I attended a great reception Wednesday night with the Kansas City area alumni of the University of Kansas Journalism School. I was the official host since I secured the venue, but that is all I had to do as host. The J-
school staff did the rest.
It was a great and diverse group of people of all ages who all had one very important thing in common - we are all "Jayhawk Journalists." There were newspaper and magazine people in the room; television reporters and anchors; some of my fellow marketing and public relations pros as well as Dean Ann Brill and many of the J-School faculty. Each of the faculty members took a little time to update us on their areas and what students are doing today. A lot of great work being done across all areas of the school.
I also picked up a couple of new blogs to read and pass them on to you here. Whitney Mathews is a 2006 grad from KU and is the web producer at Fox 4 News here in Kansas City. She has a very active and fun blog at MyFoxKC. Also, my good friend and associate dean at the J-School, David Guth, has ventured into the blogosphere with Snapping Turtle. What David may lack in frequency, he will more than make up for in content. I am looking forward to being a guest lecturer in David's fall class on elections. A great year to talk politics for sure.
If you have read any good blogs lately and think I should be looking at them, please pass them on.
