Innovative Newhouse Collaboration with Support from Canon USA, Leads to New Documentary

A documentary about communities in western New York and Puerto Rico united by struggles against environmental injustice debuts this week at the Newhouse School at Syracuse University, the result of an innovative collaboration that includes the Universidad del Sagrado Corazón in Puerto Rico and limited financial and equipment support from Canon U.S.A.

“A Tale of Two Cities: Reclaiming Niagara Falls and Salinas” is the result of a yearlong project between students at Newhouse and Sagrado. Canon, a leader in digital imaging solutions, played an integral role in facilitating the long-distance collaboration through the company’s AMLOS (Activate My Line of Sight) solution.

Students used Canon’s EOS R5 C hybrid camera to shoot “A Tale of Two Cities.” They took advantage of Canon’s AMLOS solution, technology that facilitated real-time interaction and allowed students from each institution to work together so they could merge their perspectives and skills into a cohesive documentary project.

The film will debut Sept. 20 at the Newhouse School, followed by a question-and-answer session with the student filmmakers.

“Canon is proud to support this groundbreaking project,” Shinya Fukuda, senior vice president of corporate planning and communications at Canon U.S.A. “By providing our advanced AMLOS solution and EOS R5 C systems, we enabled students from Syracuse and Puerto Rico to collaborate seamlessly, empowering them to tell stories that can inspire change.”

Support for the project was also provided by The SOURCE, a Syracuse University initiative that supports undergraduates participating in faculty-guided research and creative activity.

The idea for a collaboration arose in 2022, when Gabriel Paizy Damiani ’90, former dean of the Ferré Rangel School of Communication at Sagrado, had a conversation with Newhouse Dean Mark J. Lodato during a visit to Syracuse University. Paizy Damiani graduated from Newhouse with a bachelor’s in advertising.

“‘A Tale of Two Cities’ is the outcome of the more than a year of hard work by talented students and dedicated faculty,” Lodato said. “It is a testament to the kind of impact that strong partnerships with industry and other universities can have on sharing compelling stories about local communities.”

The film was developed late last year by students at both institutions, with students at Syracuse focused on a community in Niagara Falls, its long struggle with environmental problems and the impact on the city’s economic woes. Students at Sagrado focused on a community in Salinas on the south side of Puerto Rico dealing with potential health risks from a nearby commercial sterilizer plant.

The film was produced between February and August this year.

“This project truly enabled our students to understand the power of collaboration,” said Milton Santiago, an assistant professor of visual communications at Newhouse, who guided the Newhouse contingent. RC Concepción, an assistant teaching professor of visual communications, helped students document the making of the project.

“Despite being geographically distant, the students at Syracuse and at Sagrado were able to rally around a common goal: telling an important story while raising awareness about a timely issue,” Santiago said. “In joining forces through storytelling, the work they have created will have impact beyond our academic walls.”

The project’s success demonstrated the power of technology to collaborate across academic disciplines, said Harold Leonard Navarro, assistant professor of audiovisual production at Sagrado. “This experience has opened the door for future projects, bringing together students and faculty from diverse backgrounds in innovative ways.”

Jennifer Wybieracki G’24, who worked on the documentary while earning her master’s degree in magazine, news and digital journalism, said the experience will leave a lasting impression on those who worked on the project.

“The collaboration between multidisciplinary fields is super important as we’re able to see how different industries operate and how we all contribute to the end product,” she said.

Three distinguished graduates of the Newhouse School will be among seven accomplished alumni who will be recognized by Syracuse University’s Office of Multicultural Advancement during Coming Back Together (CBT), which will be held Sept. 12-15.

CBT is a triennial reunion that welcomes Black and Latino alumni back to campus to celebrate their accomplishments, meet current students and remain connected with the University.

The 2024 gathering represents the 14th CBT reunion held on campus. In 2021, the University’s reunion raised $1.29 million for the Our Time Has Come scholarship.

The award recipients will be celebrated by Chancellor Kent Syverud at the “Shades of Orange Sneaker Ball” fundraising gala on Saturday, Sept. 14, from 6:30-11 p.m. in the JMA Wireless Dome. The awards recognize the significant civic or career achievements by the selected. Since 1983, the ceremony has been a signature event presented at the CBT reunion.

“I am so pleased to celebrate these outstanding alumni at the 2024 Coming Back Together reunion,” says Chancellor Syverud. “Each of these awardees, through their careers and their commitment to Syracuse University, inspires the next generation of leaders.

I am proud to honor the Orange leaders for all they do for their alma mater.”

Syracuse University’s Newhouse School Launches Bandier Music Business Master’s Program

The Newhouse School is offering a new master’s degree in music business, expanding on the success of the prestigious undergraduate program in the recording and entertainment industries. 

Both degree programs are named after Martin Bandier ’62, the legendary music publishing executive and Syracuse University Life Trustee. The Bandier Program for Recording and Entertainment Industries is regularly recognized as one of the preeminent undergraduate music business programs in the country.  

The new Bandier music business master’s program will offer students the same top features that set apart the undergraduate program, delivering hands-on experiences, training for cutting-edge skills needed to make students job-ready upon graduation and access to the large and loyal networks of Bandier and Newhouse alumni.  

Billboard magazine has never published its list of the world’s top music business schools without including the Bandier program. 

“Our goal at the Bandier program has always been to be the premier music business school, offering the most comprehensive and cutting-edge education while forging top-tier industry connections,” Bandier said. “With this new master’s program, we’re taking it to the next level, shaping future music leaders who are equipped, connected and ready to make their mark.”

Launching in fall 2025, the Bandier music business master’s program provides a true multidisciplinary education to prepare students for their first job in the music industry. The comprehensive program will cover subjects including the fundamental rights, royalties and deal-making approaches of the modern music business, across the label, publishing, management, streaming and live sectors, and all genres.  

The core music business instruction will allow students to be well-versed on the basics of everything from music law and copyright to current social media and data tools in use by top companies today. Students will also be able to spend a semester in Los Angeles to work in the heart of the music industry.  

The new master’s program will be overseen by Bill Werde, who is also director of the Bandier undergraduate program. Before joining the Newhouse School, Werde served as editorial director of Billboard, which won a 2010 Ellie Award for Digital Media from the American Society of Magazine Editors during Werde’s tenure. Under his direction, Billboard also earned Eddie Awards for Best Media and Entertainment Publication from Folio magazine in 2006 and 2007.  

“Breaking into the music industry can be daunting. If you have great instincts and passion for what fans love in music and how those tastes evolve, the new music business master’s program will give you all the access, skills and network you need for an incredibly fulfilling career in the music industry,” Werde said. “The Bandier program will open doors for students for the rest of their lives.” 

The program presents “a fantastic opportunity for college graduates to acquire the dynamic skills and gain the hands-on experiences that will help them succeed in the thriving music business,” Newhouse Dean Mark J. Lodato said. “We are eternally grateful at Syracuse University for the support of Marty Bandier and his enthusiasm to help the Newhouse School provide a first-class education for students aspiring to work in the recording and entertainment industries.”

Byron Allen to Receive Dressler Leadership Award at 2024 Mirror Awards

Byron Allen, the founder, chairman and CEO of Allen Media Group, will receive the Fred Dressler Leadership Award at the 2024 Mirror Awards on June 13 in New York City.

Headquartered in Los Angeles,  Allen Media Group  owns 27 ABC-NBC-CBS-FOX network affiliate broadcast television stations in 21 U.S. markets and 12 24-hour HD television networks serving nearly 300 million subscribers. Allen Media Group is the first African American-owned multi-platform media company producing and distributing wide-release motion pictures and content for all platforms.

The Dressler Award is given to individuals or organizations that have made distinct and consistent contributions to the public’s understanding of the media. Past recipients include: Judy Woodruff, senior correspondent at PBS; Jorge Ramos, anchor with Univision Noticias; Sheila Nevins, executive producer and former president of HBO Documentary Films and Family for Home Box Office; legendary journalist Tom Brokaw of NBC; and Dean Baquet, executive editor of The New York Times.

MLK50: Justice Through Journalism, an award-winning nonprofit digital newsroom in Memphis, Tennessee, focused on the intersection of poverty, power and policy, will be honored with the Lorraine Branham IDEA Award. Accepting the award will be founding editor and publisher Wendi C. Thomas.

Established in 2021 in honor of late Newhouse Dean Emerita Lorraine Branham, the IDEA Award recognizes a media organization that has worked to promote inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility over the previous year. Specifically, the award acknowledges the hiring and development of leadership talent who create change, both to the organizations they oversee and the content they produce. The inaugural Lorraine Branham IDEA Award went to Brown Girls Doc Mafia. Previous recipients also include The 19th News and Amplifier.
