Guest lecturers also include Mike Orren (@mikeorren), Chief Product and Audience Officer at the Dallas Morning News, where he leads digital and print product development, marketing, and business intelligence.
Warren Cole Smith (@WarrenColeSmith) will be teaching students how to do investigative journalism. Smith is the president of MinistryWatch.com (@MinistryWatch) and written, co-written, or edited more than 10 books.
Students will also be hearing from Tiffany Owens (@tg_owens), a board member of Strong Town and former journalist. In her spare time, she reads and writes about cities and urban design and creates content for her Instagram channel @citiesdecoded.
