The Bayliss Foundation transfers administration of the Bayliss Scholarship to the Broadcast Education Association. From their Press Release:
The Foundation will transfer the administration of its scholarship program and funding to a third-party organization specializing in educational scholarships, which will be identified and announced in the near future. The Board of Directors will appoint a liaison committee to work with this organization and will continue operating under this new structure until industry conditions permit a return to a self-governing independent entity.
Look for more information soon at either the BEA Home or the Bayliss Website.

While not a true issue for radio and audio media, I thought I’d see if anyone else has figured a better way of removing the Vuvuzela’s from the World Cup?!?
BEA is proud to Officially announce BEA2011 will be held at the Las Vegas Hilton, April 9-13. The change in location and dates will allow BEA attendees to take advantage of more of what the NABshow has to offer, and give us our own defined space for all events. Please visit the BEA2011 web page at www.beaweb.org/bea2011 for any and all questions about the convention.
The Paper and Panel submission process is now up and running through All-Academic, and remember, September 15th is the deadline for all paper and panel submissions!
Anyone care to join me in proposing a panel about innovation in college radio for the CBI Conference coming to Louisville in October? Please reply ASAP if you’re interested.

From David Byland the editor of the Journal of Media Education comes this recent call for manuscripts and reviews:
There are several websites that readers have asked to be reviewed in JoME. C-Span has made available its archives (http://www.c-spanvideo.org). Are you using this resource in the classroom? If so, perhaps you might review the benefits and drawbacks of this resource. Have you ever heard of Video Copilot (http://www.videocopilot.net)? They offer free tutorials for After Effects and other software. Maybe you’ve got some insight to share about their content.
If you’re one of our readers who are working with NATPE, or on a Fulbright, please remember that your experiences are of real interest and value to your colleagues. You may want to consider submitting an article about those experiences, or even co-authoring an article with a colleague as Dom Caristi did in JoME 1.1.
Those who know me know that I have a love of the outdoors and a deep respect for nature. I spend a lot of time hiking, camping, riding, and photographing wildlife and nature, and advocate the “leave no trace” philosophy. So what does this have to do with JoME? Well, just this…many of us have a love of the world around us, and are interested in preserving it for those yet to come. The buzzword is “Sustainability”. But how does that translate into what we do in the classroom? Are you teaching environmental reporting? What about travel/nature photography and videography? Have your students done internships with National Geographic or Greenpeace? What about teaching ad campaigns or web designs that focus on sustainability? In October, I would like JoME to focus on Sustainability and what that means in media education. I want to know what we are doing to ensure the next generation of media professionals will continue to have a voice in the preservation of our world. So send in your articles about how sustainability translates into pedagogical practice, how you teach to and about sustainability, and how the rest of us can adopt some of these techniques in our classrooms.
And thanks to Fred Thorne for making me think about these things a bit more!
Have a wonderful summer…
