SOCIAL ANXIETY Acebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat MARCH 2020 SOCIAL ANXIETY acebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat. Social networking platforms like these connect billions of people each day, spreading information instantly on a global level. A connected world seemed like a great idea in the early days of Silicon Valley. But now it’s clear that social networks are dangerously good at spreading fake news and extreme views — F and igniting information wars, something that’s especially vexing in an election year. Historian and author Niall Ferguson explores the fascinating history of social networks in Niall Ferguson’s Networld, a new three-part series based on his bestselling book, The Square and the Tower: Networks and Power, from the Freemasons to Facebook. From the Protestant Reformation and 17th-century witch hunts, through the American Revolution and the nightmare visions of Orwell’s 1984, Ferguson examines the intersection of society, communication, technology, and cultural movements throughout the ages, revealing how human behavior, disruptive technology and the desire for profit can energize communication, create and destroy hierarchies, and ultimately change the world. Ferguson unpacks how social networks operate through conversations with network theorists, social scientists and data analysts. He examines historical examples illustrating the parallels between railroad and telegraph titan Jay Gould, publishing giant William Randolph Hearst, and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt; former Facebook product manager Antonio Garcia Martinez; Stanley McChrystal, former head of Joint Special Operations Command in Iraq; and Alex Stamos, former head of security at Facebook, are among those sharing insights. Discover how the worldwide web shifted from a decentralized, not-for-profit entity to a highly profitable network controlled by a tiny elite selling our attention to advertisers, and how our democracies may be threatened by forces that exploit and weaponize social networks. © CHIMERICA MEDIA LTD SERIES PREMIERES WEDNESDAY, “The advent of fake news, corporate monopolies and government interference is nothing MARCH 18 AT 10PM new,” says Ferguson. “Only by understanding history can we find solutions to the issues Learn more at pbs.org/networld facing our new ‘networld’ today like information war and election interference.” A PLACE TO CALL HOME “A period melodrama that delivers nonstop intrigue and cliffhangers along with pointed social critique.” — The New York Times. Set in Australia in the 1950s, A Place to Call Home is a compelling and romantic story of one woman’s journey to heal her soul and of a privileged family rocked by scandal. Sarah Adams, a woman with a mysterious past, returns to Australia after 20 years in Europe.

  • SEPTEMBER 2019 One Timely Topic
    Five Stations. Five Perspectives. SEPTEMBER 2019 One Timely Topic. JTV News joins forces with four other public television news programs from across the country to report on an issue getting national attention: the legalization of cannabis for medical and recreational use. Cannabis Country brings those stories together to give viewers a full scope and N understanding of the hot topic. Examining the challenges for cannabis growers is KPBS (San Diego), from the financial investment to grow the crop to obtaining the state licensing and keeping the business afloat. “It’s far more difficult to make money in cannabis than most people realize and ultimately it’s going to be just like any other business….You have to create a real business infrastructure,” explains one grower. WGBH (Boston) digs deeper into the struggles between established medical cannabis providers and smaller entrepreneurial start-up businesses, while Arizona PBS investigates the struggles for would-be providers to obtain financing from banks for cannabis-based businesses. “We have to pay a lot of people in cash, which can be very challenging,” says one dispensary owner. “We have to have armed security at all times. And get cashier's checks or money orders to pay utilities.” WTTW (Chicago) weighs the controversial aspects and alleged benefits of medical marijuana, hearing from patients who swear it helps, but doctors who have yet to find proof of its remedies. Finally, NJTV News brings the story home, reporting on the legislative struggles to get recreational marijuana legalized in the Garden State, including the criminal justice system implications. NJ lawmakers recently called off a vote to legalize adult-use recreational marijuana that would have also expunged the records of PREMIERES WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4 AT 8PM Learn more at njtvonline.org thousands of residents convicted of possession.

    FEBRUARY 2018 Penne, Parmesan & Party Politics ho’s in for a night of Italian cuisine and political discourse? In a third season of Pasta & Politics with Nick Acocella, the Politifax editor combines his two passions in a delicious talk show that will have viewers salivating for what’s on the stove as well as the juice of the conversation. W WIn the first few episodes, former State Senators Ray Lesniak and Joe Kyrillos show off their culinary skills in the kitchen. Lesniak, the second longest serving state legislator in history, dives into creating a meatball lasagna and recounts his involvement in the panorama of progressive issues like marriage equality and environmental protection. Kyrillos brings some flavor from his own family to the program — his brother’s summer marinara rigatoni recipe — and wittily observes his own political career history and motivation. Between debating beach replenishment and Superstorm Sandy relief, Congressman Frank Pallone whisks eggs, pecorino and pepper and sautés pancetta for a hearty take on spaghetti carbonara. To combat the rich creaminess of that dish, Congressman Donald Payne, Jr. whips up a heart-healthy no-carb pasta with roasted cauliflower, while speaking of his admiration and respect for those he has served with while representing New Jersey’s 10th Congressional District. A sure-to-please Italian meal of seared scallops over linguine with capers and lemon juice is prepped by Congressman Leonard Lance. After tasting his creation, Nick Acocella asked him about the instances when Lance defied his party leadership in both the State Legislature and Congress when his principles demanded it.

    JUNE 2018 A WORLD LEADER IN ARTISTIC EDUCATION or more than a century, The Juilliard School in New York City has trained some of the most gifted musicians, dancers, actors, and playwrights from around the world, setting the gold standard in performing arts education. F Its impressive alumni list reads like a Who’s Who of Broadway, Hollywood, and beyond. Kevin Kline and Patti LuPone were members of the renowned Drama Division’s inaugural class in 1968, with Viola Davis, Robin Williams, Downton Abbey’s Elizabeth McGovern, and many others following in their footsteps. Music greats like Miles Davis, Renée Fleming, Marvin Hamlisch and Yo-Yo Ma honed their craft at Juilliard. Robert Battle, Pina Bausch, and Paul Taylor jetéd to artistic excellence in Juilliard’s prestigious HIROYUKI ITO dance program. Treasures of New York: The Juilliard School traces Juilliard’s remarkable history, from its founding in 1905 by Frank Damrosch as the Institute of Musical Art, to the impact of Juilliard President Joseph Polisi, who, during his 34-year tenure, incorporated liberal arts courses into the curriculum, created Juilliard Jazz, and expanded the institution globally with a branch campus in Tianjin, China. His “artist as citizen” ethos is seen through outreach programs that bring students into schools, hospitals, homeless shelters and other places where they can make a difference through their art. ROSALIE O’CONNOR ROSALIE The film also invites viewers inside the conservatory’s classrooms and rehearsal studios for a rare, behind-the-scenes look at classes taught by Wynton Marsalis, Director of Juilliard Jazz, and Alan Gilbert, former Director of Conducting and Orchestral Studies and former New York Philharmonic Music Director.

  • JUNE 2019 FACING the FUTURE of CLIMATE CHANGE He Times, They Are A-Changing, As a Song Says
    JUNE 2019 FACING THE FUTURE OF CLIMATE CHANGE he times, they are a-changing, as a song says. So is the climate. This month, NJTV explores climate change and its impact on New Jersey in a new special, Facing the Future, produced by the NJTV News team as part of the PBS national Peril and T Promise: The Challenge of Climate Change initiative. The half-hour documentary, hosted by NJTV News Anchor Mary Alice Williams, will report on the topic of climate change from several vantage-points. The first will assess the over-arching local and global climate issues and threats, including the prophesied “doomsday scenario.” Among those experts lending their expertise on the subject is Dr. Robert Kopp, Director of the Institute of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences of Rutgers University in New Brunswick. The program continues by digging deeper into what the topic means to the Garden State, examining local efforts to combat climate change and revealing plans for the future.
