Centurion

Issue date: 4/13/09 Section: Op/Ed

At 10 a.m. on Wednesday,
April 22 in the library auditorium
at Bucks, the journalism
program and the Centurion
will host the ninth annual
media day forum. The event
is open to the public and the
idea is to give students a feel
of what it's like to work in the
field of journalism. This year,
the focus is on online journalism.
In prior years, the forum
has presented speakers from
all walks of the field such as
reporters from the
Philadelphia Inquirer, NBC
and ABC.
This year three speakers
will be giving presentations
at the event. The speakers are
Chris Krewson, the Executive
Editor for Online News at the
Philadelphia Inquirer; Robert
Moran, an Online Reporter
for the Philadelphia Inquirer;
and Bob Kellagher, the Chief
Operating Officer at
Interactive Media and
Calkins Media.
Each speaker will speak
about for approximately 10 to
15 minutes about their career
in online-based journalism or
website-based newspapers.
Each speech will be concluded
by a question and answer
session.
Journalism Professor Tony
Rogers, author of "News
Writing on Deadline," and a
former reporter for the New
York Daily News and the
Associated Press, suggested
that anyone who is interested
in a career in the field of journalism
should attend the
forum. The forum offers firsthand
advice from professionals
on what it is like to work
in the field and be a reporter.
The event also offers a tour
of the college's high-tech
journalism center where The
Centurion is produced as
well as the television production
studio and film editing
labs. The event is free and is
open to the public. Any questions
should be forwarded to
journalism@bucks.edu.
