Rowe’s lecture, which will be held Wednesday at 4 p.m. in the Adelaide Church Memorial Reading Room of Knight Library, will focus on “the tensions be tween the changes in commer cialization and journalistic val ues," she said. Journalism Associate Dean Alan Stavit sky said the symposium serves as a learning ex perience for students and faculty. “This is a wonderful opportunity for an ex change of ideas between media profession als and students,” Stavitsky said. “We’re looking for people who make a difference on the nation al scene, and Sandy Rowe is clearly doing that.” Stavitsky emphasized that the symposium is more than just a speech. Rowe will also be avail able to talk with anyone interest ed, he said. As the former president of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, Rowe directed a project that analyzed the credibility of the nation’s leading information suppliers. She said her inten tions are to help editors apply the highest journalistic integrity. Today, more newspapers are “owned by larger and larger com panies that don’t necessarily have a journalism background,” said Rowe, a member of the Pulitzer Prize Board. “Some [of the speech] is my view of the situa tion. I hope it’s useful to other journalists ... and that they do not get so sucked up in the world of business and commerce that they forget the business of news, which is to serve the community.” Peter Bhatia, Oregonian exec utive editor, said Rowe’s com mitment and thorough leader ship makes her one of the finest editors in the country. “She has a great passion for newspapers remaining a vital part of American life,” Bhatia said. After coming to The Oregon ian in 1993, Rowe reformatted the publication’s newsroom and increased local news coverage. The Portland-based newspaper, a 1999 Pulitzer Prize winner for explanatory reporting, is now considered one of the top 12 in the country, according to the Co lumbia Journalism Review. Rowe, a 1970 graduate of East Carolina University, also direct ed The Virginian-Pilot to a Pulitzer Prize Award in 1985 as executive editor. Established in 1975, the Ruhl Symposium was created in memory of Robert Ruhl, the Pulitzer Prize-winning editor and publisher of the Medford Mail Tribune, who died in 1967. The annual event is supported by Ruhl’s wife, the late Mabel Ruhl, who created an endow ment for the journalism school. “This is a great experience every year,” Stavitsky said. “There’s always some informa tion we’re getting that ends up in classes.” RO.
