The editors are pleased to announce the release of a special third edition of THE BLACK COLLEGIAN Magazine this month.
The Special Graduation Super Issue is being distributed for students through college campuses nationwide, and contains a number of features on the theme of preparing new college graduates for hitting the ground running as they enter the post-grad job market or start their new careers. The new-grad section includes advice from experts on topics ranging from acing the on-site job interview to what to do if you don't have a job by graduation.
Another special careers section focuses on Career Opportunities in Media, New Media and Mass Communications, with additional resources and articles to be added to the extended online addition at our website. The feature, initially planned in discussions with our friends at Black College Wire, attempts to analyze from multiple angles how "traditional media" industries and occupations are being transformed or even replaced by new forms and technologies, and further explore what opportunities are available to enterprising college students interested in media careers. Yes, the section of readings acknowledges that while this era of convergence, consolidation and layoffs certainly spells trouble for those in traditional media industries and companies, such as newspaper publishing and radio broadcasting. However, the bad news in mainstream media does not mean that aspiring media professionals should give up their dreams, or that degrees in journalism, design, PR, and other mass communication areas are worthless.
The appearance of the special magazine section also happens to coincide with the launch of the new Jobs and Readings QuickSearch: Media, New Media and Mass Communications section of our sister-site, IMDiversity.com.
Other cool features include an advice piece, Secrets to Becoming a Successful Campus CEO, by The Apprentice winner Randal Pinkett, who we also profiled last year; and a Q&A with Roderick West - President & CEO, Entergy New Orleans.
