Rethinking the Narrative: Media Framing and Alternative Perspectives on the Palestinian Question

Critiquing media coverage of any global event always falls into the category of “in-the-eyes-of- the-beholder” subjectivity, depending on the interests and concerns of the audiences that are receiving the reportage. This presentation will feature the unique perspective of a veteran journalist who for decades has covered the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from a critical perspective that is generally absent from U.S. mainstream news outlets, one that emphasizes human rights, and giving voice to those least heard in the media.

Featuring Amy Goodman, award-winning journalist, host and executive producer of Democracy Now, a daily, international, multi-platform news and public affairs program.

In conversation with Mario A. Murillo, Professor of Radio, Journalism and Latin American Studies, Vice Dean, The Lawrence Herbert School of Communication

PRESIDENTIAL SYMPOSIUM: Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education: Friend or Foe? Tuesday, September 26-Thursday, September 28, 2023

Artificial Intelligence has rapidly entered our daily lives in diverse ways, from steering our vacuum cleaners to producing our weather forecasts. It promises tremendous benefits, but also seems to threaten us in new ways, potentially undercutting personal privacy, media authenticity, and even national security. In higher education, the public release of ChatGPT in November 2022 has been seen as a watershed moment, as anyone can use a chat interface to produce remarkably specific kinds of text. In classrooms, longstanding methods of teaching, learning, assessment, and even preserving academic integrity may be transformed. Meanwhile, academic researchers across disciplines are finding that a wide range of AI tools can contribute to analyses and even deliver new knowledge. And AI may even transform how colleges and universities conduct their non-academic business, from admissions to student-services. So, what are limits of AI, technologically? And what are our limits for it, ethically? What possibilities can we imagine for using it and managing its influence, and where or should we put on the brakes? For a full schedule go to http://tiny.cc/z2ibvz.

ALL SESSIONS WILL BE HELD IN THE LEO A. GUTHART CULTURAL CENTER THEATER, AXINN LIBRARY, SOUTH CAMPUS, UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED.

This event is FREE and open to the public. Advance registration is required. We are pleased to welcome the community, including family members, local school children alumni and friends, to cultural events on campus.

The News Desert in Our Back Yard: Preliminary Findings of the Presidential Research Project on Media Coverage in our Community

The Lawrence Herbert School of Communication presents

The News Desert in Our Back Yard

Preliminary Findings of the Presidential Research Project on Media Coverage in our Community

Even though Hofstra University sits in one of the biggest media markets in the world, the surrounding community has become a “news desert” – where newspapers are in decline and local news coverage is shrinking – producing a measurable and consequential deterioration in the civic dialogue. The emergence of “news deserts” is a national phenomenon, and presents serious challenges to underrepresented communities and grassroots organizations. In some “news deserts,” such as ours, universities and student journalists are stepping up to help fill the void with projects such as Hofstra’s “LongIslandAdvocate.com.” The panel will present the early results of its in-depth study of our local news desert – and continue a conversation and brainstorming with community leaders on how to rebuild and strengthen local news coverage. Refreshments will be served.

Introduced by Mark Lukasiewicz, Dean, The Lawrence Herbert School of Communication

Panelists:

Mario A. Murillo, Professor, Vice Dean, LHSC; Aashish Kumar, Professor, Radio, Television, Film; Scott Brinton, Assistant Professor, Journalism
