The University of Oklahoma Journalism School turned out some good, solid news people back in the day, but we were a different breed. Editors actually edited our copy, and we had to provide sources for every word. None of this gathering of rumors then quoting, “The White House said today,” or “Protestors complained bitterly,” or “Democrats grieved,” We were required to have a named source for our information, at least know a name to credit, even if we agreed to keep the name confidential. We did not scoop up loose comments that agreed with our opinions, then report our findings as reliable. A university-produced journalist took pride in the profession. I hope the Gaylord School of Journalism is sticking to those standards.
OU”s J-school has turned out a number of great journalists, thanks to some wonderful instructors who set high standards. one of those students (warren vieth) is on the faculty and i’m sure he is keeping the high standards,
