The Graduate
School of Journalism exposes you to the best.
Ed Dillinger (Dean) spent time at Harvard Divinity School studying the apologetics of early Christian saints, giving him an uncanny ability to justify the J-school's existence to donors and potential students. He has also won awards for his lively book jacket quotations, which he offers for the small price of a semester teaching at his school.
Al Gore is a former Vice President and environmentalist who now works for a colossal financial institution. He is teaching "The Era of the Sound Bite: Journalism Methodology in the 21st century," because the subject fascinates him, it does, and besides, he'd rather be a J-school professor than be the stupid goddamn Commander-In-Chief anyway.
Marie Smaugley (visiting fellow) is author of Online, He Cried: The Intriguing Genesis of America Online and a technology correspondent for Particle magazine. After an editor chopped down her piece on the open source movement to a mere 14,000 words, her analyst told her J-school was the perfect forum for working through deep-seated feelings of inferiority. In her class, titled "On Crafting the Longer Magazine Feature," she will role-play "editor" (professor) to a classroom of "writers" (students), as she criticizes their article ideas for an imaginary magazine.
Stan McMole worked for
over 30 years as a political correspondent and bureau chief for the Midland
Daily Leader-Trumpet. In return he was paid very little and laughed
at by county supervisors. McMole is happy to have relocated to the Bay
Area and doesn't ever want to be a reporter again.
Bill O'Reilly is host of Fox News's popular "The O'Reilly Factor." He is co-teaching "Covering Capitol Hill" with Stan McMole, by which we mean he will make two special appearances via satellite. Duane A. Osgorth is a foreign correspondent for Newsmonth whose secret fantasy is to talk about Cold War geopolitics with a seminar of young women in tight clothes.
