August 09, 2005Notes from San AntonioThings mentioned at the Restoring the Trust conference: Media Big Bang, a book from Korea Thefacebook as the No. 1 media choice of U.S. college students USA Today's coverage today of the death of millionaire magazine publisher John Johnson compared with the same newspaper's coverage of the death of Peter Jennings The Information Society and the Black Community, a book (Praeger, 2000) The Gainesville Guardian, a new product from The New York Times Co., will be launched in my town, Gainesville, Fla. Apparently this has caused an uproar, which I missed because I was out of the country (more about the uproar) -- even Forbes wrote about it (Gray Lady Goes Black, Web posted July 1, 2005, 6:00 AM ET). Members of an ethnic minority can cover stories that are entirely unrelated to their ethnicity. But can an ethnic community be covered by people who do NOT share the ethnicity of that community? I don't know the answer to that question. I do know I have heard black American reporters talk about being sent into low-income urban communities where they felt really out of place, because they didn't grow up in that kind of community. J. George Cisneros (VuTure Arts): "How do people appropriate other people's cultures?" There's a good article about the Spanish-language media here in San Antonio, Texas, at Reclaim the Media. The article is part of a series on America's Spanish-Language Newspaper Wars from: Center for Communications and Community, "a journalism, research, and training institution" based at UCLA "If it's not relevant to the community, that community won't pick it up." -- Tino Duran, publisher, La Prensa, a weekly newspaper in San Antonio

August 05, 2005Audio LinksNext week I will give a presentation about Flash and photojournalism at the annual AEJMC conference. I made a new list o' links to accompany the presentation. The list includes links to resources for gathering and editing audio to be included in multimedia presentations. There is also a list of favorite microphones for routine use in the field.

August 01, 2005MiniDisc Recorders & CamerasI'm in syllabus-writing mode and preparing for the fall semester. This morning I've been pricing MiniDisc recorders and digital cameras. I found the Sharp MD-MT280S MiniDisc recorder (has mic input) for $179.95 at PlanetMiniDisc.com. Sony MZ-RH910 MiniDisc recorder (has mic input) for $199.95 at MiniDisco.com. As for cameras, I'm looking at the Canon PowerShot A520 (4 megapixels, 4x optical zoom), $224.99 at Best Buy, and the Nikon CoolPix 4800 (4 megapixels, 8x optical zoom), $349.99 at Best Buy. Not sure yet whether either one would be sturdy enough for student use.
