Convergence, Confluence or Confusion? : The Impact of New Media
by Tom Hodson, J.D., Associate Professor
Is “new media” controlling both the delivery systems of news, visuals and information and the content of what is being disseminated? Are social networking avenues molding the landscape of how we communicate with each other? Can traditional journalism maintain its voice even if it is being delivered in a mobile and personal way?
These are just some of the questions to be discussed by a stellar group of international experts, highly placed working journalists, award winning visual communicators and noted scholars at the second annual Schuneman Symposium on Photojournalism and New Media on April 8 at Ohio University’s Baker University Center. The focus of this year’s symposium is “Convergence, Confluence or Confusion: The Impact of New Media.”

“New Media” and Politics: April 9th
by Tom Hodson, J.D., Associate Professor
The 2008 election brought monumental change to the Presidency but it also marked significant changes in how campaigns are run and how they are covered by the media.
The impact of the Internet and “new media” changed the face of the electoral politics and election coverage forever. It is this changing political and media landscape that will be examined, in detail, on April 9th at the first Schuneman Symposium on Photojournalism and New Media sponsored by the E. W. Scripps School of Journalism and alumni R. Smith Schuneman and Patricia W. Schuneman.
