Communication Week Ends with a Big, Gooey Bite: "Working for a More Diverse Media: Media Professionals Speak Out" and "Is Conglomeration Killing Radio? Music Monopoly, and the Future of U.S. Radio" were two topics of discussion recently when the UTC Communication Department faculty held a week of activities for students. The week culminated with the annual "Pizza With the Pros," a popular event that draws students who join local communication professionals for a free lunch, sponsored and hosted by Dr. Peter Pringle, the Luther Masingill Professor of Communication. "The students had a chance to meet a variety of people in the media from on-air personalities to public relations representatives for a varied perspective. From the professionals’ point of view, it is always refreshing to meet these young people to find out what their interests are, and help them to fulfill their career goals," according to WRCB news anchor David Carroll.
