 (Arts & Entertainment Feature) Joe Wertz on Brett Weston This week the Oklahoma Gazette's Joe Wertz previews a retrospective exhibit of one of America's more uniquely gifted photographers, Brett Weston. Brett Weston: Out of the Shadow showcases the evolution of this famed black-and-white photographer and how he took real objects and presented them in a manner that more resembled abstract art. The traveling exhibition is the first major retrospective of Brett Weston’s work in over 30 years and is making its first stop at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art (through May 18th). More information is also available at (405) 236-3100.Thursday, May 8th, 2008  MP3 | ||
Oklahoma Voices: Student Journalists Cover Crises on Campus When tragic events occur on college campuses, reporters from student newspapers are often the first journalists on the scene. Amie Steele was a junior at Virginia Tech and the Editor-in-Chief of the Collegiate Times one year ago, when a fellow student went on a shooting spree that left thirty-two people dead. “We weren’t outsiders looking in like most of the national media,” Steele told The New York Times. “The victims were just like us – they walked past the same buildings, ate in the same dining halls – and there is absolutely no way you can remove yourself from that.”Monday, May 5, 2008 at 11am This week on Oklahoma Voices we listen to a panel discussion with student newspaper editors and advisors from Virginia Tech and Northern Illinois University, which experienced its own shooting in February. They speak about how they covered the events and what lessons they learned. In addition to Amie Steele, the speakers include Virginia Tech media editorial advisor Kelly Furnas, NIU journalism senior and Northern Sun Editor-in Chief John Puterbaugh and Northern Sun faculty advisor Jim Killam. The forum was recorded last month on the campus of the University of Oklahoma. MP3 | ||
