Making Television History More Accessible: Exploring New Research Tools in the Vanderbilt Television News Archive

This workshop will demonstrate how journalism scholars can engage with the newly upgraded Vanderbilt Television News Archive for efficient research of over 1 million TV news stories from U.S. broadcasters dating back to 1968. New features improve search capabilities of story-level titles and abstracts and full broadcast transcripts and enable easy check-out of individual stories for virtual viewing. The team will also present new data services that make complex computational analysis of the collection possible. Moderator: Kristy Roschke, Vanderbilt University Panelists: Kristy Roschke, Vanderbilt Giselle Hengst, Vanderbilt University Namrah Khan, Vanderbilt University
