Arts Services Inc. in Buffalo awarded their first Spark Awards in five years last night and The Buffalo Hive, edited on Journalism professor Elmer Ploetz, was runner-up (honorable mention) for Supporter of the Arts & Culture Sector. Not bad for a publication that's only two years old! Among the friends met at the event was Chelsea O'Donnell, Fredonia audio major, class of '13 and leader of Stress Dolls. She's on the left with Ploetz (center) and Bob McLennan, the VP of the Hive's board of directors. BTW, The Buffalo Hive has provided a number of interns with chances to write and do social media since launching!

How do you turn civics and history into content people actually want to watch? Ask Cory McCants!

Cory hosts and produces Buffalo Toronto Public Media’s Compact Civics and Compact History, using short-form digital storytelling to introduce audiences to government, civic responsibility, and lesser-known stories from American history.

On Sept. 16, he’s bringing that work to Fredonia as our featured Constitution Day speaker.

For Communication students interested in video production, content creation, media, storytelling, journalism, public media, or audience engagement, this is a chance to see how those skills are being used professionally and to meet someone doing the work.

The Department of Communication is proud to co-sponsor Cory’s visit.
