9/11 Remembered documentary rebroadcast this week on AUTV-20

On this the 12th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center, JDM is rebroadcasting its documentary 9/11 Remembered all this week on AUTV-20. Air times are 12:00am, 6am, 12:00pm, 6pm and 11pm on Armstrong.

Hosted by JDM major Hilary Neal, 9/11 Remembered explores how the Ashland community was affected on that fateful day and examines the compelling question of, "What is justice?"



In 2011, JDM's first documentary production garnered good reviews and an Emmy nomination in the student category from the Lower Great Lakes Chapter of the Television Arts & Sciences.

Go Eagles!

Senior JDM major Elizabeth Bucheit got to practice her on-camera skills when she hosted the recent taping of the 2013 Ashland University Football Preview Show.

Produced by the JDM production team last month and taped in and around the Dwight Schar Athletic Complex, this fast-paced 30-minute preview of all things Eagle football features interviews with Head Football Coach Lee Owens and several players.

Look for the 2013 Ashland University Football Preview Show on AUTV-20 and WMFD Mansfield.

JDM professor publishes story on SBNation Longform

Matt Tullis, an assistant professor of journalism and digital media, published the story, "Who is Stella Walsh: The story of the intersex Olympian" on the national literary sports journalism website SBNation Longform.

The story can be read here.

Stella Walsh came to Cleveland in 1911 as an infant. By her late teens, she was dominating local and national races, particularly short sprints. She won the gold medal in the 100 meter dash, running for her native Poland, at the 1932 Olympics, and the silver four years later in the same event in Berlin.

She continued her athletic career, setting at least 20 world records in track and field. Tragically, she was murdered in a department store parking lot in Cleveland in December 1980. Her autopsy unveiled a secret she had kept all of her life: that Stella Walsh was not entirely female.

This is the second time Tullis has published a story with SBNation Longform. In October 2012, he published the story "Feet of Clay, Heart of Iron," a profile of Brian Simmons, the world's second-best horseshoe pitcher. That story was listed in Byliner.com's list of 102 Spectacular Nonfiction Stories of 2012.

JDM preserves a part of Kates Gymnasium floor

It was a simple, yet genius question posed by JDM Operations Manager John Skrada to Paul Brady, Director of Maintenance and Grounds of AU Facilities Management, "Can we preserve a part of the floor?"

Skrada and AUTV-20 Advisor Tim McCarty had walked over to check out the Kates Gym renovations when they realized the floor was being cut up and hauled away.

Brady's answer? "Sure fellas, what part?"

After deciding the north end foul line, top of the key area and GLIAC logo in the paint would make a perfect addition to JDM's TV Studio, the area was marked off with duct tape and workers cut the area into six pieces. The pieces were then transported back to the CFA, fitted back together and received a good cleaning.

It's only fitting that the interviews for next season's preview show featuring the reigning D2 Women's National Champion be shot on the 50-year-old floor that supported AU basketball and sent AUWBB off to San Antonio on their historic title run.

Look for a shiny 8' x 16' bit of AU history on AUTV-20 this fall!
