CONTENT IS KING: STORYTELLING ACROSS PLATFORMS Convention Program Chairʼs Welcome A very warm welcome to BEA 2016 from your 2016 Program Chair! Whether you’re a first timer or a seasoned BEA veteran, I know you’ll find much of interest in the numerous panels, programs and sessions we’ve crafted for you over the next few days. Our spotlight theme “Content is King: Storytelling Across Platforms” is extremely relevant in a world where we get and convey information across many different platforms…but sometimes can forget that we are still at heart, storytellers. Bringing the focus back to content allows us to explore the many different ways stories can be told across genres and platforms as well as in the classroom. To that end, we’ve recruited a myriad of great storytellers…all of whom are crafting stories across different platforms in unique ways. Our keynote speaker is one such person. Bruce Rosenblum is CEO of the Academy of Television Arts where he is constantly focused on finding and telling compelling stories in new ways all while adjusting to a constantly changing media system. Rowan University brings you a conversation with Frank Spotnitz, the creative force behind Amazon’s recent miniseries ‘The Man in the High Castle” and countless classic episodes of FOX’s “The X-Files.” The Television Academy Foundation takes you into the world of ‘reality TV’ with the man widely credited for creating today’s modern reality genre, Jonathan Murray. And learn more about women leading media today in one of our many special sessions throughout the convention. There’s plenty on the academic side as well, including our 2016 Research Symposium that tackles the issues of Risk and Health Communication in an Evolving Media Environment. Check out our ‘non-poster’ poster sessions, where you can learn about many interesting research topics—on a big screen. You won’t want to miss the always entertaining “pitch session” where you might hear the next great idea for a hit program, then visit “BEA Ignite” to learn new tips and tricks for engaged classroom teaching. You can even learn how to fly a drone (legally) in a Tuesday session this year! And don’t forget, we have more than 100 panelists presenting cutting edge academic research on themes that stretch across all 17 of our research divisions (and you could even be a part of helping us create an 18th). You’ll also want to make sure you view some of our award winning entries in this year’s Festival of Media Arts. With a record number of entries (more than 1500) you’re sure to be amazed at the creativity of faculty and students from universities around the globe. And students, don’t forget to get going on your job hunt with the annual BEA/NAB Career Fair Wednesday! Putting this convention together was an honor and a privilege and I have to thank the three people that make all this possible every year, our rock star BEA team of Heather Birks, JD Boyle and Traci Bailey. I could not have done this without their tireless support and encouragement. Thanks also to 2017 Program Chair Christine Taylor for leading the charge for our non-poster poster sessions and Festival of Media Arts Chair Lowell Briggs for guiding a cast of hundreds through a very complicated process. As a former television news producer and reporter, associate professor and proud BEA member of ten years and counting, I can tell you that tackling a convention of this size and reputation has been one of the most challenging yet rewarding things I have done in my career. I thank everyone who submitted panels and sessions, offered ideas and suggestions when in desperate need of them, and in general helped create what you are about to experience over the next four days. My final piece of advice for having a great BEA convention: explore everything, attend as many things as you can, make connections and contacts and most importantly, be amazed and enthralled by the kinds of storytelling that is happening all around you. Enjoy!
