The Denver Post - Nana at 94: "You Keep Going!"
​
From the Great Depression to a tale of great encouragement, The Denver Post published Josh Nathan's profile of his 94-year-old grandmother on November 24, 2014.

She has outlived children and grandchildren, survived two surgeries in the past two years, and moved back into her room in mid-November 2014 after its first minor remodel in 64 years due to a broken pipe that led to two inches of standing raw sewage.

Can TV News Change History?
Book by Josh Nathan (2008), Published by VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller e.K.
During a period that gave birth to complete reliance on technology, Hurricane Katrina changed everything in more ways than one. For one of the first times in recent history, almost all communication in the area abruptly ceased. Throughout the nation, only one medium effectively operated to inform the nation: TV News. Very little information exists on the ramifications from a period in which one news medium dominates. Serving as a foundational citation in Communication, the analysis asks some tricky questions. Did reporters deceive the millions who were watching? Appealing to professionals working in History, Politics, and Communication, this book investigates the broadcast content to determine its accuracy and the public memory it created. It sheds light on what really happened during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and whether President Bush responded appropriately. Evaluating the industry's impact during a rare time when it faced no competition, this book is also directed at anyone considering a career in TV News and those already working within the industry.

Critical Theory: A Means for Transforming Organizational Development
Journal Paper by Josh Nathan & Art Whatley, Organization Development Journal, 24(2), 61-68.
There has been a paradigm shift in higher education and in the corporate world regarding Organization Development (O.D.). Historically, O.D. and managerial capitalism focused on valuing people as much as profit. This ethic transformed into financial capitalism: a market-driven mindset resulting in global corporate migration to find the cheapest labor and resources, maximizing shareholder value. The practice disregards human considerations while focusing on financial considerations. Critical Theory (CT) can be instrumental in reversing this trend by bringing a return to a humanistic orientation in the workplace.

How Broadcast News Shapes Memories of Severe Weather: Hurricane Katrina as a Defining Event
Poster Session with Josh Nathan at the National Weather Association's 2006 annual conference in Cleveland, OH.
Applying Maurice Halbwachs' theory of collective memory to CNN and FOX broadcasts and replicating an historical-based methodology, this study suggests TV news alters the American perception of severe weather. Hurricane Katrina is the only meteorological event in U.S. history when only broadcast news provided information to two out of every three people, creating an historically inaccurate memory of the storm that will potentially persist for centuries.
