Getting to Know Rem Rieder

We'll be pleased next week to host Rem Rieder, editor of the American Journalism Review, on the Simpson campus. He'll be speaking to several of our journalism and mass communication classes and presenting a Simpson Forum lecture on Thursday night, April 6.

Rieder has a number of pieces now at AJR that students in the Mass Media Ethics course should read before Rieder's appearance before the class earlier that Thursday. The required readings include:

The Knight Ridder Fade-out

Two Cheers for McClatchy

The Accidental Hunter
