Today the new Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication officially opened for classes in downtown Phoenix.
As a Cronkite School alumnus (class of ‘01) who knows well the state of the old school in Tempe, I was thrilled with the rare privilege of checking out the new facility last week as ASU was putting the finishing touches on it. What I saw left me a little envious of the students who will embark on a news media career in those halls. OK … a lot envious.
