Ithaca College

Julie Blumberg, assistant professor in the Department of Cinema, Photography, and Media Arts, attended the "Future Of Television" conference in March. 

While in Los Angeles, Blumberg did research for the school’s television writing curriculum. She met with major show creators including Shawn Ryan, of The Shield and The Unit, and James Duff, who created The Closer, to discuss if technology is affecting how industry professionals write and pitch.

She is also organizing a panel for the upcoming University Film and Video Association (UFVA) conference in August, titled "Teaching Television Writing in the Post-Network Age," and will present a paper on this topic.
