PROGRAM DETAILS:
"Renewing the Journalist's Creed"
Almost 100 years ago, Walter Williams wrote, "I believe in the profession of journalism." Can the journalists of the 21st Century make such a statement? How are the challenges they face different from those of previous generations, and what must they do for public-service journalism to remain viable, relevant and accountable?
Fancher's talk and discussion with members of the Missouri School of Journalism community will take place in the Fred W. Smith Forum of the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute in Columbia, Mo., a state-of-the art facility that is fast becoming one of the nation's premiere venues for collaboration on the future of news and journalism.
Fancher retired from The Seattle Times last year, after 20 as executive editor. During his tenure The Times won four Pulitzer Prizes and was a Pulitzer finalists 13 other times.
A story about his retirement quoted a former deputy mayor and Boeing executive as saying: "Under Mike, the paper was fearless about tackling subjects it thought were important to the community. There were a lot of people in the community who didn't like that. But, at the same time, the paper was gutsy, and fearless in admitting when it made a mistake."
A competing editor said, "As a competitor, no one was tougher than
Fancher. He's incredibly creative on both the strategic, visionary level
and at the tactical street fights that are part of winning and losing
readers. The Seattle Times under Fancher was ahead of most newspapers in
figuring out how to thrive in an increasingly complex media environment.
The cornerstones were a comprehensive local news report, an emphasis on
public-service investigative reporting, and assembling a stable of
columnists and critics with singular, strong voices."
