Today is #WorldPressFreedomDay.

Press freedom is a constitutional right — and a democratic necessity.

Watch @trevortimm explain.

@OKCNightCourt @stevelackmeyer Excellent point. #ucosocialmediapros

[Joe Hight @JoeHight]

Oh no, @Okieprof of #clarkclass fame just told #ucosocialmediapros that he’s getting off Twitter! He calls it “feces,” among other things. If you have a reason for it, he says, use it.

[Joe Hight @JoeHight]

@ethan_youssef @Okieprof Hey #ucosocialmediapros what you do you think?

[Joe Hight @JoeHight]
