NAEB Newsletter (November 1, 1963)

Instructional Broadcasting Book Mailed Copies of the book of proceedings of the NAEB Instructional Broadcasting conference at the University of Illinois last May have been mailed to all paid registrants for the conference. Additional copies are available from the Urbana NAEB office for $2 each. Included are papers on the application of principles of learning to instructional broadcasting, uses and utilization of TV, creative production for instruction, technical sessions, faculty rights and compensation. Photographs Needed! Requests from textbook publishers and others have practically wiped out the photo files of the NAEB. We especially need glossies showing the use of TV in the classroom — preferably showing students (all grade levels are needed) watching the TV set. Good studio shots that are obviously television can be used too. (We do not need close-ups or shots of the stage only, which could be motion picture or stage productions just as well as television.) Please send any photos you are willing to release for general ETV promotional use with an NAEB credit line to the NAEB Publications Office, 55 East Armory, Champaign, Illinois, 61803. * Slides showing instructional TV in operation can be used too — but please send those to Harold Hill, NAEB vice president, at the Washington office.

Employment in Broadcast News Surveyed Gale R. Adkins, director of radio-TV research and associate professor of journalism at the University of Kansas, is con¬ ducting the first nationwide survey of employment in broadcast news, for the Radio Television News Directors Association. Every radio and TV station in the country has been contacted with a request for information. Adkins estimates that the study will take a year to complete. Mary Somerville Dies Mary Somerville, British broadcasting pioneer, died in Bath, England, on September 1 at the age of 65. She had made several trips to the United States, and her world-wide professional and personal friendships included many with NAEB members here. In the late forties, she attended the Institute for Education by Radio in Columbus and visited several educational broadcasting installations in this country. Her professional life centered on the BBC, which she served for thirty years, being successively Educational Assistant, Director of School Broadcasting, Assis¬ tant Controller of Talks, and finally Controller of Talks.
