David Ellison, the owner of Paramount Skydance, a newly formed mass media and entertainment company, is making a bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, according to a Sept. 11 New York Times article. Faculty and students in the Department of Film and Television at the Boston University College of Communication said the merger between these two massive enterprises may transform the media industry substantially.

Emmy- and BAFTA-nominated director Jeremy Webb visited the College of Communication on Friday for a screening and discussion about his work, which includes "The Last of Us" and "Downton Abbey."

Boston University’s Department of Film and Television is making a second attempt to search for a new department chair, according to a recent job listing on LinkedIn. Current FTV chair Paul Schneider said he tried to step down last year but remained on staff because a replacement could not be secured.
