BEA is the premiere international academic media organization, driving insights, excellence in media production, and career advancement for educators, students, and professionals. We are the largest partner of the NAB Show, bringing in over 1,250 educators and students, who are looking to learn the latest and greatest in technology, teaching techniques, and research. The association’s publications, web-based programs, and regional district activities provide opportunities for juried production competition and presentation of current scholarly research related to aspects of the electronic media. These areas include media audiences, economics, law and policy, regulation, news, management, aesthetics, social effects, history, and criticism, among others. BEA is concerned with electronic media curricula, placing an emphasis on interactions among the purposes, developments, and practices of the industry and imparting this information to future professionals. BEA serves as a forum for exposition, analysis and debate of issues of social importance to develop members’ awareness and sensitivity to these issues and to their ramifications, which will ultimately help students develop as more thoughtful practitioners.
