Welcome As Program Chair, it is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the 2019 BEA Convention. Convention As educators, we draw findings from diverse streams of research to provide students with an understanding of the theoretical approaches to the analysis of media texts and, in turn, to Program Chair’s inform their own production practice. In other words, we strive to teach students not just which production techniques work, but why they work. Be that as it may, prominent industry producers continue to be of the view that media production is self-taught and the role of educators is one Welcome of giving students the confidence and inspiration to succeed. Therefore, if we as educators are to serve as mere beacons of inspiration, what roles do our theoretical teachings serve in the professional practice of electronic media? Does the professional practice of media rely on instinct or on the acquisition of specialized skills and knowledge? The BEA2019 Convention Spotlight, Education and Industry: Mediating the Nexus, explores the issues posed by these questions. To that end, we have an exciting line up of presentations and workshops that aim to increase the dialogue between scholars and practitioners in order to aid the former to build new and expand existing industry relationships; to develop curricula in such a way that the insights gained from theory feed into practice, and vice versa; and to identify research gaps and foster collaborative research projects with industry partners. On the academic side, the Research Symposium examines the issue of what it means to be media literate. The Chinese Communication Association and the Communication University of China describe the transformations of China’s media landscape and subsequent changes to the county’s journalism curricula. EDIT Media details practices for inclusive teaching in media production. The Scholar-to-Scholar Digital Research sessions provide an innovated and interactive opportunity to learn about diverse areas of research. And “BEA Ignite” puts forth creative ideas and activities for engaged classroom teaching. On the industry side, the Television Academy Foundation explores the pro-social potential of television. Experts from Google, Netflix, ESPN and Nielsen discuss growing industry trends. The Poynter Institute’s Al Tompkins tackles the problem of fake news and provides practical insights for discerning falsehoods in today’s reality. The esteemed Dick Wiley shares his view of key legal and policy issues. And the “pitch session” offers students the unique possibility of proposing their story to industry professionals. On the practical side, Apple offers mobile storytelling workshops. Blackmagic Design provides 1771 N Street, NW DaVinci Resolve 15 training. And a special day-long session focuses on media analytics Washington, DC 20036-2891 applications and curricular design issues. Putting this convention together was an honor and a privilege. It would have not been Educating for Tomorrow’s possible without the dedication and tireless efforts of Heather Birks, J-D Boyle and Traci Bailey, to all of whom I offer my heartfelt thanks. Thanks also to Gregory N. Luft, President, the Media since 1955 Board of Directors, the Interest Division Chairs, Lisa Pecot-Hébert, 2020 Program Chair and Scholar-to-Scholar session organizer, and Sara Magee, Festival of Media Arts Chair, for their www.BEAweb.org valued contributions. Finally, all of our efforts would be futile without the support of our members. I thank you for your dedication to the vitality of the electronic media arts and for the record number of submissions. This is your convention. Enjoy!
