This Sunday, February 22, at 8 p.m. EST, it’s “Bring a Professor Night” at CollegeJourn, a weekly live online chat about student media and journalism education.
I spoke with Suzanne Yada today about the chat, why it’s so important to bring the faculty to the table, and what she thinks they can learn from their students. Suzanne is one of the CollegeJourn moderators, and a student at the School of Journalism and Mass Communications at San Jose State University. (Full disclosure: I’m still finishing up my graduate degree in the same department.)
