NBC’s Bob Dotson visits Monday.

NBC News correspondent Bob Dotson has made a name for himself telling stories from outside the mainstream. His “American Stories with Bob Dotson,” about the extraordinary in everyday people, airs on the Today show and other NBC programs.

Dotson will share his video expertise Monday in a general lecture to the public and with students in assistant professor Mike Conway’s J520 Video Storytelling class and his J410 Media as Social Institutions class.

The public talk, “A Survival Kit for Professional Storytellers: How to Compete with Cell Phones and Web Sites,” will be in the Ernie Pyle Auditorium at 8 p.m.

Dotson’s work has won more than 100 broadcast journalism honors, including four Emmy Awards, and prizes from the Alfred I. Dupont-Columbia University Awards and the Society of Professional Journalists.
