N233               Turning Local Memories Into National Stories

                                    MULTICULTURAL, PAC

 

Memories never die as long as someone tells the story.  This panel examines ways in which a media faculty can collaborate to find personal stories (existing within communities defined by ethnicity, work place, family, etc.) and give them a permanent and public voice by crafting them into electronic form for regional, national and international distribution.  Interviews, oral histories, home movies, sound recordings, photographs and memorabilia can be used to translate personal memories into polished media productions.

N236               Media Crossing Boundaries: Converging (or Diverging) Media Policies from around the Global Village

INTERNATIONAL, LAW & POLICY 

 

It has been suggested the broadcast industry may be in the twilight of national sovereignty as technology bypasses domestic policies and economics.  This panel examines the complexity of a variety of media policies from around the world to assess their similarities and differences.  As emerging delivery systems continue to push control of broadcasting beyond the purview of national governments, this examination of rationales for past and current media policies offers insight into the future of international policy and policymaking.

N233               Telecommunications Act of 1996: Annual Update

LAW & POLICY 

 

Now in 2002, some of the effects of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 can be seen clearly.  Many mergers in the telecommunications sectors have reduced the number of large players in the arena.  Some Baby Bells are now poised to become national telcom giants.  At the same time, the hope for competition between cable and telephone companies has not materialized.  Mass media landmark legislation is also worthy of discussion.  Broadcast television has not embraced the new digital television standard and high speed, broadband Internet service.  These highlights suggest that there are numerous aspects of current telecommunications policy that should be discussed at the annual update panel.

N235              The Portrayal and Impact of Body Images on Television

GENDER ISSUES, RESEARCH 

 

Obesity in the United States has doubled in the past decade.  Its severity is paralleled by eating disorders that are intended to yield overly thin results.  Recent research has begun to link media portrayals of body types with potential eating disorders.  This research has omitted the obesity element.  The panel will examine the full body image continuum, primarily as portrayed on television, and its implications for current and future research.

N233               Teaching Convergence in the Field

                                    NEWS

 

In 2001 the USF School of Mass Communications offered two unusual classes in multimedia journalism. The classes were taught at Media General's $40 million Tampa facility. Eight students in the school's journalism and telecommunications tracks took the first class, six students the second.  During the courses, students trained in reporting, writing, presentation skills and in the use of equipment needed for display on all three Media General platforms: The Tampa Tribune, WFLA television and the tbo.com

Internet site. Media General's staff worked with faculty to prepare students for the production of a major project. After two months of weekly classes and laboratory experience students proposed ideas for a major project. The project for the first term appeared on page one of the Sunday newspaper and was broadcast in the prime time newscast during the month of May.
