Sophomore political science major Fergus O'Rourke presents his paper, "Different Ball Game: The Changed and Changing Faces of Print Media," during the opening panel of Lander University's Student Academic Symposium on Monday, April 8. O'Rourke's paper discussed how journalistic content has shifted away from print in favor of online platforms, and the problems this shift poses. "Fewer outlets are getting more attention," O'Rourke noted in his abstract, "with many newspapers and their journalists losing out. Perhaps the public is losing out too." O'Rourke is an international student from Dublin, Ireland, and a member of the Lander Men's Tennis team.
