Ithaca College

Journalism professor Michael Scully will discuss the roadblocks to modern media development at the Ithacan's first "First Tuesdays" session of the academic year on Tuesday, September 6, from 12:10 to 1:05 p.m. in Park 220.

"We've gotten nothing but promises from academics, politicians, and corporate bigwigs about this thing called 'convergence.' On paper, convergence is the seamless fusion of print, broadcast, and the Internet, but so far, none of the business and few of the tech models seem to be working."

Students, faculty, and staff are invited to bring a brown-bag lunch and join Professor Scully, a veteran of both print and broadcast journalism, as he examines this important topic.

On the first Tuesday of every month, the Ithacan hosts an informal discussion group to examine issues in the media. Upcoming topics include literary journalism and the future of digital journalism.
