■ Sandra Rowe will address
commercialization and its
effects on media integrity
By Adam Jude
Oregon Daily Emerald
Considered one of the nation’s
most distinguished journalists,
Oregonian editor Sandra Rowe
will discuss “Synergy and the
Journalist’s Soul” as the featured
speaker of the Ruhl Symposium,
an annual event hosted by the
School of Journalism and Com
munication.
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.”
