Strengthening Pathways: From High School to the Two-Year College to the University and Multimedia/Entertainment Industry Workplace (Session ID: 401)

(Courses, Curricula & Administration | Two Year/Small Colleges)
"Strengthening Pathways" was an experimental, state-funded project designed to link secondary and post-secondary faculty and counselors with Multimedia and Entertainment businesses via interviews with industry contacts, and worksite experiences (e.g. job shadowing, on-site training, collaboration on worksite projects) in order to provide participating faculty and counselors with a comprehensive understanding of current industry practices and requirements. Post-worksite experiences resulted in six new, enhanced, and/or revised and articulated courses that provide students with access to curriculum that has direct application in the workplace. Results will be shared and compared with similar projects that attempt to strengthen the alignment of film/broadcast/multimedia courses between high school, college and the workplace.

Given the apparently contradictory nature of the “rules” about writing in/for Hollywood, how do we, as teachers, convey the importance of “the rules” to our students? This panel will consider these rules, the extent to which they are changing – or to what degree they are ‘breakable’ – in terms of both writing and selling scripts.

Documentary: From Creation to DVD Distribution (Session ID: 451)

(Documentary | Research)
Many scholars who attend BEA produce documentaries as part of their tenure portfolio. But producing a documentary isn’t enough. Some faculty need to produce films that reach national distribution for it to count toward tenure. This panel includes filmmakers/professors who are tenured or tenure-track and discuss the step-by-step process of getting the film made (which includes grant writing), into film festivals, winning awards, picked up by a television distributor and eventually DVD distribution. But more importantly it’s a panel that discusses how your research (the film) is used as a tool in the classroom to promote both your research and teaching.

Contemporary television audiences are beginning to question the distinction between entertainment and information regarding the reality television genre. This panel aims to explore these concerns by examining power and gendered representations of women featured on reality programs. Television research has continuously criticized hegemonic representations of female characters, as these portrayals provide a reflection of the values and ideologies within a society. These representations may potentially influence women’s lives by providing a cultural understanding of what it means to be a woman.

The Newhouse School at Syracuse University recently overhauled its curriculum and one of the more contentious issues in the review process concerned the best way to work diversity into the curriculum. ACEJMC standards require accredited schools to demonstrate that racial, ethnic and gender diversity are throughout the curriculum, but previous self-studies revealed how unevenly we were meeting this goal. This panel, with professors representing three departments, administration, and accreditation visits, will discuss some of the challenges the Newhouse School faced and some of the concrete steps we took to better infuse diversity throughout our curriculum.

Is the Television News Package Passe'? (Session ID: 340)

(News)
In the online era, much news video is without reporter narrative. TV news often just does live vo/sots or reporter debriefs. Newspaper web video storytelling often relies on only sound bites. Yet in broadcast news classes, we continue to teach the TV news package as the high end of the TV news genre. Is the TV news package dying? What is the future of video news storytelling and how do we teach it?

Prime Time Television in the 21st Century: Where the Past Meets the Future
Images in the media and how these images are related to people's conceptions of social reality (cultivation analysis). The presentation will focus on my research that has examined images in prime time network broadcast programming for the past 40 years. Portrayals of aging, gender roles, occupations, minorities, and violence will be discussed. The presentation will provide a historical perspective of these television portrayals. It will then examine the changes in portrayals that have taken place during the first decade of the 21st century and what might be contributing to these changes. Theoretical and policy implications will be examined. The presentation will specifically focus on cultivation theory discussing how television images continue to relate to viewers’ conceptions of social reality.

Audience use of Social Networking Sites and New Technologies to Form Communities and Impact Media Programming Decisions (Session ID: 391)

(Interactive Media and Emerging Technologies | International)
The panelists present research and case studies on audience use of social networking sites and new technologies as a means of communicating about a media text (e.g. film, TV show, talk radio, etc). While audiences often form communities in these social networking sites revolving around their love of a show, actor, or common interest (e.g. expressions of grief) the sites can also take on an advocacy role when fans band together to exert pressure on media producers regarding programming decisions. This panel explores, for example, how fans of “30 Rock”, “Life on Mars” and soap opera "The Guiding Light" have created complex networks on Twitter, Facebook, AfterEllen and fansites/boards devoted to specific characters on the shows. The momentum behind these audience networks may initially be to celebrate a program but often advance to advocacy for plot and character developments as well as showcasing amateur authors of fan fiction related to the program. The audience movement has grown so large and so vocal that media critics and network executives have taken notice and have, at times, altered the media product as a result.

Should We Bother Teaching Media Aesthetics? (Session ID: 341)

(Production Aesthetics & Criticism | Courses, Curricula & Administration)
Are all the production rules becoming obsolete? Have visual aesthetics hit the ultimate low or are they being morphed into a whole new perspective? What’s the current perception of the importance of video quality? Much of our teaching includes insisting on our students knowing and adhering to shot composition rules. But now that everyone can record video and post it on the internet, we’re seeing a marked change what’s acceptable. The panelists in this session offer their insights on current visual trends and practices.

Annual Telecom Update (Session ID: 377)

What should we expect from a new FCC under a Democratic administration? The new FCC Chair has stated that, “with each passing day, communications devices and networks become more essential to the fabric of the daily lives of all Americans.” As we move into the second decade of the new millennium, it is a good time to reflect on current happenings in media law and policy. Was the DTV transition as painless as the FCC said? Will the long awaited competition between telcos and cable may become a reality? Will the FCC’s proceedings on Localism provide impetus for broadcasters to better serve local communities? Are privacy laws likely to change under the new administration? Will the Courts make new rulings about indecency? This year’s Telecom Update panel will attempt to answer these and other questions.

Academic programs in electronic journalism, sports broadcasting and media production require major investments in hardware and software. Programs need to maintain their current infrastructure. At the same time faculty want to stay up to date with an industry that continues to change at an incredible pace. This is getting harder to do in an environment with less funding. Also, some administrators and colleagues come from other disciplines. That can put capital-intensive purchases on the back burner. A panel of faculty including present and former department chairs discuss how to better navigate in this scare world.

One Job - Many Hats: Prepping Students for Careers Requiring Varying Expertise (Session ID: 346)

(Courses, Curricula & Administration | Law & Policy)
As visual communication industries continue an evolution towards convergence, many production companies and media firms expand their services to include content distribution across multiple platforms. This convergence of services requires a staff of individuals with expertise in multiple technologies and skill sets. It is therefore imperative to design a curriculum that reflects this change in industry and has specific ramifications for students entering the fields of journalism, creative services, graphic design, and video production. The panel will discuss specific examples of curriculum and projects designed to prepare students to develop multiple skill sets in visual communication for cross platform distribution.

Transforming the Classroom and the Curriculum with Technology: Case Studies and Research Findings (Session ID: 445)

(Courses, Curricula & Administration | Interactive Media and Emerging Technologies)
The Courses, Curricula and Administration Division’s goal is to support educators in improving course materials and in generally updating curricula. This kind of support is especially important as educational institutions face new competition from on-line universities, deal with significant budgetary challenges and respond to a new generation of students. Fiere (1998) contends that the primary goal for contemporary educators is to create new relationships between students and teachers that significantly alter the educational process such that students are uniquely empowered. To this end, teachers must take on new responsibilities in the educational process. Increasingly this requires the integration of various technologies into pedagogical strategies. Moreover, in successfully employing technology to transform student-teacher relationships, teachers will simultaneously respond to the vital interests of increasingly technologically literate students (Berenfeld, 1996). This panel will present 1) case studies related to video production assignments on cell phones and technologically open classrooms and 2) research findings that assess the use of computer mediated curriculums and asynchronous learning.

You Can't Script a Documentary... Can You? (Session ID: 457)

(Documentary | Writing)
Frequently, the script is the most underrated aspect of the documentary process. Many hold that the documentary-making process should be fluid and organic, whereby the filmmaker experiences the film as she makes it. However, in most cases, the documentary filmmaker finds herself asking the question, “What should I shoot?” Here, it is imperative to start out with a well-written script (or, a pre-shoot or shooting script), whether or not things change during the shooting process or during the editing process (the post-shoot or edit script). Often preparing a script beforehand can make the difference between a bad film and a good film. Or, at best, a good film and a great film!

Podium Session II: W. James Potter (Session ID: 494)

(All Convention)
W. James Potter. Ph.D., University of California, Santa Barbara
“How Should Scholars Define ‘Mass’ in the Changing World of 2010.”

The challenge of clearly defining the “mass media” has largely eluded scholars ever since the term was invented. All definitional elements that have been tried – size of audience, kind of audience, type of message and technological channel – have proven unsatisfying. Now with the segmentation of audiences into smaller niches, the hybridization of message genres, and the blurring of lines that used to distinguish channels of transmission, the challenge of defining mass media has grown significantly more difficult. Or has it? Perhaps there is a way to cut through the complexity and capture the essence of the phenomenon in a simple definition.

Introduction by: Roger Cooper, Ph.D. Director of Media Arts and Studies, Ohio University

W. James Potter earned Ph.D.’s from both Indiana University, in qualitative methods, and Florida State University, in quantitative methods and communication theory. He has published more than 100 scholarly articles and chapters primarily in the areas of media content and effects. He is the former editor of the Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic Media. He has published 19 books, including Media Literacy, in its 5th edition. His most recent book, Arguing for General Framework for Mass Media Scholarship, reflects his current focus on developing the conceptual tools to help mass media research construct a higher profile for their scholarly field.

Sports Division Business Meeting (Session ID: 480)

(Sports)
Welcome to BEA's Sports Division, established in April 2008.  For a long time sports wore the tag of the "toy store." No serious study of the media could include a look at sports.  But, times have changed. Academics as well as non-academics have seen that, for better or worse, sports are an essential element of U.S. and worldwide culture. This has led to a surge in academic organizations that recognize and embrace sports as a legitimate intellectual pursuit.  A number of academic journals have been developed all devoted to sports, and schools that have sports-related classes, and even majors, are growing in number as we speak.  All of those things helped spur BEA to begin a Sports Division.
