Get
a hands-on introduction to Avid’s news editing software, NewsCutter
XP, the standard for news editing. This session is designed to
let you dive hands-on right into the basic concepts of nonlinear
video editing, while learning the best-in-class tools to help
you maintain accuracy and meet tight deadlines in a broadcast-journalism
environment. You will work hands-on to identify and execute basic
editing steps, utilize creative tools to polish the story, and
become familiar with the concepts that today and tomorrow’s news
professionals need to know – whether they are reporters, producers,
or editors. This session is geared to educators familiar with
electronic journalism curricula,
but all participants can benefit from getting their hands on the
powerful Avid editing interface. Use the news editing software
that will prepare your students for their careers, and see for

Avid Xpress Pro: The Basics and
Beyond:
This
hands-on session will show some of the key features that set Avid
apart from other editing solutions. Although this hands-on session
assumes that you’re new to Avid editing, it also offers an excellent
overview of the latest version of Avid Xpress Pro for those using
earlier versions of Avid software. After a brief overview of Avid’s
approach to video editing, you'll work hands-on with Avid’s unique
multicam editing, keyboard-driven trimming, and one-touch automatic
color correction based on Avid Symphony. You’ll also work hands-on
with a real-world film project, using the same tools found in
the Academy Award-winning Avid Film Composer, explore 24P video
editing, and take a brief look at the power of Avid’s script-based
editing. Experience for yourself, hands-on, why Avid continues
to be the first choice of film and video professionals at the
highest levels of production.
Going
Deeper with Avid Xpress Pro:
Video
editing is just the beginning of the power of Avid Xpress Pro,
and this hands-on session will show how quickly and easily you
and your students can go even deeper into these powerful tools.
You’ll work hands-on with the most advanced software color correction
tools on the market, dig deeper into advanced text effects, and
save advanced 2D and 3D effects for easy reuse. You’ll even get
to explore Xpress Pro’s powerful audio features, working hands-on
with technology developed in Digidesign’s Academy Award-winning
ProTools. This hands-on session will show that you needn’t be
an expert to take advantage of Avid’s industry-defining expert
tools.

N203/204: Return to Public Affairs
Programming: Connecting
with Local Communities [Multicultural]
Public affairs programs have traditionally been the only avenues
for some members of under-represented groups to have their concerns
addressed. A relaxation of FCC rules however, led many
local TV stations to drop public affairs programs altogether. Now, the networks are taking up the public affairs
mantel again, with some fresh approaches such as PBS’s “Now” with
Bill Moyers, and “Flashpoints” with Brian Gumbel.
These programs added to the plethora of news magazines
highlight the importance of reporting national and local public
issues. This trend also puts many university media operations
that have sustained their PA shows, in a unique position to teach
both students and professional colleagues about the advantages
of connecting with communities through public affairs shows.

Act Update [L&P]
In June 2003, the Federal Communications Commission voted to further
deregulate the broadcast industry amid a highly charged public
debate about the pros and cons of deregulatory action.
More than three-quarters of a million Americans sent comments
to the FCC, largely opposing deregulating ownership rules.
Congress responded with threat to overturn, criticisms
against the cable industry had yet to materialize.
Meanwhile concerns about the federal push for obscenity
prosecutions and privacy versus national security issues raise
questions about constitutional rights. Our panel looks at the current state of the
industry and analyzes issues related to telecommunications policy.

Many changes are happening in the video and broadcast television

their audience. How can instructors plan for this change and still
work with the digital systems that are available today? What can
you do to insure that you can teach in either 4:3 or 16:9 formats
without busting the budget for format converters? We will attempt
to share with you the experiences that we have had both in teaching
digital television for the future and in training users in the
field as they experience this change.

N201/202: Fresh Thinking for
Information Technology Across the Curriculum
[Com. Tech., PAC]
One challenge of the modern communication curriculum is to keep
students form compartmentalizing their learning.
Often students see communication studies courses as unrelated
to production courses and vice versa.
This panel will discuss concrete ways to break down those
distinctions. Papers will
present innovations in the creation of information technology
courses and curricula, the use of information technology to enrich
criticism courses and research, and ways to incorporate humanistic
concerns into information technology production courses.

N219/220: Writing for Contemporary Portrayals of Gays

Not too long ago, the idea of airing a television program featuring

N201/202: Broadcast News Style
Books & Diversity: Freedom, Responsibility or
Control? [Multicultural]
The Radio-Television News Directors Association (RTNDA) board
was recently asked to endorse a style-book from the National Lesbian
and Gay Journalists Association (NLGJA—the request was tabled
without action). Other journalist groups, including the National
Association of Black Journalists (NABJ), the Native American Journalists
Association (NAJA), the Asian-American Journalists Association
(AAJA) and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ)
have similar guides. What do they say to broadcast journalists,
and what should we be teaching our students? This session will
serve as both a presentation panel and an open forum to discuss
a number of issues important to broadcast journalism style and
diversity, including the political landscape and cultural values
they reflect, issues of credibility and consensus, and the symbolic
implications of their guidelines.

N203/204: Copyright Policy to
Operation Handbooks: A Roundtable Examination of Policies, Practices,
& Procedures to Assist Student Media Advisors [SMA]
This roundtable discussion will examine policies, practices, and
procedures that are pertinent to student media advisors.
This roundtable will examine: 1) the latest legal maneuvering
regarding streaming audio and what it means to college media,
2) the difference in copyright policy where production goes no
further than the classroom versus the student production that
is distributed beyond the campus, 3) operating the broadcast facility
as a lab to prepare future media managers, and 4) ways to create
and enhance operations handbooks for both campus radio and television
news operations.

Media & Telecommunications Management: Finding Common Ground
Between Curricular Approaches [M&S]
At the 2003 AEJMC conference
in Kansas City, it was proposed that we establish a task force
of media and telecommunications management educators to explore
teaching strategies and curriculum issues that are particular
to this field. This panel represents the second phase of a
year long initiative and will focus on three sets of questions:
1. How does the teaching
of media or telecommunications management fit into your larger
media/telecommunications curriculum?
2. What is the basic outline
of your course in media or telecommunications management and what
are some areas that you specialize in?
Is there an abiding philosophy that guides you?
3. Are there one or two
special projects or papers that highlight your course?

Untangling the Gordian Knot in Programming by Getting Back

Critics of broadcast programming in the U.S. and other nations
have pointed out the decline in the value of content since the
early days of the medium. Perhaps the most remembered criticism that received
extensive coverage was Newt Minnow’s “Vast Wasteland” speech. In untangling the Gordian Knot, what is being
done in various countries to address this issue of quality content. This panel views this issue from an international

N229/230: Practitioners to Strategists: Rethinking the
Scope of Undergraduate “Education in Communication [Research,
Broadcast Research Initiative]
The nature of undergraduate education in electronic media is constantly
evolving to respond to marketplace demands. We find a growing
industry demand for undergraduates that can think strategically
about media applications. In fact, a majority of the proprietary
research in this country is conducted by those with undergraduate
degrees and is typically applied, rather than theoretical research.
This level of problem solving has traditionally been associated
with graduate studies and a significant number of undergraduate
programs do not offer opportunities or rewards to the undergraduate
student in this arena. This panel explores the current trends
in communication that have led to this marketplace demand for
our majors, how undergraduate research is currently being mentored
in communication programs, how it is being mentored in other disciplines
and offers a proposal for an online undergraduate research journal
in communication.

Hiring at Broadcast Stations Under the New FCC EEO Rules [Gender,

“The Future of Minority Hiring at Broadcast Stations Under the
New FCC EEO Rules” will examine the Federal Communication Commission’s
Equal Employment Opportunity rules.
Some minority groups feel that the FCC is merely asking
for paperwork instead of any concrete rules that could lead to
minority hiring at radio and television stations. Recent surveys show the percentage of minority
hires are dropping with the exception of women. So what does this mean to broadcast majors at
our universities and colleges?

N211/212: The Political Economy
of Media & the Reporting of the War in Iraq [History,
L&P]
The purpose of this panel is to examine the trend of deregulation
and the concentration of ownership in relatively few corporate
hands and examine its implications for political debate, freedom
of speech and freedom of the media. Many commentators express anxiety about the
trend. News is a for-profit
enterprise whose aim is to deliver audiences to advertisers by
providing soft news and entertainment rather than political questioning
and debate. In particular, we should examine the reporting
of the run up to the Iraq invasion and its aftermath. Was the public interest served? To what extent do government sources such as
the White House and the Pentagon control news?
Is the internet a meaningful alternative? What are the economic pressures of production
that determine the realities of daily newspapers and broadcast
news?
