AIJI speakers

By Charles Pulliam

June 12 marked the halfway point for the American Indian Journalism Institute’s summer program here in Vermillion.

In that time period, not including our daily instructors, we have had five unique journalists give speeches and offer advice.

An incredible conversation was the result of meeting them. I gave my own label to them on how they made me feel.

Most Inspirational: Carl Juste, three time Pulitzer Prize finalist for photography...

Sense of Greatness: John Siegenthaler, former editor and publisher of The Tennessean...

Down to Earth: Gene Policinski, former editor of USA Today and current vice president and executive director of First Amendment Center...

Unforgettable: Michael Gartner, former president of NBC...

True Leader: Al Neuharth, founder of USA Today...

The advice offered has been one of kind.
