  • Photo Journalism, Film and Animation
    Syllabus – Photo Journalism, Films and Animation Photo Journalism: Photojournalism is a particular form of journalism (the collecting, editing, and presenting of news material for publication or broadcast) that employs images in order to tell a news story. It is now usually understood to refer only to still images, but in some cases the term also refers to video used in broadcast journalism. Photojournalism is distinguished from other close branches of photography (e.g., documentary photography, social documentary photography, street photography or celebrity photography) by complying with a rigid ethical framework which demands that the work be both honest and impartial whilst telling the story in strictly journalistic terms. Photojournalists create pictures that contribute to the news media, and help communities connect with one other. Photojournalists must be well informed and knowledgeable about events happening right outside their door. They deliver news in a creative format that is not only informative, but also entertaining. Need and importance, Timeliness The images have meaning in the context of a recently published record of events. Objectivity The situation implied by the images is a fair and accurate representation of the events they depict in both content and tone. Narrative The images combine with other news elements to make facts relatable to audiences. Like a writer, a photojournalist is a reporter, but he or she must often make decisions instantly and carry photographic equipment, often while exposed to significant obstacles (e.g., physical danger, weather, crowds, physical access). subject of photo picture sources, Photojournalists are able to enjoy a working environment that gets them out from behind a desk and into the world.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.

Also in action on Stadium Court are former World No. 2 Tommy Haas, No. 13 seed Steve Johnson and Cincinnati semi-finalist Alexandr Dolgopolov, who opens his Winston-Salem campaign against 19-year-old Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis.

All rights reserved. 2 PE Plus: Retooling Physical Education for Inclusion, Development and Competition INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SPORT PEDAGOGY, HEALTH AND WELLNESS UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES QUEZON CITY OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT MESSAGE I am privileged to welcome all the guests and participants of the 1st International Conference on Sport Pedagogy, Health and Wellness (ICSPHW). No less than the world's top experts in health, human movement, and pedagogy are gathered here today to discuss important physical education and sports science-related topics over the next three days. While UP's commitment to academic excellence has always been the cornerstone of our success, this has at times been incorrectly conflated with a pursuit of purely intellectual brilliance. This misconception, no doubt fed by the false dichotomy of mind and body, has led to the misconstrued notion attributing UP's contributions to society to purely mental feats. This is of course far from the truth, and does not bespeak of the kind of liberal education that UP has historically espoused. We are lucky and grateful that the UP College of Human Kinetics (UP CHK) has been fully committed to bucking the stereotype and has been showing how well-rounded the Filipino youth can be. Since assuming its name in 1989, the UP CHK has been the base of operations and primary nurturer of UP's student athletes and athletic organizations.

  • Lena Schoneborn and Adam Marosi Are the Winners at the 5Th Kremlin Cup in Moscow
    25 MAY 2015 LENA SCHONEBORN AND ADAM MAROSI ARE THE WINNERS AT THE 5TH KREMLIN CUP IN MOSCOW Lena Schoneborn (Germany) was imperious in the last round of shooting and running, keeping her nerves when she needed them most and from there the Olympic Champion was unstoppable as she raced towards the finish line to take the gold in Moscow. The Women`s Final was decided by a thrilling battle. Until the last round, Sarolta Kovacs (Hungary) was leading, followed by Anna Burjak (Russia) with an 8-second gap. Schoneborn started the Combined Event with an incredible 20-second deficit to the leaders. Until the last shooting three leaders kept their positions, but Schoneborn quickly reached Burjak and approached Kovacs. Donata Rimsaite (Russia) left Burjak behind and the three leaders of the women’s competition became evident: Lena Schoneborn, Sarolta Kovacs and Donata Rimsaite, repeating the podium from the 2012 Kremlin Cup. In the men’s event, Amro El Geziry (Egypt) was dominant in Fencing and Swimming but a highly disappointing performance in Riding blunted his chances of success. It was Adam Marosi (Hungary) who led from the beginning to the end to claim victory. Maxim Kustov (Russia) finished second, followed by Valentin Prades (France) and Ricardo de Luca (Italy). The Kremlin Cup is one of the most prestigious Modern Pentathlon international competitions. With a record number of participating countries, the organisers were delighted with the turnout and the audience was once again captivated by the high-class competition. Final Results: Women 1. Lena Schoneborn (Germany) – 1329. 2.Sarolta Kovacs (Hungary) – 1325.
