  • 2019 BEA Convention
    Welcome As Program Chair, it is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the 2019 BEA Convention. Convention As educators, we draw findings from diverse streams of research to provide students with an understanding of the theoretical approaches to the analysis of media texts and, in turn, to Program Chair’s inform their own production practice. In other words, we strive to teach students not just which production techniques work, but why they work. Be that as it may, prominent industry producers continue to be of the view that media production is self-taught and the role of educators is one Welcome of giving students the confidence and inspiration to succeed. Therefore, if we as educators are to serve as mere beacons of inspiration, what roles do our theoretical teachings serve in the professional practice of electronic media? Does the professional practice of media rely on instinct or on the acquisition of specialized skills and knowledge? The BEA2019 Convention Spotlight, Education and Industry: Mediating the Nexus, explores the issues posed by these questions. To that end, we have an exciting line up of presentations and workshops that aim to increase the dialogue between scholars and practitioners in order to aid the former to build new and expand existing industry relationships; to develop curricula in such a way that the insights gained from theory feed into practice, and vice versa; and to identify research gaps and foster collaborative research projects with industry partners. On the academic side, the Research Symposium examines the issue of what it means to be media literate.
