Dr. George L. Daniels has been named the Broadcast Education Association’s inaugural Faculty Fellow of Diversity and Inclusion.
Dr. Daniels is a national leader and established scholar on issues related to race, gender, and diversity, across the professional fields of journalism and media and within the related disciplines of higher education. His research and peer-reviewed publications span more than twenty years and include a litany of competitive papers, journal articles, and book chapters.

BEA2021 Will Be Virtual in April 2021
BEA2021 will be a fully virtual conference. The great news is that because we reached this decision in early September, we have lots of time to make BEA2021 a strong, unique, valuable virtual experience. Paper and panel submitters can move forward with confidence, knowing that they’ll be participating in a virtual format, and not worrying about travel risks or expenses.
We are pleased to announce that the BEA2021 panel and paper submission site is up and running! To best accommodate participants in our virtual conference, the panel submission deadline is a little later than usual: Friday, October 9th.
