University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication’s Johnston Lecture Series
The conference begins on Thursday, April 25, with the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication’s Johnston Lecture Series. The Johnston Lecture brings professionals to the school for campus lectures, workshops, and discussions with students, faculty members, and members of the community. It honors Dick Johnston, a gifted magazine editor, writer, and war correspondent who devoted himself to high-quality journalism. The project was made possible with generous gifts from his widow, Laurie; George E. Jones of U.S. News and World Report; and the Correspondents Fund.
The 2013 Johnston Lecturer is Charles Jaco.
