Retirement from Poynter: Thank You Slideshow, 2014

When I retired from the Poynter Institute for Media Studies, I was given a wonderful sendoff — a lunch in the institute’s great hall in December 2014, and lots of tributes, including this slide show created by David Shedden, the institute’s librarian at the time. My retirement officially took effect Jan. 1, 2015.
