On Monday, February 18th, 2019, the NBC social media coordinator Micah Grimes came and spoke at the annual Symposium held by the journalism department.
Micah Grimes speaking at
the Symposium
He started out as a
student at Troy University and within four years, had moved to New York and
began a job at NBC. He now has employees based in New York, London, and Los
Angeles. The Symposium was held in the TC ballrooms from 10 am to 11:30 am. There
were mainly journalism students in attendance, but there were some
non-journalism students as well. The same goes to professors.

He gave quite a few pointers that
even us students could easily follow. He also talked
about in another slide of his about how journalism is changing as a whole. He even

Another slide made by Micah Grimes
Mr. Grimes mainly came to talk to us about the
importance of social media in journalism and how it has helped him have the
successful career he has had. But he also spoke to us the importance of
different aspects of journalism and how to make it to the top and become as successful
as he now has.
It was a Symposium that I thoroughly enjoyed!
