Date March 20, 2008

… about The Country’s Top Five Digital Media and Marketing Schools.
AdAge, being a advertising trade magazine, was naturally interested in making the piece fit the greater advertising/marketing story. That being said, for anyone who knows ITP, you know it clearly falls in the “Digital Media” side more that the “Marketing” side and I did [...]

Clay Shirky: Here Comes Everybody
