The agenda for the 11th Annual Convergence and Society Conference features two days of research and panels exploring the conference themes: advancing business journalism and convergence. The conference opens with an evening reception Wednesday, Sept. 26, then continues with two full days of sessions Sept. 27 and 28.
In
addition to a full set of panels exploring the latest research, practices, and
teaching issues related to convergent journalism, the conference features five
sessions addressing business journalism. Keynote speaker Linda O’Bryon,

speakers addressing topics related to business journalism include the
University of North Carolina’s Chris Roush and Reynolds Business Professor Pam
Luecke from Washington and Lee University. Veteran journalists Gabriella Stern,

financial crisis.
