A Fountain of Knowledge


Roosevelt University Professor John Fountain was the guest speaker in my RT 430 class on Friday. He showed examples from his reporting work for the New York Times, Washington Post, and Chicago Tribune.

Fountain reminded us that a journalist's first obligation is to report the truth.

It was a good way to end the semester with some thoughts to ponder.

News and Public Affairs...a history/sociology of the broadcast media. Unfortunately, I don't get to teach it very often.
