VALDOSTA – Jason Brown, an associate professor of mass media at Valdosta State University, has been selected to participate in the Television Academy Foundation’s 2018 Faculty Seminar Program. 

Members of the Television Academy selected just 25 professors from colleges and universities nationwide to participate in the prestigious program, according to university officials.

The faculty fellows will gain the latest information on the television and content development industries from top entertainment professionals during a weeklong Southern California seminar from Nov. 5-9, they said.

The seminar will include panel discussions with broadcast and cable network programming and scheduling executives, legal experts and cutting-edge content creators. 

Private studio tours and trips to top Hollywood production facilities to meet with producers, observe production and get first-hand updates on the latest in television technologies are also part of the program.

First launched in 1987, the foundation’s annual seminar offers faculty a comprehensive program designed to enhance knowledge and in turn enrich learning environments.
