	SAAME SAAME (South Australian Association for Media Education Inc.) originally began as the S.A. Association for Screen Education during the 1970's and in 1979 hosted for the first National Screen Education Conference. In 1982 SAAME again held a national conference, this time for media education. Some of the resolutions to come out of this included the undertaking of the other states to host this biennial event and the establishment of CAMEO. At the Annual General Meeting early in 1983, a new constitution was adopted along with the name - South Australian Association for Media Education, and the organisation became incorporated. Teresa Shearer (now Forest) was the inaugural President. During the early '80's SAAME was very involved in running student film making camps and supporting the Young Film Makers Festival. When community radio station PBA-FM began test transmissions, SAAME members produced the forerunner to Media Moves and SAAME is now supplying programs to ACE-TV, Adelaide's community TV station. In 1984 a community service announcement, "Take Time to Talk" was made and subsequently aired by Adelaide's commercial TV stations until the '90's. This was followed in 1987 with "What are Your Kids Watching?" For three years in the late 1980's SAAME conducted the S.A.Y. Media Awards. This involved about 1000 students across the state selecting, monitoring and voting for the media products and personalities they thought were the 'best'. The culmination of this process was an Awards night at which the students announced the winners (a la Oscars) and presented them with their award. In 1994 SAAME again hosted the National Media Education Conference. Mediascape '94's success highlighted the leading role South Australia and SAAME play in Media Education.
