Gerald O'Grady: The Perspective from Buffalo Bibliography

Gerald O'Grady, holder of two Ph.D.s in medieval literature and a teacher of literature and communications, directs SUNY/Buffalo's Educational Communications Center, founded the Center for Media Study and established Media Study/Buffalo. From Buffalo he organized workshops, screenings, distribution and funding services, internships, an NEA filmmaker-in-the-schools program and a summer youth-in-residence; Media Study acquired the 100,000-square-foot Mars Hotel housing fifty climate-controlled editing rooms, offices, living space and New York State's largest sound studio. The ECC operates public radio station WBFO and a language laboratory with video and film, and planned campus facilities include two 2400 square foot color television studios with 2-inch and 1-inch capability and satellite connection.
