Position Description
San Francisco State University’s Journalism Department offers an exciting opportunity for a tenure-track assistant professor with expertise in multimedia journalism across digital platforms starting in August 2019. We seek a colleague whose teaching and research interests include digital/online journalism, data journalism, beginning and advanced video and audio storytelling. We are especially interested in qualified candidates who can contribute through their research or creative works, teaching, and/or service, and through diversity, to the excellence of the academic community.
We are pleased to announce that Viscom 33 will be held June 19-22 at Mammoth Village Lodge on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada range. We are announcing the conference early because we think attendees might want to plan their vacations around the conference. We chose Mammoth, which is less than an hour from the east entrance to Yosemite National Park, because of its affordable accommodations ($136/night for a single, $101/night per person for two sharing a 1-bedroom condo with sofa bed), and $80/night per person for three sharing a 2-bedroom condo with sofa bed.) The condos, which are privately owned and leased back for the summer, are gorgeous!

This is off to the printers so…see you next week!
Hi all,
I think I got all the requested changes! So, you have 48 hours until this is written in stone. At that point, Louis can print to his heart’s content!
Please let me know if there are any changes. Can’t wait to see you all! This looks like a great program!

Hi All,
Sorry it’s taken so long to get this posted. Sabbatical travel is an awesome if inconvenient thing! Attached is a more final version of the program. I’m pretty sure I got all of the changes requested. Please read carefully and let me know ASAP if there are other changes. Please check to see if you are listed as a chair…if you don’t want to do it, let me know and I can slot someone else in! Thanks for your patience.
This is the preliminary program. If you have co-authors/presenters please let me know (I know there is one, but I think I accidentally deleted the email!). Check your affiliations and titles. I think I have everyone, if not let me know. Also, if you’d like to be a chair, let me know. You can contact me at tgoodnow@oregonstate.edu. Whew!

So, I clearly went off track with the summer. It’s a long story and will have to wait until we see each other face-to-face. Short summary: Act 1: went to Ireland, caught a cold from students, turned into major chest infection, kept me off the airplane to Seattle for VisCom… and basically meant I stayed in Ireland until late August. While that had its upside (the most relaxing extended vacation I have had since 2005), it meant not being where I could send anyone a book to review as those were all in the USA. Act 2: Returned to US and immersed in beginning of semester… which brings us to NOW.
