About this event
Sponsored by MSU’s Department of Communication and The Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC), the second News Engagement Day will be observed Wednesday [Oct. 7]. The goal of the one-day event is for as many people as possible both nationwide and throughout the world to engage with news and remember why news matters. The Department of Communication invites all those interested to a panel discussion Wednesday [Oct. 7] from 3:30-4:45 p.m. in Colvard Student Union's Fowlkes Auditorium. Journalists at the local and state level will discuss the current state of the news industry, the future, and the importance of news in our daily lives. Join the effort to make staying informed a national and international priority. Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to attend the panel discussion, where questions will be fielded from the audience.
