Connections: When Social Media Causes Trouble

We've seen a remarkable range of headlines about social media nastiness: anonymous attacks on Yik Yak; ugly tweets about a former baseball star's daughter; racist chants shared on video. Even Monica Lewinsky is talking about social media shaming. We'll examine the headlines, with a look at what can get someone in trouble at work or on campus. Also, how are local colleges dealing with Yik Yak, the newest headache for professors? We discuss with our panel: 

  • Mary Ellen Zuckerman, provost of the College at Brockport
  • Imani Lawrence, Brockport student
  • Mike Johansson, social media strategy consultant
