Capstone Conversation

The Capstone Conversation that I attended was presented by the dean of the College of Mass Communications, Charles Bierbauer. He was a CNN correspondent for twenty years. during that time he was the senior White House correspondent and covered the Reagan and Bush administrations for nine years. He is an award winning journalist and has been to many countries and has a wide variety of amazing experiences. He talked to us about how the media effects our perception of the world. He said that while we can receive information from the media we shouldn't let them change our thinking and individual ideals. He also advised us to not believe everything we see and her in the media. There is a good amount of media that we should be aware of and know that it may not be true. He also talked about the different types of media, whether they are more conservative or more liberal. He said that while media is supposed to in the middle that is not always the case and to look at many different media sources to develop your own opinions.
