Teaching
Dr2 teaches Internet communication, online journalism and multimedia production courses in the Journalism Program at USI. The journalism program currently offers 4 new media / journalism courses and uses a convergence model to teach traditional reporting, writing, and editing skills. Dr2's course "Digital Storytelling" builds on another strength of the journalism program, which is in a creative narrative approach to news writing.
Research
He is currently co-authoring a book with John L. Marambio on Hollywood's portrayals of Latinos since Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke to the present. Marambio and Tew offer insights into how mass communication has influenced the current debates about national identity, official language, border defense, global economics, and immigration policy. Status: [Forthcoming]. Their work has previously appeared in Studies in Latin American Popular Culture and The Journal of American Culture.
Sandra Borden and Chad Tew published an article on the question, Who is a journalist? Are Jon Stewart of The Daily Show or Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report journalists? Read Borden and Tew's article in the Journal of Mass Media Ethicsto find out more. Their article speaks to how performances of journalism influences our percetions of definition.
Service
As both a faculty senator and an advisor, Dr2 has worked on civil liberties, human rights and social justice issues. In fall 2007, he proposed changes to the University's "Outside Speaker's Policy Statement." The SPJ then invited a cancelled speaker to challenge the old policy. University lawyers soon revised the policy, which had been out-of-date legally for almost 40 years. In spring 2008, Dr2 championed domestic partner benefits and called on the faculty senate to adopt a resolution that would opppose the drive in the Indiana legislature to establish a Constitutional Amendment that would define marriage as between "a man and a woman." Tew continues to be an advocate of these issues in the University workplace.
