About
In the year 2020, the word “normalcy” seems to have a different meaning. It has been a year filled with many twists and turns, felt and heard not only around our university, but also around the world as a multitude of problems has impacted much of humanity. Over the past several months, our class undertook the task of determining which of many issues has had the most significant impact on journalism. The topic that we chose related to the difficulties the COVID-19 pandemic has imposed on journalists.

“Journalism was always sacred to me. I grew up in boarding schools and the written word was literally my only connection to the world. Good journalism is the glue holding together real truth, new ideas, opportunities, disseminating the good and the bad news that we all need to know.”
— Al Litzow, Class of 1973
