New Media Institute

Pay attention to how Andy Shallal discusses how media helped convey the message and place of Busboys and Poets. Bridging race and culture -- the story of Busboys & Poets: Andy Shallal at TEDxMidAtlantic

As you walk around the city it is impossible not to notice the bombardment of advertisments and signs. One thing we should consider while we view these is the message each of these conveys. Does the sign use digital or print media to convey that message? What other tools are they employing to assert their product?

Last night we went to PBS Newshour to see the taping of the show and ask questions about how a national news broadcast is run. Some people mentioned PBS was like the public access studios on steriods. Alexxis and other staff members pointed out all the changes the studio had to make as the technology of film changed. Their take on breaking news was very interesting to watch as it happened in real time.
