NEWSPAPER ISSUES TO BE TOPIC OF TALK
Alf Goodykoontz, executive editor of Richmond Newspapers Inc., will be editor-in-residence on the Emory & Henry College campus Monday and Tuesday and give a talk on issues facing newspapers.
His lecture Monday at 7:30 p.m. in Wiley Hall is on "The Role of Newspapers in a Multimedia Society."
He will visit classes and meet with mass-communications students.
A Radford native, Goodykoontz attended Emory & Henry from 1946 to 1948. He returned to Radford as sportswriter for the Radford News-Journal. He entered the Army in 1950 and, after completing his service, became a reporter with the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
In the following years, he moved up the ranks at the paper holding positions including women's news editor, assistant state editor and special-projects editor. He became managing editor in 1969 and executive editor in 1982.
He is a past president of the Society for Professional Journalists which, in 1973, chose him for its George Mason Award in recognition of service to Virginia journalism and, in 1982, awarded him its Wells Key, the highest honor it gives.
He has also been treasurer of the Associated Press Managing Editors Association, the first chairman of the Virginia United Press International Advisory Board, a past chairman of the Virginia Associated Press Newspapers, a Pulitzer Prize jurist and judge for the Scripps-Howard editorial competition.
