Journalism Interactive Event Inspires Students and Teachers

SPJ at VCU students traveled to the University of Maryland Friday to attend the first Journalism Interactive conference, which featured prestigious experts in journalism from across the country —  including VCU School of Mass Communication’s very own professor Jeff South.

411 individuals from 119 schools participated in the 2-day event, which was hosted by UMD’s Phillip Merril School of Journalism.

Relatively few students attended the conference, which was geared towards journalism school educators. However, SPJ at VCU chapter members said they gained a lot from the experience.
