“One by One” returns with more dispatches from the shutdown

Posted

Watch a new installment of TUTV’s new student-produced program, One by One: Life During COVID-19. In this series of shorts, Temple students create vlogs to document their time as they self-isolate for the remainder of the semester.

This week, students took the opportunity to use Zoom to interview someone close to them about their personal experiences so far during the coronavirus pandemic. The interviewees range from teens to middle aged, and share their varied reactions to the shutdown and how it has affected their lives in individual ways.  Some of those featured are students who are adjusting to learning online, while others are educators who are discovering the best ways of educating remotely. Some have lost their jobs or are living with parents who have lost their jobs; one interviewee shares her experience of living with someone who has tested positive for the virus; a Communication Professor gives his advice on how to cope with the pandemic; and yet others discuss how they are keeping busy learning new skills or indulging in hobbies. Watch all 16 vlogs below:

Baker Dave Presents... Slow Roasted Pulled Pork

Tune in to watch the series finale of Baker Dave Presents…, which ceased filming new episodes last fall due to the departure of host Dave Okapal, who moved on from his long-held Temple position.

On his final show, Baker Dave is joined by Robert Velez, the IT Director at Klein College, who brings a recipe for a dish he thinks anyone can easily master: slow roasted pulled pork. This dish is a perfect quarantine project due to its long cooking time and large yield. Robert gives viewers in-depth tips and detailed step-by-step instructions for the entire process of preparing the dish. Meanwhile, Robert also shares stories illustrating how the University has changed since he first started at Temple almost 20 years ago and what he loves about his job.

Brand Matters examines Pride Month advertising

Posted

Brand Matters: Pride Marketing

Brand Matters host Steve McLean, an Adjunct Instructor of Advertising at Klein College, looks ahead to the month of June with Stephen Facenda of Viamark Advertising, and John Duffin from Duffin Media. Together they discuss how brands are using Pride Month, celebrated during June to commemorate the Stonewall Riots of 1969.

But has Pride month become another selling season on the corporate calendar? Is it a cynical cash grab or an attempt to show solidarity with a historically oppressed group of people? Are brands only embracing rainbow advertising now that it has become ‘safe’ to support LGTBQ+ causes? McLean shows some examples of ads that show a deeper commitment to the cause than those that merely adopt a rainbow-colored logo for the month of June.

Tune in this Tuesday, March 10 at 11:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. to hear the full discussion.
