When did publishing move to the desktop?
In the mid-1990s. PageMaker shipped in 1985 and QuarkXPress in 1987, but all the little bits and pieces you needed to do truly pro-grade work on the desktop wasn't around until probably 1997.
You know those pretty pages in magazines that have full-bleed photos with white type knocked out of them? Here's how to do one on a 1989-vintage DTP system.
You first need a customer relationship with a Computerized Electronic Publishing System. There were several brands of these, but toward the end exactly two machines counted: the Scitex Response and the Hell Chromacom. They cost over a million dollars each - not counting the quarter-million-dollar scanner you also had to have - and the hardware was completely different, so no one had both. If your vendor ran Scitex you had to run QuarkXPress, and if they ran Hell you ran PageMaker. You would send them your transparencies - there weren't digital cameras then and "real" publications worked off 4x5 chromes, which are truly lovely things - and scaling data, and they prepared your scans. Then they'd send you a "for position only" file - a low-res image you could put in your layout.
Once you got the file done, you'd send it to the prepress house. Now the fun starts: A Scitex system (I never worked on Hell but I know the Scitex workflow very well) has two "layers" - CT and LW. CT means "continuous tone." This is your scans. LW means "line work." This is your type, vector graphics, boxes that you draw, and so on. The link between the world of Scitex and the world of Mac is called Visionary. It relies on a computer in your Scitex system called "Visionary Interpreter for PostScript," or VIP. These cost about $100,000 (that's in addition to the million you already spent on the Response 300 system) and they weren't perfect; QuarkXPress could do things the VIP system absolutely couldn't decipher, and when you sent it one of those things it would crash the VIP box. If you got it right, though, VIP would generate a LW file you'd then import into your Response imaging station. You could then manipulate the LW to your heart's content, and finally output the file onto your Scitex laser plotter.
Right now I know what you're saying: this is the craziest thing you ever heard of. Well yeah, it would be except that Scitex has far more control over the dots it lays down than a new system could ever dream of. On the desktop we're still stuck with 8 bits per channel, for all intents and purposes - RGB values run from 0 to 255, right? And a nice new fancy CTP rig will do 2540 dpi. Scitex uses 24 bits per channel - over 16 million steps per channel - and, IIRC, a plot resolution of over 5000 dpi. Multiply by four (because there's four colors on a press, ja?) and you see where you're at. Scitex gradients absolutely Do Not Have Banding. Unintentional jagged edges don't exist on Scitex film. It took a very long time for high-end customers to accept DTP.

susan kidd is in modern studies
According to this link, http://www.kmov.com/video/featured-videos/Where-are-they-now-Susan-Kidd-70366102.html, she's not working anymore. Officially retired and enjoying it. NBC4 is screwed up. I wonder if they've lost any ratings. They forced a lot of good folks out: George Michael, Arch Campbell, Susan Kidd. And their broadcasting in standard definition!! What is up with that?
Yellow Journalism means not caring about the actual important news and selling eye catching headlines which help in selling more newspapers.
The Cuba rebellion was used by yellow journalists who made sensational headlines giving a fabricated account (sometimes outright lies) of the rebellion resulting in a public opinion sicked by the atrocities and bloodshed caused by the rebellion. However the role of yellow journalism in causing the war is arguable as 'the yellow journalism' did not have much impact outside New York.
What is destroying the music industry?
There is no "death of the music industry", but there is, or will be, a "death of the music recording industry".
the "Music industry" refers to all things having to do with making and performing music for financial gain which may include live performances and commissioned works. Musical performances and commisioned works will never cease to exist, at least in the foreseeable future. The "Music recording industry" on the other hand, is an industry which appeared in the early 20th century and functioned primarily as a music distribution system.
The Music Recording Industry appeared because the recording of music, fabrication and duplication of audio media (LPs/Records/Tapes/Compact Discs) and the transportation of this media could only be performed economically by large-scale enterprises at the time. It was simply not possible for average individuals to acquire the very large and very expensive equipment required to perform the recording, reproduction and distribution of musical works and performances.
By the turn of the 21st century, however, the equipment required to record, duplicate and distribute music became small, cheap and commonplace as a result of computerization and the emergence of the world wide web. Realizing that these new technologies had completely replaced the relevance and individual's need of the Music Recording Industry, the RIAA began a campaign of legal action in an attempt to stop, or at least slow, the prevalence of music piracy which resulted from this quantum leap in technology.
By or before the mid 21st century the Music Recording Industry will cease to exist in it's 20th century form and record companies will either vanish, or will change from being based on production and distribution to being based on promotion and advertising.

How did journalism affect the Holocaust?
In Nazi Germany the genocide was, at least in principle, secret and was officially referred to as Resettlement in Eastern Europe. It was not reported. In Allied countries some reports appeared in the press and on radio. The implication that journalism "affected" the holocaust is odd. Perhaps you could add some context.

How is family portrayed on the media?
Family is portrayed as a bond of healthy growth and good relationships for family and society in general. In reality, that "healthy growth & good relationship" is often abused; children who have their "college" paid for by their parents, cars purchased by their parents, and grown children living at home and NOT paying their way (rent) and/or NOT WORKING (no job), and borrowing money (often not re-paying it)...are future adults of that particular nation...that have not EARNED their living...but have learned to "sponge" off of others. In the real world...when someone says, "We don't want to move; we want to stay near family..." that translation really means, "We need a place to stay (live), we need to borrow money (gift), and we need a baby-sitter..." As a song from the 1960's used to say, "...What's LOVE got to do with it!" Another famous saying, "Catch a fish for a man, you feed him for ONE day. Teach him to fish, you feed him forever (his life time)." Sponging off of one's family is feeding him for ONE day. When the parents finally pass away, that off-spring may not survive...he never learned how to. If he does survive, he may end up being a burden to society.
Has any one heard of Larry Duncan the Boxer?
"Larry Duncan" The name rings a bell in my memory.
There was a heavyweight named Larry Duncan. From Winston-Salem N.C. and fought the circuit from 1972 to 1979. He would of been "nice" pairing with John L. Gardner at the time but, Duncan may have had a tad bit too much class for Gardner to handle him. He ended up with six losses being KO'd 3 times.
