Health Communication Research Center to Create Black Newspaper Digital Archive
The Health Communication Research Center (HCRC) is a grant-funded center, under the auspices of the U of Missouri's School of Journalism and Sinclair School of Nursing, whose primary mission is to foster research to improve communication between the health care community and the public. The Center capitalizes on the U of Missouri's strengths in health care outreach, education and prevention and provides support to researchers conducting pilot studies and developing proposals for further extramural funding. This year, HCRC will begin work on the creation of a digital archive of black newspapers from around the nation.
This is a side project to the joint HCRC-St. Louis U National Cancer Institute (NCI)-funded grant to understand better the role that black newspapers play in providing information and motivation to make healthy decisions in black communities. The NCI-funded archive will consist of 4 years' worth of 24 black newspapers, resulting in a digital archive of nearly 5,000 papers.
"This bonus funding is especially gratifying because it means that the black newspapers we are collecting will be available forever as a snapshot of black news, commentary, and advertising early in the new century," said Glen T. Cameron, co-director of the HCRC and Maxine Wilson Gregory Chair in Journalism Research at the U of Missouri School of Journalism. "We expect that scholars from all over the world will take advantage of this resource."
The scanning will be done by the U of Missouri Systems Libraries Digital Archive Center. The digital scan files will be stored in the project office at the School of Journalism until additional funding is secured to make the digital files full-text searchable records. The HCRC will work in tandem with members of the newspaper and broadcast sequences, such as Dr. Earnest Perry, to seek foundation funding to enhance features of the archive and to promote it to researchers so that it is widely used. "We are very pleased to provide the opportunity for the Missouri School of Journalism to continue its leadership role in increasing diversity by providing a digital archive of thousands of pages of black newspapers," said Cameron.

Parent Talk Can Affect Teen Smoking"
By Lidia Wascowicz - United Press International
Research shows how parents talk to their adolescent children can affect whether the teens quit smoking. Co-author Glen Cameron of the University of Missouri, Columbia, says the study of 620 adolescents, ages 11 to 15, and their parents showed when a parent talked about smoking in an authoritative style, it had little effect on the child's views about the unhealthy habit. However, he says, there was a decreased likelihood a teen would smoke or intended to smoke in the near future when the discussion was coupled with a parenting style that encouraged children to develop ideas and opinions.
This clip also ran in the Washington Times (Washington,D.C.) and Express Newsline in India.
