There are entire programs devoted to discussions of news media and what they report. Once a month we go even broader, considering events in news media and media more generally, including the entertainment side.
We welcome back our regulars, Chris Lucas from the Southern Oregon University Communication faculty and Humboldt State University Journalism Chair Victoria Sama. It's not all about politics in the media (though we could spend hours on that).
Join us for a discussion that can include topics as disparate as virtual reality cinema and the best Jane Austen books.
The media choices for this month:
Vicky focuses on Instagram sites:
- Jimmy Chin's page, he's a filmmaker and photographer (website here)
- Veloist, a celebration of bicycles and more by Michael Valenti (website here)
Chris went for movies and TV:
- "American Utopia," David Byrne's concert movie on HBO
- "Queen's Gambit," a series about a young chess player on Netflix
- "The Dilemma of Desire," a documentary featured November 13-19 by Ashland Independent Film Festival
