N232: Diversity Across the Curriculum: Creating Better Classes and Better Broadcasters
(00110)
[Gender, News, CCA, Multicultural]
The panelists will present information based on the importance of providing an authentic voice to people of all cultural backgrounds in academia and in the media. Diversity issues are not yet being adequately incorporated into mass media curricula. A 1998 study (K. L. Endres & T. L. Lueck, Journalism and Mass Communication Educator, 53) noted the difficulties in charting diversity in the curriculum and reported studies showing little progress in journalism programs with regard to multi-cultural education. This panel reports on diversity programs and offers guidelines for including diversity issues in all mass media courses.

[News]
The relationship between college interns and television newsrooms has been a good one for years, perhaps decades. The internships were formally instituted with expectations, legalities and sometimes even pay. Recently some TV newsrooms that were once so hospitable to college interns will no longer accept them because management thinks it’s vulnerable to litigation. Is this a trend, and if so, what role should BEA and RTNDA play in this discussion?

There are skills associated with broadcasting with high-ticket tools: HD acquisition, production tickets and live trucks. Some colleges can afford these items, most cannot.

N238: Shifting communities and identity claims at online chat rooms (00131)

The Internet is a fast changing medium through which many aspects of our contemporary economic, social, and cultural life are organized. The use of qualitative methods to focus on how community formation and political mobilization occur during online communication is relevant to understanding how the Internet operates as a public sphere in which users can “vocalize” their interests, consumer habits, and values. Panel papers will concentrate on qualitative methodologies and findings used to observe communities and identity display central to online organization, maintenance, and reproduction.

N239: An Overview of Moving Image Archives: Accessing the Television Record (00133)
[BOARD]
Around the country many television stations are celebrating their fiftieth anniversary, coinciding with BEA’s. Ironically, while BEA is dedicated to the study and research of broadcasting, most TV stations have thought little about preservation - and have discarded much of the visual record. This session provides an overview of the efforts of moving image archives (local, regional and national) in collecting, preserving and making accessible television, broadcast and other moving image materials to the academic communities and to the public. Included will be screenings of materials from the institutions represented. Moderator: Steven Davidson, Florida Moving Image Archive

N235: Broadcast Reform in the Middle East: 50 Years of Changes and Challenges (00172)
[International]
This panel will explore the implication of broadcast reform in the Middle East over the past 50 years with a look at what’s to come in the next 50 years. Traditional Middle East broadcast networks no longer dominate the minds of the audience in the Arab World. With the introduction of new cyberspace technologies in the region, Middle East media is in a state of reforming itself. Such television and radio networks as Al-Jazeera, Al-Arabiya, MTV, Al-Hurra and Radio Sawa dominate Arabic and Muslim audiences. The panel will also delve into the effects of the digital age on societies in the Middle East with a specific references to the political, the cultural and social debate surrounding media, and will also discuss issues of reform of radio and television news and entertainment.

N236: Digital Video Recorders at Five Years: Is the Revolution Still Coming? (00174)
[Comm. Tech.]
After their introduction in 1999, Digital Video Recorders were the subject of much speculation in the television industry. Although diffusion of DVRs has been steady, they have not spread at the rapid rate predicted by many observers. Part of the problem has been the limited availability of DVRs compatible with cable systems. This panel explores the use of these devices in light of the national roll out of set-top box DVRs by Comcast and Cox. The “cablelization” of DVRs raises several questions: What is the impact on diffusion? How is advertising influenced by commercial skipping? How is audience behavior influenced by menu-driven scheduling? A second focus of the panel is the impact of DVRs on televised sports, presenting the results of both survey and observational data on how self-avowed sports vans utilize DVRs in their consumption of television sports. Academic research and proprietary industry data converge in this panel.

“Following the Audience into a New Media Era”
As the marketplace considers the many potential opportunities presented by new forms of media (and, thanks to technology, new ways to use exiting media), many questions persist about how audiences are tracked and what metrics are most appropriate in measuring a medium’s value. The panel will explore these many issues in terms of how audiences will be measured in light of these new environments, and what information about the audience’s media use will be most valuable.

The last presidential debate of the 2004 election was held at Arizona State University on October 13, 2004.

N240: New Directions in Teaching Nonlinear Post-Production (00178)
[BOARD]
As nonlinear editing systems deliver increasing capabilities at lower price points, the postproduction environment and workflow have been dramatically affected. The new landscape has challenged film and video departments to address these new realities and modify the way they teach digital postproduction. This panel will address the impact of the digital transformation in both the classroom and in professional postproduction environments (students’ future employers) as well as the pedagogical implications that may result from this transformation.

N242: Creeping Commercialism in TV News (00186)
[News]
Television newscasts across the country commonly devote news time to the opening of the latest Krispy Kreme donut shop, or send live crews to report on the lines outside the new IKEA store. Many stories now end with tags referring viewers to the station’s web site, where links are available to the products and practitioners mentioned in the stories. Commercialism and conflicts of interest are creeping into television newscasts. The RTNDA Code of Ethics appears to be ignored in many instances. This panel will examine this alarming trend and debate solutions.

N238: Truth or Dare: Making Television News Relevant to 21st Century College-Age Students
(00190)
[News]
Television news broadcasters in the great tradition of Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite, and David Brinkley seem to have passed from the scene—their legacies barely remembered by today’s college-age students. These young people are more likely to get their news from late-night comedian/talk-show hosts, Internet bloggers, or The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. While Stewart’s show already has garnered numerous awards, there remains a basic problem: it’s a ‘fake’ news show, a parody of TV’s ‘empty suits’ that younger, cynical viewers tend to reject. Should electronic media journalists persist in presenting “truth” as it traditionally has been presented, or “dare” something very different? This panel will try to answer this question and other essential questions.

Many studies have tried to link excessive television viewing with excessive attentional deficits in today’s youth. Has television created a cause and effect, or are current trends in programming simply a matter of more accurately reflecting the needs and desires of today’s media-centric students? Discussion will follow the rise of MTV-like programs and trace anecdotal and empirical studies showing ability of today’s students to comprehend and recall increasingly more rapidly presented visual and audio information.

N235: Fox : A Fair and Balanced Look at Fox News (00196)

Results from fresh research on the content of Fox News and how it compares with other cable channels. In addition, Fox News Channel (FNC) has launched a nationwide contest for undergraduate broadcast journalism students called “Fox News College Challenge” with an impressive $10,000 team scholarship. But a growing number of faculty at a cross section of accredited programs are concerned about the ideological underpinnings of FNC. Is it fair to Fox? What is fair to our students? It will be a lively debate with an opportunity to hear all voices.
