Walter Cronkite (1916-2009)

ASU’s journalism program was named in honor of former CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite in 1984.

The relationship started when Tom Chauncey, longtime owner of the CBS affiliate in Phoenix and a leading supporter of journalism education at ASU, contacted his old friend in an effort to advance the program. An endowment on behalf of the program was soon established and the school was named after “the most trusted man in America.”

Over the next quarter of a century, Cronkite lent much more than his name to the school. He was closely involved — advising leadership, guiding students and faculty and traveling to Arizona each year to personally give the Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism to one of the nation’s top journalists.

The most special relationship, though, was with “our students,” as Cronkite would always call them. Young women and men, some with parents barely old enough to remember Cronkite behind the anchor desk, lit up when he walked into a classroom. They hung on his every word as he thoughtfully answered their questions about the profession he so loved. They lined up just to shake his hand, and he loved every minute of it. He would talk to many students individually, asking them about their classes, goals and dreams.

In what turned out to be Cronkite’s last visit to ASU in 2007 before declining health prevented him from traveling, a group of 100 students gathered with just minutes notice that Cronkite was in the

building. He held them spellbound as he spoke about covering World War II, Vietnam, Apollo, Watergate and presidents from Truman to Reagan — and of how important “our school” was to him.

Although Cronkite died on July 17, 2009, before he was able to visit the new building, he remains an ever-present part of the school’s heartbeat and direction. His legacy lives on in the spirit and passion with which the school teaches both the skills to do journalism in today’s media environment and the time-honored ethics and news values necessary to do it in the manner that would make him proud.

The Cronkite School has established a special memorial fund in Cronkite’s name. For more information on the fund and to learn more about Cronkite’s legacy and career, visit cronkite.asu.edu/rememberingcronkite.

Keynote Speaker

Alberto Ibargüen is president and CEO of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, a global philanthropic organization dedicated to supporting transformative ideas that promote quality journalism. As president, he is an ex-officio trustee of the foundation.

Previously, he was the publisher of The Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald. During his tenure, The Miami Herald collected three Pulitzer Prizes and El Nuevo Herald won Spain’s Ortega y Gasset Prize for excellence in journalism.

He studied at Wesleyan University and the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Between college and law school, he served in the Peace Corps in Venezuela’s Amazon Territory and was the Peace Corps’ programming and training officer in Bogotá, Colombia. He practiced law in Hartford, Conn., until he joined The Hartford Courant, then Newsday in New York, before moving to Miami.

Ibargüen serves as a member of the boards of PepsiCo, American Airlines Group and AOL. He is a former chair of the World Wide Web Foundation, founded by Web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee to promote a free and universal Web. He has served on the boards of arts, education and journalism organizations, including the Lincoln Center

for the Performing Arts, Wesleyan University and Smith College. He is trustee emeritus of the Newseum in Washington, D.C., where he served as board chair. He also chaired the board of PBS and served on the boards of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Committee to Protect Journalists and ProPublica.

He is a member of the U.S. Department of State Foreign Affairs Policy Board. For his work to protect journalists in Latin America, he received a Maria Moors Cabot citation from Columbia University.

Student Speaker

Kelly Carina Andersen is graduating Magna Cum Laude with a bachelor’s degree in journalism and a minor in anthropology. She also is graduating from Barrett, The Honors College.

Preceded by two generations of journalists in her family, Andersen’s interest in writing and reporting began early when she was one of six high school students in the country to receive press passes to President Barack Obama’s first inauguration.

At the Cronkite School, she anchored the Cronkite NewsWatch desk for both the English- and Spanish-language newscasts.

In addition to excelling in her classes, Andersen has worked for a number of respected publications and productions. Most notably, she served as a summer intern in 2012 for CNN, where she wrote an article “Five guys take same photo for 30 years.” The piece went viral, receiving more than 52 million hits, making it both the network’s most-read article of the year as well as one of the most-read articles in CNN digital history.

Earlier this year, Andersen worked as a red carpet reporter at the Spirit Awards, where she interviewed numerous celebrities, including Brad Pitt, Matthew McConaughey, Cate Blanchett and Jared Leto.

Andersen said she believes that work should be a combination of an individual’s prefessional aspiration and personal passions. After graduation, she plans to combine her love for travel and satire with her passion for reporting as a long-form storyteller.

Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication

The Cronkite School is widely recognized as one of the nation’s premier professional journalism programs. Rooted in the time-honored values that characterize its namesake — accuracy, responsibility, objectivity, integrity — the school fosters journalistic excellence and ethics among students as they master the practical professional skills they need to succeed in the digital journalism world of today and tomorrow.

The Cronkite School’s 1,600 students consistently lead the country in national competitions. The school has the best record in the Hearst Journalism Awards, often called the Pulitzer Prizes of college journalism, over the past eight years. Cronkite also has the country’s best overall record in the national Society of Professional Journalists’ Mark of Excellence competition over the same period and has taken first place in its region for 14 consecutive years. Students also have won three international Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Awards for reporting on social justice issues.

Students are guided by a faculty that is made up of both award-winning professional journalists and world-class media scholars. In recent years, the school has added to its faculty such leading journalists as former Washington Post Executive Editor Leonard Downie Jr., CNN anchor Aaron Brown, Minneapolis Star Tribune Editor Tim McGuire, BET Vice President Retha Hill, Sacramento Bee Executive Editor Rick Rodriguez and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jacquee Petchel.

The Cronkite School continues to lead the field of journalism education with its innovative use of the teaching hospital model, for which it has received national acclaim. The school’s full-immersion professional programs give students opportunities to practice what they’ve learned in real-world settings under the guidance of professionals. Students in Cronkite News Service produce public service journalism for media outlets and consumers statewide and beyond from news bureaus in Phoenix and Washington.

Carnegie-Knight News21 student reporters conduct national investigations into issues critical to Americans, and the business journalism specialization prepares students to report in depth on business, finance and economics. Cronkite NewsWatch is a nightly newscast that reaches 1.4 million Arizonans on Eight, Arizona PBS. In the New Media Innovation Lab, students use digital technologies to forge the future of journalism, and in the school’s Public Relations Lab, students develop campaigns for client companies. A new Public Insight Network Bureau connects students to media companies around the country, helping them shape news coverage, and new sports bureaus in Phoenix and Santa Monica prepare students for careers in sports journalism. Other programs, such as the Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism, provide education and training to professional journalists. And Cronkite Global Initiatives brings international journalists to the school for study and training. All of these initiatives take place in a stateof-the-art building that is unparalleled in journalism education. ASU’s investment in the school has generated national and international attention from educators and media professionals who place the school in the top tier of all U.S. journalism schools. The Times of London and The New York Times highlighted Cronkite in recent articles about changes taking place at journalism schools across the country. The prestigious publications called the Cronkite School a pioneer, kindling a notion of new media that will shape how news is delivered and how people will stay informed in the future.
