media historian who loves dancing/hiking/journalism -- also still (for now) @willthewordguy on Twitter and Tumblr. A bit more about me: I'm an assistant professor at the Manship School of Mass Communication at LSU, where I study and teach media history (and media law). My (current) main research area(s) of interest involve news work and the history of communication technology and how (painful and unpredictable!) large-scale transitions tend to be -- in my case, from analog to digital.
Got a quick catch-up visit into one of my favorite places to do media history research— @mediarchaeology ! And I got to nerd out over acoustic couplers and other analog tech w/ Dr. libi striegl! @mediaarchaeologylab
Women news workers use teletypesetters in the late 1950s — #research #mediahistory
from 'Byte' from Jan. 1993 -- "luggables" do not look like fun (and the laptops are no joke either!) -- check it out, @juliettedm ! found this as part of research with Fanny Ramirez on gender in early internet advertising ...
So crazy proud of Dr. Ruth Moon Mari and her new OUP book AND for going her first book talk at her book launch at Manship School at LSU: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/authoritarian-journalism-9780197623428?cc=us&lang=en&
Despite the dinner chaos, sous vide is still a great way to make burgers 🍔 during the week for the fam (potatoes and roasted corn on the side!)
Early tea time — means *starting to* catch up on work emails, as a way to ease back into work — I’m hoping to save the bulk of prep/writing for next week, however, and do odds/ends/some reading this week to wake my brain up as we wrap up holiday family stuff #balance
