  • Voices of the Pandemic
    Voices of the Pandemic Part of Harpswell Coastal Academy’s (HCA) mission is anchoring students to the people and places that shape them, in hopes that some may remain after graduation. Since 2014, a year-long humanities class has been dedicated to that concept — an oral history course that captures the extraordinary stories of “ordinary” locals. Along the way, HCA has forged partnerships with Harpswell Heritage Land Trust and Bowdoin College, which previously hosted a project exhibition, as well as donated equipment and mentorship. This year’s theme, “Voices of the Pandemic,” builds on an ethnographic tradition that has included conservation advocates to seaweed harvesters. During 2020-21, students tackled how the Covid-19 crisis has impacted community members such as a teacher, general store owner, and a nurse. Due to distancing constraints, the class pivoted to Zoom audio-only recordings rather than in-person videos; the results will be posted to harpswellstories.org and part of a future exhibition of service at the school. The class was schooled in audio editing software — and the archaic art of a handwritten thank- you note. “Students learned certain etiquette — what it means to be public facing and ambassadors of HCA,” says Whitney Conway, who co-taught the course with Zachary Gagnon. The class researched the pandemic’s global scope, studied oral histories from NPR’s StoryCorps, and culled interviewing tips from a New York Public Library curator. She spoke of reading nuanced Zoom body language and how awkward silences can be golden moments when subjects open up. “Students learned that subtle dance between the interviewer and the interviewee,” says Conway.

    EASTMAN NOTESSPRING 2014 “Making Music Matter” DOUGLAS LOWRY 1951 – 2013 Creating MUSIC in Her Own Way On the ship from her native Germany to her new home, whenever her mother was looking for Dietlinde Payne she knew she would find her intently watching the accordion player perform. And when Dietlinde settled in Rochester as a teenager, one of her passions quickly became taking the bus to watch Eastman students perform. After retiring from a teaching career, she decided to giveback to the University through a George Eastman Circle Scholarship that supports the students who bring her so much joy. “I’d like to see them become musicians or maybe even music teachers, combining two of the things that are so important.” —Dietlinde Payne ’64 Retired Teacher Rochester, New York Supports: Eastman School of Music To learn more about the new George Eastman Members of the George Eastman Circle, the University of Rochester’s leadership annual giving Circle Scholarship program, please visit society, can establish scholarships to help students in www.GeorgeEastmanCircle.com/Scholarships the schools they care about most by committing at least $5,000 annually for a minimum of five years.

  • Winners of the Overseas Press Club Awards
    2010 dateline SPECIAL EDITION CARACAS, VENEZUELA WINNERS OF THE OVERSEAS PRESS CLUB AWARDS dateline 2010 1 LETTERFROM THE PRESIDENT t the Overseas Press Club of America, we are marching through our 71st year insisting that fact-based, hard-news reporting from abroad is more important than ever. As we salute the winners of our 20 awards, I am proud to say their work is a tribute to the public’s right to know. As new forms of communication erupt, the incessant drumbeat of the A24-hour news cycle threatens to overwhelm the public desire for information by swamping readers and viewers with instant mediocrity. Our brave winners – and IS PROUD the news organizations that support them – reject the temptation to oversimplify, trivialize and then abandon important events as old news. For them, and for the OPC, the earthquakes in Haiti and Chile, the shifting fronts in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq, the drug wars of Mexico and genocides and commodity grabs in Africa need to be covered thoroughly and with integrity. TO SUPPORT The OPC believes quality journalism will create its own market. In spite of the decimation of the traditional news business, worthwhile journalism can and will survive. Creators of real news will get paid a living wage and the young who desire to quest for the truth will still find journalism viable as a proud profession and a civic good. We back that belief with our OPC Foundation, which awards 12 scholarships a year to deserving students who express their desire to become foreign correspondents while submitting essays on international subjects.
