President Pinto's op-ed: 'Social media is like a microwave'
Cincinnati Enquirer publishes President Neville Pinto's guest column calling for greater reflection than social media often allows
University of Cincinnati President Neville Pinto writes in an op-ed that "if social media is going to be a consistent force for good, our engagement with it must be less reactive and more reflective.
