Do you need a headshot to boost the professionalism of your LinkedIn profile? You can get three for $12 and support Curb magazine, the award-winning student magazine produced by J-School students each fall. You don't need an appointment -- just go to the top of Bascom Hill 9/29 and 10/5 to have your picture taken by the magazine's staff photographer.

If you're looking for something to do this afternoon, stop by SJMC's annual Nafziger Lecture at 4 p.m. in the Pyle Center. Steve Coll, dean of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, will be talking about the future of journalism in the digital age. http://www.news.wisc.edu/22268

Technology is changing how news consumers stay informed, shaping a new era of journalism that's faster, more interactive and more in-depth than ever before.
