INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT (Session ID: 34)
(Management & Sales)
Today, innovation is about much more than developing new products.
It is about reinventing business and organizational processes and building entirely new markets to meet untapped customer needs. Innovation is also about taking organizations built for efficiency
and rewiring them for creativity and growth. Innovation is important
because it creates a long-term lasting advantage for an organization. It allows a business to develop and improve on its existing product line as well as preparing the ground work for the future. This panel session will examine the importance of innovation (and innovative thinking) to the long term success of today’s business and nonprofit companies. Specifically, it will address two important questions. First, who are today’s innovative leaders in the field of media and telecommunications. Second, what are some of the best strategies being employed by some of these same companies for initiating and sustaining long term innovation. Special attention will be given to case study analysis.

Communication in 2008 has also been affected by the historic emergence of new voices, represented not only by historic candidacies of female and minority presidential contenders but also by the new voters, particularly young voters, who have been energized by these new voices and by the new technologies that allow their active participation in the democratic process.

Ethics and How to Get Hired — or NOT (Session ID: 136)

As the Baby Boom generation grabs their golden parachutes and floats off into the sunset of retirement, jobs should soon be opening up at universities nationwide like the Wicked Witch's poppies in THE WIZARD OF OZ... Right? This may be an overstatement of the case. However, aspiring media academics should have some introduction to the arena beyond what their well-intentioned dissertation committees say. This panel aims to provide that intro.

Ethics of Voice and Worldview in the ‘Personal Essay’ Documentary: A Case Study of Three Student Documentary Films Shot at the Same Location (Session ID: 150)
(Documentary)
Considering the Michael Moore-“personal essay” style of documentary, this panel will explore the ethical challenges which four university students experienced while producing three short documentaries in London, England, in the summer, 2008. Session explores each student’s unique documentary “journey” while visiting and shooting at the famed Speaker’s Corner in Hyde Park, and reveals the ethical challenges that filmmaker “voice/perspective” raises, and how accuracy and fairness can collide with bias and propaganda in documentary filmmaking.
Additionally:
A portion of each student’s short documentary will be screened. The working titles include: “Our Look into the Eyes of Denial,” “My Apathy: A Personal Story,” and “My Confrontation with Islam.” The clips will be followed by a summary of pertinent ethical issues, focusing on the values, ethical principles, and loyalties driving the content decisions of each student documentary filmmaker. Audience questions and comments will close out this session.

Exporting American Education: US Universities Open Middle Eastern Campuses (Session ID: 66)
(International)
US colleges and universities are broadening their institution’s borders and opening campuses in Middle Eastern countries. Some of these institutions offer journalism programs in countries better known for their overt censorship of the media. Whereas some US schools have gone the more traditional route and established partnerships with existing universities, others have signed agreements with Middle Eastern governments to establish in-country campuses where students can earn equivalent degrees to their US counterparts. This panel will discuss the advantages, challenges, applications and implications of opening US university campuses abroad. Panelists will discuss what it means to the universities involved and to journalism education in general.

How to Successfully Teach Diversity Through Children's Television (Session ID: 16)
(Multicultural Studies)
Many television shows for children claim (or don't even claim) to teach diversity. This is an extremely important area of children's television...not only domestically but also in the international marketplace. But how does one teach diversity without simply including participants from different races, cultures and backgrounds on the show? As the past Executive Producer of Sesame Street for ten years, I feel this is a timely and important subject for panel discussion.

Studies show most Americans believe companies should have a positive impact on the environment and our communities. Accordingly, many businesses have turned to cause-related marketing, promising to donate money or other types of support to a nonprofit organization when a customer buys or uses the brand. Today, many broadcast stations are seeking nontraditional revenue (NTR) and goodwill through cause-related marketing, resulting in a potential win-win-win situation for broadcasters, event sponsors and benefactor organizations.

How DO You Teach Directing? A Discussion & Best Practices (Session ID: 293)
(Documentary)
Good directors do not spring full-grown from the head of Hitchcock (or even, Spielberg or Tarantino for that matter!). Still, everyone wants to direct. But too often courses on directing (& textbooks too) delve into the intricacies and "secrets" of the actor's psyche hoping students will comprehend everything there is to know about acting and actors and somehow be able to director. Or, still other courses (& their corresponding textbooks) take a technical approach focusing on cameras, lenses, depth of field, framing, sequences, film stock, lighting and other technical issues under the assumption that all this technical information will instantly transform students into directors. Then the "reality" of directing bites. Some students "lock-up," implode (or explode!) and directing projects are stalled or never get completed and you're left wondering if directing really can be taught... So, how DO you teach students to become good directors? To develop their voice, to pull the strongest elements together to tell a story, to navigate the shoals of budgets, egos and tempers. The assembled panelists will reflect on their philosophy of directing and discuss some "best practices" for teaching directing in the classroom &/or in the field.

Accomplishing the Tough Part: Funding Your Documentary (Session ID: 292)

Almost everyone interested in producing documentaries has faced the harsh reality of trying to find money to get it produced. That is perhaps one of the most difficult parts of being a documentary filmmaker. Yet, there are many resources available, if people know where to look and how to ask. I propose a panel discussion with filmmakers who have successfully received funding of many different levels, to help faculty find those pockets of money and show them how to go after it in the most effective way. A major portion of this could be a Q and A session from the audience about specific projects they are working on and places they might go.

International Production Collaborations: Learning Across Borders (Session ID: 59)
(International)
Description
Several Universities around the world have established exchange programs in which students work in their own countries on video productions with a particular theme. The students and their advisers then travel, with their videos, to a university in another country. Students share their video productions with each other and then take the opportunity to work on a themed video together.
Chulankorn University in Thailand has, for several years, collaborated on such an international video production exchange with Universities in Japan and the Philippines .
The University of Hawaii’s relatively new Academy for Creative Media has recently begun a similar production exchange with a University in Shanghai.
The University of La Verne, in California, is exploring two different video exchange programs with the University of Northampton in the United Kingdom and with Universidad Ibero Americano in Mexico. The first group of Mexican student will be visiting Los Angeles in the upcoming academic year.
Universidad Ibero Americano is also beginning production exchanges with Universities in South Korea. Televisa, Mexico’ largest production company is buying ideas for telenovelas from South Korea and Jose Angel Soto, head of the television program at Universidad Ibero Americano, is consulting with South Korean on production of telenovelas in South Korea.

Radio’s Demise Has Been Greatly Exaggerated (Session ID: 43)
(Radio and Audio Media)
Are we losing radio, or are the big players simply experiencing falling fortunes due to audience rejection of the commercial radio experience? Understanding the often ignored fact that radio is audio, and the compelling advantages that this form offers in content and venue (both local & international), is the key to its survival as a viable medium. This is what makes radio uniquely powerful, and points the way to a bright future.

Sports Division Meeting (Session ID: 251)
(Sports)
The Sports Division's goals are to address needs of BEA members in teaching courses related to sports media. For a long time sports wore the tag of the "toy store." No serious study of the media could include a look at sports. But, times have changed. Academics as well as non-academics have seen that, for better or worse, sports are an essential element of U.S. and worldwide culture. This has led to a surge in academic organizations that recognize and embrace sports as a legitimate intellectual pursuit. A number of academic journals have been developed all devoted to sports, and schools that have sports-related classes, and even majors, are growing in number as we speak.

Financing the future- How to keep pace with the industry amid academic funding cuts (Session ID: 218)
(Courses, Curricula & Administration)
With an uncertain economic outlook, it is becoming challenging for academic units to keep up to date with today's technology. One way to help offset the cost of updated equipment is to generate revenue. While grant writing is helpful, revenue can also be generated through the production of media products for on and off campus organizations. This panel will look at methods used by a variety of schools to help close the revenue gap.

In Thomas Friedman's book, The World is Flat it is clear that the US is changing almost as fast as the world is being flattened. Diversity is no longer inevitable, it is here. How have faculty adjusted to the change and how do they prepare their students for to work in an environment with local, national and international employees. This discussion must take place. It isn't optional, it is imperative that we deliberately seek and foster diversity, eventually the survival of higher education and the news will depend on it.

Curriculum, Ethics and Athletics. (Session ID: 145)
(Sports)
Panel Description:
Media production courses usually require a vast amount of teamwork specifically when working as a production crew in Multi-camera studio and remote situations. Colleges and Universities with NCAA division sports teams, inevitably travel in their required "seasons" thus missing many hands-on productions. Even project work is sometimes compromised when extensive shooting, editing, and planning are mandated. In this situation, deadlines are sometimes missed, and participation in group projects and crew rotations are "excused". But at the end of the day, (or semester), are the athletes learning the same extensive knowledge and able to perform at their highest industry standard? Statistically the majority of Athletes have successful GPA standings, but ethically, we may feel that they are not receiving all of the benefits of the learning and "hands on" opportunities the average student would absorb. How can we be assured that we are fulfilling the obligation to achieve the same consistency and flow of curriculum rubric and grading criteria equal to all?

Integrity versus 'good' radio: how radio services deal with conflicting demands for compelling broadcasting, versus the need and requirement for honesty, fairness, transparency and quality. (Session ID: 91)
(International | Radio and Audio Media)
Radio broadcasters in many countries are faced with increasing competition for listeners and commercial revenues. In addition, audiences demand transparency and interaction, whilst continuing to value long established standards and principles such as trust, honesty, integrity and quality. This panel considers evidence and research from three continents, and from both public and private broadcasters, on how these conflicts and challenges are being resolved.

Pretty girls (and boys!), or Just How Good Looking Do You Have to Be to Report the News on TV? (Session ID: 88)

Television executives regularly say: teach your students to write. They don’t say that students must be good-looking in order to get on-air jobs. Television executives and educators have an honest discussion of the importance of beauty in hiring decisions. Should some students who should be discouraged from TV news careers because of their looks? Is a beauty contest title a requirement on a resume? Does the standard apply to both men and women?

Web Creation and Maintenance for Non-Techies: Using Online Tools to Create and Manage Content-Driven Websites (Session ID: 12)
(Communication Technology)
Funneling content to a webmanager, who writes HTML and uploads pages, is time consuming, inefficient and archaic. Today, journalism and corporate sites utilize content management systems where anyone can create and edit pages that don't need to be uploaded and where no knowledge of HTML or technical proficiency is required. This places proper emphasis on content over technology. Creating and managing web audio and video content is another challenge. Proprietary content management systems are expensive. However, a number of free or low-cost solutions exist using such tools as Drupal, Joomla!, WordPress and Wikis. Many of these tools are in use among journalism sites and in colleges and universities. Panelists will talk about their solutions to the problem of content management and illustrate how they use these low-cost tools to generate and manage collaborative content for the web.

Sports Media and the University: How to represent the University without being a mouthpiece for the athletic department. (Session ID: 124)

Keeping student media independent is a long-standing concern for universities. Ball State University’s latest immersive-learning experience faced that issue when twelve students and four faculty members embarked on an immersive sports experience. Producing packages and remote productions focusing on university sports teams requires cooperation between the athletic department and student media. But where does that cooperation end? Or, does it? Can these two entities operate independently while still representing the same university? This panel explores these concepts and introduces first-hand knowledge and experience.

The Dilemma of Embedded Promotions in Broadcast News (Session ID: 300)
(News)
Commercial product placement and paid sponsored segments are creating myriad ethical dilemmas in today's TV/radio newsrooms. News programs also promote themselves as entertainment vehicles. Viral marketing methods are seeping into the news world as well with social media and "push" technologies used to distribute newsworthy information along with cloaked advertiser messages. This panel explores the multiple methods, causes and consequences of this blurring of boundaries between product promotion and news. It addresses how advertisers seek non-traditional promotions to escape the "mute" or "skip" button on the nation's collective remote control; how shrinking revenue streams influence what and how stories air; and the media mix news consumers now demand. These phenomena are debated against the challenging ethical minefield that is news in the public sphere.

Our Movies, Ourselves: The Ethics of Storytelling (Session ID: 72)
(Writing)
From campfire to electronic hearth, storytelling has entertained, challenged and instructed people of all ages and backgrounds. This panel deals with the ethics of this ubiquitous art form by addressing questions like: what does the story “owe” to the viewer? Can a story deliver satisfaction without redemption? Does unbridled vulgarity in entertainment exact a cultural price? What does it mean to have a sense of “essential truth” in a movie about true events in which everything is constructed?
