Her focus as a researcher, she says, is “exploring how technological changes in mass commu- nication affect politics.” And she loves it. “I get to choose the questions I want to explore, and I learn something new from each research project,” she says. “Plus,” she adds, “it is never boring.” But while many journalism research- ers believe their research is intriguing and applicable to the field of journal- ism, some get the impression that many working journalists — reporters and editors at newspapers, magazines, broadcast stations and Web sites — dis- miss such research as irrelevant to their daily routine and responsibilities. David Weaver, the School of Journal- ism’s Roy W.

Banayote Photography Banayote ■ Below: For 11 years, Patrick J. McKeand was publisher of The Sagamore, the award-win- ning student newspaper for IUPUI, and an adjunct faculty member of the School of Journal- ism at Indianapolis. During his tenure, student journalists received state, regional and na- tional awards for journalistic achievements. The students he taught, as well as the student editors and reporters for The Sagamore, learned from a seasoned journalist, editor and teacher. His mentoring and leadership inspired former students and editors to create the first alumni-initiated endowed scholarship for future editors of The Sagamore. McKeand’s teaching also made significant contributions to developing a free press in Croatia. In his retirement, he continues to develop projects for the school and the campus such as First Amendment Day, which will be held on the Indianapolis campus next fall. Pat McKeand accepts the award from Executive Associate Dean Jim Brown, left, and IUPUI Chancellor Charles Bantz.

■ Above: A School of Journalism at Indianapolis graduate, Brian Mohr, BAJ’96, has become a role model for his generation not only for his national recognition in journalism but also for his successful fund-raising efforts and service for the benefit of IU. Mohr initi- ated a scholarship fund-raising effort last fall that brought in more than $15,000 in just a few weeks from alumni and current students. The fund raising was not to make a name for himself as a philanthropist; rather, it was to honor his teacher, mentor and friend Pro- fessor Patrick J. McKeand. Mohr’s service as the student editor of The Sagamore resulted in a Pacemaker Award rec- ognizing the nation’s top college newspapers, and the Adobe Systems Inc.’s first-place award for newspaper design. His design work has been honored by the Indiana Collegiate Press As- sociation, the Associated Press and the Society for News Design. In 1997, Mohr was named one of the world’s top 12 young designers at the Poynter Institute for Media Studies. Mohr is a Web editor for the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, which has been honored by the Florida Society of Newspaper Editors, the Society of Professional Journalists and the Florida Press Club.
