JMC professors Wendy Wardell, Stephanie Smith, Jan Leach and Joe Murray will offer their perspectives and examine the moral, ethical and business implications on advertising, public relations, digital media and journalism, as well as what it means for students entering the workforce.
JMC Director Thor Wasbotten will moderate the discussion and encourages students to attend and contribute their ideas and opinions.
“The only measure of success is how many students we have participating in this conversation,” Wasbotten said. “This is one of the most important issues in the lives of our students, in their education and for their future.”
A recording of the panel discussion will be made available to the public via the JMC website and social media communities following the event. Follow along with the conversation and contribute via Twitter, using the hashtag #jmcconversation.
