A roundup of faculty appearances in news sources and media from the last week.
8/11 – Professor Todd Haugh was quoted in a Chicago Tribune story about possible sentences for former Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. and his wife, former Chicago Alderman Sandi Jackson (“Jacksons’ fate a question of time“). Prof. Haugh was also interviewed twice by WBBM-AM and once by WLS-AM about the Jacksons’ sentencing.
8/13 – Social Media Week Chicago opened registration for its free, week-long conference (September 23-27), at which Professor Ed Lee will present a talk on his new book, The Fight for the Future: How People Defeated Hollywood and Saved the Internet—For Now. The book and event seek to explain how ordinary citizens used Facebook, Twitter, and other social media to organize and launch protests against SOPA and ACTA, two controversial copyright proposals in the United States and European Union that many feared would lead to Internet censorship.
8/14 – Clinical Professor of Law Richard Kling was interviewed twice by WLS-TV Chicago about the sentencing of the Jacksons (“Illinoisans react to Jesse Jackson Jr., Sandi Jackson sentences” and “Jesse Jackson Jr., Sandi Jackson to be sentenced in Washington on Wednesday” [8/15]).
