Thomas Ritchie
Some guest speakers are better not speaking. Or not even being guests.
Thomas Ritchie is the online director for the Sioux City Journal. He made a visit to a Morningside College class to speak about the importance of social media to journalism.
“The share button is changing media,” Ritchie said in his presentation.
But many students felt their guest was unprepared. He spoke more about his own adventures in social networking than about the importance it has on current events.
“He was pretty unprepared,” said Alison Kusler, a sophomore.
It is a fairly unanimous vote than Ritchie should not be invited back to Dr. Fuglsang’s class.
