Professor John Clark

John F. Clark is an Assistant Professor of Telecommunications, having previously served as Technology Coordinator for the College of Communications and Information Studies for five years and as adjunct professor in Telecommunications for seven years. He is responsible for a required pre-major course and a popular course in digital audio production, as well as a number of courses in telecommunications delivery systems. He is the faculty advisor for WRFL-FM, the UK student-run radio station; the Society of Telecommunications Scholars (STS); the Grehan Recording Group (GRG); and the Non-Traditional Students Organization (NTSO). Clark is a graduate of UK, with a B.A. in Telecommunications and Political Science in 1990 and an M.A. in Communications in 1992.

Clark has extensive audio and video production experience at University of Kentucky Television (UKTV), the Sports Video Department of the UK Athletic Association, as a free-lance videographer, as a production assistant on an Academy Award-winning documentary film, and on a number of other projects, including as Associate Producer of "Beyond O.J.: A Public Journalism Forum on Domestic Violence," which was broadcast January 22, 1995 on Kentucky Educational Television. From 1993-97, he was a Research Consultant for the Boston-based firm Research Communications, Ltd., conducting focus groups and administering survey and scanning point instruments for the purpose of evaluating news and educational programming, as well as new educational technologies and curricula.

As technology columnist for The Lane Report, the business and economic news magazine for Kentucky, Clark published over 30 columns and has also published feature articles in The Lane Report, The Kentucky Journal of Commerce and Industry, and the Chevy Chaser, as well as a chapter entitled "Light and Sound, Seeing and Listening" in the 1998 book Theoretical Foundations of Multimedia. His experience in computer-based multimedia production education began as a participant in an early on-line information service, an experimental outlet called the e-chronicle, produced at the annual workshop of the Society for Newspaper Design in 1994.

An avid musician, Clark plays several instruments and was a member of the Lexington Singers from 1986 to 2002, performing regularly with the Lexington Philharmonic Orchestra and at a number of other venues, including New York's Carnegie Hall. He is a member of the Lexington Jazz Arts Foundation, serving on the Board of Directors from 1997 to 2000. A tuxedo-clad Clark played bass on jazz standards with the Bill Fletcher Trio from 1995-98. In the mid-80s, he was a member of the regionally acclaimed original power pop group Velvet Elvis, and co-produced and mixed the well-received album "Fun and Trouble" on Hit-a-Note Records. During the years 1975 through 1982, Clark eked out a meager living playing music professionally.
