*CSM: In Good Company*

The School of Communications and Center for Social Media were recently the
subjects of Mark Glaser's *Mediashift*

The post explored how American University's School of Communications is
evolving into an epicenter for the education of new journalists and media
makers. Glaser's piece includes video interviews with the Center's director,
Pat Aufderheide, as well as SOC Dean Larry Kirkman, Jan Schaffer from J-Lab,
Charles Lewis from the Investigative Reporting Workshop and Amy Eisman, the
head of writing classes at SOC. Read the article

*Stranger than Fiction: Beyond Broadcast, Iran's elections and international
public media 2.0 *

[image: ballad]At the 2009 Beyond Broadcast conference, hosted by USC
Annenberg's School of Communications in early June, attendees from more than
a dozen countries worked together to build scenarios predicting the
evolution of public service media in regions buffeted by social, political
and economic transitions. A week later the future long predicted by Beyond
Broadcast organizers arrived earlier than planned, as social media tools
became the main source of news on Iran's contested elections. Read more

[image: moz]At the SILVERDOCS conference the AFI Digital Content Lab
Showcase panel hosted a wide array of innovative ideas. Most noteworthy were
the journalistic pursuits of Kit Carson. Kit shared his work on one of his
most recent projects, *Moz Diaries*. In collaboration with filmmaker Tim
Johnson, Kit traveled down to Mozambique to document the state of transition
of the country since its recent "miraculous" success in the global economic
sphere. His choice of record? A cell phone camera. Read more

  COPYRIGHT AND FAIR USE
       *Getting Legal at SILVERDOCS*

[image: ballad]Peter Jaszi and Pat Aufderheide had fun presenting on the
panel, "The Legal 411 on Film and Media in the Classroom." The SILVERDOCS
conference now has a thriving strand of panels directed at teachers who use
audio-visual material in the classroom and who work with kids who make
video. One of the teachers' biggest headaches is understanding their rights
under copyright. Can students upload their videos to YouTube? Are they
permitted to clip out material from commercial (and encrypted) DVDs? Can
teachers post clips onto their electronic teaching platforms? Aufderheide
and Jaszi were able to help them clarify. Read more

*Who's Plagiarizing Now?*

Copyright protectionists decry copying as theft and plagiarism-and let's
just acknowledge here that sometimes it is. The well-funded efforts of
copyright owners' organizations to promote this message, though, has
thoroughly confused many people about their fair use rights. So there's a
certain pleasure-what the Germans call schadenfreude -in discovering that a
major Canadian research organization plagiarized an American lobbying
group's report. Read more

* Larry Engel participated on a panel discussing green filmmaking with
co-directors of *No Impact Man*, Laura Gabbert and Justin Schein. The panel
was led by Amy King, a longtime Silverdocs associate. It started with a clip
from *No Impact Man*, a great film about Colin Beavan and his wife, Michele.
The film traces the family's year-long effort to create no carbon, or at
least keep it to a bare minimum. Read more here about Larry's experience on

Puerto Rican-American rapper Hamza Pérez pulled himself out of drug
dealing and street life 12 years ago and became a Muslim. Now he's moved to
Pittsburgh's tough North Side to start a new religious community, rebuild
his shattered family and take his message of faith to other young people
through hard-hitting hip-hop music. But when the FBI raids his mosque, Hamza
must confront the realities of the post-9/11 world, and himself. Produced in
association with Latino Public Broadcasting (LPB) and the Center for Asian
American Media (CAAM).

troop greeters --a group of senior citizens who gather daily at a small
airport to thank American soldiers departing and returning from Iraq. The
film quickly turns into a moving, unsettling and compassionate story about
