NOTE: Terrence Moore graduated from Miami University in 1978 as an
economics major, he immediately joined the Cincinnati Enquirer for about
two years, then a couple of years for a newspaper in San Francisco, and
for the past 20+ years for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the largest
circulation newspaper in the southeastern United States. His career
was been in sports journalism, he now is a columnist. Additionally, I
understand he appears on ESPN Classics. While at Miami U, he worked for
the MIAMI STUDENT newspaper, mostly about sports. He commended to me
that the student paper was like a real newspaper in 1974-78, much
different that it is today. Clearly, he is not at all pleased with our
local student newspaper today. Based on my telephone conversation with
him, he does have pleasant memories of Miami University otherwise. He
was here in June for alumni weekend, for a meeting with a group of
African-American alums.
In his preparation for this column, Moore interviewed Professor Phil
Shriver and then called me. We are both quoted in the article.
I am pleased to be included in this column. Overall, I think it makes
an excellent point and is well thought out and written.
