Former Denver Post editor Greg Moore will teach at CU this fall

Former Denver Post editor Greg Moore has been named Hearst Visiting Professor of Professional Practice at the University of Colorado and will teach a high-level seminar on the Boulder campus this fall.

Beginning in October, Moore will teach a five-week seminar, “Deadlines and Disruptions: New Issues in the News,” a one-credit course for upper-division undergraduates and graduate students enrolled in the College of Media, Communication and Information. Moore’s seminar will tackle the challenges facing public service journalism in an era that demands 24/7 coverage at the same time it is resource-starved. With a mixture of class discussion, lectures, readings and visits from professionals, Moore will cover both the right way to produce quality high-impact public journalism and the difficult realities.

He also will partner with faculty to teach sessions in two courses, “Principles of Journalism” and “Digital Journalism.”

His schedule also includes several public lectures. The first, “Putting the Watchdog to Sleep,” will be held during homecoming weekend, at 11 a.m. on Oct. 14 in Old Main Chapel. The talk is free and open to the public. For more information, visit colorado.edu/cmci/gregmoore and RSVP at cmci@colorado.edu.

“The future of journalism is bright and journalism is needed more than ever,” Moore said in a news release. “Resisting the pressure to go for the easy story, continuing to do what’s hard and doing it the right way is what I am going to be pushing in the classroom. I look forward to the challenge and reward of working with the next generation of journalists.”
