 * How did the media portray John F. Kennedy's death to America?**

Hi Chelsea, When you say media will you be examining news outlets, magazines, or newspapers? I think to make this question specific if you focused possibly on a series of newspaper articles or magazines like Time or Look this could be very interesting, especially since this marks the 50th anniversary of his assassination this year. Crystal

I did not mean to send that email unfinished. So I will finish it here. I also think that she used the media to show how traumatically affect she was by his assassination. I am a little lost after this. I am thinking I might be able to make more claims once I find sources but I just wanted to run those by you. Thank you, Chelsea Bowman

Hey Chelsea,

I'm currently looking at some sources that might be able to help you in answering your question. As soon as I gather them I will send your way and provide you more direction. Crystal

Hi Chelsea,

There was a book that was released earlier this year and its an oral history project conducted by Arthur Schlesinger months after JFK's assassination. The recordings are located in D.H. Hill http://catalog.lib.ncsu.edu/record/NCSU2671998

You could possibly listen through some of these recordings to get insight into her emotions and feelings. You could also listen to some of these recordings on Youtube. Also, there was a interview conducted by Theodore White a week after the assassination in which Jackie revealed her emotions and feelings at the time. The JFK library has the transcript but I'm not sure if its digitized. However, you can gather bits of pieces of the interview from these two links: http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1314&dat=19950528&id=_qMpAAAAIBAJ&sjid=s_EDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6724,5219750 http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/jackie.txt Theodore White wrote a memoir which is also located in DH Hill that would provide parts of his interview with Jackie.

Thank you so much Crystal! This is a huge help. I definitely will. Best,

**Paul Harvey: The rest of the story 10/24/13**
Rough Draft: **I realized I did my draft completely wrong. I was pulling in new information!**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">When I first think about the thirty fifth president of the United States, I don’t think about all of the good and bad he did while president, I think about the legacy John F. Kennedy left behind. This man not only became the youngest president to serve but he also became the youngest president to die as well. America was devastated on November 22, 1963 when their beloved president lost his life to Lee Harvey Oswald. President Kennedy left this country with many accomplishments such as, the Peace Corps, his approach to the Cuban missile crisis, assisting states with high unemployment, and his support for space exploration.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">President Kennedy has been dead fifty years and people still talk about him today. America had to wait many years to hear from the first lady about her experiences living with her husband and how she dealt with his death. It wasn’t until a year after she died that first hand interviews were released. For so many years no one knew how Jackie felt about her husband and what she went through in the White House. Jackie depicted her feelings to the media in such a way to ultimately protect his legacy. Camelot was Jackie’s way to keep his presidency as an idealized memory. She initially did not want to enter the White House because she knew their marriage would change for the worse. In a way she was right. She not only lost her husband but many people made allegations that questioned Kennedy’s good name.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">By Jackie leaving the media spotlight, many questions, suspicions, and lies surfaced. Do we remember Kennedy as one of the greatest leaders of the free world? Or do we get distracted by allegations of affairs he had with women other than his wife so many years after his death? Through thick and thin Jackie Kennedy stood by his side throughout his presidency. Maybe Jackie knew about his affairs with other women but didn’t care because he was still her husband, her children’s father, and the most powerful man in the world.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Nancy Wurtzel and Cynthia Fagen introduce Mimi Alford to America as President Kennedy’s young mistress he saw during his presidency. He very well may have never cheated on his wife. He was the most powerful man in the world who was also handsome. Nancy Wurtzel says what everyone else was thinking during the allegations. “As I watched Mimi Alford make the media rounds, I couldn't help think about another woman who was infatuated with our 35th president.” What Jackie had worked so hard to protect was slowly starting to crumble. His legacy could be ruined but Mimi Alford wanted her story to be told.
