Facilitating Change
“Nothing stays the same except change.” It seems the biggest obstacle, virtually speaking, is change. Journalists must adapt and change their mindset in order to thrive. With lessons from authors like Chris Anderson, Thomas Friedman and dozens of authors, this session will help you open your mind to receive the multimedia tools you need the most.
Dr. Sybril Bennett, New Century Journalism Program, Belmont University.
