Making Headlines in the Media - The University of Scranton

They’ve covered presidential campaigns, worked
as writers, editors and publishers at major newspapers
and magazines, and been pioneers in the
development of national television networks.
When it comes to making
news, Scranton alumni have
a story worth telling. In this
issue of The Scranton
Journal, we profile some of
the many University graduates
who have played pivotal
roles in shaping local,
regional and national news.
They are the people behind
the television newscasts you
watch, the radio broadcasts
you hear and the headlines
you read. Their distinguished
careers have made a few
headlines of their own.
