Here are the details from chapter board member Clay Scott at Vol State:
Converging media is the topic for a discussion Wednesday, April 7, at 12:30 p.m., on the campus of Volunteer State Community College in Gallatin.
Ed Bourn, the online and technology director of the Chattanooga (Tenn.) Times Free Press (timesfreepress.com), will discuss the “new media” in the Rochelle Center of the Thigpen Library.
His lecture is titled, “Media: Emerging and Converging.”
Bourn develops the technology and business models that drive seven sites associated with the the Times Free Press.
Timesfreepress.com was named the 2009 Best Overall Website in 14 states by the Southern Newspaper Publishers Association.
This year, timesfreepress.com and its six sister sites won eight American Advertising Federation Addy Awards.
Editor & Publisher ranked the Times Free Press #22 among the Top 25 Daily Newspapers in Print and Online Growth last year.
Before coming to the Times Free Press, Bourn was the director of product management at Everstream, where he was managing over 250 newspaper and community online sites, powered by components developed by the company.
Bourn’s visit is part of Communication Week at Vol State. Events are planned throughout the week to celebrate the field of communication and the accomplishments of our students.
Bourn’s visit is funded by a grant from the Tennessee Press Foundation.
