Our Undergraduate Fellows were honored with a standing ovation last week as they shared their award-winning journalism and research during a year of campus protest. @asc.upenn.edu @miccenter.bsky.social
Anna Vazhaeparambil, wearing black, stands at a wooden podium with the Annenberg School for Communication logo, delivering a speech. Behind the podium is a banner that reads 'Center for Media @ Risk' and 'Annenberg School for Communication University of Pennsylvania.' The background shows part of an audience and white walls. Naima Small stands at the podium in ASC room 500, giving a presentation on her thesis project. The podium has the University of Pennsylvania logo on it. Behind the speaker, there is a wooden door and an exit sign above it. To the left of the speaker, there is a banner that reads 'Center for Media @ Risk' with smaller text underneath that says 'A center for research at the University of Pennsylvania.' Several people are seated in front of the speaker, facing towards them

Yesterday, our visiting scholar @moyazb.bsky.social shared her phenomenal new short film 'You Just Watch & See' about the inspiring life of her cousin Dollie. Look out for 'You Just Watch & See' on this year's film festival circuit! @asc.upenn.edu
A group of people is seated in the audience in ASC room 500, with long wooden tables arranged in rows. Each person has a plate of food and a bottle of water or soda in front of them. The room has white walls, large windows on the right side, and a projector mounted on the ceiling at the front. Professor Sarah Jackson is holding a microphone and asking a question while audience members look at her. Professor Moya Bailey stands at the lectern in ASC room 500, speaking into a microphone. She is wearing a red and white geometric patterned outfit. Behind hwe, a large screen displays the Annenberg School logo and partially visible text. To the right of the screen, a banner reads 'Center for Media at Risk.'

An essential read ahead of the Oscars: Why the #EmiliaPérez movie gets it so wrong & what we should know about forced disappearances in Mexico. By steering committee member @valeproust.bsky.social. Read it here: bit.ly/413VwwS @asc.upenn.edu @bzelizer.bsky.social
This image shows a black card with the word "OSCARS" in white, featuring a stylized Oscar statuette integrated into the letter "A." The background is blurred but appears to show a grand auditorium with golden lighting, evoking the atmosphere of the Academy Awards ceremony.
