PROGRAM DETAILS:

===="Renewing the Journalist's Creed"====

Almost 100 years ago, Walter Williams wrote, "I believe in the profession
of journalism." Can the journalists of the 21st Century make such a
statement? How are the challenges they face different from those of
previous generations, and what must they do for public-service journalism
to remain viable, relevant and accountable?

Fancher's talk and discussion with members of the Missouri School of
Journalism community will take place in the Fred W. Smith Forum of the
Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute in Columbia, Mo., a state-of-the
art facility that is fast becoming one of the nation's premiere venues for
collaboration on the future of news and journalism.

Fancher retired from The Seattle Times last year, after 20 as executive
editor. During his tenure The Times won four Pulitzer Prizes and was a
Pulitzer finalists 13 other times.

A story about his retirement quoted a former deputy mayor and Boeing
executive as saying: "Under Mike, the paper was fearless about tackling
subjects it thought were important to the community. There were a lot of
people in the community who didn't like that. But, at the same time, the
paper was gutsy, and fearless in admitting when it made a mistake."

A competing editor said, "As a competitor, no one was tougher than
Fancher. He's incredibly creative on both the strategic, visionary level
and at the tactical street fights that are part of winning and losing
readers. The Seattle Times under Fancher was ahead of most newspapers in
figuring out how to thrive in an increasingly complex media environment.
The cornerstones were a comprehensive local news report, an emphasis on
public-service investigative reporting, and assembling a stable of
columnists and critics with singular, strong voices."
