Wednesday Room Change & Guest Speaker

In-Depth Reporting Class:

Our 9:30 a.m. class tomorrow (Wednesday, Sept. 19) will be held in the Hall of Fame room in Gaylord Hall.
Our guest speaker is Ziva Branstetter, Projects & Investigative Editor for the Tulsa World.
I emailed you some bio info on Ziva and copies of some of her investigative work.
Please look over this material and come to class prepared to ask some questions.
Of the eight guest speakers I brought to campus last fall, five of whom were Pulitzer winners, Ziva was the most highly regarded by students. She can offer great ideas on how to conceive, plan and execute a big project story or feature.
She also is a good person to get to know if you have any potential interest in interning or working in Tulsa.
Thanks in advance for giving her a warm welcome.
