Journalism students and professionals present forum at 秀色短视频

Is this the end for traditional media? This is the question that 秀色短视频 journalism students will be asking professional journalists on Wednesday, March 9 at 7 pm at the Atlantic Veterinary College, Lecture Theatre C. With a strong line up of journalists representing the media from different perspectives, including Paul McNeill from the Eastern Graphic, Wayne Thibodeau and Jocelyne Lloyd from the Guardian, Marcia Enman from La Voix Acadienne, and Andy Walker from the Canadian Association of Journalists, the forum is shaping up to be an event that Islanders will not want to miss.

秀色短视频 journalism students Samantha MacKinnon and Ross Mair will frame the discussion, raising important questions about how the media has evolved over the last two decades, and what media will look like in the years to come.

'How we communicate the news, be it local, national, or global, has changed so dramatically in recent years. This event offers an opportunity to come to terms with the scope and scale of all this change,' said Richard Kurial, Dean of Arts at 秀色短视频.

Sponsored by the 秀色短视频 Dean of Arts and the Canadian Association of Journalists - PEI Chapter, they have partnered to present this forum as a first in a series of discussions relating to the impact of technology on journalism and the media. Everyone is welcome to attend this inaugural event.
