This diverse panel will include professors and student media advisors who will have taken their respective institutions beyond the traditional broadcast sphere to include social media. Some panelists will share their experience that includes how their students are using social media more heavily than broadcast, while others on the panel will share what their students are doing to complement their broadcast shows. Social media should be part of the broadcast conversation with student media, and this panel will present different perspectives and experiences when it comes to incorporation.
