    Undergraduate & Graduate Course Catalog 2010–2011 From the president That dedication and focus on excellence continues to this day. Things have surely changed—all of our students have laptops, for example, and the campus is wireless. Our academic equipment and facilities have been dramati- cally expanded and upgraded. Specialized laboratories, smart classrooms and multimedia centers abound. On a more fundamental level, our faculty has never been stronger, our classes remain small, and our close-knit community still makes it easy to learn and grow. Students graduate with the insight and skills to be competitive in whatever professional environment they choose. Both my wife, Jeanne, and I earned degrees here, and I count myself among the thousands whose lives have been changed by this most extraordinary college community. To have been afforded the additional opportunity to join the distinguished list of leaders is an honor I could never have imagined, and for which I am eternally grateful.

  • R Esearch in the Public Interest
    April 2015 — Brief 15–02 Bureau Brief—The Role of the Media in Civic Life “When men are no longer united among themselves by firm and lasting ties, it is im- possible to obtain the co-operation of any great number of them unless you can per- suade every man whose help you require that his private interest obliges him volun- tarily to unite his exertions to the exertions of all the others. This can be habitually and conveniently effected only by means of a newspaper; nothing but a newspaper can drop the same thought into a thousand minds at the same moment.” - Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America “Members of the Society of Professional Journalists believe that public enlighten- ment is the forerunner of justice and the foundation of democracy. Ethical journal- ism strives to ensure the free exchange of information that is accurate, fair and thorough.” - Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics Since the arrival of Isaiah Thomas’ Massachusetts Spy in 1775, Worcester has been a center for media. Worcester’s American Antiquarian Society, founded in 1812, houses the largest collection of pre-1876 printed materials in the country. The Telegram & Gazette – originally two newspapers called the Worces- ter Telegram and Evening Gazette – traces its history back 149 years. Worcester Polytechnic Institute alumnus Henry P. Davis, Class of 1880, founded KDKA of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in November 1920, arguably the world’s first commercial radio station, which preceded the establishment of WDBH (the original call letters of WTAG) in Worcester in 1924. The advent of the internet provided digital opportu- nities for traditional newspapers and news magazines as well as new online media such as news sites, blogs, and streaming video/radio.
