United States of America (Press Release) September 15, 2007 --
Daniel Henrich, mediastrategy consultant and writer of media related blogs, http://pacrimmedia.wordpress.com, Http://mediastrategy.org and http://ie-21stcentury.com has moved to Nassau, The Bahamas to teach in the journalism and communication department at the College of the Bahamas.
Henrich taught in the Communication Studies area of Liberty University from 1998-2007 where he was involved in the updating of the broadcasting curriculum in 2000. He also worked together with other faculty to propose updating of the advertising and public relations curriculum that was rejected by the administration.
“It is essential that high education keep pace with technology changes and use,” Henrich commented, “and even attempt to project what skills a freshman will need when she graduates. This is the hard part. No one in 2004 would have projected the decline in newspaper circulation, nor the rise of broadband connections around the world!”
Henrich is now involved in the updating of the College of the Bahamas curriculum to reflect modern trends in media use. “As a department, we are concerned that our students (mostly Bahamian) will have the skills to work in the media and are committed to this concept of interactive communication – looking at places of intersection in skill sets so our students can be effective communicators in the Bahamas and internationally,” Henrich said. In 2008, we will offer a BA in this area.
Henrich also announced “The Conference on Interactive Communication” slated for late March 2008 in Nassau. “ Our rational is that traditional journalism has changed in the world,” he commented. “The era of the newspaper reporter writing only for the daily newspaper and broadcast news announcer researching and writing for the local TV or radio station is over with the advent of the internet. Now, added to changing media habits of the youth, the skillset needed for the future journalist has changed in the world and will have impact on Bahamian media.” The conference topic areas for invited papers/workshops include: Interactivity and Journalism, Research in the Interactive World, The Social Aspects of Interactivity
Interactivity and Production/writing skillsets needed for the future journalists and Interactivity in the Bahamian Context.
