The ability to dance in different worlds and have industries converge seems to be a major theme of transmedia. Independent filmmakers who work at Scribe, and who typically might do a lot of their filmmaking on their own, must now work with people who don’t know much about filmmaking and don’t have the traditional tools […]  Building connections across platforms was the unifying thread that weaved all of commentators’ ideas about transmedia, together. Of course there was plenty discussion on the different opinions about what the definition of transmedia is, debate if transmedia should even be called transmedia (crossmedia; multiplatform), the difference between Hollywood transmedia (for profit marketing) and community storytelling […] The Scribe Video Center and the panelists involved in the Transmedia discussion are all about giving a voice to groups and issues that would otherwise be unheard. For example, Jo Elle Kaiser of the Media Consortium said the organizations’ goal was to direct public discourse to compel people to action. The example she provided regarding […] I grew up on the Chesapeake Bay, near Annapolis, MD. My father was not in the Navy; he was an engineer. My mother was also not in the Navy; she was a college English lit professor turned standardized test prep instructor. And neither were environmentalists, but the beauty of the bay outside my back window […] Hello! My name is Allyson, and I’m entering this program after a year in Eugene with UO’s Environmental Studies program. When I came back to school I’d been working at an environmental nonprofit for two years and was frustrated with the experience, mainly because of a hurdle I recognized while reading Philips’ case study: I […] Aloha fellow ducks, I graduated from the U of O back in 1993.

I am probably looking at it right now and yet I feel like I am having a hard time seeing it. I imagine there […] Test, test … is this thing on? Howdy, my name is Kevin, and I guess I’m here because I was ready for a change. I graduated from the U of O SOJC in 2007 bright-eyed and ready to make my mark on the journalism world. After a two-year stint on twice-a-week newspaper in Prineville, Ore., […] I am 50 years old. I’m not going to lie: My reasons for getting a master’s degree at my age are primarily motivated by greed. In short, I want a better job with a higher pay check. It’s also true, however, to say that I’ve always wanted a master’s degree, and there were always reasons […] |

Week 1: Jamie Schaub – The New Yorker – Burying the Hatchet
Hi, This is in response to the article Helen linked to, titled Burying the Hatchet. I enjoyed reading about the author’s experience as a book critic, and his transparency about why being critical (in a non-constructive kind of way) was more meaningful to him at that time in his career, rather than saying something ‘nice.’
