During our stay at the University of Florida, we were treated to the superior knowledge of experienced journalism veterans in the luxurious Gannett Auditorium.

The students at the summer journalism institute were privileged enough to have heard Michael Foley, on the importance of journalism; Mitch Stacy, on the art of interviewing; Wayne Garcia, on web publishing and finding facts online; Kim Walsh-Childers, on journalistic ethics; Dede Smith, on the art of thinking visually; Charles Harris, getting into college; Renee Dietrich, on the basics of publishing design; and Laurence Alexander, on lessons in free speech.
