The thoughtful process of preparing the audio and video for distribution and packaging on a web site was still somewhat new and I considered this to be a convergence of technologies through one medium...the Web<br /><br />Convergence denotes the approach toward a definite value or a common view. In mathematical equations the term convergence can refer to the limit of a series, and has plenty other meanings in physics, chemistry and environmental sciences. But that's not all.<br /><br />Convergence has been thrown around by large media and telecommunication companies for the past 18 months as some sort of new mantra that will save the people from frightening new technologies that lay ahead. It’s a good thing the large companies are looking out for us because surely, the average person couldn't know what awaits through the doors of new technology. Wait a minute! Are we to believe that these companies <st1:citation st="on">(the same ones that constructed the massive public screwing that happened as a result of the 1996 telecommunications act resulting in excessive cable TV charges, the same ones that urged President Reagan to allow for telecommunications deregulation in the eighties, resulting in media consolidation and loss of essential quality public programming)</st1:citation> are actually thinking about us? Let’s think about what convergence, or converged environments/networks, means in the world of information technology.<br /><br />In this case we are talking about companies that were once in different markets, now suddenly using the pipes and technology of the Internet <st1:citation st="on">(or the galactic interweb as I like to call it)</st1:citation> to supply their services. Phone companies created their networks in the early 20th century...large copper wires going from city to city and home to home. They were required by law <st1:citation st="on">(written in the twenties and thirties)</st1:citation> to provide a connection to every home that was physically possible. Television broadcast networks, under similar laws, were required to provide access to home's hands allow so many hours a week of public information programming.<span style=""> </span>The cable companies created their initially analog network in the seventies and eighties. They were also required by law to "build out" their networks to every home but they did this on a city by city basis through franchise agreements. They have not been held to the same programming standards that broadcast stations were.<span style=""> </span>Internet service providers built on telephone networks in the nineties, upgrading many large copper wires with fiber optic technology.<br /><br />Why do I mention these three completely different types of companies and their networks? They are all converging now. Telephone companies, cable companies and ISPs are in the process of creating high-speed networks to deliver what is known as the quadruple play: fixed landline, mobile telephony, broadband Internet access and multi-channel television. Telephone operators, Internet service providers and cable TV companies have all suddenly found themselves in the same business. Cable companies now offer broadband Internet and voice services over networks that used to carry just television; telecommunications companies will offer television signals after they upgrade their networks and Internet service providers are now beginning to offer telephone and video over their network. <br /><br />Convergence--any company that can deliver high-speed information to a customer can offer any and all of these services. Imagine getting all of the information and entertainment that you want from one company for one low-price. Sounds great doesn't it? So what's the problem?</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>It is difficult to say if there will be any problems.<span style=""> </span>Convergence is a response to increasing competition in these converging industries.<span style=""> </span>Companies will do whatever they can to get your business and hold onto it.<span style=""> </span>Make no mistake.<span style=""> </span>These large companies are not interested in you.<span style=""> </span>They are interested in your business.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>Companies may try to control which devices you can connect to the network and which services you can use once connected.<span style=""> </span>After networks are established consumers may see prices increase drastically due to lack of competition in the market.<span style=""> </span>If legislators do not keep up with the evolving technology we may see advanced networks available in only selected locations, such as wealthy neighborhoods.<span style=""> </span><span style=""> </span>Consumers may also see an increase in marketing content <st1:citation st="on">(advertisements)</st1:citation> through their televisions, computers and mobile devices.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>The possibilities of Converging technology is truly appealing, but as consumers we must be conscious of the services that we are paying for to ensure that we are not just putting money into the pockets of large corporations for what we think is better or more convenient. <span style=""> </span>We need to hold these companies and our government accountable for providing quality services and content at reasonable prices to everyone.<br /><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9662391-7709264969399208832?l=medact.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Matt Mena-Landrynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9662391.post-34212398237392555192007-01-15T17:33:00.000-08:002007-01-20T17:34:21.917-08:00<o:p></o:p>January 12-14, approximately 3500 media creators, educators and activists gathered to discuss topics related to media reform on a national level.<span style=""> </span>Many big players, like Bill Moyers, Jesse Jackson, Geena Davis, Jane Fonda, Van Jones, as well as FCC commissioners as well as state and federal legislators were on hand to share their views and discuss not only what is wrong with our current media infrastructure in the United States, but how we can go about trying to fix it. <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>I sat in on as many sessions as I could and I have this to report: many people are pissed off and are working to make massive change.<span style=""> </span>People are taking independent media more seriously and questioning the corporate controlled media marketing machine that has been churning out content for the past 30 years.<span style=""> </span>I believe that a revolution is starting, fueled mainly by discontent with the existing systems and made possible by creative uses of technology.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>This isn't just a revolution of media.<span style=""> </span>Look at the congressional changes across the country.<span style=""> </span>Right here in <st1:place st="on"><st1:state st="on">Massachusetts</st1:State></st1:place> we have our first Democratic governor in quite a while, and the second black governor in the country's history.<span style=""> </span>The majority of people want something to change.<span style=""> </span>Most people might not even know what that is yet but it starts by asking questions.<span style=""> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>Ask why you watch so much television. <span style=""> </span>Ask why reality TV has nothing to do with reality. <span style=""> </span>Ask why advertisers are getting more and more aggressive.

Cities are recognizing that access to the Internet is a fundamental part of society - such as having access to electricity or to the telephone network. as a result, cities are developing ways to provide wireless Internet access (known as municipal wireless or muni wifi) to its citizens. Cambridge and Boston both have plans to develop muni wifi networks over the next couple of years, along with 300 other cities around the country. Some cities, including San Francisco, New Orleans, Philadelphia, and Alexandria, VA, are moving ahead on partnerships with large companies like EarthLink (which is making a major push into muni wireless). These plans involve varying funding mechanisms for build-out and maintenance: public money, private money, ad-revenue, and/or subscription fees. Meanwhile many community groups have set up low- or no-cost networks within cities. <br /><br />according to a city newsletter Cambridge’s Information Technology Department, working with other city departments, MIT, Harvard, and the Museum of Science, intends “to blanket Cambridge with free basic-level wireless access” http://www.cambridgema.gov/CityOfCambridge_Content/documents/Cambridge_Life_0906.pdf<br /><br />The deployment will happen in phases and the City has prioritized delivering service to subsidized and low-income housing areas.

I imagine that there is a sense of the organization giving back to the world but there is a stark difference between this concept and the concept of sustainability. is anything concerning technology actually sustainable? this is a different concept than "can we make enough money to buy new technology next year". I'm sure there are many different opinions on this and I like to hear them.<br /><br />wikipedia has this to say:<br /><br /><blockquote>Sustainability is a systemic concept, relating to the continuity of economic, social, institutional and environmental aspects of human society, as well as the non-human environment. It is intended to be a means of configuring civilization and human activity so that society, its members and its economies are able to meet their needs and express their greatest potential in the present, while preserving biodiversity and natural ecosystems, and planning and acting for the ability to maintain these ideals in a very long term. Sustainability affects every level of organization, from the local neighbourhood to the entire planet.</blockquote><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9662391-114861845936966698?l=medact.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Matt Mena-Landrynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9662391.post-1147751062656374292006-05-15T20:42:00.000-07:002006-05-15T20:44:22.656-07:00An On-line Community Discussion featuring Live Podcasting and Blogging<br />[Boston-area folks invited to be in the live audience]<br /><br />read more on the tactical media blog <a href="http://tacticalmedia.blogspot.com/">http://tacticalmedia.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Encuentro 5<br />http://www.encuentro5.org/<br />33 Harrison Ave., 5th Floor<br />Boston, MA 02111<br />-- corner of Harrison Ave. and Beach St. in Chinatown, 3 blocks from the Boston Common --<br /><br />Wednesday, May 17th, 2006<br />6:30-8:30 p.m.<br /><br />The Community Media and Technology Program at the UMass Boston College of Public and Community Service, The Tactical Media Project, and Massachusetts Global Action are presenting a communications policy discussion and community meeting.<br /><br />Public media and the Internet are in deep trouble.

The term blog is a shortened form of <b>weblog</b> or <b>web log</b>. Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called "blogging". Individual articles on a blog are called "blog posts," "posts" or "entries". Blogs can be hosted by dedicated blog hosting services, or they can be run using blog software on regular web hosting services. </p> <h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;">How blogs differ from traditional sites<o:p></o:p></span></h3> <p>A blog has certain attributes that distinguish it from a standard web page. It allows for easy creation of new pages: new data is entered into a simple form (usually with the title, the category, and the body of the article) and then submitted. Automated templates take care of adding the article to the home page, creating the new full article page (Permalink), and adding the article to the appropriate date- or category-based archive. It allows for easy filtering of content for various presentations: by date, category, author, or other attributes. It usually allows the administrator to invite and add other authors, whose permission and access are easily managed.</p> <h3><a name="Difference_from_forums_or_newsgroups"></a><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Difference from forums or newsgroups<o:p></o:p></span></h3> <p>Blogs are different from forums or newsgroups. Only the author or authoring group can create new subjects for discussion on a blog. A network of blogs can function like a forum in that every entity in the blog network can create subjects of their choosing for others to discuss. Such networks require interlinking to function, so a group blog with multiple people holding posting rights is now becoming more common. Even where others post to a blog, the blog owners or editors will initiate and frame discussion, manipulating the situation to their specifications</p> <h3><a name="Digital_media"></a><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Digital media<o:p></o:p></span></h3> <p>While straight text and hyperlinks dominate, some blogs emphasize images and videos (videoblogging).</p> <p>Some textual blogs link to audio files (podcasting). </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Steve Garfield...<st1:place st="on"><st1:state st="on">Massachusetts</st1:State></st1:place> own father of the Vlog.

Generally it's Digital Video whether it's on a DV tape, DVD or a file on disk.<br /><br />DV is a specific Digital Video format based on DV tape - where the conversion between analog and digital information is done inside the camera. Most of us know this as miniDV in our pro-sumer cameras. For a longer discussion of this check out <a class="l" href="http://www.dvcentral.org/dvwhat.html">What is <b>DV</b>?</a><br /><br />What about DVC and DVCAM you ask?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.panasonic.com/PBDS/index.html">DVCPRO</a> was created by Panasonic in 1995, followed one year later by Sony's <a href="http://www.sony.ca/dvcam/">DVCAM</a>. The formats sound alike and they basically use the same video and audio encoding format as the consumer DV format. But they have subtle and not-so-subtle differences in speed, makeup and track pitch of the tapes being used. Of course, they also cost significantly more than the consumer models. To "differentiate" the products even more, Sony invented some hurdles which can prevent copying from DV to DVCAM via Firewire.<br /><br />Let's have a breakdown.<br /><br /><ul><li>DV usually refers to miniDV</li><li>DVCAM prints the same DV bitstream to a larger, more featured tape stock</li><li>DVCPro uses a robust tape stock and supports a high-quality mode - DVCPro 50 which digitizes at twice the data rate as DV</li><li>DVCPro HD uses DVCPro tape stock to record a compressed 720:1080 pixel "hi-def" frame at 14 Mbytes/sec</li><li>HDV uses the same miniDV tape stock to record compressed digital video with 1080:1440 frame sizes at a standard DV data rate</li></ul>Confused yet? well, if not <a href="http://videoexpert.home.att.net/artic3/256dvcr.htm">Digital formats compared</a> will do it to you.<br /><br /><br /><a class="l" href="http://www.dvcentral.org/dvwhat.html"></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9662391-113867379216819357?l=medact.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Matt Mena-Landrynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9662391.post-1133976139329424142005-12-07T08:14:00.000-08:002005-12-07T09:22:19.400-08:00<div class="moz-text-flowed" style="font-family: -moz-fixed; font-size: 13px;" lang="x-western">The discussions – in the house will involve <b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>House Energy and Commerce<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b> *Chairman Joe Barton,* R-Texas, *Energy and Commerce ranking member John Dingell*, D-Mich., and <b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>Reps.

Could this be seen as data discrimination?<br /><br />Companies that rely on the Internet to distribute their services – such as Google -- want language in the bill to ensure “network neutrality.” This involves a requirement that cable or telecom companies cannot impede data flowing over the Internet. Think of it like electricity. When you plug in your TV set to the wall the electric company doesn't care who made your TV and won't place any extra static on the line based on it - also known as common carriage.<br /><br />Legislators (well their aides anyway) in the Senate committee are working on a third version - but we don't know yet if it will address the issue of “ network neutrality”<br /><br />The big issue right now is infrastructure. The phone companies want to make sure that the cable companies have to play by the same rules (paying into universal access) and both industries want to be able to offer competitive services. SBC, Verizon and the other bells need to stay competitive with Comcast and the other cable companies both in terms of access and content distribution.<br /><br />the interesting thing about this debate is that it is still being thought of as two separate industries and the language of the legislation will most likely reflect that. in my opinion this is about IP (Internet protocol) infrastructure and regulating franchise. the industries are overlapping and within a couple of years it will be difficult to separate them. phone/video/music - it's all going to go through the air, over the phone lines,over fiber-optic, over cable .<br /><br />This also goes into the PEG world (public, education, government) of cable channels. It is very likely that new legislation will remove any control that cities and local communities have over the contracts with cable companies. The idea being that the customer should have the control (consumer choice act). This could have a negative effect areof removing the existence of the smaller PEG channels altogether. It's likely that many large channels will take a hit but remain functional<br /><br />later,<br />matt<br /><br />_______________________________________________<br />Cmtwork mailing list<br /><a

A 35% national cap prevented broadcasters from owning stations<br />that would reach more than that number of the nation's homes.<br /><b>1946</b> Network mergers prohibited. Dual Television Network Rule barred one major<br />network from buying another.<br /><b>1964<br /></b>Broadcasters could only own one station per market. TV broadcasters<br />prohibited from owning more then one station unless there are more then eight<br />stations.<br /><b>1970</b> Cross-ownership of Radio and TV banned. Broadcaster could not own a radio<br />station and a television station in the same market.<br /><b>1975</b> Newspaper and TV cross-ownership restricted. One company was prohibited<br />from owning both a newspaper and a TV broadcast station in the same market.<br /><b>1981<br /></b>Deregulation by FCC and Congress. This first round of deregulation allowed a<br />company to own up to 12 TV stations (up from seven), as long as those stations<br />did not reach more than 25 percent of the population.<br /><b>1987<br /></b>DC Circuit Court eliminated fairness doctrine. Since the FCC's inception, the<br />fairness doctrine had held that radio and TV license holders were public trustees<br />charged with 1) taking reasonable steps to present multiple and opposing<br />viewpoints and 2)performing public service reporting on key community<br />issues. In 1987, the DC Circuit Court held in Meredith Corp. v. FCC that the FCC<br />could not enforce the doctrine.<br /><b>1992<br /></b>The Cable Act of 1992 gave broadcasters the power to demand "bundled<br />programming." Large broadcasters, claiming that cable companies were getting<br />rich from "re-transmitting" their programming, prompted the Act's "must<br />carry"/"Retransmission consent" option. Smaller stations elected "must-carry" in<br />order to be sure that all broadcast programming was aired. Larger broadcasters,<br />however, were able to negotiate favorable contracts in exchange for<br />"retransmission consent," contracts that often required cable companies to show<br />- and pay for - additional stations owned by the broadcasters (bundling).<br /><b>Feb.<br />1996<br /></b>Telecommunications Act of 1996 engendered further deregulation of media<br />policy.

Clear Channel is in the business of "selling product". news, information and researched music do not appear on clear channel stations<br /><br />6) how do we attack the problem? should we advocate for more independent media creators, creating restrictions and policy on the distribution mechanism or the policy that governs how these companies do business?<br /><br />7) How can the public effectively lobby against $222 million? who should be lobbying?<br /><br />8) how can the public prove that Fox News does not serve public interest? ever see outfoxed?<br /><br />9) what would it look like for media companies to prove that they are meeting public-interest obligations? how would they try to get around this?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9662391-112848518151887161?l=medact.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Matt Mena-Landrynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9662391.post-1128485108277401322005-10-01T21:04:00.000-07:002005-10-04T21:12:41.246-07:00I now work at BNN and we are going to <a href="http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2005/10/02/putting_the_power_back_on_site_to_hum_with_tv_studios/">mov</a>e sometime in 2007<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9662391-112848510827740132?l=medact.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Matt Mena-Landrynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9662391.post-1128485052114552372005-09-30T21:03:00.000-07:002005-10-04T21:12:01.980-07:00as for the bulletin board...it's ready to use<br /><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.cpcs.umb.edu/cmt/work/forums/index.php">http://www.cpcs.umb.edu/cmt/work/forums/index.php</a><br /><br />to use the system you have to create an account<br /><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.cpcs.umb.edu/cmt/work/forums/register.php">http://www.cpcs.umb.edu/cmt/work/forums/register.php</a><br /><br />I have created a new forum called media policy 101 - let us start our discussion there<br /><br />as for training...we probably aren't all going to be together at the same time so my suggestion would be too break it up.

Through the democratizing power of digital technology and the Internet, we can place the tools of creation and distribution, communication and collaboration, teaching and learning into the hands of the common person -- and with a truly active, connected, informed citizenry, injustice and oppression will slowly but surely vanish from the earth.<br /><br />We believe that culture should be a two-way affair, about participation, not merely consumption. We will not be content to sit passively at the end of a one-way media tube. With the Internet and other advances, the technology exists for a new paradigm of creation, one where anyone can be an artist, and anyone can succeed, based not on their industry connections, but on their merit."<br /><br />I'm going to look into getting a chapter started...<br /><br /></pre><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9662391-112762576620494876?l=medact.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Matt Mena-Landrynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9662391.post-1119317166953162932005-06-20T18:23:00.000-07:002005-06-20T18:26:06.956-07:00<span style="font-family:courier;font-size:78%;">The only unlicensed operation that is permitted on the AM and FM broadcast bands is covered under Part 15 of the FCC's rules, and is limited to a coverage radius of approximately 200 feet.

I'm going to be assisting with a video documentary class this semester. there were several challenges facing students last semester (I know because I was one of them) such as logistical and technical complications in the lab. I am hoping to be available to help navigate some of these possible problems. I will also be researching the idea of creating a media club.

Introduction <br />A. Option one - Narrator voice as we walked down a hallway towards the wits end Café - what is CPCS and what are some major concerns? <br />B. Option two - conversation between narrator and another student. <br />1. “How are your classes is going?” “OK but there doesn't seem to be many offerings this semester” “I was talking to someone from liberal arts the other day and they didn't even know what CPCS was” “we should figure out why we feel like we have issues and no one knows who we are” <br />C. table conversation with three different perspectives on what CPCS is at the wits end Café <br />D. Narration of history by Professor (Michael Stone, Joan Arches) Dean? <br />1. relate to the College to the urban mission <br />2. promotion of CPCS from the University <br />3. other issues caused by CPCS (isolationism) <br />4. In addition get some facts from Sarah Bartlett related to enrollments and retention - two other serious issues for CPCS <br />5. why do you think that enrollment is down <br />II. Admissions <br />A. outline process by admission worker <br />1. Is this process fair to all colleges? <br />B. five stories from current CPCS students <br />1. Questions <br />a. Why were you first interested in CPCS? <br />b. What was your first contact with the University? <br />c. Did University admissions guide you to the College of your choice? <br />d. Are you happy with where you are? <br />III. Enrollment <br />A. Why is enrollment down? <br />B. How is this impacted by the current admissions process? <br />IV. Retention <br />A. how does CPCS compare to the other colleges <br /> <br /> <br />Items and red may be beyond the scope of this project. <br /> <br />This raises some specific questions: <br /> <br />What about the larger problem of university enrollment being down? Should we look for problems in admissions that relate to this as well? <br /> <br />How should interviews be done? i.e. should we use a narrator off-camera? <br /> <br /> <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9662391-110618542836704727?l=medact.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Matt Mena-Landrynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9662391.post-1104426542269153352004-12-30T09:06:00.000-08:002004-12-30T09:09:02.270-08:00Currently in London vacationing, partying and volunteering for spanner films. http://www.spannerfilms.net/?cc=1 <br /> <br />to return on jan. 5 <br /> <br />-matt<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9662391-110442654226915335?l=medact.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Matt Mena-Landrynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9662391.post-1103484637429324712004-12-19T11:30:00.000-08:002004-12-19T11:31:54.306-08:00 <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><b style=""><u><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" >Concept</span></u></b><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" >:<span style=""> </span><b style="">Social action with video</b><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><u><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" >Goal</span></u><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" >:<span style=""> </span>To strengthen the University and the </span><st1:place><st1:placetype><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" >College</span></st1:placetype><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" > of </span><st1:placename><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" >Public</span></st1:placename></st1:place><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" > and Community Service (CPCS) enrollment and relevance to the urban mission.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" > <br /><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><u><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" >Problem</span></u><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" >:<span style=""> </span>We as CPCS students recognized an issue within the </span><st1:place><st1:placetype><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" >University</span></st1:placetype><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" > of </span><st1:placename><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" >Massachusetts</span></st1:placename></st1:place><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" > at </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" >Boston</span></st1:place></st1:city><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" > undergraduate admissions process.<span style=""> </span>By documenting the admissions experience of CPCS students, we hope to point out how the admissions process is negatively affecting the College and is failing to meet the needs of the University.<span style=""> </span>At the same time we are aware that steps are being taken by some within the process to make positive changes.<span style=""> </span>We hope to also documenting these changes and show that such progress can lead to a more beneficial relationship<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><u><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" >Background</span></u><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" >:<span style=""> </span>The </span><st1:place><st1:placetype><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" >University</span></st1:placetype><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" > of </span><st1:placename><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" >Massachusetts Boston</span></st1:placename></st1:place><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" > was established in 1964 to provide the opportunity for superior education at moderate cost to the people of greater </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" >Boston</span></st1:place></st1:city><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" >.

I have been interested in and working with technology for about seven years both professionally and as an amateur or musician. I had my first experience with video in 2001 at <a href="http://www.cctvcambridge.org/">Cambridge community television</a> working camera on a shoot in their studio. I took several classes and became an intern in the computer lab. I was the creative director for a television show based on short fiction and video feedback.<br /><br /><a href="http://juliechen.net/">Julie</a>, a friend and creative collaborator, and myself produced <a href="http://clshorts.blogspot.com/">skin</a>, our first digital video short in 2003. after this I decided to focus my energies toward documentaries and community media. I'm currently taking classes at UMass Boston as a community planning major. .<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9662391-110347746721552615?l=medact.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Matt Mena-Landrynoreply@blogger.com0
