New Media Beat covers media news from around the world. NMB is a production of Media Studies students from SUNY @ Old Westbury.   We scour the web for news about about media and journalism.

NMB is co-produced by Kelvin Zalis, Jalaal McCoy and Emily Cevallos. Our engineer this week is Kelvin Zalis.  Our hosts are Kamsi Agu and Marja Jalili.

We are streaming live again on Old Westbury Web Radio Thursdays from 10:15-11:15 AM EST.  Can’t listen live? Our fall podcasts will be posted for your listening pleasure every Friday afternoon from September through December 2025.
