Join us Tues., Jan. 26 in the PUB Quiet Dining Room (9208) from 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. for Online News in the Digital Age.
Traditional news media are undergoing fundamental change. Old platforms, such as printed newspapers, magazines, TV and radio, are being supplanted by new platforms fueled by technological changes, including computers, tablets, and cell phones. News consumers are no long viewed as passive customers but as interactive participants who react to and sometime shape news through chat rooms, comment sections, online posts, and the like.
We hear a lot about collapsing economic models of the news industry, but less about changing models of news content as a result of these changes.
Here to discuss these trends as experienced first-hand are Dan DeMay and Jimmy Lovaas, both graduates of Shoreline Community College, and both now working for major online news services.

This Friday’s Roundtable (1/22): Pros and Cons of Working From Home
Experience in the field (and life with a freelancer) dictates to me that there are more pros than cons. Roundtable participant, and stay-at-home freelance editor, Mary Keils, will be on hand to help get the conversation started.
Lots of info online about this topic, but nothing beats real life experiences. Please come by to share. We’ll talk about researching home based employment, the opportunities in our area, tips on motivation, getting set up, the tax situation, and other topics. All this of course with great coffee and snacks, compliments of Central Market.
See you this Friday – and as always, Good Luck out there!

Join us Wed., Jan. 20 at 12:30 p.m. for the first meeting of the Community Read of Octavia’s Brood. We’ll meet weekly on Wednesdays in the PUB 9208 from 12:30-1:30 p.m.
Don’t know what Community Read is? Read on:
Each year a new book is selected for our Community Book Read. Together we share our impressions and ideas. Weekly analyses of the text are led by a variety of college volunteers, bringing with them their unique backgrounds, expertise and perspectives. This keeps the discussion fresh, lively and relevant.
This year’s book is Octavia’s Brood: Science Fiction Stories from Social Justice Movements. Octavia’s Brood is a collection of social justice-themed science fiction stories that feature things like time travel, shape shifting, dystopian worlds, re-imaginings of “model minorities” and the possibilities of using visionary fiction to develop new ideas of future worlds. The works are inspired by the writings of Octavia Butler, an award-winning science fiction writer (Kindred, Parable of the Sower, and Lilith’s Brood) who lived in Lake Forest Park before her death in 2006.
The entire campus community is invited to read and discuss the stories inside Octavia’s Brood during winter quarter. Students will be able to receive a FREE copy of the book after signing up!
You can explore the book, its message and its authors at the library’s learning guide here.
You can find more information and a link to sign up on the SLC web page and you can also sign up to join the read here.
