BusinessWeek’s David Rocks visits campus Thursday and Friday.
Senior editor for global news at BusinessWeek magazine David Rocks visits IU this week and will give a lecture to the public at 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 29, in the Ernie Pyle Auditorium. His appearance is in collaboration with IU’s Kelley School of Business.

In a phone interview from his New York office, Rocks said he plans to talk about his work as a business reporter and editor and as a foreign correspondent. After talking a bit about how news magazines such as BusinessWeek are adapting to the online world, he will field questions from the audience.

Since 2006, Rocks’ duties have included overseeing the magazine’s correspondents and coordinating bureaus around the world. Prior to this, Rocks was Asia editor for four years, writing stories about technology, politics and design trends, according to his bio page on the BusinessWeek Web site. Before joining BusinessWeek, Rocks spent eight years in Prague as a correspondent for the Wall Street Journal, the Chicago Tribune and the San Francisco Chronicle.

Rocks also will speak at IUPUI Thursday morning and at 10:30 a.m. Friday, Jan. 30, at the Kelley School, Graduate and Executive Education Center Room 0034/0036.
