Boulder Police: Update on graffiti suspect
May 13th
A teenaged boy turned himself in to a school official this afternoon after his friends notified him that his photo was being broadcast by the news media. Earlier today, the Boulder Police Department sent out a news release asking the public for help in identifying the young man, who is suspected of vandalizing a condominium complex in the 1300 block of Rosewood Avenue. No further information will be provided about the suspect.
The Boulder Police Department would like to thank the media and the public for assisting us in this case.
CU-BOULDER STUDENT NATHAN ROBERSON CHOSEN FOR PBS’S STUDENT FREEDOM RIDE
Apr 7th
The ride will present an experiential learning opportunity for the participating college students in conjunction with the broadcast of “Freedom Riders” and the 50th anniversary of the original May 1961 Freedom Rides.
Roberson (pronounced RAH-ber-son) is an international affairs major with interests in ethics and voter enfranchisement.
The 40 Student Freedom Riders were chosen from nearly 1,000 applicants and represent a diverse cross-section of America. Participating students hail from 33 states and the District of Columbia, along with others who grew up in China, Tajikistan and Haiti.
Students from a broad range of schools are represented — from state universities to community and junior colleges, from religiously affiliated schools to the Ivy League. Students were selected on the basis of their essays on their reasons for wanting to participate, their thoughts on the role of social media and technology in civic engagement today, and their extracurricular activities.
Over a 10-day journey from May 6 through May 16, the ride will be a moving classroom in which the students will retrace the route of the original Freedom Rides. Accompanied by filmmaker Stanley Nelson, original Freedom Riders and others, the ride will engage students in this important era in our country’s history, as they learn about the extraordinary commitment and courage of the individuals who took part in the Freedom Rides.
Roberson will miss his May 6 commencement ceremony to participate in the PBS event.
“At ‘American Experience,’ we think history is fascinating, but more importantly, we know it informs almost every social and political decision made today,” said “American Experience’’ executive producer Mark Samels. “We saw that in Egypt, where protesters looked to the American civil rights movement for instruction and inspiration.
“Fifty years after the original Freedom Rides, young people all over the world are once again having their voices heard. They’re using new and very different tools to do that, but drawing on lessons from history to inform how they use those tools. It’s those lessons from 1961 and how they are informing civic engagement today that we look forward to exploring on this ride.”
“Freedom Riders” will be broadcast on PBS on Monday, May 16, at 9 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.
A website, twitter stream and Facebook page will be chronicling the riders experiences, as well as cataloging in-depth information about the original Freedom Riders.
22 Boom and Jann Scott now M-F 9p,7a, midnite
Mar 26th
The difference with Scott and 22 Boom is that it is all locally produced. In fact Jann Scott has been producing regular local television for Boulder virtually every since 1989 sometimes in the face often tremendous opposition from local government who often sought to censor Scotts programs or prohibit them altogether. His struggles to remain on the air are legendary around Boulder and in broadcast circles around the state. He’s Boulders very own Jack Parr. Legend has it he drove several station managers, a mayor and several city council members out of Boulder. Those who have ever battled Scott will attest as one former Colorado Daily editor stated:” I’d sooner fight a Hitler SS amoured division than cross Jann Scott”
At channel 22 , a director said ” I know he has a reputation for being a fighter, but maybe that is a good thing. We’ve never seen anything but professionalism and quality programs out of him”
But 22 Boom seems more tamed down than the old Jann Scott Live show on CATV 54 where Scott pulled wild antics to the howling regal of college kids and shock and horror to old folks. One things for sure 22Boom made a Nielsen trend this week with calls coming in again from the likes of J Walter Thompson. Congrats to the whole crew at 22Boom. They deserve it.
The new 22 Boom show has evolved into a price bit cultural phenom. This week 22Boom feature a 30 minute educational program on ” Rick Rolling” which is just hysterical. It comes out on April 1.
22Boom features Scott as host, a Jann Scott Live segment, a tech news segment delivered by a hip young female actor who spoofs the news, a science segment, Movie reviews, a music video. Quite a bit actually. Boulder Valley School district couldn’t be happier with Scott’s 22Boom. In three years they have only sung praises about the shows quality, relativeness and appeal to young people and old alike. Quite a switch from when the city had their paws in every decision.
