JCMS has announced the release of the newest Teaching Media dossier: "Copyright Under COVID-19 in Film and Media Studies." In the introduction of the current Spring 2021 issue, both professors and editors Kirsten Moana Thompson and Brendan Kredell hope to educate others on the update of teaching film and media in the classroom.
As stated there have been problems with the "2008 SCMS Statement of Best Practices for Fair Use in Teaching for Film and Media Educators." Now, with the release of the newest guidelines due to the COVID19 pandemic, it has changed the way students learn in the classroom as teachers were forced to adjust their learning practices to online instruction and hybrid teaching. With the hopes of the vaccine reaching everyone, hopefully, we will soon experience a sense of normal conditions since the shutdown.
