TV reality shows comprise 1/3 of primetime broadcast programming.  Their game show structure features contestants vying for prizes (money, jobs, vacations, dates, spouses), eliminated through contests (battling other teams, other individuals, and sometimes judges) to determine a winner.  Should this genre be covered in college classes, to help students obtain their first jobs?  Or do reality shows’ values of degradation, ostracization, and cruelty make them unacceptable to academia?  Out panelists will vote “yes” or “no.”

What are some of the differences in student media organizations that may require different approaches and structures to management?   Does a broadcast organization work best with a paid professional staff and only student volunteers, or should it be managed by a faculty advisor and paid student staff?  What different management challenges are there for cable access versus low‑power television, or television versus radio?  These and related questions will be discussed by a faculty and student panel of Media Managers, each with experience in different types of organizations.  This will be a continuation of last year's panel structure that provided a breakout session into small group discussions for attendees to ask questions of the panel participants.

For many students, anything that happened before 1999 is ancient history.  This dilemma can be especially problematic for students who aim to be reporters upon graduation.  Panelists will highlight their own experiences in field reporting and in the classroom in regard to history application.  They will illustrate why students need a frame of reference from which to understand and report the news. Panelists will also suggest ways to incorporate history into general journalism courses.

This session will not only provide an overview of many of the effects in the package, but will also include tips and tricks that make applying them to a project even easier. Sapphire Plug-ins will be shown running on After Effects, Final Cut Pro and Xpress Pro. Examples of nationally broadcast programs in which Sapphire Plug-ins were used will be highlighted.

The acceptance of new media in society is forcing traditional Radio-TV/Broadcast News programs to integrate new skills and technologies into an already complex curriculum.   It’s difficult to determine the best way to expand the course offerings, especially within the constraints of accreditation, without sacrificing vital traditional production principles.  This discussion will explore successes and failures experienced at three different institutions.  Open discussion with audience members will be encouraged.

There is a wide latitude in what constitutes a so-called “core curriculum” for Media and Telecommunications Management courses. Some scholars believe that a lack of pedagogical consistency weakens the strength of our degree programs by confusing the general public and potential employers and runs the risk of becoming marginalized by more well-established university programs. This panel brings together scholars from many backgrounds to find common ground for a core curriculum.

The goal of good writing is to effectively convey a vision and a story. Too much detail, not enough detail, mistaking blocking for action are common mistakes. The panel will undertake the challenge of teaching students how to write dynamic and powerful description and action and explore successful examples of translating the word on the page to scenes on film.

                      N234:   Defining and Assessing the Mission of College Radio (00285)

      [BIRD, SMA]

 

One of the strengths of college radio is its variety of programming formats, organizational structures, and learning opportunities.  This has also meant that there are few specific ways to define and access a station’s role within its institution.  Participants will address the challenges of creating and implementing meaningful missions/goal statements; examine how administrative authority and curricular-integration practices impact efforts to define the college radio station relationship to the institution; and discuss nationalized assessment standards.

The separately proposed “Media and Telecommunications Management: Defining the Core Curriculum” would bring together a number of noted scholars in the field to suggest common elements for a core curriculum in this course. That discussion should set the stage for action in the form of designing a basic curriculum plan and a marketing strategy for the purpose of achieving greater coherence among the nation’s media management and telecommunications programs. This scholar task force would do just that. It would bring the voices of all other attendees into the discussion, immediately build on, develop, and put into written form a new vision of the media telecommunications management course.
