Loyola Students Launch Interactive Web site in Honor of Lincoln Bicentennial
December , 2008— Loyola University Chicago journalism students are celebrating the 200th birthday of one of our country’s greatest presidents, Abraham Lincoln, by launching an interactive Web site. In honor of the official launch of the Web site, there will be a presentation held at noon, Wednesday, December 3, in Beane Hall, 13th Floor of Lewis Towers. All are welcome.
Students enrolled in Professor John Slania’s course, Lincoln and Citizen Journalism, are studying Lincoln in contemporary society and creating a Web magazine packed full of articles, photographs, recorded audio, video, blogs, and much more. The site can be found at www.luc.edu/orgs/lincolnatloyola.
 
"Journalism is shifting in a new direction. This is a wonderful opportunity for students who want to go into journalism, as well as many others fields, to get experience by reporting, writing and telling stories on multiple platforms," Slania said.
 
Organized as a newsroom within the classroom, the students act as an actual media center. They record living history and document Lincoln’s impact on America today while creating a compelling Web magazine that captures the essence of this famous president. The students hope to learn the history and importance of our country’s 16th president and share their findings as a contribution for Illinois’ statewide Lincoln Bicentennial celebration.
 
This class is just one of many courses, presentations, speeches and lectures at Loyola in celebrations of the Bicentennial. Loyola is marking the event with a February 11, appearance of Pulitzer Prize winning author, Doris Kearns Goodwin presenting a lecture on "Lincoln and Leadership."

SPJ Chapter Publishes First Issue of Quarterly

Dear Readers,                                                                                                                                 With this first issue of the Waterfront, the official quarterly publication of Loyola University Chicago’s Society of Professional Journalist Chapter, we present a unique news source for Loyola student journalists. SPJ prides itself on a commitment to excellence in journalism through sound ethical behavior, independence, accountability and the quest for the truth. Loyola’s SPJ chapter advances and advocates these values and this newsletter is an update on our organization’s events, projects and practices. This publication will provide updates of our chapter’s activities and allow students to offer feedback and suggestions. We know biweekly meetings (every 2nd and 4th Monday at 4:30 p.m. in Lewis Towers) do not fit into everyone’s schedule, but we want to ensure that everyone’s voice is heard. It is with great enthusiasm that our chapter presents this publication to a specific audience at Loyola, but with the goal of offering a news source covering a broad range of issues in journalism.                                                                                                    Sincerely,                                                                                                                                     William M.R. Barrett

The chapter is sponsoring a town hall meeting on Dec. 3 in Rubiloff Auditorium with several Chicago political reports to discuss issues of race in coverage of the the presidential election. The discussion will be moderated by Time Inc. reporter Steven Gray. 

On November the chapter hosted in conjunction with the Chicago Headline Club A Magazine Forum. Guests included: Wally Konrad, former editor of Good Housekeeping and Smart Money; Shane Tritsch, managing editor, Chicago Magazine, Lynn Norment, managing editor Ebony and Terry Glover, senior online editor Ebony.

          Forum Examines Chicago’s Top Political Bloggers
          September, 2008—A lively discussion in Kasbeer Hall took place between the panel of political bloggers and the audience during the Sept. 16 forum of Chicago's top political bloggers. The event was sponsored by the School of Communication's Journalism program and moderated by Phil Ponce, host of WTTW’s Chicago Tonight.

          Political bloggers have emerged as important disseminators of information. But while they have had their share of scoops, they also have been accused of spreading false information and sometimes expressing partisan viewpoints. Those issues were addressed by the panel, which represented liberal, conservative and moderate views on the presidential campgain, Illinois politics, and the roles of citizen journalism and traditional media. Issues of self sensorship, monitoring, participant rights and responsibilities were also debated.

          The panel featured: Eric Zorn of the Chicago Tribune, Rich Miller of capitolfax. blogspot.com, Georgia Logothetis of dailykos.com, Fran Eaton of illinoisreview.typepad.com, and Blake Dvorak of realclearpolitics.com.

          One issue participants seemed to agree on was that there were a lot of people adding their input to the various blogs and there is not enough time to review them all.

          Journalism Ricci Scholar Explores Media in Italy and China
          Chicago, July 2008—As a Ricci Scholar*, I was given the opportunity to study abroad in Rome in the fall 2007 and Beijing in spring 2008. The Ricci Scholars program presents an opportunity for undergraduates to conduct intercultural research during their junior year.
           
          During my time in Italy, my project entailed researching and writing a series of articles about the current issues and trends in journalism. I interviewed Italian journalists and student journalists.  I also managed to squeeze in an on site visit to a to the RAI headquarters to interview a number of journalists working at the headquarters. I would be very interested in visiting again because circumstances have surely changed since Prime Minister Berlusconi was voted back into power this spring.
           
          Beijing was a whirlwind of activity with the upcoming Olympics.
           
          As a Journalism major, it’s important to see the way the media functions in other countries to more fully examine the American media that I will work in one day. My ultimate career goal is to become a foreign correspondent. If I return to Italy or China one day then I will already have a head start in examining the media environment in which I will be working. However, even if I work in a different country the experience of investigating journalism Chinese and Italian has given me a better understanding of how deeply the media affects every aspect of a country.

          Platt Presents at First Undergraduate Film Conference
          South Bend, Ind., April, 2008—History major, Daniel Platt, presented a paper he wrote for his Cinema History: War and Revolution class to the University of Notre Dame's Midwest Undergraduate Film Conference in South Bend, Ind., April 11-12. 

          Encouraged by his teacher, Prof. Elizabeth Coffman, Platt submitted the paper, a genre reclassification of the German silent picture "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari," informed by ethnographic theory, to the first of its kind, undergraduate film studies conference.
           
          Impressed by the facilities at Notre Dame’s DeBartolo Performing Arts Center and the multi-media presentations Platt found the experience a positive one. “Reading my paper in front of a group of intelligent scholars - most of them students, not faculty - was fun. The question and answer session was exciting; as I was able to learn what parts of my argument had confused listeners, which parts needed greater defense, and where I might take my research in the future.”

          Rockwell Recognized for Reviewing in TAA         
          Chicago, April 2008—Communication students get a chance to experience Associate Professor Hannah Rockwell in the classroom, but it is her work as an academic reviewer that grabbed the attention of the Text and Academic Authors Association.  An article titled “Reviewing Other’s Work Offers Numerous Lessons” was published in The Academic Author which is the print version of the association’s Web site news coverage.  The profile piece covered a full page and featured a photo of Rockwell.
           
          Writer and editor, Kim Seidel focused on how Rockwell started reviewing manuscripts and what she looks for in other’s work.  According to Seidel for Rockwell first impressions do matter, explaining that Rockwell looks for polish, presentation and clarity in a good manuscript.
           
          Rockwell has been a member of TAA since fall 2007 and is glad to have her work recognized by the organization.  “It was such a happy surprise to show up on page two,” said Rockwell.  After reading the story, she said that Seidel captured her experience accurately and she was glad that the article gave credit to her mentor, Mary S. Strine. 
           
          Rockwell is currently working the manuscript for her own book The Life of Voices: Bodies, Subjects and Dialogue, which she hopes to complete this summer.

          Communication Major Named Ricci Scholar
          Chicago, February, 2008—Communication and International Studies double major, Connor Dearing, along with five other Loyola sophomores, was selected to participate in the Ricci Scholars program for 2008-2009.
           
          Dearing, a sophomore from Buffalo, N.Y., is an officer of the Loyola Swim Club, an occasional writer for the Phoenix, a lifeguard at the McGaw YMCA, and a volunteer at the McCormick Tribune Freedom Museum. In the past he has worked in the English Department, volunteered at the Uptown Soup Kitchen, and attended an alternative break immersion to New Orleans. 
           
          Unlike other international experiences, the Ricci program allows students to engage two cultures within the space of nine months and also challenges them to integrate these experiences with a third culture, that of the United States. The six students will spend the first semester at the John Felice Rome Center, and then will travel to Asia to spend the second semester at the Beijing Center.
           
          Dearing’s project will explore the differences in freedom of expression present in both Italy and China and the role culture plays in how freedom is defined through public modes of expression.

          Our faculty and staff are excited about what this approval means for the Department in the next year—new faculty, new staff, a new building and a new Dean. See dean search for more information about the search for a Dean and our plans for new facilities and program growth.

          The School of Communication will have its headquarters in The Clare, which is the new building under construction next to Lewis Towers and across from Baumhardt Hall on the Water Tower Campus. Classrooms, facilities, faculty and administrative offices will be located on three floors at the base of The Clare, which opens in January 2009. The School's new state of the art "convergence media lab" on the ground floor will support live studio production work for video, audio, and new media.

          Our undergraduate majors in Advertising and Public Relations, Communication, and Journalism provide the curricular base for the School of Communication. We will have additional new faculty and staff to offer these majors in '08-'09, and new curricular growth at the graduate and undergraduate levels in the future. The School will continue to provide curricular and facility support for the International Film and Media Studies program and for WLUW.

          If students have any questions about the School of Communication, please ask a faculty member or your adviser in the Communication Department or contact our administrative offices.

          —Elizabeth Coffman, Chair
