Today we had the ribbon cutting for a new center, an investigative journalism program, in our school. It’ll start operations next spring. We had a day of panelists! And there was an actual ribbon that was actually cut!<\/p>\n

The keynote was the terrific Scott Pelley. You might have heard of him from CBS or 60 Minutes. You might have heard of those from television.<\/p>\n

Don’t pretend like you don’t know what a television is. You aren’t that hip. And people that do that aren’t hip, either. Pelley did a great job. I had student crews recording the keynote. You can click the image below to see his speech:<\/p>\n

There were four other panels, as well, which we produced as two live videos. This one includes<\/a> “Investigative Sports Journalism in a Multimedia World,” and then “Investigative Journalism’s New Golden Age? The Rise of the Nonprofits.”<\/p>\n

Perhaps you’d prefer a variation on that last theme, and a panel on professional skill development. You can see those panels right here:<\/p>\n
