I have seen the future of TV news and it is promising – IF the students like those we just sent off in commencement ceremonies last weekend are given their chance to shine. The storytelling and creative work of the graduating class of 2005 at the University of Minnesota School of Journalism & Mass Communication was the best I’ve seen. The “News Team” was a group we’ll remember for a long time. And I hope to see their work on the air for years to come. Franchise, Tour Guide, Scoop, Ghost, Sarah I-Won’t-Change-My-Name, Rabbi(t), Green Bay Girl, Crispy Lacey, Clark Kent, Jesse James, SS, Big Dan and many more. Don’t forget my Al McGuire stories. They are the essence of life. Seashells and balloons. And remember, “It’s not the gorillas that get you; it’s the ducks nibbling at your ankles.”
