Tusculum communications students to be in audience of live CNN program Thursday

Members of Tusculum College's Introduction to Mass Media class, taught by Associated Professor of Communications Wess duBrisk, are scheduled to be in the audience of the live broadcast of CNN's "TalkBack Live" program at 3 p.m. Thursday.

The class of 13 students will be in Atlanta as part of a communications-related class trip led by duBrisk. Before the program the group will tour the CNN headquarters. The group will leave for Atlanta on Thursday morning.

Originally the communications trip had been scheduled for the New York area, but plans were changed after a major snowstorm struck the northern United States.
