    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 2021 Winthrop Students Win Prizes in C-SPAN Video Documentary Competition During unprecedented times, students addressed issues of national importance WASHINGTON (March 10, 2021) – Today C-SPAN announced that students in Winthrop, Iowa, are winners in C-SPAN’s national 2021 StudentCam competition. The following students from East Buchanan Community School have won prizes: Trey Johnson, Tristan Lau and Cole Bowden will receive $250 as honorable mention winners for the documentary, "Government Subsidies for Electric Vehicles."

Despite the unique challenges brought about by COVID-19 this year, more than 2,300 students across the country participated in the contest.

BOX 1586; MANASSAS, VA 20108; 703-369-5017 www.giftededpress.com BOOK NEWS AND REVIEWS BOOKNOTES: AMERICA’S FINEST AUTHORS ON READING, WRITING, AND THE POWER OF IDEAS BY BRIAN LAMB (HOST OF C-SPAN’S BOOKNOTES). TIMES BOOKS. NY. 1997. This book concentrates upon asking outstanding storytellers, reporters and public figures why and how they created their finest works. It contains over one-hundred interviews from the C-SPAN public affairs show (also called Booknotes) with individuals such as David McCullough (Truman: A Life and Times), Shelby Foote (Stars in Their Courses: The Gettysburg Campaign), Doris Kearns Goodwin (Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II), Nathaniel Branden (Judgment Day: My Years with Ayn Rand), Stephen Ambrose (D-Day, June 6, 1944: The Climatic Battle of World War II), David Halberstam (The Fifties), Elaine Sciolino (The Outlaw State: Saddam Hussein’s Quest for Power and the Gulf Crisis), Richard Nixon (Seize the Moment: America’s Challenge in a One-Superpower World), Colin Powell (My American Journey), Bill Clinton (Between Hope and History: Meeting America’s Challenges for the 21st Century), and Margaret Thatcher (The Downing Street Years). Lessons about writing, the experiences of being an author, their quirks and techniques for producing creative works, and the major influences of teachers and mentors frequently occur in these fascinating two to three page interviews. Here are some examples: Shelby Foote has written 1.5 million words about the Civil War using old-fashioned steel-point pens – “I write with a ‘dip pen,’ which causes all kinds of problems – everything from finding blotters to pen points – but it makes me take my time, and it gives me a feeling of satisfaction.

  • C-SPAN Launches New C-SPAN Digital Bus and C-SPAN Local Content Vehicle Localizing C-SPAN's “Washington Your Way” Experien
    C-SPAN Launches New C-SPAN Digital Bus and C-SPAN Local Content Vehicle Localizing C-SPAN’s “Washington Your Way” Experience (June 8, 2010) – C-SPAN today inaugurates two new vehicles: “The C-SPAN Digital Bus” and the C-SPAN LCV (Local Content Vehicle). Digital Bus: Partnering with cable affiliates in communities across America, C-SPAN’s new 45’ customized Prevost coach will engage visitors of all ages through interactive multimedia. Digital Bus visitors will experience C-SPAN’s unique public affairs content across high-tech platforms such as HD-TV, the Internet, and radio, encouraging customers to follow “Washington, your way.” Hands-on demonstrations will feature the C-SPAN Video Library and the network’s social media offerings and there are special resources for civics teachers and their students. The C-SPAN Bus program originated in 1993 as a novel affiliate marketing concept which brought C-SPAN into schools and communities nationwide. Within two years, the Bus’s popularity caused C-SPAN’s Board to approve a second travelling C-SPAN Bus. The big yellow C-SPAN Buses soon became iconic representatives of C-SPAN and the cable industry as the public affairs network partnered with local systems to welcome tens of thousands of students, teachers, and citizens in all 50 states to discuss C-SPAN's programming and free teaching resources. After launching in Washington, DC this week, the new Digital Bus heads to Chicago for its first official tour, partnering with Comcast for the annual Chicago Tribune Printers Row book festival. The two original C-SPAN Buses will retire from service this month, after travelling more than a million miles, including an overseas trip to Hawaii and an overland trip to Alaska.

  • C-SPAN, the Cable TV Channel
    C-SPAN, the Cable TV channel C-SPAN, the Cable-Satellite Public Affairs Network is a medium that truly brings the government to the people. By presenting live and uncut footage of our government in action, the citizens of the United States can get a bit closer to what the founding fathers had in mind when they created our government. C-SPAN is truly a unique channel amongst the mass of today's viewing options. C-SPAN was launched March 19, 1979, "to provide live, gavel to gavel coverage of the United States House of Representatives."1, but the enterprise has been expanded beyond the original one channel and now utilizes several mediums to reach its goal. The originator of this idea of bringing government into peoples' homes was Brian Lamb, who in addition to being the chairman and CEO of C-SPAN, is also a host on many of C-SPAN's programs. Brian's primary belief is that people should be able to see government in action without soundbites, computer maps, models, images, music, and news anchor commentary. Brian feels that if people can see government in action without the normal clutter, then they can more easily make decisions for themselves about politics and the workings of their government. In addition to C-SPAN, a second channel, C-SPAN2 has also been created. C-SPAN2 is committed to providing live and uncut coverage of the U.S. Senate when it is in session. C-SPAN2 continues the tradition of the original channel by giving an even wider unfiltered and unplugged view of our government in action.
