There’s no prime time. There’s no such thing as must-see TV. Everyone’s composing their own flow. And once you start becoming the composer of your own flow, you can’t go back.

As we trace the origins of web television and compare the outlet of the internet broadcast television to that of traditional broadcast television, we are better able to teach our students about the co-existence and acceptance of new distribution outlets.

By following the many new models of web television, our students can grasp the idea of how to produce HIGH QUALITY content for the web.

My research has been presented in Las Vegas this past April at the Broadcast Education Association Convention at a panel titled "Teaching Television Production in the Age of YouTube." I will be following up my research at the 2010 BEA Convention with the panel "Pedagogy and Production in the Age of YouTube, Revisited." This research will also be part of my Master's Thesis titled "Defending the Intellectual in Television and New Media" for my Master of Arts in Comparative Arts and Culture.

Please follow along with my research notes at my wordpress blog.
