Ever since the first telethon in 1949, telethons and radiothons have
been something of a staple in society. From yearly planned telethons to
reactions to major catastrophes around the world, telethons spring up
regularly. This history of charity media has bled into new media in various
ways, from Games Done Quick events to streamer charity streams to Facebook
charity requests for birthdays, there are numerous forms charitable endeavors
are being carried out via the internet. This week In Media Res is seeking
submissions on matters dealing with telethons and how they’ve changed for the
modern media landscape.
Topics may include:
- Internet Charity Events
- Modern Telethon Events
- Charity Streaming
- Fan Charity Fundraising & Events
- Social Media Birthday Fundraisers
Proposals may be brief, but do be
sure to describe the topic and key question(s) to be explored. Please submit
your proposal by August 5, 2019. If interested, please contact In Media Res
(inmediares@gsu.edu) with topic proposals or for more information about the
theme. Be sure to include the name of the theme week you would like to be
involved with in the subject line of the email.
Academics, journalists, critics, media professionals and fans are all
welcome to submit proposals.
The actual piece will include
either a 30-second to 3-minute clip, an image, or a slideshow that will be
accompanied by a 300 to 350-word response to/contextualization of your clip,
image, or slideshow. In addition to your piece, you will be expected to engage
the other pieces presented that week to encourage discussion and further flesh
out the individual topic in relation to the week’s theme.
