Why is news important to you and what is the first major news event you remember?
“I love news! My parents had home delivery of the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and our local paper every day so reading the newspaper, including the comics, was an important part of my morning routine, even as a young child. The biggest news events from my childhood that I clearly remember are the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion and the murder of John Lennon.” — Jay Bernhardt, Dean of the Moody College of Communication
