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.

NEWS
For the last several years, the audience for

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.

not present papers, but state issues or themes for discussion. Each will be
limited to three minutes. The audience will be invited to contribute themes or
issues for discussion. The chair will moderate the discussion. The role of the
writer in interactive media is still poorly understood. The teaching of
interactive writing has not kept pace with the instruction in producing and
authoring.

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.

The development of Reality Television as a popular
genre of programming invites academic analysis in several areas relevant to
pedagogy. This program academically
examines Reality Television through four different perspectives: history,
regulation, formalism and criticism.
Through such academic examination, the program type is placed in
workable perspective. This forum seeks
to provide a pedagogical model of the genre analysis that can be a basis for
any classroom lecture/discussion.
