Join us for Matt Waite’s, professor of practice for the College of Journalism and Mass Communication, Nebraska lecture on Wednesday, Nov 8, 3:30 p.m., at the Nebraska Union Auditorium, 1400 R St. Professor Waite is a national expert in drone journalism and established the country’s first drone journalism lab. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Professor Waite will explain why a cohesive legal framework is necessary for the drone age to reach its full potential in the U.S. His work is a great example of how interdisciplinary work is necessary to solve societal challenges, great and small, and develop effective public policy.
