SUMMARY:TV News in Transition
DESCRIPTION:No aspect of television has changed more decisively in recent years than its news programming. The proliferation of news channels\, the passing of the last generation of news anchors bred in the era of the broadcast networks\, the appearance of partisan outlets such as Fox News\, the fragmentation of the audience\, the relative indifference of the digital generation to television news programming of any sort – these powerful and perhaps disturbing changes will be among the topics discussed at this Forum. Our speakers have extensive first-hand experience of the recent history of television journalism. \nSpeakers\nJuju Chang has worked in television news since 1991 as a producer and on-air correspondent. She is currently based in New York as a correspondent for ABC’s 20/20. \nNeal Shapiro joined NBC News in 1993 after 13 years as a producer and executive at ABC News. At NBC he served as director of news operations of MSNBC where he helped to shape its cable programming and its innovative web site. He was named president of NBC News in 2001\, a post he held until September\, 2005. \nModerator: Stuart N. Brotman is a visiting scholar in Comparative Media Studies at MIT. Previously\, he was president and CEO of The Museum of Television & Radio. An attorney\, Brotman is the author of several books\, including Communications Law and Practice\, now in its 20th printing.

SUMMARY:TV's New Economics
DESCRIPTION:Though younger technologies such as Ipods and cell phones signify the emerging digital era in the popular imagination\, the transformation of television from a broadcast medium offering limited channels to a digitally enhanced environment of (apparently) infinite choice may be far more significant in social and historical terms. Today’s Forum will examine the changing economic base of American television\, the role of audiences and audience-measurement\, the broader role of consumption and advertising in the evolution of American television. Our speakers are renowned for their mastery of this complex economic and demographic history. \nDavid Poltrack\, one of the media industry’s most respected experts on audiences and audience measurement\, was recently named president of CBS Vision\, CBS’ new research unit. Since 1994\, Poltrack has been executive vice president for research and planning at CBS Television\, overseeing all television research activities encompassing audience measurement\, market research\, program testing and advertising research. \nJorge Schement is perhaps the leading academic scholar of the statistical matrices of consumption and information exchange. He is distinguished professor and co-director of the Institute for Information Policy\, Penn State University.

SUMMARY:Noir: The Shorthand Guide...
DESCRIPTION:Noir … Hollywood’s response to the breakdown and reworking of longstanding representational codes appeared with the use of anti-heros\, inverted narrative structure\, gritty urban realism\, and stories set at night. This departure from normative cultural practice largely coincided with related developments in music (bebop)\, painting (abstract expressionism)\, and other expressive forms. This session will briefly look at Film Noir’s roots in German Romanticism and Expressionism\, its relationships with contemporary arts\, and its successors in contemporary film culture. This heavily illustrated session will offer a primer to one of the most important moments in America’s film history.

SUMMARY:Media in Transition 4: The Work of Stories
DESCRIPTION:Some say storytelling is at the heart of social life and personal identity. It is common today to speak of political candidates’ "competing narratives\," or of a group or culture’s need to invent "a new narrative" for changing times. Stories are embedded in our commercials and our newscasts. Ancient narratives of humiliation and revenge are said to drive the lives of millions. New and emerging technologies have given global reach to stories old and new. \nThis fourth Media in Transition conference explores storytelling as a cultural practice\, a social and political activity as well as an art form. \nWe want to talk about why some stories last\, how they migrate across media forms within their own societies as well as other cultures and historical eras. We hope to encourage speculation about the ways in which stories are deployed in periods of media in transition\, and about the way some stories easily inhabit different media simultaneously while other stories seem less adaptable. \nWe aim to stimulate a conversation among scholars\, journalists and media professionals who may often speak only to their own tribal groups.

SUMMARY:LineStorm Animation Exploration
DESCRIPTION:Be a worthy contributor to Animation\, the world’s newest artform! We’ll review some short\, world-famous animations\, then approach the artform the old-fashioned way\, creating hand-drawn artwork on lightboxes\, scanning it into the computer for looping\, sound-sync and final edit. We’ll use dynamic\, energetic typography to illustrate one or two essential maxims (in ten words or less\, yet to be chosen!)\, then add color and organic line to give them an unforgettable visual boost! Our finished piece\, 2 to 3 minutes long\, will screen at the Made-at-MIT Spectacular in May. Limit: 12. Presented by Pell Osborn\, award-winning animator\, designer\, and teacher.

SUMMARY:Fansubbing
DESCRIPTION:Sean Leonard\, Andrew Deschere \nLearn fansubbing–the process of adding subtitles to Japanese animation. Topics covered: history and development of American fansubbing\, tools and methodology\, global culture and media theories\, legal and ethical debates. Participants will work in teams (“fansub groups”) to subtitle a short animation\, working on translation\, timing\, typesetting\, encoding\, and other development tasks. Previous exposure to Japanese language is recommended but not required. The fansubbing tools that we will be using are built for the Win32 platform. Although not required\, a laptop that runs Windows applications is highly recommended for practice in class.

SUMMARY:AniJam
DESCRIPTION:Be an animator! Rediscover the magic and pep of this delightfully elastic medium. Work with award-winning animator and designer Pell Osborn (“Piano-Forte”\, “Silent E”\, “The Creation”) to build a free-for-all AniJam\, an Animation Jamboree\, in which each participant contributes a freeform sequence to our punchy final two-minute project. We’ll use traditional materials — each animator on a lightbox — then capture our art to the computer for final edit and sync to a pre-recorded track. If all works out\, our magnum opus screens at the MIT Media Spectacle this spring.
