Live event programming has been a staple of television programming since
the beginning of television production. Whether it be a musical show, athletic
event, or award ceremony, live event programming promises unplanned and
spur-of-the-moment occurrences. In our current social-media age, does live
event programming lose its spontaneous edge (because everything is constantly
being filmed live)? Do we hold onto live event programming mainly as a
tradition or do we truly relish these live events? In Media Res seeks
submissions that engage with this topic and approach this subject from a
variety of lenses including, but not limited to:
Topics may include:
- Rising and falling popularity of live TV events (ex. Academy Awards, Super Bowl)
- The historical tradition of live event programming
- New technologies of live media (through new media platforms/services
- Matters of race/gender politics (who is not being recognized/shown)
Proposals may be brief, but do be sure to describe the topic and key
question(s) to be explored (as well as your name, affiliation, and Twitter
handle if applicable). Please submit
your proposal by September 9, 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.

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.
