‘There is no democracy without journalism.’ 60 Minutes’ Scott Pelley visits Media School for Arnolt Center opening By Kyra Miller kymill@iu.edu | @kyra_ky94
In a time of relentless “fake news,” American journalists must fight in order to get stories that are coherent and useful to viewers and voters in our country. “Some say this is a bad time to be a journalist, but it is a great time to be a journalist, because everyone is looking at you,” 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley said in his speech, which marked the end of the grand-opening day for the Arnolt Center for Investigative Journalism. “Arnolt knows that there is no democracy without journalism,” Pelley said. The celebration lasted all day and brought media professionals from across the country to the Media School in order to educate

and give professional advice to students, faculty, friends and family. Some of the events included panels, a ribbon cutting and a speech from former CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley.
Pelley brought personal experience to Presidents Hall and showed student journalists exactly what it means to do interviews, collect facts and talk to sources. Pelley also read excerpts from his newest book,
“Truth Worth Telling: A Reporter’s Search for Meaning in the Stories of Our Times.” “A great privilege of journalism is to encourage people to speak out, to tell their stories,” Pelley said in his speech. Pelley worked at CBS for 31 years, with many of those spent on the air. While working for CBS, Pelley covered many pivotal events across the United States, including 9/11, the BP Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill, the Davidian siege in Waco, Texas, the impeachment of President Clinton and the Gulf War. Pelley also won an Emmy Award for an interview with Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke in 2008. Pelley announced Tuesday he will be accepting a position on the Arnolt Center’s advisory board.
Citizens were allowed past the doors of the lobby in the Bloomington Police Department on Tuesday night. The group of nearly 30 people were all there for the same reason – BPD’s annual Citizens Police Academy. Tuesday night marked the start of the free, 11-week program where BPD officers invite citizens into the world of law enforcement. The group will meet for two and a half hours each Tuesday until graduation from the academy Nov. 19. BPD Chief Michael Diekhoff said the program is geared toward the curiosity of citizens and is adjusted each year to better suit their interests. “Every year this program is a little bit different based on recommendations,” Diekhoff said. This year’s academy schedule includes lessons on topics such as firearms training, hostage negotiation and narcotics investigations. The program gives citizens an introduction to BPD’s German Shepherd K-9, Ike. Participants are also offered the opportunity to participate in a patrol ridealong. “The world looks a whole lot different from the front of a police car,” Capt. Scott Oldham said. People chose to participate in the academy for a number of reasons. Some were intrigued by the idea of learning more about cops and law enforcement, while others chose to take part in the program to help their career paths. Many of the participants were IU students. Their majors included criminal justice and their career aspirations consisted of becoming a police officer. SEE ACADEMY, PAGE 6

IU prepares for opener against OSU By Caleb Coffman calcoffm@iu.edu | @CalCoff
Students were lined up waiting to get inside Memorial Stadium the last time Ohio State came to Bloomington two years ago. Signs filled the student section as the crowd yelled behind the set of ESPN’s College GameDay waiting for the Tom Allen era to begin as IU was ready for a fresh start. In that game, IU looked strong in the first half moving the ball effectively against a top-5 ranked Ohio State team as the Hoosiers took a 14-13 lead into the half. The crowd inside Memorial Stadium was filled with hope that they were about to witness one of the biggest upsets in college football. Instead, the Buckeyes ran away with the game in the second half as they steamrolled IU in a 49-21 defeat for the Hoosiers. However, what came out of that game was the optimism that IU would be able to compete on a weekly basis in the Big Ten. The same mindset exists for the Hoosiers on Saturday. “These are program-changing opportunities,” Allen said. Ohio State rolls into Bloomington as the sixth-ranked team in the

Singer-songwriter, poet and author Bob Dylan will perform at 8 p.m. Oct. 27 at the IU Auditorium. Known for his influential music and literature that addressed political and social issues of the 1960s, Dylan has received Grammy, Academy and Golden Globe awards. Along with being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Dylan was also presented the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Nobel Prize for Literature. Much of Dylan’s most wellknown works date back to the 1960s when many of his songs, including “The Times They Are a-Changin” and “Blowin’ in the Wind,” became anthems for civil rights, anti-war and counterculture movements. Tickets for the show will go on pre-sale at 1 p.m. Sept. 12 for IU email members and will be open to the general public at 10 a.m. Sept. 13. Tickets will be available on www. bobdylan.com, the Ticketmaster website or at the IU Auditorium box office, which is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Ticket prices range from $59.50 to $89.50. Students can save $25 by buying a student ticket at the IU Auditorium box office only with a valid student ID. Ticket sales are limited to two per person. Bob Dylan & His Band also performed at IU in 2009 and 2017, when Mavis Staples, a prominent R&B gospel singer and civil rights activist, visited as a special guest.
