Would it be too frustrating to ask undergrads to find a particular news story that I know for a fact does not exist? The reason I ask is because there is a professional field that references this non-existent story because a respected figure in the field claims to have caused it to be.
After the student struggle to find the story, the discussion would be about ethics and research.
Marshall McLuhan wrote books and taught students about his theories of media for decades, and is widely known as "as the father of modern media studies";

Hi everyone! I'm Detha, a new member of Beige Party-goers with #AuDHD from #Indonesia, #TootSEA.
I'm currently in my late-20s and a #polyglot — I speak three languages fluently: #Indonesian, #Javanese, and #English. I've also been learning #Japanese, currently trying to memorise Hiragana and Katakana letters.
Other than that, I love reading #manga a lot. Currently I'm making it my mission to read older mangas from my childhood, like #DetectiveConan and #Hellsing. I like reading in general, just not "actual books" haha — my attention span can't handle it.
I guess that's what I can think of for my #introduction for now. I have a lot more scattered interests though, so you'll be seeing more of it on my account.
Thank you to @theropologist for accepting my request to join this instance, and nice to meet you all! Beige-bless :bb:
"CNN‘s description (1/29/24) of Charles Littlejohn as someone who “stole” tax returns (he was actually convicted of “unauthorized disclosure”) is a framing that criminalizes much of what #CNN and other news outlets do."
After a successful search in the Fall we're hiring again! This is a wonderful department filled with colleagues I truly love. Please spread widely within your networks.

Calling all educators in journalism and media studies!
I'm a molecular biologist at #PennState. In the spring I am piloting a new general education course for non-science majors: "Science in Media."
The aim is to combine media literacy skills with hard science topics, through the lens of our shared experience consuming science media during the COVID-19 pandemic.
I am looking for introductory texts on "media" writ large. What has worked for you?
I've found Campbell, Martin, & Fabos; Ott & Mack; Long & Wall; and Deuze. Which do you like? What have I missed?
Any other effective, insightful readings you can recommend?

ANTI-PRESENCE. I just watched Jill, Uncredited on Mubi. It’s about film extra Jill Goldston’s appearances—literally just momentary appearances—in countless films. Taken as a scored sequence, the 18 minute short is an eerie statement about how scattered likenesses get preserved in media amber; never forgotten but never recalled, like ghosts in a televisual bardo.
🪧 #CFP for the Inaugural Disability Communications and Media Preconference at #ICA2024 in a hybrid and accessible format.

Host Cathy Hannabach interviews media scholar Tamara Kneese @tamigraph about her new Yale University Press book Death Glitch: How Techno-Solutionism Fails Us in This Life and Beyond.
Somewhere on a #mediastudies course a student (or perhaps staff researcher?) is organising a piece of comparative work looking at how the #MorningShow and the #Newsreader each (and differently) are telling the story of power & #gender in the TV #newsroom.
Certainly one is set in contemporary #America & the other is set in 1980's #Australia, but the covergence of themes is pretty striking (watching them back-to-back).
And if no one is doing it; there's a project ready to go for someone!

in which I narrate the weird story of Google's late-aughts entry into the radio industry and argue that the recession, on top of "traditional" media consolidation, played a decisive role in spurring the rhetorical and infrastructural separation of the streaming/platform model as a "new" medium
