  • BIOGRAPHY BOB WOODRUFF ABC News Correspondent
    BIOGRAPHY BOB WOODRUFF ABC News Correspondent Bob Woodruff joined ABC News in 1996 and has covered major stories throughout the country and around the world for the network. He was named co-anchor of “ABC World News Tonight” in December 2005. On Jan. 29, 2006, while reporting on U.S. and Iraqi security forces, Woodruff was seriously injured by a roadside bomb that struck his vehicle near Taji, Iraq. In February 2007, just 13 months after being wounded, Woodruff returned to ABC News with his first on-air report, “To Iraq and Back: Bob Woodruff Reports.” The hour-long, prime-time documentary chronicled his traumatic brain injury (TBI), his painstaking recovery and the plight of thousands of service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with similar injuries. Since returning to the air, Woodruff has reported from around the globe. He has traveled to North Korea eight times, investigating the growing nuclear threats in the hands of Kim Jong Un. Since 2015, Woodruff has been ABC’s primary correspondent throughout Asia, especially China, reporting on topics ranging from the controversial treatment of Muslims in the Xinjiang province to the United States’ presence in the South China Sea. In 2008, ABC News aired his critically acclaimed documentary “China Inside Out,” which examined how China’s global rise impacts what’s being called the “Chinese Century.” On the streets of Manila, he has seen the rising violence and murders following President Rodrigo Duterte’s drug policies. He traveled to Japan in the wake of the devastating natural disasters to report on the stabilization of nuclear reactors in the country.

Science House: 157-161 Gloucester Street, The Rocks NSW 2000 This course will investigate the dominant critical perspectives that have contributed to the development of Environmental Communication as a field of study. This course explores the premise that the way we communicate powerfully impacts our perceptions of the "natural” world, and that these perceptions shape the way we define our relationships to and within nature, as well as how we define and solve environmental problems. The goal of this course is to access various conceptual frameworks for addressing questions about the relationship between the environment, culture and communication. Students will explore topics such as consumerism, representations of the environment in popular culture and environmental activism. This is a praxis-based course, meaning that a major, hands-on communication project will be based on critical theory. The course will address the following questions: How are environmental problems discussed and mediated within the public realm? How do these rhetorical and visual discourses structure our relationship to environmental crises? How can students create a communication strategy that frames environmental problems in a specific way in order to align the problem with appropriate solutions?

  • Teaching Millennials to Engage the Environment Instead of THEIR Environment: a Pedagogical Analysis
    APPLIED ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION & COMMUNICATION ,VOL.,NO.,– http://dx.doi.org/./X.. Teaching Millennials to engage THE environment instead of THEIR environment: A pedagogical analysis J. Richard Stevensa and Deserai Anderson Crowb,c aDepartment of Media Studies, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, Colorado, USA; bCenter for Environmental Journalism, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, Colorado, USA; cCenter for Science & Technology Policy Research, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, Colorado, USA ABSTRACT This article examines the difficulty in teaching contemporary stu- dents of journalism (those in the much-discussed Millennial Gen- eration) to report on complex topics like science and the envi- ronment. After examining contemporary literature, the authors subjected 120 undergraduate students to a strategy that com- bined visual representations of abstract concepts, media texts, and experiential peer interactions. The results indicate positive outcomes on comprehension and demonstrations of critical anal- ysis from this pedagogical approach. Teaching environmental reporting continues to be a daunting undertaking. Com- pared to other coverage areas of news media, the issues, sources, politics, and even ideological understandings present more challenges to reduce down into journalis- tic news frames. In fact, just understanding the issues involved can be daunting, as one journalist noted: When it comes to systematically covering “the environmental story,” anyone who moves beyond the most simplistic approach sees immediately the extraordinary complexity involved even in mapping the territory, let alone understanding trends, issues, conflicting evidence, the role of information sources, and other aspects of the story.

  • Post-Recovery, Bob Woodru Fights for Brain Injury Survivors
    APRIL/MAY 2016 BY GINA ROBERTS-GREY Post-Recovery, Bob Woodruo Fights for Brain Injury Survivors Bob Woodruo received the best care and a}ention azer a traumatic brain injury (TBI)— and made a remarkable recovery. Today, his foundation tries to ensure the same outcome for other TBI survivors. The details of his story are well-known. On January 29, 2006, Bob Woodruff, a television correspondent for ABC News, was embedded with the United States 4th Infantry Division near Taji, Iraq, to report on US and Iraqi security forces. Clad in helmets and body armor while traveling in an armored vehicle, he and an ABC cameraman stood with their heads above the vehicle's hatch to capture footage for a special report they were working on. Just 27 days earlier, Bob had been named to succeed Peter Jennings as co-anchor of ABC World News Tonight, capping a successful 17-year career as a journalist, covering the death of Pope John Paul II and the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, among other events. He and his wife, Lee, a novelist and contributing reporter to CBS This Morning, had four young children and lived busy, high-powered lives. That all changed when Bob's vehicle hit a roadside bomb. In the explosion of rocks and metal, Bob was critically injured, sustaining shrapnel wounds to the head. Within hours, he was rushed to surgery at an Air Force hospital in Iraq, where he underwent a craniectomy to relieve pressure in his brain. The procedure involves removing part of the skull to allow a swelling brain to expand without being squeezed, explains Gregory O'Shanick, MD, president and medical director of the Center for Neurorehabilitation Services in Richmond, VA, and national medical director emeritus of the Bob Woodruff (top, left) just two Brain Injury Association of America.

  • Central South Native Plant Conference Central South Native
    Central South Native Plant Conference Speaker Mini Biographies Jim Allison retired in July 2004 after more than 15 years of service as a botanist with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. His years of field work in Georgia and the Southeast have produced many significant finds and several “conservation hotspots” he discovered have since received formal protection, most notably the Coosa Prairies and the Bibb County (Alabama) Glades. From the latter, he described and named nine(!) Alabama plants new to science (he has named Georgia plants since, and is working up still more). Increasingly alarmed by the number of uncontrolled invasions of exotic plants as he travelled throughout the South, Jim helped found the Georgia Exotic Pest Plant Council and served as its second president. In December 2006, he accepted a part time ranger-naturalist position at DeKalb County’s Davidson-Arabia Mountain Nature Preserve. Wayne Barger graduated from Jacksonville State University in 1994 and 1996 with B.S./M.S. degrees in Biology and from Auburn University in 2000 with a Ph.D. in Botany. He performed one year of post-doctoral work with the USDA in Stoneville, MS. He taught at the university level for four years and has published numerous peer-reviewed publications. Currently, he is employed as the State Botanist with the Natural Heritage Section/ALDCNR, a position that he has held for three years. Sara Bright has spent the last 30 years photographing the natural treasures of Alabama and the Southeast. After receiving a business degree from Birmingham Southern College, she started a commercial photography business.

    Embedded Reporters: What Are Americans Getting? For More Information Contact: Tom Rosenstiel, Director, Project for Excellence in Journalism Amy Mitchell, Associate Director Matt Carlson, Wally Dean, Dante Chinni, Atiba Pertilla, Research Nancy Anderson, Tom Avila, Staff Embedded Reporters: What Are Americans Getting? Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has suggested we are getting only “slices” of the war. Other observers have likened the media coverage to seeing the battlefield through “a soda straw.” The battle for Iraq is war as we’ve never it seen before. It is the first full-scale American military engagement in the age of the Internet, multiple cable channels and a mixed media culture that has stretched the definition of journalism. The most noted characteristic of the media coverage so far, however, is the new system of “embedding” some 600 journalists with American and British troops. What are Americans getting on television from this “embedded” reporting? How close to the action are the “embeds” getting? Who are they talking to? What are they talking about? To provide some framework for the discussion, the Project for Excellence in Journalism conducted a content analysis of the embedded reports on television during three of the first six days of the war. The Project is affiliated with Columbia University and funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts. The embedded coverage, the research found, is largely anecdotal. It’s both exciting and dull, combat focused, and mostly live and unedited. Much of it lacks context but it is usually rich in detail. It has all the virtues and vices of reporting only what you can see.
