“From Whence We Came to Where We’re Going”

During this symposium, which took place Wednesday afternoon in the Reynolds Alumni Center, authors of the soon-to-be-published 1908:  Birth of a Profession discussed everything from immigrant voices to sexism in journalism in the year 1908. 

Some of the more poignant points made were:

“The thing I keep thinking about is how can we get to these rich, rich, rich documents… which are so important as we consider the role of immigrants today?” ~Berkley Hudson

“When we do start to talk about journalistic ideas that span cultures, they are always fallible and never complete.” ~Hans Ibold (PhD ’08)

The symposium was well-attended and guests had the privilege of hearing from eight contributing authors.
