#51 Demystifying Media Guest Lecture: Bonus Q&A Episode with Hamed Aleaziz

Author: UO School of Journalism and Communication, Damian Radcliffe January 7, 2023 Duration: 25:20
This is a special bonus episode featuring Q&A content from Hamed Aleaziz's lecture given at the University of Oregon in October 2022. In October 2022, Los Angeles Times immigration policy reporter Hamed Aleaziz spoke to an audience of journalism students at the University of Oregon about his career covering immigration, race, and civil rights, and the effects that policies made in Washington can have on families and communities. He also recalled his own journey as a journalist, from having his family's story covered by The Oregonian to establishing his career after graduating into the 2008 financial crisis.

Trying to make sense of the relentless shifts in our media landscape can feel overwhelming. Demystifying Media at the University of Oregon exists to pull back the curtain on that process, offering a grounded space for understanding. Stemming from the Hearst Demystifying Media Series within the UO School of Journalism and Communication, this podcast is hosted by professor Damian Radcliffe, who guides conversations that feel more like insightful seminars than formal interviews. You’ll hear directly from leading media practitioners, innovators, and scholars who are shaping the field right now. Episodes dig into the practical realities of digital developments in journalism and communication, exploring their implications for business, entrepreneurship, and the broader technological tools that redefine how stories are told and consumed. Rather than offering abstract theory, the discussions focus on tangible changes and future possibilities, making complex ideas accessible. It’s a resource for anyone curious about the forces transforming our information ecosystem, from students and educators to professionals navigating these changes daily. Tune in for a thoughtful analysis of the evolving relationships between creators, audiences, and the platforms that connect them.
