The Gazette newspaper in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has been on the forefront of embracing new ways of storytelling and reaching out to the surrounding community. Tomorrow, Steve Buttry, the newspaper’s Complete Community Connection (C3) coach, will be at UK to talk about some of their initiatives and about what interns are expected to do at his multimedia, social-networked newsroom.

He’ll be speaking at 7 p.m. Sunday in the Kentucky Kernel newsroom in the basement of the Grehan Journalism Building. There will be free pizza at the event, so don’t worry about missing dinner.

Journalism professor Buck Ryan brought Buttry to campus, but SPJ members are welcome and encouraged to attend.
