Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at Missouri School of Journalism - Columbia, Missouri, United States
The Missouri School of Journalism and the Missourian community newspaper were founded in 1908, creating a unique and highly successful partnership of learning by doing: the Missouri Method. This immersive, hands-on real-world experience has grown to include -- KOMU-TV, the only university-owned commercial television station and major-network affiliate (NBC) in the U.S. that uses its newsroom as a working lab for students; -- KBIA-FM, one of the most successful public radio/NPR stations in the nation featuring student-developed national award winning newscasts and long-form stories; -- Vox Magazine, covering cultural issues and entertainment; -- AdZou, a full-service agency providing fresh perspectives to research-based campaigns for real companies and organizations; -- MoJo Ad, the student-staffed and faculty-led professional-services advertising agency that works with local, regional and national clients that target teens and young adults; and -- Missouri Business Alert, a digital newsroom covering top business news from across the state. Our students are also picked for many of the most sought after internships in the state and nation. They are experienced journalists and strategic communications professionals when they leave the Missouri School of journalism, and our graduates have worked for and contributed to virtually all of the major news organizations, public relations firms and advertising agencies in the nation. The Missouri School of Journalism emphasizes the latest tools, technologies, strategies and storytelling techniques along with traditional excellence in basic journalistic skills and ethics. If you're looking for the best, look to the Missouri School of Journalism, its faculty, students and alumni -- they are leaders in their categories.
