Dr. Kris Barton, Associate Professor of Communication and recipient of the Dalton State Foundation’s 2013 Award for Faculty Excellence in Scholarship, will deliver a Dalton State Lunch & Learn program titled “Understanding the Impact of Media: How Television is Changing Your Life” on March 18 from 12 noon to 1:00 p.m. at Dalton State College in The James E. Brown Center, room 105.
“Media are all around us,” says Dr. Barton. “Recent data suggest that the average American consumes 4.5 hours of television per day, but most never question the impact it has on them mentally, physically, and psychologically.” Dr. Barton will discuss how media – specifically, television – impacts us and has shaped the way we view news, politics, education, and religion.
Reservations and advance payment are required by March 14. Cost is $10 and includes lunch. Those with questions are invited to contact the Dalton State Foundation by calling 706.272.4473.
Dalton State Lunch & Learn programs are open to the public, ages 12 and older. Refunds are offered only on the occasion of an event cancellation by the Dalton State Foundation.
