Please encourage your students to attend the Neal Shine Ethics Lecture
with Tom Rosenstiel Nov. 21, Thursday, at 4 p.m. in room 145. He'll
talk about the need for journalists in the 21st century. What is
required are the skills of professional news gathering, and perhaps
more importantly, the intellectual discipline of open-minded inquiry.
He's also talking to some classes about the role of mobile in the future
of journalism.
He is talking in NY tonight: http://www.pbs.org/mediashift/truth-and-trust-in-the-21st-century/
