SCAD announced last Friday that Entertainment Weekly will serve as the first ever Official Media Partner for the 2019 SCAD aTVfest in Atlanta. Now in its seventh year, the university’s annual signature event celebrating the television industry will be held at SCADshow in Atlanta Feb. 7-9, 2019.
As the Official Media Partner for SCAD aTVfest, EW will help program and moderate select talent panels, along with hosting a photo and video studio where talent will create exclusive content to run across EW’s print, digital and social platforms.
“SCAD is proud to partner once again with industry leader Entertainment Weekly to share the best of television and highlight its future at SCAD aTVfest,” said SCAD president and founder Paula Wallace. “SCAD degree programs prepare the brightest and best, and SCAD alumni are working as directors, writers, actors, motion media artists, and in every other aspect of television.”
“Entertainment Weekly has been admiring SCAD aTVfest for years in our role as press, moderator, and fan, but this year we are incredibly excited to be involved as the official media partner,” said Henry Goldblatt, Editor in Chief of Entertainment Weekly. “With EW’s connections in the TV industry and aTVfest’s commitment to presenting an unparalleled experience for fans and talent alike, I hope we can stage what will become the preeminent TV festival in the country.”
