Dean Grueskin Addresses New J-schoolers
Bill Gruskin, the new Dean of Academic Affairs at The Journalism School at Columbia University, addressed the new students on August 29 in the Lecture Hall inside the J-School.
The former Deputy Managing Editor of The Wall Street Journal oversaw the wsj.com website and is now committed to focus journalism students more on the web than ever before. CJR.org quotes him:
“You have a responsibility, now, to our industry,” Grueskin said. “Democracy works badly when the press is not healthy and vigorous. Create models that will make it vibrant and healthy for a long time.”
Watch the video below or read about his speech and others at the J-School website.
