Back when D:F/M’s journalism effort had the look of promise even though it was only a mirage.
Despite behind-the-scenes lobbying from Tami Gold, AKA A Power Behind the Throne, (not seen in the picture above), President Raab funded the department’s journalism lab for undergraduates. D:F/M Powers That Be had been hoping to have the funds used for a Digital Palace that former Chair Stuart Ewen wanted for “his” MFA/IMA program.
Nevertheless, the J-effort shriveled over the years and now makes one think of one those vampire movie victims drained of blood. More about this later.
