So happy to such a crowd for « My First Year as a Full-Time Faculty Member » at #aejmc24 with @PR_Johnson, @colorofresearch, @katiemontalbano, Omar Hammad and @AlyviaWalters. @aejmc
Listening to @WNYC hosts celebrating the station’s 100th birthday by talking about the work with the station by New Yorker Tony Schwartz, creator of the Lyndon Johnson “Daisy” ad. I interviewed Schwartz, who died in 2008, about the ad in the late 1990s for a master’s course.
Bad news, #IAMCR24 friends: I just tested positive for COVID. I attended the opening keynote (sat on back row) interacted with a few people at the reception. Vaccinated and boosted several times, most recently just before Xmas. Of course, I won’t be back to the conference.
Pleased to have made it to the Te Pae in Christchurch, New Zealand, for the opening session of #iamcr24 I’m (still) a little jet lagged and battling allergies, but I’m here!
Stuck on a stopped @NJTRANSIT train again, thanks to @amtrak track issues that are forcing single-tracking into NYC. Just another frustrating commute.
With @njtransit trains suspended, lines for buses to New Jersey wind through Port Authority well after 8 p.m.

Sometime tonight, I hope to get home. It’s now 4 hours, 20 mins since I walked out of the office. – at Iselin, NJ
These kids — @AnthonyFargo1 of @IUMediaSchool, me, and @BamaProducer of @uaccis — had a 25-year reunion at the @aejmc Southeast Colloquium at @uk_ci. It was last at @universityofky in 1999, when we were Ph.D. students at, respectively, @UFCJCGrad, @HussmanGrad & @ugagradygrad – at Kentucky, USA
Wonderful presentation at @aejmc SEC by @merrillcollege UG student Bridget Byrne and her professor @colorofresearch, a @RutgersCommInfo Ph.D. alum, on « The Weather Girls and WAVES: Comparing the US Press’s Early Depictions of Women in Meterology, 1942-1967. » Much promise here!
