The Media History Digital Library (MHDL) is a free online resource, featuring millions of pages from the histories of #film, #broadcasting, and #recorded#sound. We provide access to industry trade papers, magazines, Hollywood pressbooks, technical journals, and more.
Lantern, the MHDL's full-text search platform, enables researchers to query specific words or phrases within scanned pages.
We hope the MHDL has had a transformative impact on the study of film & broadcasting history. The sources we have digitized for open access, and the large-scale queries that our platforms allow, have enabled ambitious research projects and the production of new knowledge.
We look forward to sharing interesting content from our collection and learning about projects that use the MHDL.
Sure, let's make more announcements at 8:30pm on a Tuesday night, why not.

Reposting my #introduction, since I'm seeing a lot of fresh faces recently. I'm an associate professor at UMass Amherst, where I teach about #journalism and #MediaIndustries. My research focuses on media distribution and, occasionally, dysfunction in the adtech industry.
I also co-edit a book series on the civic impacts of media distribution for The MIT Press. Feel free to hit me up if you're working on a relevant project!

"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."

The first edition of ALTERNATE CHANNELS came out 23 years ago today, on July 5, 2000. The original publisher was generally great to deal with but insisted on a sensationalist subtitle and left out all the photos I'd found.
A revised 20th-anniversary edition, subtitled "Queer Images on 20th-Century TV," contains about 100 photos from classic TV shows.
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

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.
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:

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?
