Kirkwood, and is free and open to the public.<br><br>Buck is a six-time Emmy Award-winner who handles lead play-by-play duties for Fox Sports&rsquo; coverage of Major League Baseball and the National Football League. <br><br>&ldquo;Especially with the recent opening of the National Sports Journalism Center, it was a good time to highlight sports journalism in the Speaker Series,&rdquo; said School of Journalism Communications Director Beth Moellers, adding that Buck&rsquo;s appearance is especially timely coming off the World Series. &ldquo;This adds a new angle for our students.&rdquo;<br><br>Buck&#8217;s 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&rsquo;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, who serves as a board member for the NSJC, 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>&ldquo;I think his visit is going to be, in a lot of ways, a very personal conversation on his reflecting back on his IU days,&rdquo; said Tim Franklin, director of IU&rsquo;s National Sports Journalism Center at IUPUI, in a phone interview. &ldquo;But also, what it&rsquo;s been like, growing up with a broadcast legend and icon father, and growing into an icon himself.&rdquo;  <br><br>Franklin, who will conduct an onstage Q&amp;A with Buck during the event, anticipates that Buck&rsquo;s insights are not just limited to a sports crowd, but will hit home with a wide range of students and audiences.<br><br>&ldquo;Joe is not just considered one of the premiere sports casters in the country,&rdquo; said Franklin,&rdquo; he&rsquo;s also widely respected as one of the top broadcasters period.&rdquo;<br><br>Prior to his talk, which will be taped to air on the Big Ten Network, Buck will appear at Nick&rsquo;s at 5:30 p.m. to support a fundraiser for the Bloomington Press Club&rsquo;s scholarship fund. Tax-deductible tickets are $50, available by contact member Sherry Rouse by e-mail or phone at (812) 855-1024.<br><br>]]></content:encoded>

She hoped the symposium would begin a conversation on how race relations have &#8212; or haven&rsquo;t &#8212; changed since Obama&rsquo;s election.<br><br>&ldquo;Is color seen as much anymore?&rdquo; Neely said. &ldquo;Does race still matter? Or do we see people as individuals?&rdquo; <br><br>Neely chose the symposium&rsquo;s panel: Bloomington Safe and Civil City Director Beverly Calendar-Anderson, associate professor of history and Latino studies John Nieto-Philips, IU Director for Student Programs and Services Bill Shipton, assistant professor of history Khalil Muhammad, and sociology Ph.D. student Rashawn Ray. <br><br>Neely said each brought a different perspective to the issue of race and diversity. Muhammad appeared in the documentary, and Shipton, who said he represented the &ldquo;white guy&rdquo; on the panel, works with diversity programs on the IU campus. <br><br>&ldquo;I wanted to make sure not to seclude the program to IU,&rdquo; Neely said. &ldquo;I wanted to invite the whole community.&rdquo; <br><br>The symposium began with a viewing of <em>Witnesses to History</em>, and afterward, panelists fielded questions ranging from what a black president means for society to whether affirmative action should remain at higher education institutions. <br><br>Shipton said that he rejoiced when Obama was elected, but said what is important is what happens from here on.<br><br>&ldquo;Do we re-energize the issues of racism or do we hit the snooze button?&rdquo; he asked.<br><br><table width="200" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="right">    <tbody>        <tr>            <td><img  width="300" src="http://journalism.indiana.edu/wp-content/uploads/wpMain_/image/news-stories-fall-09/race-obama-panel-web.jpg" alt="race in the age of obama panel"></td>        </tr>        <tr>            <td><span class="photoCredit">Photo by James Brosher</span></td>        </tr>        <tr>            <td><span class="photoCaption">Panelists fielded questions as well as posed them to the audience at Wednesday night&#8217;s discussion. </span></td>        </tr>    </tbody></table>Calendar-Anderson agreed with Shipton, saying that racism did not end Nov. 5. Instead, Obama&rsquo;s election meant hope. This hope is the light at the end of the tunnel leading to a place many dream of being, she said. <br><br>Nieto-Philips agreed, adding that Obama&rsquo;s election was the beginning of a conversation rather than the end of a conversation about race. <br><br>The panelists turned the tables by asking the audience questions, with audience members holding up green cards for &ldquo;yes&rdquo; or red cards for &ldquo;no.&rdquo; The panelists asked if racism still exists in the country and if people still see race. The participants answered &ldquo;yes.&rdquo;<br><br>Neely said she hopes attendees left with a recognition that diversity is important, but she also wants people to realize the importance of discussing issues of race and diversity, even if they don&rsquo;t want to talk about it. <br><br>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s important to see people as individuals and not color,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;I hope there is a true effectiveness of this event.&rdquo; <br><br>Sophomore Rayhona Abdullaeva said while she watched the <em>Witnesses to History</em> documentary, she wanted to cry. She saw all the people in the documentary who were rejoicing in Obama&rsquo;s election, and even though she is not black, Abdullaeva said she felt the emotion and importance of such a historic election.<br><br>Abdullaeva said she left the symposium with the understanding that race still exists, and even though everybody knows it, it is important to move forward in making a change to eliminate these issues of race.<br><br><table width="200" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="left">    <tbody>        <tr>            <td><img  width="250" src="http://journalism.indiana.edu/wp-content/uploads/wpMain_/image/news-stories-fall-09/muhammad-web.jpg" alt="kahil muhammad"></td>        </tr>        <tr>            <td><span class="photoCredit">Photo by James Brosher</span></td>        </tr>        <tr>            <td><span class="photoCaption">Panelist Khalil Muhammad, an assistant professor of history at IU, responded to several questions during the symposium.

Her job as a WTIU producer keeps her busy, along with her graduate work. She is working on a piece about Vigo County&rsquo;s first female African American prison warden by&nbsp; tracing the woman&rsquo;s steps.<br><br>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m very excited,&rdquo; Neely said. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s been an eye-opening experience.&rdquo;<br><br>If Neely is certain of one thing, it is that she will continue to be a journalist and report on the issues that matter to her, such as diversity and race.<br><br>&ldquo;I want to impact the lives of others,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;People turn on the TV to watch the news, so it&rsquo;s important to make sure what goes on in the community is told.&rdquo; <br><br>Neely said she loves journalism because it allows her to tell other people&rsquo;s stories. And she knows this isn&rsquo;t the end of her mission to unveil important ongoing issues.<br><br>&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think this is the last you will see or hear of what I&rsquo;m doing,&rdquo; Neely said with a smile. <br><br><img height="58" width="54" src="http://journalism.indiana.edu/wp-content/uploads/wpMain_/image/news-stories-fall-09/shameka-thumb.jpg" class="newsImage" alt=""><br><br><br><br><br>]]></content:encoded>

The end result of his work culminated in his documentary, <em>Trash to Treasure</em>, which he directed, produced and wrote, and showed to an audience at the Ernie Pyle Hall auditorium Tuesday night. <br><br>Patishnock said he wanted to show his film to the public in hopes of inspiring others and perhaps generating enough interest for a similar project to start at IU. <br><br>Trash to Treasure started at Penn State University in 2002. At the end of each school year, students donate items they no longer need, such as carpets, fans, clothing items, electronics, books and furniture. These donated items are then sorted and sold at the Trash to Treasure sale at Penn State&rsquo;s Beaver Stadium. <br><br>Thousands come each year for the one-day sale in hopes of finding treasures from all the unwanted items students leave behind, Patishnock said. The items are sold at a reasonable cost, affordable for all families and members of the community. The sale has raised more than $370,000 for Pennsylvania&rsquo;s Centre County United Way and saved over 550 tons of goods from being shipped to a landfill.<br><br>A 2005 journalism graduate of Penn State University, Patishnock was working at the university when administrators at the school approached him about making a film about the fundraiser. Before they could finish asking, Patishnock said he was so excited about the project that he jumped out of his chair and said yes. To get the whole process on film, he began working weeks before the date for Trash to Treasure, which usually is in late May after students have moved out and volunteers have sorted thousands of items. <br><br><table width="200" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="right">    <tbody>        <tr>            <td><img  width="285" alt="trash to treasure checkout" src="http://journalism.indiana.edu/wp-content/uploads/wpMain_/image/news-stories-fall-09/trash-checkout-web.jpg"></td>        </tr>        <tr>            <td><span class="photoCredit">Courtesy still from </span><em><span class="photoCredit">Trash to Treasure</span></em></td>        </tr>        <tr>            <td><span class="photoCaption">During the Trash to Treasure event, people who bought items helped raise more than $60,000 for the local United Way. The event relies on hundreds of volunteers.</span></td>        </tr>    </tbody></table>Tuesday, Patishnock said he was most eager to show his film to an audience that is not involved or familiar with Trash to Treasure.<br><br>&ldquo;I hope people leave thinking, &lsquo;If Penn State has it, why can&rsquo;t we?&rsquo;&rdquo; Patishnock said. &ldquo;I want to get the film out there.&rdquo; Already, the film has been submitted to a number of film festivals, including the Sundance Film Festival. <br><br>Patishnock&rsquo;s film showed every aspect of the Trash to Treasure process: the long lines of people waiting outside of Beaver Stadium on the day of the sale, the rows and rows of donated items. It showed the benefits: all of the donations this year helped hundreds of people throughout the community, raising more than $60,000 for the local United Way. <br><br>The film explores what would happen if not for the fundraiser. All of the 63.4 tons of donated items would have been thrown away and deposited into a landfill. Instead, all the donated items were sold to the community at low cost, benefiting the people who need to get rid of their items and the people who are in search of new belongings. <br><br>Patishnock said he is connecting with an IU campus group that is working to decrease the waste acquired during off-campus moves. He said he has spoken with people at Sustainable IU and he is continuing to meet with others with similar projects.<br><br>&ldquo;The one thing I hope people take away is how easy it is to reuse, reduce and recycle,&rdquo; Patishnock said. &ldquo;Anyone can do it.&rdquo;<br><br>When he moved to Bloomington this past August to begin graduate school, Patishnock brought the film with him. He said he chose IU for graduate school because he found himself fitting in with the journalism masters program. <br><br>&ldquo;I hesitate to use the word perfect,&rdquo; Patishnock said, &ldquo;but it was a really good situation.&rdquo;<br><br>A native of Pennsylvania, he wanted to experience something different. He said so far, he is happy with his experiences at IU and is glad that he was able to get out of his comfort zone.  <br><br>As Patishnock pursues his masters in journalism, he said that he wants to make an impact in the lives of others and get people interested in how to improve the environment.<br><br>&ldquo;Who won&rsquo;t be affected?&rdquo; Patishnock asked. He described this as the &ldquo;ripple effect,&rdquo; and said that even if someone doesn&rsquo;t care about the environment, it doesn&rsquo;t matter because the environment still affects that person. Patishnock said he wants to use his journalism training to inform people what is going on in the communities around them. <br><br>&ldquo;Connecting with people on a personal level is very, very satisfying,&rdquo; he said. <br><br>Freshman Samantha Kirby attended Tuesday&rsquo;s screening because she heard about it in one of her journalism classes and was interested in checking the film out.<br><br><table width="200" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="right">    <tbody>        <tr>            <td><img  width="250" alt="John Patishnock" src="http://journalism.indiana.edu/wp-content/uploads/wpMain_/image/news-stories-fall-09/John3-web.jpg"></td>        </tr>        <tr>            <td><span class="photoCredit">Photo by Shannon McEnerney</span></td>        </tr>        <tr>            <td><span class="photoCaption">Patishnock is eager to support an event similar to Trash to Treasure here at IU. &ldquo;Connecting with people on a personal level is very, very satisfying,&rdquo; he said. </span></td>        </tr>    </tbody></table>&ldquo;I like that Trash to Treasure started as a small project, one that wanted to do something good for the environment,&rdquo; she said. <br><br>As far as implementing a similar program at IU, Kirby said she thinks it could work. She said she has heard of other programs like Trash to Treasure at other colleges. <br><br>Patishnock said he only knows that Notre Dame, University of Miami at Ohio, the University of Michigan and the University of Pennsylvania have programs similar to Penn State&rsquo;s Trash to Treasure. But he&rsquo;s ready to jumpstart such a project here. <br><br>&ldquo;One of the reasons I came to IU is that I don&rsquo;t know anyone,&rdquo; Patishnock said. &ldquo;I want to see if I can go somewhere new and meet new people and grow and build from the ground up.

Current graduate students Erica Hunter, Tara Titcombe, Matt Troutman and Amy Purvis formed the panel.<br><br>While a master&rsquo;s degree is not necessary for many journalism jobs, Reynolds said an advanced degree often leads to better jobs and better pay. <br><br>&ldquo;It can give you a competitive edge,&rdquo; Reynolds said. &ldquo;You get the opportunity to explore areas further and develop your skills.&rdquo; <br><br>She described the master&rsquo;s degree program as one that focuses on flexibility and personalization. <br><br>&ldquo;We try to create independent, organized experiences for people and let them maximize their time,&rdquo; Reynolds said. &ldquo;We don&rsquo;t always have every class, but we will try to meet your goals.&rdquo;<br><br>Graduate students have a variety of travel opportunities, too. Current graduate students Tara Titcombe and Erica Hunter went to Washington, D.C., to visit Scripps-Howard. <br><br>The <a href="http://journalism.indiana.edu/graduate/course-information/all-courses/course-description/?course=87" title="J551 Reporting the Law " tabindex="2">J551 Reporting the Law </a>class reports on the Supreme Court and <a href="http://journalism.indiana.edu/graduate/course-information/all-courses/course-description/?course=93" title="J560 International Reporting" tabindex="2">J560 International Reporting</a> course includes travel stipends for students to report on their class beat.<br><br>While some panelists took time off in between their undergraduate and graduate studies, others pushed right through to complete their master&rsquo;s degrees in one year. Those who are accepted may opt to defer enrollment for up to two years. <br><br>&ldquo;Applying doesn&rsquo;t commit you,&rdquo; Reynolds said. &ldquo;It just gives you choice.&rdquo;<br><br>Here are some other pointers:<ul>    <li>Apply online at the Graduate Degree Application Web site (http://www.gradapp.indiana.edu/index.html). You&rsquo;ll need an undergraduate transcript (a GPA of 3.0 is suggested), three letters of recommendation and GRE scores.</li>    <li>Applications are judged as a whole. A lower GRE score or borderline GPA will not lead to an automatic rejection, Reynolds said. The school accepts 70 to 75 percent of its applicants.</li>    <li>Check the Bursar Web site for tuition fees. Generally, out-of-state tuition is three times higher than in-state and graduate students pay by the credit hour (plus student fees), not a flat rate like undergraduates.</li>    <li>Assistantships and fellowships are available, but not required. Students with assistantships are required to work 10 hours each week. Reynolds said she tries to find assistantships or fellowships for students to help offset tuition.</li></ul>]]></content:encoded>

According to a study published in last fall&rsquo;s Journalism &amp; Mass Communication Educator (JMCE), IU&rsquo;s graduate students have had more journalism research papers published than 14 other schools ranked in the study.<br><br>Arizona State University assistant professor Serena Carpenter led the research, which reviewed refereed research published in mass communication journals. &quot;A Study of Graduate Student Authorship in Journalism and Mass Communication Journals:&nbsp;1997-2006&quot; reports that IU graduate student authors&rsquo; work appeared 54 times, followed by University of Wisconsin-Madison with 52 and Michigan State University with 48.<br><br>Carpenter said she did not report the departments of each school&#8217;s authors.While some of the IU authors may be from programs outside the School of Journalism, the study reflects well on the school, said <a href="http://journalism.indiana.edu/about-us/faculty-staff/bio/?person=174" title="Amy Reynolds" tabindex="2">Amy Reynolds</a>, associate dean of graduate studies and research. <br><br>&ldquo;This study is really important for our school as journalism programs are not ranked,&rdquo; she said. Such studies can indicate how the IU program compares to other graduate journalism programs, at least in the specific area of research productivity. This may lead to prospective students forming opinions about the school, just as Martin did when he was looking at doctoral programs.<br><br>Reynolds added that the rankings included many well-regarded programs, which makes the honor even more remarkable. <br><br>Other faculty said they are pleased to see IU at the top of the stack.<br><br><table width="200" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="right">    <tbody>        <tr>            <td><img width="250"  src="http://journalism.indiana.edu/wp-content/uploads/wpMain_/image/news-stories-spring-09/jason-martin-web.jpg" alt="Jason Martin"></td>        </tr>        <tr>            <td><span class="photoCredit">Photo by Riya V.

His paper, &ldquo;Return to the Marketplace: Balancing Anonymous Online Speech and Defamation,&quot; has been accepted for publication in a future edition of the Journal of Media Law &amp; Ethics.  It looks at how courts have created a balancing standard to cases that involve anonymous online commentary and plaintiffs&rsquo; defamation rights.<br><br>The second-year doctoral student said that his research papers germinated in classrooms and proceeded with faculty help.<br><br>&ldquo;Most of the papers start in the class and then one works outside classroom,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;This is done by developing relationships with professors and taking initiative to have them read your papers.&rdquo;<br><br>As a student in <a href="http://journalism.indiana.edu/graduate/course-information/all-courses/course-description/?course=98" title="J572 Press and the Constitution" tabindex="2">J572 Press and the Constitution</a>, Martin worked closely with associate professor <a href="http://journalism.indiana.edu/about-us/faculty-staff/bio/?person=168" title="Anthony Fargo" tabindex="2">Anthony Fargo</a> and later completed an independent study on media law.<br><br>Fargo said he understands the importance of doctoral students writing research papers that are worthy of publication.<br><br>&ldquo;Students often have this fear factor of getting rejected. We professors must help them understand that rejection is part of the process,&rdquo; Fargo said. &ldquo;We teach them in a manner which prepares them for publication of their work.&quot;<br><br>The school also has sponsored workshops for students to give them pointers on presenting papers at conferences, which often is a first step toward preparing research for publication.<br><br><a href="http://journalism.indiana.edu/graduate/directory-of-graduate-students/bio/?person=148" title=" William Gillis" tabindex="2"> William Gillis</a>, a third-year doctoral student, is preparing a paper for a future edition of the journal Journalism History. His paper, &ldquo;Say No to Busing and the Liberal Media: Backlash against the Louisville Courier-Journal and Louisville Times, 1975-1976,&rdquo; examines the anti-media rhetoric and activism of Jefferson County, Ky., residents involved in a movement to overturn a court-ordered busing plan to achieve racial integration in local public schools.<br><br><table width="200" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="right">    <tbody>        <tr>            <td><img width="200"  src="http://journalism.indiana.edu/wp-content/uploads/wpMain_/image/news-stories-spring-09/gillis-web.jpg" alt="William Gillis"></td>        </tr>        <tr>            <td><span class="photoCredit">Photo by Riya V.

He encouraged me to send my paper to American Journalism Historians Association conference.&rdquo; His most recent paper was generated in Conway&rsquo;s <a href="http://journalism.indiana.edu/graduate/course-information/all-courses/course-description/?course=104" title="J653 The Media in the Twentieth Century " tabindex="2">J653 The Media in the Twentieth Century </a> class last spring.<br><br>Weaver said he tries to allow enough time in his graduate seminars for students to develop research papers that can be competitive in the judging for major conferences and journals. He urges them to build on previous studies, but also to make new contributions and to tackle problems and questions that are socially or journalistically significant.  <br><br>To Parameswaran, the most important thing is that the students work on an original research topic. Students choose an idea that they think is significant, that they are passionate about, and then they devote a lot of time to it.<br><br>Several graduate students who have done just that will present their work at the May conference of the International Communications Association, a first step for many on their way to seeing their work published.<br><br><div class="multimediaLinksContainer"><h4 class="multimediaLinksHeader">Related</h4><ul class="multimediaLinks"><li><a href="http://journalism.indiana.edu/notices/spj-awards-deadline-jan-27/" title="SPJ contest deadline Jan. 27" tabindex="2">SPJ contest deadline Jan. 27</a> <span class="grayed">(Nov. 16)</span></li><li><a href="http://journalism.indiana.edu/notices/hutchins-wins-second-place-in-keating-competition/" title="Hutchins wins second place in Keating competition" tabindex="2">Hutchins wins second place in Keating competition</a> <span class="grayed">(Nov. 15)</span></li><li><a href="http://journalism.indiana.edu/news/student-publications-win-more-than-50-awards/" title="Student publications win more than 50 awards" tabindex="2">Student publications win more than 50 awards</a> <span class="grayed">(Nov. 4)</span></li></ul></div><br><br>]]></content:encoded>

The trip was part of an independent study course on political coverage supervised by <a href="http://journalism.indiana.edu/about-us/faculty-staff/bio/?person=174" title="Amy Reynolds" tabindex="2">Amy Reynolds</a>, associate dean for research and graduate studies. <br><br>Titcombe and Hunter met with Peter Copeland, editor and general manager of Scripps Howard News Service, and shadowed some of the service&rsquo;s political reporters. The Scripps Howard staff also provided the students with tickets to a taping of National Public Radio&rsquo;s Talk of the Nation at the Newseum, a museum devoted to the history of the news. <br><br>During the show, veteran ABC journalist Ted Koppel interviewed South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Palestinian legislator Hanan Ashwari. <br><br>After their Newseum visit, the students had different agendas. Titcombe attended a conference at the Institute on Political Journalism on &ldquo;The Press, the Presidency and Politicians,&rdquo; where she heard speakers from Politico, Time magazine and Fox News. Hunter visited Washingtonian, an arts and lifestyle magazine.<br><br>They brought away different but equally strong impressions of their trip.<br><br>Hunter stumbled across the &ldquo;Tents of Hope&rdquo; campaign, an effort to bring support and humanitarian relief to refugees in Darfur, Sudan, on the National Mall. <br><br>&ldquo;I was overwhelmed to see people coming together for such a great cause,&rdquo; Hunter wrote of her experience. &ldquo;This could not have been timelier; as the United States looks to the future for change and renewed hope, we are also providing that same sense of change and hope to other countries.&rdquo;<br><br>Titcombe said the most valuable lessons she learned came from the professional journalists she met.<br><br>&ldquo;The trip increased my desire to become a political journalist,&rdquo; she wrote in a piece about the visit. &ldquo;As a quote showcased in the Newseum by H.L. Mencken stated, &lsquo;I know of no human being who has a better time than an eager and energetic young reporter.&rsquo;&rdquo; <br><br><em>Note:&nbsp;Anne Kibbler is editor of the School of Journalism alumni magazine, </em><a href="http://journalism.indiana.edu/alumni/news-events/" title="Newswire" tabindex="2">Newswire</a><em>.</em></div>]]></content:encoded>
