importance of media coverage in these instances, and the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) evolved to take advantage of the ability of mass media to quickly inform thousands and even millions of individual about potential problems in their region. However, the media's coverage of disasters extends into the aftermath of the disaster, with information about the extent and cost of the damage, speculation about who (or what) was responsible for the event, and interviews with families who have been..."

From the Paper
"In the time that has passed since the Los Angeles riots of April, 1992, plans have been made to rebuild. The issue is how deep the rebuilding effort will go. A cosmetic rebuilding of structures is always possible, but what about the deeper issues that led to the riots in the first place? The rebuilding effort is under the leadership of an organization created for just that purpose, Rebuild L.A., headed by Peter Ueberroth. Los Angeles can indeed be rebuilt as far as replacing burned buildings is concerned. What is less certain is whether real and lasting change can be brought about in the underlying structure of the city, in the relationship between different neighborhoods, in the patterns of investment that have created these neighborhoods and differentiated them economically, in the racial and social tensions that have developed among the various neighborhoods, and..."

The 1992 Los Angeles Riots, 1997.

From the Paper
"INTRODUCTION
In April 1992 Los Angeles experienced the worst riot in an American city when the first of the juries trying the police officers accused of beating motorist Rodney King acquitted those officers. This was the second major riot in Los Angeles, the first being the Watts Riot in the mid-1960s. After the earlier riot, city officials promised that they would find ways to bridge the gap between the black and white communities and reduce cross-cultural tensions in the city. Tensions between the races and among different ethnic groups continued, however, and exploded once more in the 1992 riot. Those tensions have diminished somewhat in the city, but they have not disappeared, nor have the underlying causes been fully addressed. This leaves it an open question whether these tensions might erupt once more."

L.L. Bean, Inc., 2004.
This paper discusses the marketing case of the L.L. Bean Company, which operates on three channels, including catalog, Internet, and retail stores.

Abstract
This paper explains that L.L. Bean experienced a slight decline in growth because of increasing competition and other market forces, which requires more research about the existing business to decide the proper strategies. The author points out that L.L. Bean's emphasis on customer service sets it apart from some other catalog companies and helps in its marketing. The paper stresses that inventory management is a key issue that must be addressed because goods now are shipped ready for the direct channel and not for the retail channel; therefore, a dual flow system in which the goods are sent ready-for-sale to retail centers would eliminate time and costs for a considerable savings of about $.95 a unit.

Abstract
The thesis of this paper contends that internet sales of L.L. Bean and Land's End have impacted their apparel market. The paper attempts to demonstrate this thesis by examining the sales record, corporate image, and customer relationships of both companies since commencing with a web presence.
From the Paper
"In order to determine the degree to which L.L. Bean and Lands? End have been successful in further evolving and establishing their traditional catalog and retail store customer base to the online shopping world, one measure have success may be evidence of customer satisfaction in addition to customer purchases. According to Hill (2002), when attempting to determine the degree to which customers are satisfied with an online shopping experience, the best measure of customer satisfaction is the likelihood that a customer will return to the site to shop again. While some have suggested that customer relationships are best understood by examining a group of attributes, including use of email and other channels to connect with the company, the real indicator of customer satisfaction is the degree to which they will make online purchases from the company on a repeat basis."

Abstract
This paper reviews some of the existing literature regarding crowds and rioting and the emotions and motivations that accompany crowd and riot behavior. The paper also offers an analysis of the articles and compares their different theories.
From the Paper
"When examining crowds, food riots and race riots, different types of emotions, including anger, fear and elation, are often highly visible in crowd and riot behavior. Still, we can no longer return to the days before E.P. Thompson published his watershed piece of "moral indignation" that has been behind so many historical grievances and even the tactics that rioters use when expressing those grievances."

Abstract
This paper discusses the role played by the mass media in covering newsworthy events. The paper focuses on the media coverage of the riots that took place in Los Angeles in 1992 by examining reports that appeared in the "Los Angeles Times" and "Korea Times". The paper explores the biased, racist opinions that appear in the newspaper articles.
From the Paper
"Mass media has played and will continue to play a decisive role in the history of the United States and the way society perceives societal conflicts and social tensions. In 1992, Rodney King's beating and the flow of a heated crowd to the urban streets of Los Angeles created the perfect chance to cover a topic by the newspapers. Following the civil disturbance, for most Americans, print and screen media became the only source where the public could obtain information; however, what these readers did not realize was that they were being subjected to receiving biased racial messages and predisposed perspectives. There are many types of ways a reporter can blend in his biased judgments into their work. The riot coverage by the Los Angeles Times and Korea Times of 1992, and through other similar sources shows a substantial difference in the way they reported the event."

"MILITARY ASSISTANCE & CIVIL DISTURBANCES: LOS ANGELES RIOTS CASE
A. Identification of the Appropriate Military Response to Civil Disturbances Based on Doctrine and Which Organization Should Accomplish This Response. United States armed forces have traditionally been available to provide military assistance to civilian authorities (MACDIS or MACA) in restoring law and order in domestic civil disturbances. However, under Department of Defense (DOD) Directive Number 3025.12, 4 Feb 1994 (1994 Directive) and its 1991 predecessor, the armed forces renders MACDIS only as a last resort where its "use . . . is necessary to prevent the loss of life or wanton destruction of property, or to restore governmental functioning and public order" and when "duly constituted local authorities are unable to control the situation" (sec. 4.2.2.1). Sec. 4.1.3 provides that "the primary ..."

Abstract
This paper compares traditional media to new media in an attempt to determine which one is more influential and how they differ in their stories and presentation methods.
From the Paper
"Media is always biased, less trained, unprepared, and hasty or simply looking for sensationalism and that is the reason why the news that we receive is either insignificant or highly distorted. Apart from the reporting of various events during the recent Iraq War, which I trust were never reported accurately, the media also tried to divert public?s attention from pressing issues to those of minor significance by obsessing over trivial events. That media cannot be fully trusted for accurate account of events became a big issue when the story of Private Jessica Lynch came forth. Newspapers, televisions, local channels, radio stations and even the Internet obsessed over Jessica Lynch and her rescue from Iraqi forces. Almost overnight, she became the most important person in the world- an icon that everyone wanted to know more about. Lynch was presented as an epitome of courage and bravery and it appeared as if the only real purpose of having US force in Iraq was to rescue Jessica Lynch. ?In the fourteen days after her rescue, Lynch drew 919 references in major papers, according to a Nexis search. In that same period, General Tommy Franks, who ran the war, got 639 references, Vice President Dick Cheney 549, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz 389. She stood with the giants.?

Abstract
This paper examines the question of whether Tom Golisano, running as a third-party candidate for governor of New York in the past mid-term elections, received an appropriate degree of coverage in the region?s newspapers.The author counted the number of newspaper articles per candidate. The author concludes that, because of the relatively limited impact of third-party candidates, the amount of coverage that Golisano received was fair and appropriate.
From the Paper
"One of the important questions in American politics is why the two parties have so much power, in contrast to many nations in which numerous political parties are represented both in the government and in the national public political debate. One of the major differences between countries with two parties and those with a variety of political parties is, of course, the difference between a parliamentary system of government and our own, which does not encourage power sharing amongst different parties."
