Nashville here we come, March 6-8


The Center for Innovation in College Media is holding its second annual national new media conference in Nashville at Vanderbilt University from March 6-8. The plan is to bring 20 Ole Miss students, faculty and media advisers. The three co-founders of CICM are Chris Carroll, director of student media at Vandy, Brian Murley, journalism professor and tech-guru at Eastern Illinois University and yours truly, Sucko the clown from Ole Miss. Finally, CICM is starting to gain some momentum. We have secured funding from College Publisher, U-Wire, the National Press Photographers Assocation and the Ed and Becky Meek Trust for the Future of Journalism. We hope to have 150 participants and break even. Is that too much to ask?
