After 25 Years

Last night, we held an open house herefor members of the Class of 1983, Graduate School of Journalism, Columbia University. It was my class, and it’s our 25th Anniversary.

The class has done well. We have 5 Pulitzer Prize Winners out of a class of 180. And last night, nearly 100 people showed up.

Here are a few photos.

Congrats to all.

His work has included: The complete transitioning of The BBC's national network (UK) to a VJ-driven model, starting in 2002.

The construction of NYT Television, a New York Times Company, and the largest producer of non-fiction television in the US. Rosenblum was both the founder and President of NYT TV, (all based on this paradigm (1996-1998).

    What an enjoyable and inspiring evening. It was great to reconnect (or connect for the first time )with so many from our class. Thank you so much for hosting the lovely soiree.

    The years may not have been kind for all, but they sure have been interesting, if the stories shared Saturday night are any indication. Great bash and as the Irish say — great crack — (ie. conversation).
