The Frank Wood Media press room was dedicated Monday at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay’s new media center in honor of the late publisher Frank Wood, reports The (Green Bay) press time.

Franck Bois

Wood, who was inducted into the Wisconsin Newspaper Hall of Fame in 2002owned by Brown County Publishing, the Green Bay News Column, and other weekly newspapers in the region. He also taught at St. Norbert College. His family continues to publish newspapers through Multi Media Channels, which owns The press time.

The Newsroom is one of many spaces in the new Media Center, which will be a space for experimentation, where students can experience and add to the cross-platform nature of media and content production.

The $5.7 million renovation coincides with the revival of student-run media at UW-Green Bay, including radio, television and digital journalism platforms. This was made possible through a combination of public funds and donations from local businesses and individuals, including Multi Media Channels and Sinclair Broadcasting, the parent company of WLUK Fox 11.

Frank’s son Chris, who spoke at the event, said his father always had a selfless view of the role a newspaper could play in his community if properly managed.

“Frank Wood’s legacy was to provide Green Bay and surrounding areas with a second voice,” he said. “It was his business before his death on May 27, 2011.”

Special: 20th CPC National Congress

As the world closely watches China’s upcoming big political event – the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) – with widespread international media coverage, the congress media center’s website and social media accounts have open Monday to facilitate public access to information on the big event.

To give the public around the world access to information about the congress, press conferences and press interviews, a website and social media accounts on WeChat, Weibo and Toutiao for the media center opened on Monday.

The media center, which will process credentials and interview requests from overseas journalists and journalists from the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macao, as well as the island of Taiwan, is expected to open on Wednesday. The center will also hold press conferences and organize coverage of the congress for journalists, Xinhua News Agency reported.

The media center website will fully display the characteristics of the omnimedia era, integrating functions such as authoritative publication, interview services and news inquiry. The website offers bilingual versions in Chinese and English, as well as reports on the congress in French, Russian, Arabic and Spanish. Users can also check the list of congress deputies, basic information about the CPC, and information about previous Party congresses on the website.

To facilitate the submission of interview requests from delegates to the 20th CPC National Congress, the press center will launch the interview request system on Wednesday. Due to the impact of COVID-19, delegates will be available for online and written interviews only.

According to the media center‘s website, in order to help Chinese and foreign journalists learn more about China with their own eyes, the center will organize a number of tours and reports for journalists from Wednesday to Friday.

For example, on Wednesday morning, they will visit an exhibition “Forging ahead in the new era” at the Beijing Exhibition Center, which showcases China’s great achievements in various fields since the 18th CPC National Congress. On Wednesday afternoon, they will visit the central axis of Beijing and learn about the history of the capital. On Friday afternoon, they will be invited to visit the Beijing New Actuation Fintech Center and the “Rising Financial Technology” exhibition to learn more about financial innovation in China.

In October 2017, a total of 3,068 Chinese and foreign reporters reported on the 19th CPC National Congress, including 1,818 foreign reporters, setting a record in the history of national Party congresses, People’s Daily reported. Many journalists came from member countries of the Belt and Road Initiative and BRICS.

How will the XX National Party Congress, a major event in the political life of the Party and the State, affect the country and the world?

A Pakistani media outlet Pakistan Observer wrote on Saturday that the CCP has played a “constructive” role in promoting dialogue among civilizations around the world with an inclusive Chinese vision, in line with the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind. . . The report noted that “the upcoming 20th CPC National Congress has great significance not only for China and its people, but also for the rest of the world.”

Also, many media outlets such as Singapore’s leading newspaper, Lianhe Zaobao, launched a special column to cover this major political event.

The chaos of the world and the governance of China – this is the great contrast between the international and national contexts of the congress. In this context, the certainty that should be brought by the congress, adherence to the path of peaceful development and pursuit of reform and opening up will bring more stability to China and the world, Chinese experts said. .

While details of the upcoming congress have yet to be released, there is no doubt that the congress will be the start of a new journey for China’s development and its role in international affairs, analysts said.

China has made outstanding achievements for the world in the past decade, and in the next decade the country will continue to adhere to the principle of peaceful coexistence, to be committed to the concept of a community with a shared future for humanity and to closely link its development with the development of the whole world, Yang Xuedong, professor of political science at Tsinghua University, told the Global Times.

Over the past decade, China has shared its achievements and experience of peaceful development with other countries, especially with a large number of developing countries, Yang said. The observer cited the Belt and Road Initiative and building the China-Africa community as examples, noting that these are the practices of China’s commitment to development and peaceful cooperation.

Considering China’s achievements, the CCP has always kept its commitments to its people and the world, which is why all parts of the world expect a lot from the congress, and why the congress will bring certainty to China and around the world as the international community undergoes profound changes not seen in a century, Yang said.

“We talked about the chaos of the world and the governance of China. This is actually the great contrast between the international and domestic contexts of the 20th CPC National Congress,” said Zhang Shuhua, director of the Institute of Science. policies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

“The upcoming congress will strengthen the stability of Chinese society, and it will also act as a pillar against the backdrop of a chaotic and confusing world, because the Chinese path has always been one of continuity,” Zhang said.

Faced with some Western media’s slander on China and the big political event, Zhang replied that the groundless stigmatization of some Western countries, led by the United States, revealed that they still refused to accept the fact that China is growing so well. “The more anxious and unconfident the West becomes, the more it will assess a gentleman’s heart with its own petty measure,” Zhang said.

But these countries are not representative of the world, and the majority of countries and regions in the world are looking forward to China’s development, as it can bring them lasting help, Zhang said.

THE MODERATOR: We have now been joined by our race winner, Chase Elliott.

We’ll start with questions for Chase.

Q A few playoff drivers, Hamlin, Blaney, said they had their eye on winning the race, but also looking at the big picture in the points. In what state of mind were you in the last laps?

HUNT ELLIOTT: Yeah, I mean, I don’t really know where we were. I think we got pretty decent stage points throughout the day. I don’t know where we were.

I just felt like when we took to the green for the restart, I thought my chance to win was to get in the top lane. It was certainly a risky move. I felt like we racked up a decent amount of stage points throughout the day, so that made me feel a little better about getting up there, trying to give me a chance to win.

I just didn’t think I was going to be able to win from lane three, the bottom row, with those few laps to go. I just thought it was my shot.

Luckily I moved up there, gave me the right push for the lap and a half, I was far enough ahead to hold Ryan at the line.

Q What do you think of the tie between your current teammate Kyle Larson but Kasey Kahne and Geoff Bodine on the all-time winning list at 18?

HUNT ELLIOTT: I did not know. It’s really cool. A little hard to believe honestly, I mean 18.

Yeah, I’m super proud of that honestly. Just knowing how tough we were, being 18 now is really special. I’d like to keep adding to that obviously over time. Very grateful for the 18 we have. Proud of our team.

It was the same team for the most part, there were a few changes in there, but Alan and Tom, myself on team 9, Eddie, we’ve been there all the way. It’s something special. Proud that we were able to grow together and give each other so many opportunities to catch checkered flags. I hope we can get some more.

Q With Jones, did you have to brake? How did you stay so connected with him?

HUNT ELLIOTT: Everything depended on him. He knew how to give me a very good push. I didn’t feel like I did anything special. I think just when he connected, and the two guys down there were also connected, so they weren’t aggressive recruiting us, trying to separate us.

Yeah, it was just the right time. He did a very good job. I think he deserves a ton of credit for that. Obviously, I’m very grateful that he committed to me during the last lap and a half.

I have a lot of respect for Erik. I ran with him long enough to trust him in this situation and not run over. We certainly pushed to the limit (smiles). It was a handful, but that’s kind of what you have to do in these scenarios. I thought he had balanced that well.

Q You get a big push there, left there by yourself. Coming to the line, did you think you had enough distance to be able to cover them or that you were too far?

HUNT ELLIOTT: I was certainly worried. I saw the 34 disconnect from the 12 at turn four. I thought this was my opportunity, so I tried to get down and pull Ryan as hard as I could, get away, try to get away. I thought that was my safest place.

Yeah, when they’re side by side again, I was a little scared of going too far. When they found each other side by side for this short time, I thought that was enough for me to succeed. I knew it was probably going to be close. Ryan was going to have such a good run, I didn’t really know how I was going to block it. I tried to waste as much time as possible and hope I got to the line first.

Q Racing Ryan, good friends, does that help you when you’re competing against him? Do you know what he can or cannot do? What is the dynamic?

HUNT ELLIOTT: I mean, obviously I know Ryan very well. I don’t know what decision he’s going to make in this particular scenario. A lot of times I don’t know, even as a pilot, until you’re faced with it and have to make a quick choice as to what you think is the right decision at that moment.

I’m not smart enough to put it all together, stay ahead of him, that’s for sure. I’m just trying to make the right decisions based on the information, the things I see, as quickly as possible, hopefully for the best.

Q There’s no added benefit to knowing him as well as you do?

HUNT ELLIOTT: Yes, we are still friends. But we also want to win. I think we both understand. We have always had a really very respectful friendship on the circuit, but also a very good understanding of our jobs and the challenges of Sunday.

Q Have you spoken with Alex, do you know if he can come to the Roval?

HUNT ELLIOTT: I spoke to him after hearing everything. Obviously, I have no idea of ​​his status. I’m definitely not going to speculate on that.

Q You ran with Noah Gragson. As a first-time teammate, what was that experience like before the start of the race?

HUNT ELLIOTT: Yeah, that was good. I know Noah from his time at JRM, obviously my story there. Some of his Cup races too. I thought he had done a good job. I thought he made good decisions.

Really overall I thought everyone was pretty smart about the things they were doing today, kind of understanding where the line was, what we could get away with, what We could not. It was good.

I wish it would continue in these places, but I’m sure it won’t. Yeah, I just thought it was a really good race. Everyone kind of understood where that boundary was, lived right within it. Put on a really good show to the finish line.

Q You talk about a race without many precautions, clean. What do you think of the race in general, exciting to watch for the fans?

HUNT ELLIOTT: Yeah, like I said, I thought it was a good show. Another close finish right at the start/finish line. Not much more than you can really ask for.

Q Have these playoffs challenged you in any other way that others haven’t? Is winning a relief because of the unknown ups and downs?

HUNT ELLIOTT: Yeah, I mean, I feel like I’ve been doing this long enough now to understand the roller coaster running. It’s going to roll, right? Either you learn to ride it on good days, on bad days too, or you don’t. It’s just part of the deal.

So yeah, just try to ride the wave. I had a bad week last week, I had a good week this week. Obviously good to move on to the next round, get six more bonus points. All these things are fantastic, we are very proud of them.

This agreement can humiliate you. We can go to Round of 8 and crash again like we did the first two rounds, or you can go there and maybe have a really good first run.

I do not know. You show up prepared, do your best, go from there.

Q Given that you won half of the races at the Roval, did that factor into the roll of the dice at the end?

HUNT ELLIOTT: No. No. I was just trying to think in the moment what I felt like I could do, be smart, give myself a chance to win today, yeah.

No, I wish I could piece things together that far in advance. I just don’t have it in me.

THE MODERATOR: Chased, thank you.

Robertson Media Center is a hidden gem for creatives – The Cavalier Daily https://saar-new-media.com/robertson-media-center-is-a-hidden-gem-for-creatives-the-cavalier-daily/ Sat, 17 Sep 2022 20:34:10 +0000 https://saar-new-media.com/robertson-media-center-is-a-hidden-gem-for-creatives-the-cavalier-daily/ Nestled on the third floor of the Clemons Library, the Robertson Media Center has a treasure trove of creative technology resources available free to university students and staff.

Nestled on the third floor of the Clemons Library, the Robertson Media Center has a treasure trove of creative technology resources available free to university students and staff. Its spaces include audio and video recording studios, a 3D printing studio, virtual reality spaces and computer labs. Forget the books – there are albums to record, documentaries to film and cartoons to animate, all in the library.

RMC staff offer one-on-one consultations and specialized workshops as well as basic training for many of their resources. However, no expertise is needed to try out much of the creative technology available, although most spaces require reservation and some have brief virtual orientations.

Josh Thorud, librarian for multimedia teaching and learning at the media center, explains that often students can jump in with nothing but a creative vision in hand and learn along the way.

“That’s really what it’s there for — experimentation, innovation, just trying to get people to be creative and experiment with creative technologies,” Thorud said. “Just come in and try something.”

When entering RMC, the big decision is which space to explore first. The video production studio is the most eye-catching. Upon entering the room, the backdrops are front and center.

“It’s really cool to see people the first time they go to a green screen,” Thorud said. “They come in and look around and then they can stand anywhere…the options are endless, in that sense. It’s like a magic trick.

In front of the green screen are director’s chairs and other props, professional cameras and a teleprompter. Lighting and audio are already configured for users. This supports the studio’s mission according to Thorud – to be accessible and inclusive while providing access to high-end equipment.

Besides the main video studio, students can go to “G-Lab” when not in use to edit with iMovie or Adobe Premiere Pro, or book a workspace in the Digital Media Lab to use these software on a dual-monitor setup. . The Digital Media Lab also offers options for those with niche film interests. Anyone can bring VHS tapes and film slides to explore digitization, and those with experience can work with a Steenback film editor.

But the RMC is home to more than film resources. Audiophiles have their fair share of options as they head to the audio studio, one of their most popular spaces. It comes equipped with three sound booths, each with two microphones, various music production tools, and computer access to Audacity, Garage Band, Logic Pro, Sound Studio, and more.

Students have already done everything from music to studio podcasts, with some projects going public. A notable example is “Song Stories”a podcast created by freshmen in conjunction with the ENWR course “American Roots Music”, published on WTJU in 2020.

A few doors down from these audio booths is the 3D printing studio, another of RMC’s top attractions. A “Star Wars” inspired Mandalorian helmet large enough to wear sits above a math project on the rack at the front of the room.

“It’s a huge range of projects, from memorabilia to costumes to art projects,” Thorud said.

This is possible thanks to the wide choice of materials and machines available. The 3D printing studio currently has seven 3D printers open for reservation, of different brands and models. Although the materials are usually expensive, students can 3D print for free after completing a dissertation. initial training session.

Further down the open space of RMC is another unique offering: two immersive virtual reality spaces. A large carpet marks the room-scale movement of each virtual space. According to Pallavi Vemuri, a college sophomore and digital media consultant, the most popular use of these VR systems is playing video games. However, the space also houses development software for those looking to get involved in the technical side.

Even when it’s time to leave RMC, there are a range of technologies available for use outside of physical space, as they offer a range of technologies for control. Everything from high-end cameras to projectors to lighting setups are open to students and staff.

Unique projects have been created by students in the past using equipment rented from RMC. The students of the basic multimedia reporting class have been created “Spring Broken: College on COVID”for example, in 2020. CIOs are also heavy users of rentals for various unique purposes.

“There was a CIO who was trying to do this project with a kind of almost surround sound,” Vemuri said. “It’s the kind of audio system where when you’re in different parts of the room, you can hear different things. So if you’re in a corner of the room you hear one thing, if you’re in a different corner of a room you hear something else, but the placement of all this equipment means that the sound doesn’t come in not in conflict with each other.

At the Robertson Media Center, the options are endless for unique creative production. No matter the interest or skill level, the third floor of the Clemons Library has the tools to turn creative dreams into reality with its plethora of creative technologies at no cost.

Overland Trail Museum Celebrates Grand Opening of Print Shop and Media Center – Sterling Journal-Advocate https://saar-new-media.com/overland-trail-museum-celebrates-grand-opening-of-print-shop-and-media-center-sterling-journal-advocate/ Fri, 09 Sep 2022 16:07:50 +0000 https://saar-new-media.com/overland-trail-museum-celebrates-grand-opening-of-print-shop-and-media-center-sterling-journal-advocate/ Former journalist LeRoy Reitz, right, and current Journal-Advocate editor Jeff Rice examine an Intertype built by the Intertype Manufacturing Company in September 1920 for the Denver Post newspaper during the grand opening of the new printing plant and the Overland Trail Museum Media Center.

Overland Trail Museum officially unveiled its new building Thursday night with a grand opening celebration. The new Print Shop and Media Center offers visitors a chance to see various printing equipment, including a printing press and a Linotype machine, and also learn about the long history of newspapers in Logan County.

“It’s been a long time coming,” said curator Kay Rich.

The museum’s former printing press bore the brunt of the South Platte River flood in 2013 and much of the printing equipment was damaged and has not been on display since. Rich didn’t know the exact cost of restoring the equipment, but said “it was huge.”

“I have never appreciated the City and our insurance so much in my life. When the flood hit we couldn’t get into the building for about seven days and it was hot, it was September, it was hot and so everything just lay there rusty and moldy and it wasn’t. was just a nightmare,” Rich explained. “Luckily everything was restored, then we went through the process of building a building, then COVID happened, the opening was scheduled for spring 2020, COVID happened and we didn’t been able to get the sand from the sidewalks in, we took it out to bid repeatedly and everyone was so far behind it took a long time. So, we are just happy that this print shop is finally open. »

Guests at the grand opening included a few members of the Logan County Historical Society; longtime retired Logan County reporters Myron House and LeRoy Reitz; former owners and founders of the South Platte Sentinel, Delinda Korrey and Ken McDowell; former Sentinel staff and current Journal-Advocate/Sentinel staff.

Following Rich’s remarks, Benjamin Franklin, played by David C. Wood, spoke about his years in the printing business. He pointed out that most of the equipment in the museum’s print shop was very modern to him and came after his time.

Franklin worked with his father for a time in his soap and candle making business, but he hated it. Then his brother James returned from England, where he worked as a printer, and at age 12 Franklin became his apprentice to learn how to be a printer. He stayed there until he ran away at age 17.

After that, Franklin fled to Philadelphia, where he remained for the rest of his life and found a job as a printer for a Jewish man, Samuel Keimer, and helped him get his printing house in order. . They began to put out a much better product than ever before, so the Royal Governor of Pennsylvania, William Keith, came to Franklin and said he would help fund a new printing press.

Under his guidance, Franklin traveled to London to buy equipment and start a business. Keith was to write letters of recommendation and a letter of credit to purchase the press and type, paper and necessary equipment and supplies, but to Franklin’s surprise, Keith’s letters never arrived.

When he got to England he didn’t have a penny, so Franklin had to go and work with a man named Samuel Palmer, who had one of the big printing companies in London, and then he worked for John Watts, who had the largest printing press in all of London,

There, Franklin learned that he was the first American man and settler able to engrave copper plates, and he learned to cast type or create new type.

He eventually returned home, started his own printing company and eventually bought out Samuel Keimer and started publishing the Pennsylvania Gazette. Franklin made it for the first half of his life and sold it when he was 42.

Although he focused on other things later, he always had a printing press. He made two more trips to London and one to Paris and he always had a little little printing press with him so he could print stuff and post notices or make little newspapers.

Franklin, who had with him a copy of the very last Poor Richard’s Almanack he ever produced and other hand-picked productions he wrote, told the public that working in a press is not at all difficile, “the hardest thing about being a printer is setting type and being able to write upside down and upside down,” he said.

After his talk, guests watched museum staff member Zach Pomeroy demonstrate how to operate the small red printing press that is part of the exhibit. They also explored the four exhibition spaces, including a commercial machine area housing the first typewriters, an adding machine, a switchboard and more; a camera and theater area with a large collection of cameras, including early cameras, seats from the Sterling Municipal Auditorium, speakers from the Starlite drive-in and a photo collection from the official photographer of Logan County; and a third larger area filled with newspaper machines including a printing press, intertype, and tape casting.

In the children’s area, young and old tried out different forms of printing using stamps and a manual typewriter and were also able to use an old telephone.

Guests were also able to take a look at the museum’s collections storage, which is not normally open to the public, which is next to the printing press and includes the archives of the Journal-Advocate and Sentinel, and enjoy of a hamburger dinner at the High Plains Education Center.
