The USC Annenberg School's Joe Saltzman shares his work in this new and neglected field of study.
"The Image of the Gay Journalist in Popular Culture: A Brand New Field of Research for Students and Faculty Alike."
Join students and faculty for a presentation by Joe Saltzman, journalism professor at the USC Annenberg School and director of the Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture (IJPC), a project of the Norman Lear Center.
There has been virtually no research done on the image of the gay journalist or public relations practitioner in popular culture. Saltzman will discuss the potential for research in this field, and share his research on the image of the gay journalist in movies and television, fiction, comic books and other aspects of popular culture. He will also show a 14-minute excerpt from the groundbreaking three-disc set The Image of the Gay Journalist in Movies and Television, 1929 to 2009.
Free copies of the three-disc set and the 2009 IJPC Database will be available.
Lunch will be served.
