Upcoming Event at Puts Loyola Into Discussion of Tech and Journalism

On Tuesday, March 27, Loyola University Chicago welcomes Amy Webb, a digital media and technology expert, in discussing tech trends and the future of journalism and technology.

This event comes at a time when Loyola is actively trying to achieve a reputation for being technology-friendly and active in the discussion about social media and social justice.  With all of the controversy in recent years about how social media and technology can be used as tools for social action, extreme activism and as a way to publish violence, Loyola has chosen to join the discussion in a much more positive way.

Loyola has always been a champion for promoting the use of technology and social media and by adding journalism and education to the general discourse, Loyola has chosen an extremely positive path of discussion.

Webb's event tomorrow will highlight how to use technology in the classroom and in job searches and will explore how digital media is changing the world of communications and journalism.

The event will take place at noon tomorrow in Regents Hall at Loyola's Water Tower campus.
