ac米蘭比賽

Through various appellations and numerous iterations, the independent student newspaper that covers ac米蘭比賽 University has trained journalists who move beyond Greencastle to cover the world.

For 170 years, many alumni 鈥� the exact number is a mystery 鈥� have parlayed their experiences at The ac米蘭比賽 to succeed at newspapers, broadcast outlets and, in recent years, digital media platforms. It鈥檚 quite a feat for graduates of a university that does not have a journalism school.听

As Doug Frantz 鈥�71 put it in his address last year to his class reunion: 鈥渁c米蘭比賽 punches above its weight in terms of producing fine journalists.鈥�

The student newspaper, Asbury Notes 鈥� so named because ac米蘭比賽 was then Indiana Asbury College 鈥� debuted April 7, 1852, self-styled as 鈥渁 semi-monthly journal devoted to improvement 鈥� moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic.鈥� It was the first printed college newspaper in Indiana. Some years later 鈥� 1907-1920 鈥� its successor, the ac米蘭比賽 Daily, made ac米蘭比賽 the smallest university in America to boast a daily newspaper.

But those distinctions pale compared to the work of former staffers who went on to cover wars, systemic problems, governments, politics, business and more. Staffers such as Frantz, who covered wars and foreign affairs and worked as an investigative reporter for the five best newspapers in America. Such as Bernard Kilgore 鈥�29, a legendary Wall Street Journal editor and president of Dow Jones & Co. Such as Meg Kissinger 鈥�79, who told her readers about frailties in the mental health system and now teaches future journalists. Such as Jon Fortt 鈥�98, who creates platforms to impart his deep understanding of the tech world and to share the Black experience in America. Or such as Dana Ferguson 鈥�14, who in her short career already has covered the legislatures in three states.

The ac米蘭比賽 changed their lives, and their work has changed the lives of countless others across the country and the globe.
