Pulitzer-nominated journalist speaks to honors students

Journalist George Archibald, standing, recently spoke to honors students in Dr. Michael Ray Smith's Journalists in Film and Fiction class. A 35-year veteran of the newsroom, Archibald broke many national stories for “The Washington Times.” For instance, he was the first reporter to connect Geraldine Ferraro, a vice presidential candidate, to her family's real estate improprieties in Manhattan. In the photograph from left, at bottom, are Catherine Wiggs, Sarah Franks, Kristen Harris, Tiffany Dorrin, Archibald, Tiffany Earl, Lee Chong, Luke Custer and Yi Wan Chan. Archibald is one of the many visiting speakers who helped students explore the images of reporters in mass media. The class provides some opposition views to the one-dimensional stereotypes associated with journalists.
