In distance learning, you should think of reading lectures instead of listening to the lecturer. Materials are broken down into units and each unit tells you where to read and the text materials and textbooks are recommended for year study. Exercises are also provided for you to do at appropriate points, just like in a conventional study class, a lecturer may give you assignment to do in class. All the units are drawn or framed on a common format. Introduction usually forms the first item and introduces you to the subject-matter of the unit, how each unit aligns with the other units and the course as a whole. Following this is a set of learning objectives. The objectives are to enable you to know what you should do by the time you have come to the end of the unit. The objectives are meant to be a guide to your study. Once a unit is completed you have to crosscheck to verify if you have achieved the objectives. This will significantly improve the chances of you passing the course. The main body of the unit is meant to guide you. Through the required reading from other sources which would be either from the set books or from a reading section. Remember that your tutor’s job is to guide and help you. So do not hesitate to contact your tutor on telephone if you are in difficulty and require assistance as your tutor will readily provide such assistance. 1. Remember the Course Guide is your first assignment, so read it thoroughly.

    United States Diplomatic Mission to Nigeria, Public Affairs Section Plot 1075, Diplomatic Drive, Central Business District, Abuja Telephone: 09-461-4000. Website at http://nigeria.usembassy.gov PRESS RELEASE June 25, 2021 For Immediate Release U.S. Embassy Abuja Partners Channels Academy to Train Conflict Reporters The U.S. Embassy Abuja, in partnership with Channels Academy, has trained over 150 journalists on Conflict Reporting and Peace Journalism. In her opening remarks, the U.S. Embassy Spokesperson/Press Attaché Jeanne Clark noted that the United States recognized that security challenges exist in many forms throughout the country, and that journalists are confronted with responsibility to prioritize physical safety in addition to meeting standards of objectivity and integrity in conflict. She urged the journalists to share their experiences throughout the course of the three-day seminar and encouraged participants to identify new ways to address these security challenges. The trainer Professor Steven Youngblood from the U.S. Center for Global Peace Journalism – Park University defined and presented principles for peace journalism in conflict reporting. He cautioned journalists to refrain from what he termed war journalism. He said, "war journalism is a pattern of media coverage that includes overvaluing violent, reactive responses to conflict while undervaluing non-violent, developmental responses.” The Provost of Channels Academy, Mr Kingsley Uranta, showed appreciation for the continuous partnership with the U.S. Embassy and for bringing such training opportunities to Nigerian journalists. He also called on conflict reporters to be peace ambassadors. The training took place virtually via Zoom on June 22 – 24, 2021. Journalists converged in American Spaces in Abuja, Kano, Bauchi Sokoto, Maiduguri, Awka, and Ibadan.

  • Putting National Party Convention
    CONVENTIONAL WISDOM: PUTTINGNATIONAL PARTY CONVENTION RATINGS IN CONTEXT Jill A. Edy and Miglena Daradanova J&MC This paper places broadcast major party convention ratings in the broad- er context of the changing media environmentfrom 1976 until 2008 in order to explore the decline in audience for the convention. Broadcast convention ratings are contrasted with convention ratingsfor cable news networks, ratings for broadcast entertainment programming, and ratings Q for "event" programming. Relative to audiences for other kinds of pro- gramming, convention audiences remain large, suggesting that profit- making criteria may have distorted representations of the convention audience and views of whether airing the convention remains worth- while. Over 80 percent of households watched the conventions in 1952 and 1960.... During the last two conventions, ratings fell to below 33 percent. The ratings reflect declining involvement in traditional politics.' Oh, come on. At neither convention is any news to be found. The primaries were effectively over several months ago. The public has tuned out the election campaign for a long time now.... Ratings for convention coverage are abysmal. Yet Shales thinks the networks should cover them in the name of good cit- izenship?2 It has become one of the rituals of presidential election years to lament the declining television audience for the major party conven- tions. Scholars like Thomas Patterson have documented year-on-year declines in convention ratings and linked them to declining participation and rising cynicism among citizens, asking what this means for the future of mass dem~cracy.~Journalists, looking at conventions in much the same way, complain that conventions are little more than four-night political infomercials, devoid of news content and therefore boring to audiences and reporters alike.4 Some have suggested that they are no longer worth airing.

    Small Episodes, Big Detectives A genealogy of Detective Fiction and its Relation to Serialization MA Thesis Written by Bernardo Palau Cabrera Student Number: 11394145 Supervised by Toni Pape Ph.D. Second reader Mark Stewart Ph.D. MA in Media Studies - Television and Cross-Media Culture Graduate School of Humanities June 29th, 2018 Acknowledgments As I have learned from writing this research, every good detective has a sidekick that helps him throughout the investigation and plays an important role in the case solving process, sometimes without even knowing how important his or her contributions are for the final result. In my case, I had two sidekicks without whom this project would have never seen the light of day. Therefore, I would like to thank my thesis supervisor Toni Pape, whose feedback and kind advice was of great help. Thank you for helping me focus on the important and being challenging and supportive at the same time. I would also like to thank my wife, Daniela Salas, who has contributed with her useful insight, continuous encouragement and infinite patience, not only in the last months but in the whole master’s program. “Small Episodes, Big Detectives” 2 Contents Introduction ...................................................................................................................... 4 1.

  • “The Masterpiece” PRODUCTION BIOS MARTHA WILLIAMSON
    ‘SIGNED, SEALED, DELIVERED’ 1004 “The Masterpiece” PRODUCTION BIOS MARTHA WILLIAMSON (Executive Producer and Creator) - Martha Williamson made television history when her CBS series, "Touched By An Angel" set a new standard for an inspirational family drama when it grew to a weekly audience of 25 million viewers and exploded into more than a billion dollar franchise during its initial 9-year run. As Executive Producer and Head Writer of the ground-breaking series, Williamson was the visionary who guided the show into previously uncharted territory with her unique brand of inspirational story telling that produced more than strong ratings; it changed lives. Correspondence from viewers reveals its continued impact as the series plays in syndication and DVD's worldwide. Williamson then sealed her place in history when she went on to become the first woman to solely executive-produce two one-hour dramas simultaneously, after creating and executive- producing “Promised Land,” which aired for three years on CBS. As the go-to creative executive for inspirational family entertainment, Williamson is consulting with companies that are expanding their brands into the growing genre of faith and family programming. Under her MoonWater Productions banner, she is developing a number of television pilots. Her “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” comic drama is scheduled to air on Hallmark Channel in October 2013. She has also returned to script doctoring and is serving as a Screenwriter and Executive Producer for the remake of Disney's classic family film “Thomasina.” She began her career in comedy, working with the producing teams for Carol Burnett and Joan Rivers and went on to write for and produce situation comedies such as "The Facts of Life," "Family Man," "Jack's Place" and "Living Dolls" for all the networks.
