    Out of the Black Patch

    Effie Marquess Carmack (1885-1974) grew up in the tobacco-growing region of southern Kentucky known as the Black Patch. As an adult she moved to Utah, back to Kentucky, to Arizona, and finally to California. Economic necessity primarily motivated Effie and her husband's moves, but her conversion to the Mormon Church in youth also was a factor. Throughout her life, she was committed to preserving the rural, southern folkways she had experienced as a child. She and other members of her family were folk musicians, at times professionally, and she also became a folk poet and artist, teaching herself to paint. In the 1940s she began writing her autobiography and eventually also completed a verse adaptation of it and an unpublished novel about life in the Black Patch.Much of Effie's story is a charming memoir of her vibrant childhood on a poor tobacco farm. She describes a wide variety of folk practices, from healing and crafts to children's games. Her family's life included the backbreaking labor and economic trials of raising tobacco, but it was enriched by a deep familial heritage, communal music, creative play, and traditional activities of many kinds. After the family converted to the Mormon Church, religious study and devotion became another important dimension. Effie's account of Mormon missions contributes to the little-known record of Latter-day Saint attempts to establish a presence in the South.After marrying, the Carmacks moved west, eventually landing in the Arizona desert, where Effie took up painting in earnest. Her art began to attract modest attention, which brought exhibits, awards, and a new career teaching others what she had taught herself. After the Carmacks later retired to Atascadero, California, Effie became a more active and public folk singer as well

    Finding readers in the blogosphere: A project building an audience for a blog at the intersection of mothering and beekeeping http://www.bumblehive.com

    Professional project report submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Journalism from the School of Journalism, University of Missouri--Columbia.Women publish nearly four million blogs that fall under the genre known as Mommy Blogs: written by women, for women, primarily on the subjects of family life and parenting. Many Mommy Bloggers count readers in the thousands. For my research, I sought to answer the questions: How do Mom Bloggers attract readers? Do bloggers with strong followings actively pursue their readers? How do readers find bloggers? During the Spring of 2013, I researched audience building within the genre and interviewed 10 Mommy Bloggers about their experiences. The theoretical framework I used is the Uses and Gratifications theory, which is conducive to research on blog audience because bloggers are blog readers themselves, and bloggers know a lot about the identity and motivations of their readers because of the interactive nature of the platform. The method I used is interviewing, with open-ended questions, in order to give respondents an opportunity to relay information unprompted. The research reveals six primary tactics used to attract readers: 1. Reading and commenting on other blogs, with the expectation of reciprocity. 2. Promoting their blog on Facebook and Twitter. 3. Posting at least once a week. 4. Writing with a consistent voice. 5. Specializing in a niche topic. 6. Guest posting and publishing widely.Includes bibliographic references
