Ganey Ida Reynolds Watson President Mary Pruess Treasurer Kevin J. Morrison Secretary WNIT is located in the Center for Public Media, but all of Michiana is our studio. Through our Janet M. Botz local programs and documentaries, from the OUR TOWN series to FARM FRESH TO YOU, Directors from DINNER AND A BOOK to our newest program, EXPERIENCE MICHIANA, we tell Kathryn Demarais the stories of Michiana by the people of Michiana. Robert G. Douglass Irene E. Eskridge Geographically, Michiana covers approximately 17 counties in northern Indiana and five in David D. Gibson southwestern Michigan. It stretches from the lakeshore along Lake Michigan to the Amish William A. Gitlin communities in LaGrange County, Indiana. It is an area of farms and fields, factories and Tracy D. Graham fisheries. It is dotted with hundreds of small lakes and borders Lake Michigan. Michiana contains Larry D. Harding cities, towns and villages, major colleges and universities, incredible agriculture and world-class James W. Hillman manufacturing. The region is drained by two major rivers, the St. Joseph and the Kankakee, which Najeeb A. Khan come within a few miles of each other at a location designated as a north-south continental divide. Glenn E. Killoren Waters to the north and east of the divide flow into the Great Lakes while waters to the south and Evelyn Kirkwood Ryan Matthys west of that demarcation flow into the Mississippi and down to the Gulf of Mexico. Mary Louise Miller But it is the people that make Michiana special. Where in this world are you going to find people Pat Moody of such talent and diversity, people who are so open and friendly and helpful? The people of Dr. Susan Ohmer Michiana are educated and hard-working, specializing in fields such as education and farming, Jill Richardson orthopedics and engineering. That’s why we’re so excited about EXPERIENCE MICHIANA. It Maritza Robles gives us the opportunity to spotlight individuals and organizations in our community who have a Cari Shein story to tell. Our camera crews have recorded everything from the wooden carousel horses in St. Thomas E. Slager Joseph to the New York Central Railroad Museum in Elkhart. Host Gordy Young has taken part in Craig D. Sullivan Michael J.

There are about 1.3 Charter Directors million viewers in the Michiana area and we would like to reach each and every one of them. Mr. Arthur J. Decio Mr. Jerry Hammes Just as WNIT is so much more than just a channel on the dial, Michiana is so much more than Mrs. Ernestine M. Raclin an area on a map. For us, Michiana is home. In the past few years, we have produced OUR Mrs. Jane Warner TOWN: GOSHEN, OUR TOWN: WARSAW - WINONA LAKE and we are currently Mr. Dar Wiekamp* working on another edition of OUR TOWN for this summer.

  • Yul Kwon, from Bullying Target to Reality TV Star by NPR Staff from Npr.Org  2012
    Name: Class: Yul Kwon, From Bullying Target to Reality TV Star By NPR Staff From Npr.Org 2012 Yul Kwon’s early life was mired with a host of challenges. Born to South Korean immigrants in New York, Kwon never had a positive role model from his community. In 2006, he decided to join the cast of Survivor and make a name for himself in popular culture. As you read, take notes on how Yul Kwon overcame his personal demons to become a role model for other Asian Americans. [1] Yul Kwon first earned his game-changer status when the Yale University-trained lawyer put his career on hold to compete on the CBS show Survivor in 2006. He became the first Asian- American to win that show's $1 million prize. That led to work as a special correspondent for CNN, a lecturer at the FBI Academy, and deputy chief of the Federal Communication Commission's Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau. Kwon currently hosts the news program LinkAsia on LinkTV, and recently finished hosting PBS' America Revealed, a mini documentary series "Yul J. Kwon" is licensed under CC BY 2.0. about agriculture, transportation, energy and manufacturing. Being A Target Of Bullying Kwon's early life involved a host of challenges. He was born in 1975 in New York to South Korean immigrants. He tells Tell Me More host Michel Martin he had a severe lisp as a kid, so many people assumed he was a foreigner who could not speak English properly. Kwon says he grew increasingly quiet to avoid being teased or beaten up.

I’d like to share with you a personal recollection from the past year that stood out from so many memorable moments, and one that exemplifies our work, as it speaks to the history of Asian American filmmaking within the context of family, community and the larger society. Last March, as a special presentation of the 25th sfiaaff we presented the first public screening in more than 90 years of the first Chinese American feature film, The Curse Of Quon Gwon, directed by a remarkable woman named Marion Wong. The film dramatically tells the story of a young Chinese American bride (played by Marion Wong’s sister-in- law, Violet) and her ordeal to endure the jealousy and harsh treatment of her husband’s first wife (played, with steely relish by Marion Wong herself). Although never truly “lost”, as the film was always in the care of Wong family members, the film had nonetheless escaped the attention of film historians and archivists until word of its existence was passed on to filmmaker Arthur Dong during the research for his caam-supported documentary Hollywood Chinese.

  • Advancing Justice-LA Advocated for the Rights of Immigrant and Asian
    Letter from the Founder & Board Chair Since our founding in 1983, Asian Americans Advancing Justice - Los Angeles (Advancing Justice-LA) has been filling significant legal and advocacy gaps of diverse Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communities. In the midst of escalating threats against immigrants, Muslims, people of color, and low-income families, we continue to provide these much-needed services, develop community leaders, and advance policy and litigation work that elevates equity, inclusion, and justice for the most vulnerable in our community. This year, Pat and I were honored to receive Advancing Justice-LA’s first ever Lifetime Achievement Award. We appreciate the recognition for helping build Advancing Justice- LA, fighting for AANHPIs, and advancing social justice for all communities. We are proud to have played a role in pulling together the people, raising funds, and growing an organization that continues to make an impact! This has also been a significant year for Advancing Justice-LA as I transitioned from my role from our first and only President & Executive Director to Founder. After dedicating 35 years to building, leading, and guiding our organization, I am focusing my responsibilities on fundraising and coalition building, which creates an opportunity for new leadership to guide the organization into the future. The board has hired an interim Executive Director, Sylia Obagi, who brings deep experience in programs, management, administration, and finance. We are confident in Sylia’s ability to build upon the strengths of Advancing Justice-LA. As the Board of Directors launches our search for a permanent CEO in the fall, we are paving the way for a permanent CEO who can continue the organization’s leadership role locally and nationally.

  • Valuing Play in Survivor: a Constructionist Approach to Multiplayer Games
    Article Games and Culture 1-19 ª The Author(s) 2018 Valuing Play in Survivor: Article reuse guidelines: sagepub.com/journals-permissions DOI: 10.1177/1555412018804327 A Constructionist journals.sagepub.com/home/gac Approach to Multiplayer Games Marcus Carter1 Abstract The U.S. televised game Survivor is fascinating for the study of multiplayer games because the winner of a season of Survivor is not dictated by the rules. Instead, a “jury” of eliminated players vote for which of the remaining two to three contestants deserve to win the US$1,000,000 prize, based entirely on their personal opinion. In this article, I present an analysis of Final Tribal Council, where this decision is made, revealing the key themes that influence this decision. I subsequently propose a social constructionist approach to understanding and researching multiplayer games as moral economies, where diverse types of play are given different values by players. I argue that this approach provides a useful theoretical framework for an integrated understanding of how both game and nongame elements work to influence player behavior and experience. Keywords Survivor, multiplayer games, social constructionism, betrayal, informal rules The U.S. televised game Survivor is fascinating for the study of multiplayer games. Unlike the majority of competitive games, the winner is not dictated by the rules but by a “jury” of eliminated players who vote based on their personal opinion.
