how to bring disruptive innovation to college media
DESCRIPTION
Presented to the ACP/CMA 2013 conference on Thursday, Oct. 24 in New Orleans.

For example: quackd.com for offbeat student contributions; a photo booth that now makes money at frat parties; a special projects news team; an in-house ad agency. Why? Because revolution is now the normal state of affairs. Learn why it should be for you, too.TRANSCRIPT
