A second project, the article &ldquo;The Extemporaneous Newscast: The Lasting Impact of Walter Cronkite&rsquo;s Local TV News Experiment,&rdquo; is set for the summer issue of the journal American Journalism.<br><br>Both Cronkite and Hewitt shaped television news. Cronkite, who died July 17, served as anchor and managing editor at CBS for a generation, covering major cultural events such as the Vietnam War, President John F. Kennedy&rsquo;s assassination, the moon landing and Watergate. At the time of his death Aug. 19 at 86 years old, Hewitt still was working as a producer-at-large. He&rsquo;s best known for creating the landmark television CBS show, <em>60 Minutes</em>, which he produced for 40 years. <br><br>Conway interviewed both men when researching material for his forthcoming book and article.<br><br>&ldquo;Cronkite was an accidental television pioneer,&rdquo; said Conway. Like many, Cronkite worked in radio, but when he moved to TV, he looked directly into the camera, not at a script, and talked to his audience. &ldquo;He knew the news so well, he could do the broadcasts extemporaneously.&rdquo; <br><br>It was this unique area of inquiry that helped Conway secure his 2005 interview with Cronkite in the broadcaster&rsquo;s CBS office in Manahattan. <br><br>&ldquo;His staffers told me that when he found out I wanted to learn about his early days on television in D.C., he got excited about it,&rdquo; said Conway. &ldquo;And he was genuinely excited to talk about it.&rdquo;<br><br>During the interview, Cronkite told Conway that in those early days, he made very brief notes to himself before a broadcast, taping them to the back of his nameplate so they could remain hidden from the camera. <br><br>&ldquo;What I did was just to write proper names that I might not be able to remember, or distances, or something where I need to have the exact number,&rdquo; said Cronkite on the video interview Conway shot.  &ldquo;In that case, I wrote in very small type. I couldn&rsquo;t even see it today with these glasses, but in the smallest type. When I needed the name, or number, I could glance down quickly and get it.&rdquo;  <br><br>As Conway describes him, Cronkite was an authoritative media presence, but also a compassionate one. By looking directly into the camera, Conway writes in the article, Cronkite could connect with the audience immediately. And even when Cronkite moved on to larger, national audience, he never lost that gift when it came to live news coverage, says Conway, something that helped him rise to such levels of success.<br><br><table width="200" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="right">    <tbody>        <tr>            <td><img  width="200" alt="Conway book cover" src="http://journalism.indiana.edu/wp-content/uploads/wpMain_/image/news-stories-fall-09/conway-cover-web.jpg"></td>        </tr>        <tr>            <td><span class="photoCaption">Conway&#8217;s book looks at the early years of television news and the innovators who shaped the medium.</span></td>        </tr>    </tbody></table>Conway&rsquo;s interview with Hewitt was in preparation for his new book, which uncovers the small group of people at CBS who experimented with the new medium of television news in the 1940s, a time when popular radio journalists dismissed the medium. More than just recreating newsreels, newspapers or radio in a new format, Conway argues that these relatively unknown innovators created a format that exploited television&rsquo;s strengths as a visual medium. <br><br>As soon as Conway decided to seriously pursue these origins of broadcast news, he went quickly to work scheduling interviews with the members of this CBS group. Some already had died by the time his project began. Conway interviewed Hewitt in 2003.<br><br>&ldquo;He was this amazing force,&rdquo; said Conway of the man who joined CBS in 1948, about the time Conway&rsquo;s book leaves off. &ldquo;He came up with so many of the things that really are conventions in broadcast journalism today.&rdquo; Some of those conventions include the use of names on screen under interviews and concepts and terms such as A-roll and B-roll.<br><br>&ldquo;He was working and coming up with ideas until the day he died,&rdquo; said Conway.<br><br>Conway&rsquo;s book fills in an important gap in broadcast news history, says Mike Murray, a professor at the University of Missouri-St. Louis and editor-in-chief of the Encyclopedia of Television News.<br><br>&ldquo;It addresses very important &lsquo;unsolved mysteries&rsquo; concerning television&rsquo;s early development,&rdquo; he said in an e-mail. &ldquo;This makes a tremendous contribution to the literature, particularly by way of filling in many of the gaps about what we know took place and who was ultimately responsible.&rdquo;  <br><br>For Conway, the book is also important because of its parallels to today&rsquo;s online industry transitions.<br><br>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s always hard to fight existing media,&rdquo; said Conway. &ldquo;People who do this are trying to see the future, and they are often ignored or ridiculed.&rdquo;<br><br><h3 class="postSubSubTitle">In their own words:</h3><br><table width="200" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="right">    <tbody>        <tr>            <td><img  width="200" alt="walter cronkite" src="http://journalism.indiana.edu/wp-content/uploads/wpMain_/image/news-stories-fall-09/cronkite-web.jpg"></td>        </tr>    </tbody></table>Hear Cronkite&#8217;s and Hewitt&#8217;s reflections of their early careers on these clips from assistant professor Mike Conway&#8217;s videotaped interviews:<br><ul>    <li><a href="/libraries/template_library/pop_ups/video_window.php?file=Cronkite%2FCronkite+Clip+2.mp4&amp;sid=&amp;text=Clip+1%3A%26nbsp%3B%26quot%3B%26%238230%3Bthis+funny+stuff+on+television%26%238230%3B%26quot%3B" class="videoWindowLink" onclick="Utilities.openNewWindow('/libraries/template_library/pop_ups/video_window.php?file=Cronkite%2FCronkite+Clip+2.mp4&amp;sid=&amp;text=Clip+1%3A%26nbsp%3B%26quot%3B%26%238230%3Bthis+funny+stuff+on+television%26%238230%3B%26quot%3B',Utilities.WindowType.POPUP_MIDSMALL);return false;" tabindex="32767" title="Clip 1:&amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;&amp;#8230;this funny stuff on television&amp;#8230;&amp;quot;" target="_new">Clip 1:&nbsp;&quot;&#8230;this funny stuff on television&#8230;&quot;</a> <span class="grayed">(10.59MB)</span><br>    Cronkite was hired by Edward R. Murrow in 1950 to cover the Korean War and helped develop the newscast at WTOP television in Washington, D.C., while he waited to go to Korea.  But Cronkite did so well on the newscasts that CBS did not want to send him to Korea.  Cronkite was so upset at being assigned to &quot;this funny stuff on television&quot; that he took the train to New York to see CBS president Frank Stanton.

For example, projections show that online sports advertising revenue will double in the five-year period ending in 2012. That&rsquo;s because Americans increasingly are consuming sports news. According to the Nielsen Company, more than 78 million Americans visited sports Web sites last year, a 5 percent increase. Workplace traffic was up 26 percent last year and ESPN.com alone saw a 12 percent rise in unique visitors.<br><br>Hoppes described how <a href="http://espn.com" title="ESPN.com" tabindex="2" target="_new">ESPN.com</a> generated that rise. The Web site has constantly evolved, he said, bringing more blogs, opinions and commentators in various niche areas of the site to satiate demand. And it has branched out into mobile newscasts and social networking to ensure that its fans can get their daily doses of ESNP.com anywhere.<br><br>&ldquo;We try to see if the public likes these, if the advertisers like them,&rdquo; he said. Being quick to analyze the success of new additions is important, he explained, in satisfying these two constituencies.<br><br>While ESPN.com constantly has its eye on tweaking its offerings, the two-year-old <a href="http://bigtennetwork.com" title="Big Ten Network" tabindex="2" target="_new">Big Ten Network</a> is continuing to evolve after its impressive introduction. When launched, its programming was in 30 million homes in 30 days.<br><br>&ldquo;We took a branded entity &ndash; the Big Ten &ndash; and we try to produce quality programming,&rdquo; Silverman said. After its initial success, the network now is looking at expanding with 24/7 broadcasts of classic games, university-generated video, commentaries and behind-the-scenes shows. But the focus stays on Big Ten sports.<br><br>&ldquo;It used to be you wanted to be as broad as possible&rdquo; to appeal to a wide audience, Silverman said, but now sports media is turning to niches, cultivating both an audience and advertisers. Many sports blogs, including those not affiliated with networks or other organizations, focus on one sport or even one narrow area of sport. The top 10 independent blogs generated nearly $35 million in advertising last year, Franklin found.<br><br>&ldquo;What does all this new growth mean?&rdquo; Franklin asked. &ldquo;It means there are going to be new opportunities for professionals.&rdquo;<br><br><table align="right" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="169">	<tbody>		<tr>			<td><img alt="Mark Silverman"  src="http://journalism.indiana.edu/wp-content/uploads/wpMain_/image/news-stories-fall-09/silverman-web.jpg" width="169"></td>		</tr>		<tr>			<td><span class="photoCredit">Photo by Gena Asher</span></td>		</tr>		<tr>			<td><span class="photoCaption">Mark Silverman of the Big Ten Network talked about cultivating an audience. &ldquo;It used to be you wanted to be as broad as possible,&rdquo; he said, but now a narrow focus wins audiences.</span></td>		</tr>	</tbody></table>Forde addressed just what moving into the new arena of sports news has meant for him. A print columnist at the (Louisville, Ky.) Courier-Journal, Forde watched newspapers&#39; turmoil in the mid-1990s. Seeing the writing on the wall, he said he was eager to take on a once a week gig writing about the Southeastern Conference for ESPN&rsquo;s Sports Zone.<br><br>&ldquo;After that, they kept asking, and I kept saying &lsquo;yes,&rsquo;&rdquo; he said. But as he took on more duties with the network, the medium changed. Soon, he was in front of cameras instead of behind a keyboard. &ldquo;When I started this career, I was sure all I needed to know was how to type. Now, I&rsquo;m saying &lsquo;yes&rsquo; to projects and then wondering how do I do TV?&rdquo;<br><br>So far, he&rsquo;s comfortable on TV, is working on podcasts, is &ldquo;big on Twitter,&rdquo; writes blogs and, of course, still is writing other long form material. His message to young journalists or those looking to capitalize on sports media&rsquo;s robust health is have diverse skills.<br><br>&ldquo;No one is this or that kind of journalist anymore,&rdquo; Forde said. &ldquo;The more stuff you can do, the better.&rdquo;<br><br>The SPJ conference was Aug. 27-30 and marked the 100th anniversary of the organization. The sports media workshop was one of more than 50 offered to attendees representing media organizations from around the country. SPJ is headquartered in Indianapolis.<br><br>The National Sports Journalism Center launched in January with Franklin, formerly of the Baltimore Sun, as director. He also is the Louis A. Weil Jr. Endowed Chair at the school.<br><img alt="" class="newsImage" height="57" src="http://journalism.indiana.edu/wp-content/uploads/wpMain_/image/news-stories-fall-09/franklin-thumb.jpg" width="54"><br><br>]]></content:encoded>

Each panelist took a crack and supplying answers for the dozens of new students in the Ernie Pyle auditorium.<br><br>For Spegele, a concentration in international studies and Chinese has shaped his academic and travel experience at IU and he highly recommended that incoming journalism students consider a similar path.<br><br>&ldquo;I sort of arbitrarily chose them, but it turned into an obsession over time,&rdquo; said Spegele, who spent a semester abroad in China. &ldquo;Learn another language while you&rsquo;re at IU. Learn one, then go abroad for a semester. It will open up a thousand different doors for you if you can come out of here speaking another language.&rdquo;<br><br>In terms of general classroom success advice, Greene kept it simple.<br><br>&ldquo;Go to class,&rdquo; she said simply, eliciting a laugh from the crowd. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s the best advice I could give you.&rdquo;<br><br>For Krusing, a certain amount of flexibility has been essential to her success in the School of Journalism.<br><br>&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t be afraid to take risks,&rdquo; she said, telling the story of her own experience at a very free-form internship in Washington, D.C., earlier in the summer.  But she assured her audience that the school is a safe environment, perfect for experimenting. &ldquo;If you&rsquo;ve never used a video camera, pick it up. Don&rsquo;t be afraid if it&rsquo;s something new or intimidating. There&rsquo;s tons of support here.&rdquo;<br><br>Both Spegele and Kramer talked about the importance of initiative when it comes to internship opportunities. While visiting his brother in New York for a summer, Spegele called up a Conde Nast magazine that interested him, got an interview scheduled over the phone and was hired on the spot. <br><br>Kramer also sought an internship last summer that didn&rsquo;t pan out exactly as planned, but did give her the opportunity to travel with musical group Paramore last summer. That experience helped her create connections that eventually led to her Live Nation internship this summer.<br><br><table width="200" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="left">    <tbody>        <tr>            <td><img  width="280" alt="Ashlee Green" src="http://journalism.indiana.edu/wp-content/uploads/wpMain_/image/news-stories-fall-09/orientation-green-web.jpg"></td>        </tr>        <tr>            <td><span class="photoCredit">Photo by James Brosher</span></td>        </tr>        <tr>            <td><span class="photoCaption">New journalism students gathered Thursday to hear advice from juniors and seniors.

The book&rsquo;s co-author is the late professor Randy Pausch, whose last talk to Carnegie Mellon students about celebrating life and living grabbed public attention. <br><br>For his Wall Street Journal column, &quot;Moving On,&quot; Zaslow focuses on life&#8217;s transitions, and when he heard about Pausch, who had terminal cancer, he decided to attend the lecture as a possible column topic. Zaslow&#8217;s resulting column and the video of the talk that circulated on the Internet propelled Pausch to international attention, and soon he and Zaslow were compiling the story into book form. Today, <em>The Last Lecture</em> has been translated into 44 languages and has spent weeks as No. 1 on The New York Times best-seller lists. <br><br>In addition to his continued reporting for the Journal, Zaslow is at work on a book about yet another American whose philosophy on staying focused in times of trouble captivated readers&#8217; attention.

Chesley &quot;Sully&quot; Sullenberger, who safely landed his jet in the Hudson River, are co-authoring <em>Highest Duty</em>, set for release this fall. <br><br><h3>Vivian Schiller</h3><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="right" width="147">    <tbody>        <tr>            <td><img  width="147" alt="Vivian Schiller" src="http://journalism.indiana.edu/wp-content/uploads/wpMain_/image/news-stories-fall-09/schiller-web.jpg"></td>        </tr>        <tr>            <td><span class="photoCredit">Courtesy photo</span></td>        </tr>        <tr>            <td><span class="photoCaption">National Public Radio CEO&nbsp;Vivian Schiller will speak Oct. 19.</span></td>        </tr>    </tbody></table>Schiller, who visits Oct. 19, made the switch from print to broadcast earlier this year when she moved from the senior vice president and general manager of The New York Times to National Public Radio, where she is CEO. In this position, she oversees all NPR operations, including the organization&#8217;s partnerships with more than 800 member stations.  She just led NPR&rsquo;s redesign of its <a href="http://npr.org" title="Web site" tabindex="2" target="_new">Web site</a>. <br><br>While she&#8217;s new to radio, Schiller does have broadcast and multimedia experience. She spent four years as general manager of the Discovery Times channel, a joint venture of The New York Times and Discovery Communications. Under her leadership, Discovery Times Channel tripled its distribution while achieving critical acclaim for its award-winning journalistic programming. <br><br>Schiller also served as senior vice president at CNN Productions, where documentaries produced during her tenure won two Peabody Awards, two Alfred I. DuPont-Columbia University Awards and five Emmys.  At the Times, Schiller oversaw the day-to-day operations of <a href="http://nytimes.com" title="NYTimes.com" tabindex="2" target="_new">NYTimes.com</a>, the newspaper&#8217;s Web site. <br><br><h3>Joe Buck</h3><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="right" width="147">    <tbody>        <tr>            <td><img  width="147" alt="Joe Buck " src="http://journalism.indiana.edu/wp-content/uploads/wpMain_/image/news-stories-fall-09/buck-web.jpg"></td>        </tr>        <tr>            <td><span class="photoCredit">Courtesy photo</span></td>        </tr>        <tr>            <td><span class="photoCaption">Sportscaster Joe Buck wraps up the series Nov. 10.</span></td>        </tr>    </tbody></table>Joe Buck, a six-time Emmy Award-winner who handles lead play-by-play duties for Fox Sports&#8217; Emmy Award-winning coverage of Major League Baseball and the National Football League, appears Nov. 10. <br><br>His career path may inspire journalism students. His broadcasting career began in 1989, while he was a telecommunications undergraduate at IU. That year, he called play-by-play for the Louisville Redbirds of the American Association, a minor league affiliate of the Cardinals, and was a reporter for ESPN&#8217;s coverage of the Triple-A All-Star Game. <br><br>In 1994, he was the youngest announcer to call a full slate of NFL games on network television. Before that, he was a radio and television announcer for the St. Louis Cardinals from 1991 to 2007. <br><br>Buck is the son of the late broadcasting legend Jack Buck, whose career spanned parts of six decades. They are the only father and son to each call the Super Bowl on network television. <br><br><h3>About the series</h3>Since its inception in the fall of 2006, the Speaker Series has brought to campus highly regarded journalists and authors, including Steve  Kroft, Anna Quindlen, Nina Totenberg, Elizabeth Gilbert, Lisa Ling, Frank DeFord, David Halberstam and Christopher Hitchens. <br><br><div class="multimediaLinksContainer"><h4 class="multimediaLinksHeader">Related</h4><ul class="multimediaLinks"><li><a tabindex="2" href="http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB119024238402033039.html" title="Read Zaslow&#039;s column about Pausch." target="_new">Read Zaslow's column about Pausch.</a></li><li><a tabindex="2" href="http://journalism.indiana.edu/news/zaslow-recounts-last-lecture-columns-impact/" title="Read about Zaslow&#039;s previous visit to the School of Journalism.">Read about Zaslow's previous visit to the School of Journalism.</a></li><li><a tabindex="2" href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=99152497" title="Read more about Vivian Schiller&#039;s career." target="_new">Read more about Vivian Schiller's career.</a></li><li><a href="http://journalism.indiana.edu/news/weymouth-addresses-technology-change-post-legacy/" title="Weymouth addresses technology, innovation, Post&#039;s legacy" tabindex="2">Weymouth addresses technology, innovation, Post's legacy</a> <span class="grayed">(Feb. 29)</span></li><li><a href="http://journalism.indiana.edu/notices/weymouth-to-address-media-challengies-posts-strategies/" title="Weymouth to address media challenges, Post&#039;s strategies" tabindex="2">Weymouth to address media challenges, Post's strategies</a> <span class="grayed">(Feb. 18)</span></li><li><a href="http://journalism.indiana.edu/news/margolick-recounts-his-efforts-to-tell-two-womens-stories/" title="Margolick recounts his efforts to tell two women&#039;s stories" tabindex="2">Margolick recounts his efforts to tell two women's stories</a> <span class="grayed">(Feb. 21)</span></li></ul></div><br><img height="44" align="left" width="54" src="http://journalism.indiana.edu/wp-content/uploads/wpMain_/image/news-stories-fall-09/speaker-thumb.jpg" alt="speaker series" class="newsImage"><br><br><br>]]></content:encoded>

Hers was one of several research papers presented at the conference. Below is her report on the experience.</em><br><br>When I first entered the Boston Sheraton, the site for the 2009 Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC) convention, butterflies leapt through my stomach. <br><br>This was my first time attending the annual event and I was full of uncertainty. The graduate student experience at these sorts of prominent national events is somewhat nebulous. We aren&rsquo;t professors, which means we often don&rsquo;t have their connections or their prominence or their fancy conference garb. <br><br>But we aren&rsquo;t mere students either. In fact, many of us had been asked to come and share our research, suggesting that we are already making valuable contributions to the field. And yet, upon receiving our nametags, we were branded with the conspicuous yellow &ldquo;graduate student&rdquo; flag. In my mind I couldn&rsquo;t help but read the tag as &ldquo;not a professor.&rdquo;<br><br>As I settled into the conference I found myself questioning appropriateness at every turn. Was a cardigan dressy enough or was a suit jacket requisite? Was it okay to introduce yourself to a well-known scholar, even if his or her scholarly contributions elude you? Is it okay to enter into my usual chipper elevator banter with an AEJMC board member, or should I stick to conversations only about research interests? And lastly, if a high-ranking department administrator spots me in my pajamas early one morning at the hotel&rsquo;s Starbucks counter, do I receive a funding cut? Okay, probably not, but the mind of a slightly insecure graduate student is a strange place. <br><br>It might seem funny to hear, but for a graduate student who spends so much time buried in articles and books, sometimes I forget that these authors are real, living people who walk and talk and fill their cars with gas. But suddenly these authors, whose work I&rsquo;ve read and reread (sometimes due to obfuscation, sometimes out of interest) had suddenly leapt off of the PDFs and into the hotel lobby. And much to my relief, their interactions were not relegated to gain and loss theory, agenda setting, coding instruments or post-modernity. They laughed and joked with old friends, classmates and colleagues. <br><br>That&rsquo;s when it hit me. They may be brilliant scholars with many publications under their belts, but when it comes down to it, they&rsquo;re ordinary people just like me. They travel in baseball caps and read People magazine. They play cards in the lobby late into the night. They order a second glass of wine. They sneak away from the conference and enjoy sightseeing with their families.  They even attend Paul McCartney concerts at Fenway Park.  This shouldn&rsquo;t be such a surprise. After all, the faculty members in our own department are amazing bunch of researchers, but they&rsquo;re always happy to catch up with students on other important things: kids, work, sports, politics, etc. <br><br>As I leave the conference and gear up for another academic year, I will remember this convention and the insights it provided. When I prepare to send my first paper out for publication, I will not think of the editor as the stuffy old man in the dark suit, surrounded by shelves of awards, honors and self-authored books. Instead, I will visualize him as that guy in the back of the tourist trolley, the one with the Hawaiian shirt who enjoyed a sunny day in Boston with his wife and children. And if that rejection letter comes, which it very well might, I might just write back on more time and say, &ldquo;Did I mention that I&rsquo;m a huge McCartney fan?&rdquo;<br><br><div class="multimediaLinksContainer"><h4 class="multimediaLinksHeader">Related</h4><ul class="multimediaLinks"><li><a tabindex="2" href="http://journalism.indiana.edu/news/faculty-students-to-attend-aejmc-convention/" title="Read about the convention.">Read about the convention.</a></li><li><a href="http://journalism.indiana.edu/recent-news/routledge-publishes-the-global-journalist/" title="Routledge publishes The Global Journalist " tabindex="2">Routledge publishes <i>The Global Journalist</i> </a> <span class="grayed">(May 13)</span></li><li><a href="http://journalism.indiana.edu/graduate-program/school-research-group-launches-survey/" title="School research group launches survey" tabindex="2">School research group launches survey</a> <span class="grayed">(May 10)</span></li><li><a href="http://journalism.indiana.edu/recent-news/faculty-student-work-set-for-aejmc-presentation/" title="Faculty, student work set for AEJMC presentation" tabindex="2">Faculty, student work set for AEJMC presentation</a> <span class="grayed">(May 10)</span></li></ul></div><br><br><img width="54" height="58" align="left" class="newsImage" src="http://journalism.indiana.edu/wp-content/uploads/wpMain_/image/news-stories-fall-09/birthisel-thumb.jpg" alt="Birthisel"><br><br>]]></content:encoded>
