CSULB Journalism Professor Barbara Kingsley-Wilson, who advises the Daily 49er, reminded me this morning that Journalism Day on campus is April 28. She sent along a nice write-up that explains the events.
Here it is:
Changing face of global news is focus of Journalism Day at CSULB April 28
How are journalists working overseas affected by the changes sweeping the media world? Foreign correspondents and academic experts will examine that question and others for a program on "Global news, global citizens," Tuesday, April 28 at the ballrooms in the University Student Union at CSULB.
Pete Fuentes, an award-winning broadcaster who now focuses on special products and media training in Mexico, says, more than ever, journalists working abroad must be resourceful, multi-skilled and, increasingly, independent.
"The future of reporting domestically or abroad rests on the shoulders of journalists who operate as a one-man band," said Fuentes, a veteran broadcaster who won multiple awards working in New York City and San Diego. "They're able to shoot video, edit, research and file reports via the Internet from anywhere in the world."
Fuentes, an independent producer and consultant for Televisa in Mexico, will deliver the keynote address and participate in a panel on the "Changes for the Foreign Media -- Profile of the New Foreign Correspondent." He will be joined by Fernando Mexia, West Coast correspondent for Efe, the leading Spanish-language news agency, as well as Professor Roberto Suro of USC, a former New York Timesand Washington Post correspondent, and Dr. Richard Marcus, the director of International Studies at CSULB.
Journalists from the Los Angeles Times and the BBC will discuss the challenges working abroad and in the United States. Iraq war correspondent Tony Perry and Sam Quinones, who spent 10 years as a Mexico City correspondent, will join Los Angeles BBC correspondent Rajesh Mirchandani.
At a concurrent panel focusing on public relations, professionals in the business will discuss the similarities and differences working with international media as well as how to get a company's message to an international audience. That panel will feature Bock Communications CEO Christine Bock, as well as Tim Scerba, executive vice president, GolinHarris; Jacqueline Quintanilla, vice president of Edelman, and Art Wong, assistant director of communications for the Port of Long Beach.
The event runs from 9 to 2:30 with a break for lunch. A student awards reception follows at the Anatol Center at 5.
