Volume 18, No. 2, Spring, 2013 Volume 24, No. 3, Summer, 2019 Journalists have the power to make a difference homas Fiedler, dean of Boston University’s College of Com- munication,T spoke May 3 on the purposes and power of journalism in his keynote speech, “Why Jour- nalism Matters.” Fiedler began his talk by consid- ering the importance of journalism “as it can be used in a positive and a good way, and how to use it to make a better world.” “What I really want you to under- stand is that all of you in this room actually hold that power.” He was executive editor of The Miami Herald from 2001-2007, and whose investigative report on an extremist cult’s political tactics won a Pulitzer Prize, retires in June as COM’s dean. Fiedler highlighted examples of impressive student work, chal- lenging school authorities and the status quo. He explained that in the wake of the Parkland shooting in February 2018, students were able to use their influence to spread awareness of the issue. “The Parkland students in a lot of ways inspired the nation to become involved in the campaign against gun violence,” Fiedler said. “This was an initiative taken by students.” Keynote coverage continues page 2 photo by Ian Dickerman The Newtonite Thomas Fiedler gives keynote speech at the conference.
