April 17, 2009 - Jane Pauley Returns to Indiana to Celebrate 100th Anniversary of SPJ (Montage)

"One way the news media can get its niche back is to get straight again," award-winning journalist Jane Pauley told an audience at DePauw University. Delivering the keynote address at the 100th anniversary celebration of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ), which was founded at DePauw, Pauley lamented the fact that the line between news and entertainment has blurred in recent years. "When you're competing with entertainment programs, well, the entertainment programs are probably going to do better. So, if you do what they're not doing, reliably and well," the results may be positive.

Pauley told the audience gathered in Meharry Hall of historic East College -- just up the stairs from where SPJ was founded as Sigma Delta Chi in 1909.
