Podcast appearances and mentions of brooke kroeger

Acclaimed author Brooke Kroeger joins host Sheryl McCarthy for an enlightening half-hour discussion celebrating often-overlooked women of American journalism, the subject of Brooke's latest book, "Undaunted: How Women Changed American Journalism."

“Women are very worried about these (extreme weather) events, and they're the ones that really worry about the impact on communities.…They want to leave a better country for their children...They will say that climate change is something that really is on my agenda more because my children talk to me about it and they listen to their children and grandchildren. That said, the urgency around climate change ebbs and flows a little bit. Many of the single issue climate change voters are also single issue war and Gaza voters. So that's pushed this issue out a little bit. But in the long run, women are very worried about the climate.”   Celinda Lake on Electric Ladies Podcast We are in the midst of the most consequential election in modern history, when democracy is literally on the ballot, as is protecting the planet. President Biden passed the largest climate mitigation legislation in history, with $3 trillion in investment and financial incentives in clean energy, communities, etc.  The Republican nominee, “former guy” is in the pocket of fossil fuels and promises to reverse all that funding. What do women voters want? Listen to master opinion researcher Celinda Lake, Founder/CEO of Lake Research Partners for the unvarnished truth, with Electric Ladies podcast host Joan Michelson.   You'll hear: How women voters today feel about climate change and how it influences their voting. How opinion research really works in today's polarized electorate with layers of technology and unconscious messaging to penetrate. How to talk about climate change to women voters so they listen and respond with urgency. How her being raised in Montana has made her a better opinion researcher. Plus, insightful career advice …. “Women often have far more skills than their resumes translate into. And actually we're going into a good period now where I think employers and organizations are looking for the skillset that you have more than the job titles that you have. And that's good for women because we have a lot of skills that we will have acquired in different arenas. Bring in your all… It's tough out there. It requires resilience, but just remember that you have a tremendous amount to offer and, um, you know it, and sooner or later somebody's going to figure that out too.” Celinda Lake on Electric Ladies podcast You'll also want to listen to: Joan Michelson hosts a Forum at The Newseum on the Constitutional Amendment that certified women's right to vote, the 19th Amendment. Marcia Chatelain, Ph.D., Professor of American History at Georgetown University on the power of black women voters. Brooke Kroeger, author of “The Suffragents,” about the men who supported women's right to vote. Vanessa Chan, Ph.D, Chief Commercialization Officer of the Department of Energy on transforming our energy systems (and the Inflation Reduction Act funding) Heather Boushey, Member of the National Council of Economic Advisors in the White House and Chief Economist of the Invest in America Cabinet “The Power of Women Voters,” Joan Michelson's Forbes article on the anniversary of the certification of women's right to vote.

Undaunted: How Women Changed American Journalism (Knopf, 2023) is a representative history of the American women who surmounted every impediment put in their way to do journalism's most valued work. From Margaret Fuller's improbable success to the highly paid reporters of the mid-nineteenth century to the breakthrough investigative triumphs of Nellie Bly, Ida Tarbell, and Ida B. Wells, Brooke Kroeger examines the lives of the best-remembered and long-forgotten woman journalists. She explores the careers of standout woman reporters who covered the major news stories and every conflict at home and abroad since before the Civil War, and she celebrates those exceptional careers up to the present, including those of Martha Gellhorn, Rachel Carson, Janet Malcolm, Joan Didion, Cokie Roberts, and Charlayne Hunter-Gault. As Kroeger chronicles the lives of journalists and newsroom leaders in every medium, a larger story develops: the nearly two-centuries-old struggle for women's rights. Here as well is the collective fight for equity from the gentle stirrings of the late 1800s through the legal battles of the 1970s to the #MeToo movement and today's racial and gender disparities. Undaunted unveils the huge and singular impact women have had on a vital profession still dominated by men.

Today, every major news network is steered by women; Fox, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, not to mention leading papers like The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and even the New York Times. A scenario that would have been scoffed at just two decades ago, but now made possible thanks to the tireless efforts of countless trailblazers. Pioneers like Margaret Fuller, Nellie Bly, and Ida B. Wells paved the way for extraordinary women like Martha Gellhorn, Rachel Carson, and Joan Didion. Each of these women not only broke barriers but also shaped journalism as we know it, in a field still primarily controlled by men. Brooke Kroeger, in her new book "Undaunted: How Women Changed American Journalism." tells the story of the relentless pursuit of truth, and the transformative power of journalism when in women's hands. My conversation with Brooke Kroeger:

Mountain Money talks with author Brooke Kroeger about her book "Undaunted: How Women Changed American Journalism." Allison Boxer with the Sorenson Impact Center discusses their new Student Trends and Enrollment Projections Dashboard.Then, Mountain Money ends the hour talking with Chad Magleby about the partnership between Velvaere and Fountain Life at Mayflower Resort.

This week we speak to Brooke Kroeger, a journalist, professor, and author who wrote Undaunted: How Women Changed American Journalism.

Brooke Kroeger is a professor emerita at New York University, where she was the founding director of the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute and taught from 1998 to 2021. In this edition of Living It Up with Lenise, Kroeger is talking about her latest book, "Undaunted: How Women Changed American Journalism." She shares her writing process with Lenise and some some cautionary tales. To learn more about Kroger and her previous works, visit: brookekroeger.com.

For decades, male editors told women they couldn't be reporters because of congenital inaccuracies, or because they required having a male escort to report at night. In her new book, Undaunted: How Women Changed American Journalism, Brooke Kroeger provides a historical record of reporters like Ida B. Wells, Nellie Bly, and Gloria Steinem, who went ahead and did it anyway. Kroeger spoke with NPR's Scott Simon about how these journalists changed the industry forever, and how their legacy lives on through coverage of #MeToo and modern-day issues about gender.

Brooke Kroeger, NYU Journalism Professor talks with Debbie Monterrey talking about her new book "Undaunted - How Women Changed American Journalism." Also Kroeger will be a guest at St. Louis County Library - Grant's View Branch Tuesday night.    © Doug Hood / USA TODAY NETWORK

“Anytime we've had to do something hard in human history, we've needed the public to understand and get on board with this future. And so, what we're trying to do is quite simply to reach mainstream audiences…become America's first mainstream climate brand and reach people who do have a level of concern and awareness about what's happening, but don't know where to start or what to do.” Anna Robertson on Electric Ladies Podcast   As we face the momentous midterm election in American history (and PLEASE VOTE), one of the issues on the ballot in the faces of the candidates and control of the Senate and House is whether the country continues to pass legislation like the Infrastructure Act and the Inflation Reduction Act that address climate change to save our communities, air, water, lives and livelihoods. But we need more information reaching the “unconverted,” or people who still don't understand climate change and what they can do.   Enter Anna Robertson, co-founder of The Cool Down, a new nonpartisan news media platform designed specifically to reach the masses, the confused, the “unconverted” about climate change-related issues and solutions. Anna is a master storyteller who spent decades in network news, mostly at ABC News, and a mom who has personally experienced the threats of climate change. Listen to her explain it on Electric Ladies Podcast in this engaging conversation with host Joan Michelson. You'll hear: What she and her family experienced that was her wake up call to use her talents to address climate change more broadly What kinds of stories they are doing and plan to do to reach a broader audience than the typical “eco” audience. Why language matters and how to talk about climate change to reach more people Plus, insightful career advice. And much more! “It's really important to me that not only am I coming to work every day and making money, but I'm also doing something that I feel is making an impact in the world. And at different times in my life, that's been different things.

In honor of the confirmation hearings for Ketanji Brown Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court, this is a replay of Joan's interview with Dr. Marcia Chatelain of Georgetown University on the role of Black Women Suffragists in women getting the right to vote. This episode was recorded under our previous name, Green Connections Radio, and before President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were elected. When the 19th Amendment ratified that women have the right to vote in this country, black women were not included. However, black women suffragists were quite strategic , as you'll hear as you listen to professor Chatelain, professor of history and African American Studies at Georgetown University. You'll hear:  How black women managed the racial tensions within the suffrage movement. Stories of remarkable black women suffragists who played a critical role in successful passage of the Amendment. Strategies the black women suffragists employed to make sure their voices were heard. Her surprising take on the impact of Kamala Harris as the Democratic VP Nominee. Plus, insightful career advice!

Nellie Bly was just 21 years old when she went ‘undercover' as a patient at an insane asylum in 1887, shocking the world with her vivid reporting on the horrors she witnessed inside. Many consider Bly's work, ‘Ten Days In A Madhouse', the very first example of investigative journalism - no small feat at a time when women were not permitted to be journalists in the first place (unless they agreed to only write about ‘fashion, society and gardening'…).

"#MeToo as an idea isn't new....(W)omen journalists (have been) shedding light on the obstacles, indignities, and violence women face in the workplace....(since) the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when a significant cohort of women entered the newspaper industry." Lori Harrison-Kahan in an OpEd on CNN.com August 18th is the 101st anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which ratified women's right to vote. What most people do not know, is that the fight for women's voting rights was also the beginning of what we now call the #MeToo movement.  As we see yet another powerful white man fall from the power of the #MeToo movement, listen here to this untold part of the story. Listen to professor Lori Harrison-Kahan of Boston College explain how these brave women started speaking out against harassment in the early 1900's – and about a prominent (and rare) female journalist of the era who used her platform to keep the movement in the headlines. That journalist is Miriam Michelson, who also happens to be GCR host Joan Michelson's great-great aunt. (Lori wrote a best-selling book about her, "The Superwoman and Other Writings of Miriam Michelson, which Joan wrote the foreword to.) You'll hear:  How women journalists in the 1890s-1900's addressed the #MeToo movement of their day. How Miriam used her platform for social causes she cared about, especially women's rights. Lessons for women today. Great stories from Miriam's best-selling fiction, which made her a "celebrity" of her day. Click here to watch a video of Joan and Lori's sold-out event at the Newseum about it, and to find more articles and podcasts about it, including Professor Marcia Chatelain of Georgetown University on Black women suffragists.

INTERVIEW BEGINS AT 24:50 This has been one of our most requested topics, and we are thrilled to be joined by journalist, author, and a journalism professor at NYU Brooke Kroeger, winner of the Independent Publisher Book Award for History (U.S.). Nellie Bly was a truly remarkable person, her accomplishments and impact on society of too numerous to even start to list. Much has been written about her, but few have been able to capture the true genius and courage of Nellie like Prof Kroeger. Sit back and listen in amazement at just some of the things Nellie Bly was able to accomplish http://brookekroeger.com/ Check out our Merch Store for Shirts.

One- hundred years ago on August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment, which confirmed women have the right to vote, officially became part of the U.S. Constitution.  But not black women, despite many black women suffragists fighting just as hard as white women for the rights of all women to vote. Black women suffragists were quite strategic though, as you’ll hear as you listen to professor Marcia Chatelain, professor of history and African American Studies at Georgetown University. Dr. Chatelain also has a fascinating take on the impact of Senator Kamala Harris as the Democratic Vice Presidential Nominee. You'll hear:  How black women managed the racial tensions within the suffrage movement.

As we commemorate the centennial of the 19th Amendment, which confirmed women have the right to vote, here is a glimpse into an untold part of the story. It’s about a rare female journalist in the then male-dominated field of journalism who used her platform to keep the movement in the headlines. She also wrote fiction that is considered source material for "Wonder Woman" comics. That journalist is Miriam Michelson, who also happens to be GCR host Joan Michelson’s great-great aunt. Listen to professor Lori Harrison-Kahan of Boston College also share stories about how the @MeToo movement originated in the suffrage movement. Lori wrote a best-selling recent book, "The Superwoman and Other Writings of Miriam Michelson (Joan wrote the foreword to it). You'll hear:  How women journalists in the 1890s-1900's addressed the #MeToo movement of their day. How Miriam used her platform for social causes she cared about, including women's rights. Lessons for women today breaking into non-traditional careers. (You can read about this in my Forbes blog too.) Great stories from Miriam's best-selling fiction, which made her a "celebrity" of her day. For more on the suffrage movement, including Joan’s sold-out even at the Newseum go here.

“The reason their (men’s) participation in that last decade (before ratification of the 19th Amendment) was so important, was because they had the means and the will to help the movement financially and politically.” Brooke Kroeger on Green Connections Radio podcast During the fight for women’s right to vote over 100 years ago, male supporters were crucial. Male lawmakers ultimately had to vote to give women that right in 36 states, by ratifying the 19th Amendment in 1920, and women leveraged their financial and political power.  Listen to NYU journalism professor Brooke Kroeger – author of “The Suffragents: How Women Used Men To Get The Vote” – describe it in this fascinating interview with Green Connections Radio podcast host Joan Michelson. As former VP Joe Biden chooses Senator Kamala Harris to be his running mate in this historic and crucial presidential election of 2020, as VP-designate, it’s a great opportunity to replay this episode and learn more about how important men’s support is to women’s advancement. You'll hear: How women built alliances with men in positions of power and influence. Why male support is so important to women’s advancement. How women leveraged the (male-owned) media to drive public opinion and pressure lawmakers. Why women’s roles in wartime were so important to securing women’s rights.

The famous Nellie Bly was known primarily as a journalist, but in the novel, Nellie Bly: Daredevil. Reporter. Feminist, by Brooke Kroeger, we learn she was also an industrialist, world traveler, and a woman of many “firsts.” Her story began in 1864 in Pennsylvania and continued to writing for the Pittsburgh Dispatch, the New York World, for Joseph Pulitzer, and more. At a time when hardly any reporter had a byline, she was frequently on the front page with her name in the actual headline.  Most well known for her undercover stint in a “madhouse” or lunatic asylum, she was also known for traversing the globe in under 80 days, and her many interviews with important figures in history, such as Susan B. Anthony and Emma Goldman. She was doing gonzo journalism long before Hunter S. Thompson. She also took over her husband's manufacturing company after his death and became the first woman to design, manufacture and market the first successful steel barrel in the U.S. She frequently championed the underprivileged, especially if they were women or orphaned children. She had her flaws, but she commanded attention everywhere she went and became a pivotal figure in history in the early 1900s.

Women triumphed in part "by bringing in elites, both society and social women and men of position, power and influence, and many of them were publishers, editors…and had direct access to the levers of media." Brooke Kroeger on Green Connections Radio podcast As we embark on a crucial presidential election this year, women voters are the largest single voting bloc, but, that right was a hard-fought battle until passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920. To commemorate it this Women’s History Month, listen to my fascinating interview with one of the foremost chroniclers of the suffrage movement, Brooke Kroeger, including lessons for today. She is an NYU journalism professor, author of several books, including “The Suffragents: How Women Used Men To Get The Vote,” creator of  SuffrageandtheMedia.org, and a former top journalist.  Including lessons for women today. You'll hear: How women built alliances with men in positions of power and influence. How women leveraged the media to drive public opinion and pressure lawmakers. Why women’s roles in war-time were so important to securing women’s rights more broadly. Lessons for women today from the fight for women’s suffrage. And great career advice too!

I’m Theo Mayer - the Chief Technologist for the Commission and your host. Welcome to the show. [MUSIC] Preface The African American saga in World War 1 is both inspiring and terrible … Less than a generation after the civil war, this is a time where black american men and women are considered second class citizens at best. Chad Williams is the chair of the African & Afro-American Studies Department at Brandeis University and author of “Torchbearers of Democracy: African-American Soldiers in the World War I Era,”. quote: "In many ways, World War I marked the beginning of the modern civil rights movement for African-Americans. Their service in the military had dramatic implications for African-Americans. Black soldiers faced systemic racial discrimination in the army and endured virulent hostility on returning to their homes at the end of the war. At the same time, service in the army empowered soldiers to demand their individual rights as American citizens and laid the groundwork for the future movement for racial justice."   So…  let's jump into our wayback machine and learn more about the African American experience in the war that changed the world!   World War One THEN 100 Year Ago This Week [MUSIC TRANSITION] It's the first week of December 1917 - Just a note to our audience - that the language of the times, which we have kept in our reports, refers to African Americans as negroes and colored.   [SOUND EFFECT] Dateline: December 4, 197 A headline in the New York times reads ARMY IS FAIR TO NEGROES - Policy of War Department is to discourage race discrimination.   The article reads - Secretary of War Baker today announced that he had ordered an investigation of the allegation that there had been discrimination against negro Draftees. Quote: "As you know, it has been my policy to discourage discrimination against any persons by reason of their race. This policy has been adopted not merely as an act of justice to safeguard the institution which we are now enagaged in defending -  and which any racial disorder must endanger.   The charges stem from accusations that the military is not allowing negro units into combat roles, but relegating them to Service Battalions for labor jobs. And there is a lot of truth to it. Racism is as endemic in the armed forces as it is in the rest of America at this time. Southern Democrats try to block negroes from inclusion in the draft, few colored men served in the Navy and none in the Marine Corps, and the Army’s four segregated units—the 24th and 25th Infantry and the 9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments are assigned guard duty on the Mexican border and never go abroad. African Americans comprised 13 percent of active-duty military manpower, but make up only seven-tenths of 1 percent of the officers. Around 200,000 African Americans are deployed to Europe and serve with distinction in the AEF - the American Expeditionary Forces - as well as with the French Army. While, as per the complaints, the vast majority of these troops are relegated to Services of Supplies (SOS) units and labor battalions, some 40,000 soldiers see combat in two new black units, the Ninety-second and Ninety-third Divisions. Fighting alongside the French, the Ninety-third serves heroically throughout the war and experiences greater acceptance and more equal treatment than that found in the U.S. Army. The division's 369th Infantry Regiment, "the Harlem Hellfighters," spend more than six months on the front lines — longer than any other American unit — in part because General Pershing, contrary to his policy of having American soldiers under American Command, gives the 369th to French commanders who take them to the front immediately -  bypassing much of the training the other combat soldiers undergo... Regardless.. the 369th distinguishes itself as an awesome fighting force that never surrenders an inch of Allied territory nor loses a single soldier through capture. From this regiment alone, 171 officers and men receive either Croix de Guerre or Legions of Merit from the French government. The sacrifice of African American soldiers such as these certainly did not end racism at home or abroad, but it showed the world that their patriotism and heroism unquestioningly matches that of their white counterparts in the war that changed the world!

Well that is what makes this such an interesting event. On April 6, 2017 we declared war on Germany… but not the other axis powers. Though we declared Austria Hungary an ENEMY through the “Trading with the enemy act of 1917” which we told you about in episode 42… we did not formally declare war on them until 100 years ago this week.

First the French… Dateline December 3, 1917 Headline: France gives high praise to our engineers at cambrai The story reads: “There is not a single person who saw them at work who does not render warm praise to the coolness, discipline, and courage of these improvised combatants”   From the seemingly - slightly jealous Pershing troops still waiting and ready to fight…. [SOUND EFFECT] Headline: Pershing’s troops envy the Engineers And the story includes: An infantry Sergeant remarked: ‘We stay in these muddy trenches for a spell and let Fritz shoot his artillery at us and have never really had a chance to use our rifles except to snipe and pot at Fritz out in No Man’s Land on dark nights. Meanwhile - These railroaders managed to run their trains right into a good, thick scrap, and if this isn’t luck, I don’t know what it is.’”   And from the somewhat still astounded engineers [SOUND EFFECT] Headline: Engineers jest over first battle In the story they describe the chaos of sudden, unexpected action, “‘I hadn’t a steel hat handy” ‘so i picked up a petrol tin and put that on my head, and thought it might be better than nothing.”   The  journalist writes, “They are a splendid body of men,” “Hard, keen and good humored, who made a joke of their thrilling adventure and of their present danger.”   And from another soldier, “‘It was the doggonedest experience I ever had, and a mighty close call!’   And that’s how it was this week, one hundred years ago in the war that changed the world!

So as 1917 comes to a close, the British determine that they want to - even need to - win the city from the Ottoman Turks - and they wanted to do it before Christmas! They felt that the  psychological impact was desperately needed in these otherwise dark days.   Here to tell us about the campaign is Mike Shuster, former NPR correspondent and curator of the Great War Project blog.

Life at ground level generally toxic and lethal. So, soldiers spent much of their time living in the ground. Besides the word Trenches, other related words also came into common use - several of which are still with us today. Fox hole, Dug Out and Cubby Hole are three of them! The history of Fox Hole and Dug Out are pretty obvious and the term Cubby was probably derived from the old english word cub - for shed, coop or hutch Today we still have dugouts in baseball and cubbyholes in the office - terms that got popular 100 years ago when the motto was “get down, dig in and stash yourself in a hole”.

Brooke Kroeger interview First from ww1cc.org/news-- A remarkable new book has appeared on the World War I scene, one that traces the origins of the Women's Suffrage movement in America to the war effort 100 years ago. It explores why, a group of prominent and influential men in New York City, and beyond, came together to help women gain the right to vote. Brooke Kroeger is the author. She is a journalist, author of five books, a professor of journalism at the NYU Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute and director of the Global and Joint Program Studies, which she founded in 2007.

When the U.S. entered World War One in 1917, it is estimated that roughly 500,000 people who joined the United States armed services were immigrants. According to the National Park Service, this amounted to 18 percent of U.S. troops. One of these was a Mexican-born, illegal immigrant named Marcelino Serna, who volunteered to join the US Army and was the first Mexican American to collect a Distinguished Service Cross.

Iron Harvest This week, we shared an article from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission on the Iron Harvest. It is estimated that more than a billion shells were fired during the First World War, and that as many as 30 percent of those failed to explode. Specialty bomb-disposal units in France and Belgium collect and defuse the unexploded ordinances, which are often found by farmers as they do their work. These local farmers are the ones who coined the name Iron Harvest, as they come across literal tonnes of shells every year. It’s estimated that it will take another 500 years of the Iron Harvest before the area is fully safe again. Read more about this constant reminder of the war, and watch a video of the disposal units in action, by following the link in the podcast notes. link:https://www.cwgc.org/learn/news-and-events/news/2017/11/28/16/47/the-iron-harvest-a-warning-from-history   Women Photographers Finally this week, a story close to my heart. Hyperallergic put out a piece this week which we shared on facebook featuring and reviewing a new exhibition at Impressions Gallery in Bradford, England. The show is titled No Man’s Land: Women’s Photography and the First World War and features the work of some very talented and brave women photographers who served during the conflict. Some of the artists included served as official photographers, while others photographed while serving as nurses or in other auxiliary roles. One photographer was a motorcycle and ambulance driver who volunteered at 18 and whose photos range from graphic and distressing to coy and humorous. Three contemporary artists’ work is shown as well, complimenting the work done by the women a century ago. Follow the link in the podcast notes to see some of the images and to read the stories of the photographers.

Brooke Kroeger, director of the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute at New York University, is the author of an upcoming book about the history of undercover reporting. In this conversation with assistant editor Joel Meares, she argues that undercover reporting is incredibly valuable for its power to affect change in society, and that it should not be dismissed. They also explore questions like: Is James O'Keefe a journalist? Does it matter? How does a hidden camera compare to a faked identity, when there's a story to be told? And what are the "best practices for undercover" reporting--or are there any?
