Eye on the Triangle 11/9: Recap

by John on Nov.13, 2009, under Media, Public Affairs

With the most recent shooting at Fort Hood, Texas and the shooting in Orlando, Florida, this week’s Eye on the Triangle focused on emergency preparedness, with an online exclusive from one woman who was at Virginia Tech during the 2007 shootings. In Hear This, we reviewed some of the Troika Music Festival, and in Community Canvas, we brought you coverage from First Friday.  And we brought you our weekly Wolfpacker of the Week and Soundbytes segments.

NEWS:
As always, our news team duo brought you news from around the Triangle and the nation in our weekly news segment.

Information for the newscast was taken from the following articles:
Wake County temporarily closes H1N1 vaccine clinics
No rest for the weary as rest areas close
All Campus Card to receive update, consolidation
Dow hits 2009 high

Supreme Court won’t stop Muhammad execution
Iran accuses U.S. hikers of espionage
Berlin remembers fall of the wall

N.C. native credited with stopping Fort Hood shooter
Obama presses Senate to pass its health bill

VIP:
When the shootings at Viriginia Tech occurred, everyone was glued to their TV and computer screens, listening  for and reading updates on the statuses of the victims, on the shooter and his motives and on the university’s response. It was a shooting that took place only on that campus, but it hit close to home for many because it could happen to anybody. A similar phenomenon occurred with the most recent shootings at Fort Hood, Texas and Orland, Florida. Though they were not on the same scale, the situation in each incident was similar — something triggered one man to go off on a shooting spree, unexpectedly, injuring and killing numerous people. And though these tragic incidents cannot be predicted, at least on college campuses, set emergency plans and alert systems can save many lives. Eye on the Triangle’s VIP this week focused on emergency preparedness. Promotions Director Kieran Moreira sat down with Association Vice Chancellor for Environmental Health and Public Safety David Rainer to talk about N.C. State’s emergency alert systems, and we’re bringing you an online exclusive interview with Eileen Coombes who was at Viriginia Tech during the 2007 shootings.

Eye on the Triangle: 11/2 Recap

by John on Nov.04, 2009, under Media, Public Affairs

The economic recession is definitely still on people’s minds, especially graduating students. But what about students who wanted to go into a sector that already had a reputation for not providing the best-paying job market out there — the nonprofit sector to be exact? We tried to answer some of those questions for you in our VIP segment. In Hear This, we brought you a special interview about a highly-anticipated music festival that will be host to so many bands, it’s literally impossible to go to hear all of them in the three days of performances. And in our Wolfpacker of the Week, we literally bring you “news from the Brickyard to your backyard,” where  a student explains his group’s attempt at raising money from all different kinds of avenues for a memorial of the beloved late women’s basketball coach Kay Yow.

NEWS:
This week, Evan and I gave listeners the weekly news update. Our news anchor Jack Boyer was out of town (and it was his birthday!) Monday, so he took the night off. But no worries, the news duo will be back in action together again next week.

Information for the newscast was taken from the following articles:
Obama warns Karzai to focus on tackling corruption
U.S. backs Israel on preconditions
The Hague judges adjourn Karadzic trial to review boycott
Majority in N.C. favors public option
N.C. State students engineer electric car to inspire, win

This week’s VIP focused on the nonprofit sector during an economic recession and what students looking to go into that sector after graduation should keep in mind. Jacob spoke to Kelly Beck from 1304 Bikes, a Raleigh-based 501(c)3 to talk about her organization’s activities since the Bike co-op was shut down in June.  And he also spoke to Woody Catoe from the University Career Center about counselors advice to students looking for jobs within nonprofit organizations.

Mike Alston sat down with Kyle Miller, co-owner of Churchkey Records in Durham, to discuss what attendees can expect this year. The music festival was first started in 2002 as a one-day Durham musicians’ festival, put on by the Durham Association for Downtown Arts, Inc, and has since expanded to a three-day music festival for all Triangle musicians.

Eye on the Triangle: 10/26 Recap

by John on Oct.28, 2009, under Media, Public Affairs

Student Media leaders are working on several projects that you don’t want to miss out on, so this week, the Eye on the Triangle team interviewed the leaders spearheading some of these projects to give you a look at what’s ahead.

Jack Boyer and Evan Garris gave listeners the week’s news:

VIP:
In this week’s VIP, we talked to former Agromeck Editor John Cooper Elias (who also leads yearbook workshops) and current Agromeck Editor Bryant Robbins about why yearbook sales are facing a downward trend and what makes yearbooks still important in this information age. Two articles were cited in the interview about national yearbook trends, one from The Economist and one from The New York Times.

To bring the issue back to home, Matt Moore went around campus and asked students if they saw the important of the yearbook, which you can listen to in the segment.

We also discussed briefly the declining trend in all print media publications, the topic of Tuesday’s “Focused” section of Technician, titled “Is print dying?”

Damian Maddalena, who will join the rest of the newly formed radio acting troupe, The Two Cabbage Radio Players, for a performance of “War Of The Worlds.”

From Technician: “Based off of H.G. Wellsnovel, the radio play imagines an alien invasion taking over New York, interrupting a broadcast in the process. Damian Maddelena, graduate student in forestry and environmental resources, first had the idea to produce the show about a year ago. He saw a live broadcast that a Los Angeles traveling troupe performed on campus, and it triggered the idea.” Check out Thursday’s Arts & Entertainment section of Technician for the full story.

Eye on the Triangle: 10/5/09 Recap

by John on Oct.05, 2009, under Media, Public Affairs

Part two of EOT’s football series aired this past Monday, as we gave fans some more football-related content to listen to in VIP. But you don’t have to be a football enthusiast to enjoy any of the show’s segments this week.

VIP
After you got a brief rundown of the latest news from Eye on the Triangle, we kicked the show off with two great, short monologues. I sat down with two N.C. State fans — one is a student who doesn’t particularly enjoy football games but sometimes attends tailgates for the social atmosphere and one is an alumnus who is such a sports devotee, he now is interning at the Wolfpack Club. If you haven’t heard their anecdotes yet, you definitely should:

The EOT team would also like to hear YOUR stories. Do you enjoy N.C. State football games and/or the atmosphere? Why or why not? Do you have a great story about how you became a fan, or maybe a story proving your loyalty to the team and the sport? Send it to us at publicaffairs@wknc.org and we may read it live on the next show!

The second part of our VIP segment last week included football analysis from Derek Medlin, an alumnus who works for Pack Pride Magazine, as well as interviews that both Derek and I conducted at a football practice last week. Derek will also be giving listeners a brief take on Wolfpack sports along with others from EOT’s sports experts panel every show. You can listen to this week’s analysis and interview clips here:

Mike Alston gave a brief history and clip from the Backsliders, which broke up in 1999; Jacob Downey — the Boy Wonder Jinx, which broke up in 1998; and Rachel Sloane — Ladderback, which broke up in 2002.

Eye on the Triangle: 9/28 Recap

by John on Oct.04, 2009, under Media, Public Affairs

I’m no football expert — far from it, actually — but even I recognize that the Wolfpack’s performance this season is something to watch for.

With football coach Tom O’Brien in his third year, expectations surrounding State football are high. With his own talented players coming into form, Wolfpack fans are expecting the continuation of a big season. And with O’Brien’s best start in his N.C. State tenure — 3-2 — things are looking up this season.

But there’s more to N.C. State football games than the actual games — any fan can tell you that. So, the Eye on the Triangle team decided to cover some of the different aspects of football games and changes surrounding games. We had to split this info up in two shows, so this week’s episode was the first in a two-part series.

VIP:
There’s a lot of planning that goes into football games — an event that attracts more than 60,000 people. Athletics works in collaboration with Campus Police, Raleigh Police, Raleigh EMS among other groups to make sure games go as planned. This planning, without a doubt, includes preparations for tailgating — the gameday experience before the game. I interviewed Campus Police Chief Tom Younce and Capt. Jon Barnwell about some of the preparations, which you can listen to here:

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Web Exclusive: Younce and Barnwell also spoke to us about some things fans can do to help Campus Police make sure the gameday atmosphere is safe for everyone. “What happens really reflects on North Carolina State University, so we spend a tremendous amount of time working and planning for football,” Younce said.

Some tips:
– Continue coming into the stands early (Younce: The stands are almost full by kickoff now, which has helped. Last year, the hope was that the stadium would be filled by the end of the first quarter).
– No on field celebrations (Barnwell: “We have zero tolerance with any celebration on the field and it’s important to reiterate the fact with that zero tolerance means physical arrest for those people trying or attempting to come on the field.”)
– Being respectful of each other
(Barnwell: Understanding it is a family-oriented affair, families spend a lot of money to go to games)
– Drinking responsibly (Younce: “And you need to look out for each other.”)

Younce said responsible behavior from fans led to the University’s agreeing to extend tailgating hours from four to five — which brings us to the second half of this segment.

Restrictions to tailgating and hours have been a topic of much debate in recent history due to a shooting that occurred at a tailgate in a lot off Trinity Rd. in 2004. Alumni Tyler Dukes and Kenneth Ball talked to me for EOT’s VIP about how they tailgate and why it’s important to them. Both Dukes and Ball worked for Technician when the shootings happened and tailgating hours were restricted, which they talked about as well:

Eye on the Triangle: 9/21/09

by John on Sep.23, 2009, under Media, Public Affairs

Since President Barack Obama’s election into office, health care reform has been a topic of heated debate among Democrats and Republicans. So this week’s Eye on the Triangle focused on this issue in several of our segments, giving both the Democratic and Republican perspective, as well as opinions from around the University and opinions from locals. If you missed the show, you can listen to the clips below, and you can also get more information on our interviewees and topics here. And if you are tired of hearing about the health care debate (though our segments are unique and a must-hear!), be sure to at least check out our Wolfpacker of the Week segment.

VIP:
Thanks to some of our friends’ connections in the political scene, Eye on the Triangle’s Adam Compton and Saja Hindi spoke to U.S. Congressman David Price (D), serving N.C. district 4, and the spokesman for the North Carolina Republican Party Jordan Shaw by phone about each of the party’s stances on the proposed health care reforms.

N.C. GOP Chairman Tom Fetzer was scheduled to do an interview but canceled at the last minute due to a pending knee surgery.

You can watch a N.C. GOP video here on criticisms of the proposed reforms. You can also read a response from the N.C. Democratic Party on the president’s health insurance reform speech here.

Associate Professor of Public and International Affairs Steven Greene also gave his Eye on the Triangle his own analysis of the health care debate, a topic he has been discussing in his classes this semester. You can listen to the full segment from the show here:

We also replayed Soundbytes from Sept. 7’s EOT about students’ opinions on health care reform, which you can access here.


COMMUNITY CANVAS
EOT’s Kelly Reid talked to local musician and licensed insurance holder Alex Maiolo about his role in leading HINT, Health Insurance Navigational Tool, which is part of the Future of Music Coalition, where according to Maiolo, “policy and law and music all sort of intersect — that’s where we are. Things that happen on Capitol Hill that affect musicians, that’s what we’re interested in.” Maiolo said his focus is on the health care crisis in the musicians’ community. To hear more about HINT, listen to what Maiolo told EOT:

HEAR THIS
This segment was not free of a health care reform spin either. EOT’s Jacob Downey interviewed Mike McDonald, organizer of the Tom Cushman benefit concert scheduled for Sept. 27, from 3 p.m. to about 2 a.m. at White Collar Crime . Cushman, a local musician and veteran of the first Gulf War, was hospitalized for pneumonia a few months ago,  two weeks later hospitalized again due to lung failure and was admitted once again to the hospital last week. Eleven bands will be playing at the benefit concert to raise money for Cushman, who doesn’t have health insurance, to pay his bills. Read the Indy’s article for more.

The song clips played in between segments of the show all came from songs from bands playing at the concert.
