Holiday Travel Tips to Help Ease the Hassles

Hopefully you booked early, got a good rate and are traveling with some flexibility. If not, you'll be like most of us. You may have already checked in and printed out your boarding passes. Many airline websites let you do this at home. If not, try to find a kiosk at the airport to check in and avoid the lines. If you don't need to speak with airline personnel, don't sweat the lines. Try to use public transportation or get a ride to the airport. Parking lots tend to fill up quickly around the holiday travel season. To reduce the airport shuttle fare, see if you can leave your car closer to the airport, with a friend or even at your workplace.... (Continue reading)

"We chose to focus on big headlines to uncover the emerging realities of how the important stories are managed both from a traditional and new media perspective," Dean Jerry Ceppos said. "We've assembled these people to better understand how to navigate the complex media challenges of tomorrow."

The week's events will begin with an evening discussion about "Investigative Journalism," then move to a focus on the future and online journalism on Tuesday. Wednesday presentations will stress diversity and law. Public relations will get the spotlight on Thursday.

All presentations are free and open to the public. Speakers have either reported or had intimate involvement in some of the most significant headlines in modern history and will present around campus, work one-on-one with undergraduate and graduate students, participate in think tanks and meet with local professionals.
