Communications

Interested in television? Come to ICTV's Recruitment Night to learn more about this semester's weekly programming lineup and how you can get involved!

ICTV is a student-operated television production organization serving 26,000 local Tompkins County cable households with a variety of community oriented programming.

More than 20 different shows are set for production this fall, covering sports, news, entertainment, comedy, drama, animation, children's programming and game shows.

Joel Simon, Executive Director of the Committee to Protect Journalists, will deliver a lecture on the state of media freedom in the United States and across the globe. Upholding freedom of expression and the rights of journalists is essential at a time when reporters are being murdered and imprisoned in record numbers; when misinformation and disinformation are proliferating online; and when a new generation of autocratic leaders is seeking to suppress criticism and dissent.

The Park Center for Independent Media is organizing a public forum on November 12 at 4-5:30pm in Textor 103. IC Faculty members – Tom Shevory (Politics), Carlos Figueroa (Politics) and Allison Frisch (Journalism) will interpret the election results highlighting the key issues that were raised during the political campaigns across different states.

Leza Raffel will be introducing students to a panel of Ithaca nonprofit organizations that all seek communication support from IC students. Learn about unique ways you can apply your skills to real-world projects and internships with these organizations and build your resume while doing so.

Organizations participating in the panel:
