Campus Voices: Climate Change - Lance Vie with guests Clinton Rowe and Ross Dixon

A discussion of media ethics and how to determine the validity of what news consumers read, watch and listen to. The program featured Jody Beck, an alum of the UNL College of Journalism & Mass Communications, and now a Community Education Volunteer with the Freedom Forum in Washington, D.C., who was on the UNL campus to speak to students in the College of Journalism & Mass Communications, and Jessi McCarthy, the Freedom Forum’s Outreach Educator, who joined the discussion from their Washington office.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, UNL’s student news outlet, The Daily Nebraskan, created a COVID-19 coverage team to bring more transparency to the coronavirus situation on campus and in Nebraska. KRNU's Geoff Exstrom visited with one of the co-editors for that team - David Berman - about their coverage and the response to it.

On the weekend of KRNU's 50th anniversary in February of 2020, former UNL Broadcasting Department Chairman, Larry Walklin, visited Campus Voices to discuss the station's creation and history. Walklin was in charge of the Broadcasting major at the time the station signed on in 1970 and was instrumental in its creation. He served as the station's first general manager from 1970 until 1995.

USC's Election Cybersecurity Initiative established a lofty goal for 2020: to provide online training on election security in all 50 states for election workers, state officials, media representatives and the general public. Faculty members from UNL's College of Law and College of Journalism & Mass Communications joined the online panel for Nebraska's training session on June 18th. The Initiative's director, Adam Clayton Powell III, is featured in this episode of "Campus Voices" to discuss the genesis of the project and some of the issues they cover.

Faced with unexpected restrictions due to COVID-19, the Vision Maker Media organization decided to move its Film Fest online, which actually afforded opportunities for a wider audience and participation from more filmmakers than would have been possible in-person.
