WelcOme message fRom tHe Conference coordinATors

After many months of non-stop planning and work, we are so happy to present NASH 74Archipelago to you, our delegates. We hope that you will learn as much from this conference as we have putting it together. NASH is a once-a-year opportunity to network with your fellow student journalists and develop your skills via some of the best in Canadian media. Our registration is huge this year and we have assembled an amazing team of presenters, so we encourage you to give NASH your very best (and if that means skipping some sleep, so be it). With almost 80 different presentations (including speeches, workshops and roundtables), critiques, nighttime parties, meals and a swanky awards ceremony all wrapped into one, its a lot to cram into five days. No worries though, we are confident that all of you CUP delegates are up to the challenge. After all, this is Canadian University Press; what better time in our lives to prove to ourselves and each other that we have the perseverance and dedication to constantly learn and be inspired. For those who havent been to Victoria before, welcome. It really is one of the most beautiful places in Canada. One of the most unique things about Victoria (and most of B.C.) is that it sits on unceded Aboriginal Peoples land. We acknowledge this reality by recognizing that our conference is being held on the traditional lands of the Coast Salish. Respect the land and respect each other. Lets make this the best NASH ever. Jason Schreurs and Kristi Sipes Conference coordinators, Canadian University Press

Faisons de cette semaine la meilleure NASH de lhistoire. Jason Schreurs et Kristi Sipes Coordinateurs de la confrence, Presse universitaire canadienne

WelcOme message fRom the PrEsident

Media is changing at an exponential rate. As it continues to evolve, our lives and future careers as journalists are evolving simultaneously. We must keep up or be left behind. Obviously, weve heard it all before. We know that social media and the web are practically buzzwords nowthe platforms of our generation. We understand that there is no longer a definite daily or weekly news schedule; that reporters work (and readers read) when the news occurs, during any of the days 24 hours. At student publications, we have the freedom to explore new frontiers (as clich as it may sound), without much restriction. We should be expanding on innovative ideas and fulfilling journalists innate wanderlust, rather than struggling with the most basic of problems: finding a place in our communities and structuring our limited resources. CUP 74 is seeing papers, large and small, in a period of transition and uncertainty. What we hope to accomplish at NASH 74 is to give some of that certainty back. We may be on our own islands, separated geographically, but we can come together as one to overcome these problems, hence the conference theme, Archipelago. Talk to one another, learn from experts, and lets move forward together. James Michael McDonald President, Canadian University Press

Les mdias changent un rythme toujours croissant. Ils continuent voluer et amnent nos vies et nos carrires voluer elles aussi. Nous ne devons pas louper le coche. videmment, vous avez dj entendu ce discours. Nous savons que les medias sociaux et le web (des mots trs la mode) sont les plateformes de notre gnration. Nous avons compris que les nouvelles ne se conforment plus un cadre journalier ou hebdomadaire, que les journalistes travaillent et que les lecteurs lisent au moment o lvnement se droule, nimporte quelle heure du jour ou de la nuit. Au sein de nos journaux universitaires, nous avons la libert dexplorer de nouveaux territoires sans vraiment rencontrer dobstacles. Nous devons favoriser linnovation et satisfaire notre soif daventure et de connaissances plutt que de nous emptrer dans les problmes de base : trouver une place dans nos communauts et grer nos ressources limites. En cette 74me anne de la PUC, petits et grands journaux traversent une priode de transition et dincertitude. Nous esprons que la NASH 74 effacera une partie de cette incertitude. Nous sommes tous sur nos lots, spars gographiquement, mais nous pouvons nous rassembler, ne faire quun pour rsoudre ces difficults, do le thme de notre confrence, Archipelago. Discutez entre vous, apprenez auprs des experts, et nous irons de lavant tous ensemble. James Michael McDonald Prsident, Presse universitaire canadienne

West Harbour Ballroom / Salle de bal West Harbour Keynote speech: The ongoing history of new music journalism Alan Cross Theres no question that the internet has been incredibly empowering and a force for good in the world. In many ways, citizen journalists have expanded the conversation on everything from cats playing pianos to the evil meted out by authoritarian regimes. But does this mean the end of professional journalism? Absolutely not. There will always be a need for organizations that can fund investigative stories and to lend legitimacy when looking for access to sources and interview subjects. But even big-name media organizations take advantage of young writers by not paying them, distributing their work without permission, and demanding quantity over quality. This is especially true in the area of music journalism. As someone who has interview thousands of artists, written millions of words on music and has thousands of on-air hours as a broadcaster, Alan will look at the state of music journalism and where its headed. Oh, and hell tell some cool stories, too. Alan Cross is an internationally known broadcaster, writer, blogger and speaker. In his 30 years in the music business, Alan has interviewed the biggest names in rock, from David Bowie and U2 to Pearl Jam and the Foo Fighters. Since 1993, hes been the host of the radio documentary series The Ongoing History of New Music, which is heard across Canada and the U.S. Hes also written four reference books on alt-rock, recorded four audio books (all top-sellers on iTunes), written liner notes for dozens of CDs and contributed to magazines and other publications in Canada and the U.S. Hes also a sought-after college and university lecturer, writes a weekly national music column for Metro, and travels to music festivals all over the world. Alan has been deeply involved exploring the present and future relationships between music, technology and social networking.

East Harbour Ballroom, Salon A Fair, accurate advocacy journalism Robin Perelle Contrary to what might be popular belief, advocacy journalism doesnt have to be weak journalism. We can inform, and most importantly inspire, our readers without compromising our journalistic integrity, or resorting to blatant editorial-ization in our news coverage. Robin will focus on how to tell stories not otherwise told, how to capture voices not otherwise heard, how to scrutinize and hold accountable the world around us fairly and accurately to give our readers the tools they deserve to form their own opinions and, hopefully, to engage. Robin Perelle is the managing editor of Xtra, Vancouvers gay and lesbian newspaper. She traces her advocacy back to her Grade 4 refusal to wear the school uniform, and her journalism back to those early days spent editing the junior high yearbook. Those paths and passions merged when she joined the McGill Daily in 1994 and theyve remained entwined ever since, though her understanding of what makes strong advocacy journalism has shifted over time.

Saanich Room, second floor Google Fusion Tables: A map is worth a thousand words Lucas Timmons Data is now playing a larger role in reporting and digital storytelling. One of the great free tools to use data in your reporting is Google Fusion Tables. This session will explain what Google Fusion Tables is, what it can do and will take you through the steps to create an interactive database-driven map that you can embed on your website. Please bring a laptop with Microsoft Excel to this session. Lucas Timmons is a data journalist with the Edmonton Journal. He was named as one of three inaugural MJ Bear fellows by the Online News Association as one of the worlds top digital journalists under 30. Before Edmonton, he worked for the Ottawa Citizen and CBC Ottawa. In CUP, he was the editor-in-chief of the Athenaeum at Acadia University and the first ever Cupcast coordinator.

East Harbour Ballroom, Salon B Writing business: dangerous or deathly dull? David Lennam Ever notice how dull most business copy is? Maybe not, because unless you have your life savings invested in a bank that might topple over, or youre hinging your future on the notion that the bauxite markets might turn into an ornery bull, youre probably giving the business pages no more than a quick once-over. Why has business copy, in newspapers and magazines, become so dull and predictable? Or has it? Would you even know? Business writing has a stale flavouror at least thats what were led to believe. Yet, its one of the last remaining bastions of investigative journalism that exists in the mainstream. How can we get readers to take notice? Or writers, for that matter? The answer lies in getting a little dangerous. David Lennam is a Victoria-based writer and broadcaster, regularly appearing on CBC Radio and in the pages of both Douglas, Victorias business magazine, and its sister publication YAM. David also produces and hosts Shaw TVs weekly arts and entertainment show The Seen, and teaches a class in journalism. A previous career in newspapers was fruitful, as was inventive, award-winning work in talk radio and with televisions irreverent Art Attack. A Calgarian who fled the prairies long ago, David has been based on the West Coast, off and on, since the late 80s.

East Harbour Ballroom, Salon A Making internets for fun and profit: Why you should become a digital journalist Lucas Timmons Lucas Timmons will show you how to find a great, high paying and fun job at a daily paper just by learning how to make internets. This session will be part inspiration and part discussion about how you can get started, where to find jobs and what skills you will need to learn. Lucas Timmons is a data journalist with the Edmonton Journal. He was named as one of three inaugural MJ Bear fellows by the Online News Association as one of the worlds top digital journalists under 30. Before Edmonton, he worked for the Ottawa Citizen and CBC Ottawa. In CUP, he was the editor-in-chief of the Athenaeum at Acadia University and the first ever Cupcast coordinator.

Saanich Room, second floor Panel: Waiter, theres a fly in my soup Gareth Gaudin, Ken Steacy, Joan Steacy Comic artists are special, funny, and often wonderfully odd people. They make us laugh and they bring levity and an artistic flair to newspapers and magazines. In fact, some editors (and were sure most comic artists) would argue that comics are one of the most important parts of any publication. Join three established comic artists in an informal group discussion about how to make your comics the best they can be. (A second, hour-long session takes places immediately following this one, from 12:151:15 pm, featuring one-on-one comic critiques, so feel free to bring samples of your work.) Gareth Gaudin is a Victoria-based cartoonist, comic book shop co-owner and life-long comic art aficionado who committed himself to the project of drawing a page a day for the rest of his life of his on-going, serialized surreal autobiography. Eight years so far without missing a day.

Ken Steacy decided at age 11 to become a professional comic book writer/artist, a dream he realized in 1974. Since then, he has worked in the industry as author, artist, art director, editor and publisher, chronicling the exploits of Spider-Man, Harry Potter, and the Star Wars gang, to name but a few. In addition to creating his own intellectual property, he has also collaborated with other writers, including Harlan Ellison, Isaac Asimov and Douglas Coupland. The recipient of an Eisner and an Inkpot award, Ken was inducted into the Joe Shuster Awards Hall of Fame in 2009, a lifetime achievement award honouring Canadian comic book creators for their contributions to the industry.

Joan Thornborrow Steacy grew up in southern Ontario, and is a graduate of Sheridan College, the Ontario College of Art & Design and the University of Victoria. She is a visual artist who has worked in a variety of disciplines, including sculpture, traditional illustration and digital imaging. She is the author/illustrator of So, Thats That!, a biography of her father, and Aurora Borealice, the first in a series of autobio/graphic novels, which had its debut at the Toronto Comic Art Festival in 2011. She has taught visual art in Victoria and Toronto, and is currently working on her second graphic novel.

East Harbour Ballroom, Salon B Dissension media Jeremiah Vandermeer Student media makes an overt attempt to push the boundaries and also act as a dissenting voice in the face of corporate influence on campus and a conservative provincial government obsessed with cutbacks to education. Dissenting voices in the press play a vital role of disbursing free information in a representative democracy. Join Jeremiah as he recounts stories of success in challenging authority and questioning the status quo. Jeremiah Vandermeer started as a photo editor for a Canwest newspaper and quickly realized the alternative media was our only hope. A former managing editor of Vancouver Island Universitys the Navigator, hes written for various independent publications and managed the once-popular alternative news aggregator TheFilter.ca. Hes now the editor of Cannabis Culture Magazine in Vancouver, where he spends his days reporting from the frontlines of the drug war and smoking the worlds greatest marijuana.

East Harbour Ballroom, Salon A Publishing with the Prince of Pot Jodie Emery Jodie Emery shares her unique experiences working for Cannabis Culture magazine alongside her husband, the Prince of Pot Marc Emery, before he was imprisoned in the United States for selling marijuana seeds and financing activism worldwide.

In early 2005, Jodie became assistant editor of Cannabis Culture Magazine when Marc decided to take over as editor, and they were married in July 2006. Jodie has run for office with the B.C. Marijuana Party in the 2005 election and 2008 by-election, and the B.C. Green Party in 2009.

West Harbour Ballroom / Salle de bal West Harbour Keynote speech: Roll up your sleeves and take back your journalism Anna Maria Tremonti Many people will tell you this is a terrible time to try to be a journalist. They argue there are fewer jobs, the business model isnt working, and much of journalism has moved into the realm of infotainment. Theyre right about those points. And thats why it is precisely the right time to be a journalist. We need new journalists with new ideas, willing to get serious, seek accountability and be determined to bring the stories that matter to the attention of the public. Dont despair and dont buy into the idea that journalism is dead. Roll up your sleeves, and take back the kind of journalism that has inspired you to get this far. Anna Maria Tremonti has been the host of The Current, on CBC Radio One since its creation in the autumn of 2002. With a reach of 2.5 million listeners a week, it is the most listened-to radio program in the country. Prior to that, she spent almost two decades as a television correspondent, mostly for The National and the investigative program the fifth estate. Tremonti was a foreign correspondent through the 1990s, based in Berlin, London, Jerusalem and then Washington, covering several wars and conflicts, as well as the collapse of the Soviet Union. She was a political reporter on Parliament Hill for almost five years, and has been a radio and television reporter in Alberta and the Maritimes.

East Harbour Ballroom, Salon A Numbers and the news Kelly Toughill Learn how to turn raw numbers into great stories, and how to avoid embarrassing mistakes, during the interactive workshop. Polls, budgets, census data and scientific research are fodder for many stories, but they can send even veteran reporters into a numerical shame spiral. Come learn a few basic techniques that will give you confidence in finding, testing and reporting stories based on numbers. Kelly Toughill is director of the School of Journalism at the University of Kings College. Toughill spent 20 years as a writer and editor at the Toronto Star, where she was deputy executive editor until 2006. Toughill is the recipient of a National Newspaper Award for feature writing. She has a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from San Francisco State University and an MBA from Queens University. She recently launched two new graduate degrees at Kings: the MJ in Investigative Reporting and the MJ in New Ventures. She writes about the business of journalism for several publications.

Saanich Room, second floor Writing about sex: the how-to guide for giving your stories the jollies Danielle Pope We all love it, but how do we tackle that ever-so-taboo subject of sex without blushing, latching onto old stigmas, or turning a story into a sensational spectacle? Sex may be the tool for grabbing our attention, but with the right partner it can be harnessed to carry even stronger messages than we expect. This workshop will deal with how to broach sensitive topics, how to get complete strangers to divulge some of their most intimate details, how to work on recognizing the personal hang-ups we bring to a story, how to come up with sexy alternatives to the old topic and how to add that salacious edge to your own writing without tipping (all the way) over the inappropriate scale. Danielle Pope is the News Editor at Monday Magazine, Victorias news and entertainment alt weekly, and finds herself constantly digging up new ways to report on one of our favourite all-time subjects: sex. Danielle has profiled a local escort, interviewed a gore-lesque performer, reported on transgendered issues, and tackled stigmas around kink and the trauma of sexual assault in her work at Monday. The job isnt always easy, but its always interesting. Danielle was editor-in-chief of the Martlet, UVics student newspaper, from 20082010, and was CUP Western Bureau Chief from 20102011. When shes not furiously writing stories (which you can see at mondaymag.com or on daniellepope.com), she can be found trolling the internet for sexy facts, thinking up ways to save the world or singing in her basement parkade.

East Harbour Ballroom, Salon B Panel discussion: The media in international affairs Michael Olender, Janni Aragon, Moussa Magassa The media influence domestic and foreign policy when public opinion responds to what is printed, televised and published and broadcasted online. It is obvious that the media help to frame and shape public opinion in any country; what is more interesting is how. This panel considers how traditional media tempers official responses to international crises and how new communications technologies and social media are affecting political, economic and social issues around the world. Panelists offer historical perspective, review new data and trends and debate contemporary questions about the role of the media in international affairs. The panel will also outline how student journalists can take advantage of internship and employment opportunities offered by governments, international organizations and more. Michael Olender is a masters candidate at the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs, Carleton University, in Ottawa. After four years at the University of Ottawas the Fulcrum, the CUP alumnus moved on to work in federal government, embassy, central bank and independent think tank settings.

East Harbour Ballroom, Salon B Make em laugh, make em cry - Jack Knox The best thing about opinion writing, as opposed to straight-ahead news reporting, is that you get to use all the tools in your journalistic toolbox. The hard part is learning how to swing the hammer without hitting your thumb. Theres more to commentary to editorials and columns than ranting and preaching, or, conversely, than shoving a dust-dry meal of facts and figures down the throats of the defenceless readers. This session will focus on writing persuasively, on how to combine basic reporting skills with satire and other techniques to cook a feast they actually want to swallow. That, and well talk about some good old-fashioned goofball humour writing. Jack Knox is an award-losing columnist with Times Colonist. Since joining the newspaper in 1988, Jack has worked as a copy editor, city editor, editorial writer and editorial page editor. He has debated policy with the prime minister, sat down with a succession of premiers, and interviewed a murderer in his cell. He liked the murderer. Career highlights include being blasted with blowhole spray by Luna the whale (it tasted like fish), interviewing a porn movie star in the nude (her, not him) and getting a phone call from Barack Obama four days before he (Obama, not Jack) was elected president.

East Harbour Ballroom, Salon B Good news: a new model for journalism David Godsall Good news is not an easy thing to make. It can be an easy thing to make up, but its not an easy thing to make. A decade of experiments in what was once called citizen journalism have demonstrated two things: people want to participate in the creation of the media they consume and the job that professional journalists do cannot be supplanted by that participation if we value quality reporting as a society. And we domore of it is being produced every day than ever before, and more of it is being consumed every day than every before. OpenFile is one example of the many new, innovative journalistic enterprises that embrace the participation of a community of readers, viewers, or listeners while resting on a foundation laid by reporters. David Godsall is a Vancouver-based writer, a lifelong wordie, and editor of OpenFile Vancouver. He fell in love with west coast life and Vancouvers media culture as an undergrad at UBC and, after graduating, started his career in publishing at Vancouver Magazine. During a brief eastern interlude in Montreal pursuing a masters in communications and media theory at Concordia, he wrote a thesis on the use of social media among student Barack Obama supporters in the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign.

Saanich Room, second floor Panel discussion: Niche arts writing Mike Devlin, Greg Pratt, Adem Tepedelen (moderated by CUP arts bureau chief Clinton Hallahan) Weve assembled a veritable dream team of Victoria arts writers to discuss how they made a name for themselves writing about niche topics such as community artists, brewpubs and obscure sub-genres of music. Mike, Greg and Adem will explain how arts writing is about knowing certain things really well by having your niches of expertise, and always, always finding common ground with your sources. Sometimes that involves reminiscing about listening to thrash metal when they were growing up, but not always. Mike Devlin has been a member of Times Colonist arts and entertainment section since 1997. Shortly after being hired as a columnist, he graduated from Camosun Colleges Applied Communication Program, where he specialized in broadcasting. Mike spent three years in commercial radio, before working full-time for Times Colonist. His writing has appeared in the National Post, Montreal Gazette, Ottawa Citizen, Calgary Herald, Edmonton Journal, Vancouver Sun and Vancouver Province. He has served on numerous arts boards and music juries, including the Juno Awards and Polaris Music Prize, and teaches arts and entertainment writing at the Western Academy of Photojournalism.

Greg Pratt, Nexus editor-in-chief, has been a freelance writer for over 10 years, covering everything from obscure Norwegian heavy metal to the middle-American farm industry. He writes for Revolver, Exclaim!, Brave Words and Bloody Knuckles, Snowboard Canada, Urban Male and other magazines. He also writes for bridges.com, a website geared towards youth, and has contributed to on-flight magazines, university alumni magazines, and business newspapers. An article he wrote about Donnie Wahlberg for Monday Magazine was anthologized in the Best Music Writing 2010 book and he once semi-jokingly told Metallicas James Hetfield to not sue him over copyright infringement.

Adem Tepedelen is a Victoria-based freelance writer. Though he started his journalism career writing about musichis work has appeared in Mojo, Revolver, Decibel and on RollingStone.com, among othershis developing passion for good food and drink inevitably led him to contribute features to All About Beer, Imbibe, Wine X, Northwest Palate and other magazines. He has co-authored the book Island Wineries of British Columbia (Touchwood Editions 2011) and in 2008 he received the coveted Michael Jackson Beer Journalism Award.

Victoria Room, second floor Panel discussion: From journalism to communications Amanda McCuaig, Debby Reis, Lien Yeung Three former student press editors discuss how they turned their experience in student journalism into successful careers in communications. As a student journalist, you have a leg up on other graduates: you have experience. You know how to write, you know how to talk to people, and you know how to organize. Learn how you can best use your time at your student paper to be successful in communications. Amanda McCuaig was the CUP 70 president, and CUP 69 JHM Coordinator. She now works as the Marketing Officer of the award-winning contemporary museum, the Museum of Vancouver. Shes appeared on PerezHilton welcoming Tom Cruise to Science World (her last place of employment). She currently sits on the board of directors for Megaphone Magazine. She owes it all to the Peak at Simon Fraser University, where she was primarily the production editor, but also photo, sports and news editor. Her nickname was Mama-Peak.

Debby Reis is the Communications Coordinator for Vancouvers Fringe Festival, B.C.s largest theatre festival and North Americas most international Fringe Fest. She was a production manager for Discorder for two years, and is also on the editorial board for Geist Magazine. She is a former Peak features and opinion editor.

When shes not at work, you can find her working away in the community as the VP of the SFU Alumni Association and as a director of the Canadian Women in Communications in B.C. She is a former Peak associate news editor, where everyone called her Peak Princess.

East Harbour Ballroom, Salon B Investigative journalism after the fall of print Richard Mostyn Its hard, some might say impossible, to lay out the reasons behind a financial collapse, controversial murder, or complicated theft of public resources in 140 characters or less. Some stories demand investigation, and that takes money and time. Of course, those things are often in short supply these days. They shouldnt be. Ex-Yukon News editor Richard Mostyn talks about the importance of context, research, and keeping the bastards honest in the era of 24-hour news, Twitter, and Facebook feeds. Richard Mostyn is a Yukon-based editor and journalist, where hes been for more than two decades. Thats allowed him to cover... well, just about everything. Hes chased caribou across the tundra, eaten endangered boar in earthquake-shattered Taiwan (it was delicious), and exposed a sitting premier as a former heroin dealer. These days, hes focusing on guiding young writers about the craft, teaching them how to write compelling stories, or how to find one nobody else has told yet. Under his guidance, the Yukon News won many international, national and regional writing awards. He lives in Whitehorse with his wife, sons and two naughty spaniels.

East Harbour Ballroom, Salon A Media and sexualized violence through a social justice lens Annie Banks In writing about sexualized violence, members of the media have a huge stake in the ways in which the general public views violence. What kinds of myths are perpetuated through the media? What kinds of discourses are promoted in mainstream media? How has and does the media contribute to or bring awareness to systemic oppression and violence? How can media act as ally in bringing awareness to under-reported or unreported violence? In this workshop, members of the Anti-Violence Project along with a guest will speak to the medias role in changing perceptions about violenceand in questioning how violence is currently portrayed and who is deemed worthy of receiving media attentionand who is not. Annie Banks is one of the current coordinators at the Anti-Violence Project, a sexual assault centre at the University of Victoria, where shes also a student. She identifies as a white-settler, queer, able-bodied woman and was born on Shawnee territories and is now currently living on unceded Lekwungen, Wyomilth (Esquimalt), and WSANEC homelands. Annie is committed to unlearning her own internalized oppressive thoughts/behaviours and to ask what it means to do anti-violence work in the context of colonization and systemic oppression. Annie strives to connect and work with people in liberating ways and believes in community accountability, challenging violence in all of its forms, and transformation.

West Harbour Ballroom / Salle de bal West Harbour Keynote speech: How to become a successful journalistwithout also having to be broke, sad, lonely, bitter, or a small-hearted creep (and without getting into too many fights on Twitter) Chris Jones You will have been told that youre entering a dying business. Storytelling isnt dying, but it is changing shape. And its harder to tell stories than ever before. You wont just fall into your career; you wont have doors just magically open for you. Youll need to do a lot of things right to get where you want to go. Youll have to think and plan and do good work. But the writers life is still out there, and its a great life. Heres how you might live it. Chris Jones is a Writer at Large for Esquire magazine and the back-page columnist for ESPN: The Magazine. He is a two-time winner of the National Magazine Award, and his work has appeared in the Best American Magazine Writing, Sports Writing, Political Writing, and Non-Required Reading anthologies. Hes also written two books that not many people read and arent really worth mentioning. He lives with his wife and two sons in Port Hope, Ontario, where he gets into too many fights on Twitter.
