Your Turn: Cheers, mate: goodbye to legendary correspondent, former visiting professor
May 16, 2007Kate Webb was not an academic, she was fond of telling us ' we who were her students at Ohio University in her year as the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism's visiting professional. At best, her curricula were slipshod; she forgot for weeks to give tests (she called them questionnaires) or gave two or three in a row, depending on when administrators were haranguing her for grades. Nonetheless I will remember her as one of the best professors I've ever had, in journalism or any other subject, because she brought into the classroom real, honest-to-God, capital-E Experience, and with it all, a manner of practical suggestions and instructions.
