Christof Demont-Heinrich worked with professors in Slovenia (Dr. Marko Ivanišin) and Australia (Dr. Zala Volčič and Dr. Nicholas Carah) to create an international electronic bulletin board among University of Denver students, University of Maribor students and University of Queensland students. The global forum has been repeated four times with four different groups of students. Students from the three different universities have exchanged views on issues of global significance in all four iterations of the forum. These issues range from global warming to the spread of American culture to the Iraq War and the 2008 U.S. presidential election.
Renée Botta, chair of the department of Media, Film and Journalism Studies, has been conducting research on water, sanitation and hygiene in an urban slum in Nairobi, Kenya, as part of a team of researchers from the University of Denver. In summer 2010, Botta and an adjunct faculty member from Daniels College of Business brought 9 graduate students to help conduct research on women's empowerment and safety, community governance, and business operations for existing water and sanitation systems in the slum, and the hygiene knowledge, attitudes and practices of those who live there. |

The media industries are undergoing tremendous changes. With the Internet, youtube, blogs, online gaming, digital television, satellite radio, and cell phones, people are actively creating their own news and entertainment experiences like never before. Yet at the same time, the global media conglomerates continue to grow in size, swallowing up newcomers and reducing the opportunities for diverse programming while also shrinking news staffs in the interests of profit. The industries are investing huge resources into developing new models for delivering media products in the emergent digital environment. |
