Today’s journalist knows being successful at telling the story takes more than one medium, more than one platform. Words, sounds and images don’t exist in isolation. Print, broadcast and online converge to communicate the message and to allow the reader or viewer to create an experience. To tell the story, it takes media plus so much more.
At ACP’s 26th annual National College Journalism Convention, expect professional, idea-packed and sometimes provocative or humorous keynotes, breakout sessions and workshops from some of the best journalists, advisers and students in the country. It opens Thursday, Feb. 25, with intensive workshops, a stimulating keynote address and networking receptions, and continues on Friday and Saturday with a full program of more keynotes, scores of breakout sessions, displays and critiques. The convention ends Sunday morning after another set of breakouts, a final keynote and the presentation of the Best of Show awards. All sessions will be led by media professionals, accomplished student media advisers and a select group of student journalists. See page 4 to volunteer.
