a corner of the Forum
Monday, April 14th, 2008Last night I got a backstage look at the Compassion Forum. I worked in the Message Room and the Media Filing Center, observing journalists from several major publications in action. What an eye-opener. Call me ignorant, but, not being a journalism major, I haven’t experienced the broadcasting side of the field. Last night I learned new vocabulary terms, rubbed shoulders with some influential Faith in Public Life figures, and witnessed the crazy pace at which the professionals function. Experiencing the media commotion was exciting - what a great opportunity for the College. I hope the forum served to encourage a thoughtful and honest relationship between politics and faith.
