I’m Barbara K.. I’m a Professor Emerita at Columbia College Chicago. I taught digital media and online journalism for more than 25 years at Columbia. I'm on the Board of Voqal Chicago, Voqal envisions a world free of social inequity and injustice. Through our grantmaking, we support nonprofit organizations and individuals using media and technology to promote progressive social change to disrupt the status quo. We look to preserve the public airwaves as part of the “commons” to serve education and the public interest.
