These last few weeks have made me contemplate the last of my series of four blogs and my final blog for this site. It has been a pleasure to write these as I hope I helped, entertained and inspired you in some way. To the new class coming in, to the class that is leaving, …
The Broadcasters Education Association annual conference was at the beginning of the month and a few students were fortunate to attend and present their research on current media and how it relates to society. During the same time at the convention center next door, the National Association of Broadcasters was holding its annual convention as …
