In this episode, Christine and Michael finally meet face-to-face, and the banter is electric! Coming to you from the luxuriously appointed Aca-Media Command Centre in South Bend, Indiana, we investigate the Peabody awards and their connection to academia, including the amazing Peabody Archives that every media scholar should know about. Also, in our "Cinema Journal Presents" segment, we talk with Hollis Griffin about the challenges and joys of being a junior scholar in film and media studies at this moment in the history of the academy and the discipline. Bonus feature: Bill speaks! With a human voice!

This month, we introduce a new segment, "Cinema Journal Classics," in which we look back at an especially important or influential article (or just one of our favorites) from the CJ archives. In this installment, we return to the Autumn, 2005 "In Focus" feature on "The Place of Television Studies" and talk with one of those authors, Horace Newcomb, about television studies and his career in general. Then we bring you an interview with Aviva Dove-Viebahn about the SCMS website and the challenges the organization faces as it moves deeper into the online world. Finally, we invite you to contribute to an upcoming "Vox Scholari" segment: Tell us about a moment when you were surprised in the classroom. You can record your response and email it to info@aca-media.org.
