"In the past, w e h a v e had a p o o r safety r e c o r d .

Badly needed interior renovations include

"You c a n ' t e v e n o p e n a theater n o w without seating areas for the d i s a b l e d , " S m i t h said.

Wallace and Gremit: The Best of Aardman Animation now showing at the Knickerbocker is a collection of British clay-animation cartoons featuring nine shorts directed by five different directors.

Often in the Monty Python genre, the cartoons were subtly witty at times, childishly silly at others, but always hilarious.

Next, Shoemaker delineated the media routines which restrain the individual media worker and dictate what ends up in the daily news.

Correspondents work with facts, direct quotes, sources, and guidelines of "objectivity." This, however, is s o m e t i m e s more an e f f o r t to cite multiple different opinions than a search f o r what is truly happening.

And the o p i n i o n s that the media hear may depend more on corporate public relations staff that any accurate picture of reality, she said.

Finally, j o u r n a l i s t s t h e m s e l v e s can manipulate news, even though individual biases should be eliminated by editors in the media process.

"It is c l e a r that m e d i a d o not m a k e u p the daily n e w s . " S h o e m a k e r s a i d . " M e d i a c o n t e n t is shaped, powered, constrained, and motivated by a multitude of forces."
