Eric Kuhn presented a lecture in March in Washington, D.C. to students participating in “Year Up,” a program that provides urban young adults 18-24, with a combination of technical and professional skills, college credits, an educational stipend and corporate apprenticeship opportunities. Kuhn’s presentation was on new media and how the history of journalism has evolved with blogs, YouTube and citizen journalists playing a larger role than ever in effecting the 2008 political campaign. Kuhn integrated real life stories based on his experience working for WHCL 88.7 FM and the Spectator to talk about citizen journalism.

Kuhn is currently participating in Hamilton College’s Washington D.C. program and is interning for MSNBC. He also worked for NBC last summer, focusing on digital media projects.
