NORTH CAROLINA MEDIA & JOURNALISM HALL OF FAME

WELCOME On behalf of the students, faculty, staff and alumni of the UNC School of Media and Journalism, I’m pleased to welcome you to the inaugural gala for the North Carolina Media and Journalism Hall of Fame. We are grateful for your support of our school.

When Dean Emeritus Richard Cole conceived of the Hall of Fame more than three decades ago, we were a School of Journalism, and his aim was to recognize outstanding journalists with ties to North Carolina. Some of those he thought deserved to be recognized were born in the state yet spent their careers elsewhere.

Others had exceptional achievements closer to home at newspapers, magazines and radio and television stations across the state.

Journalism, Advertising and Public Relations Halls of Fame along with five 2017 honorees.

As we reflect on the past contributions of Hall of Famers, there is no question they have shaped their professions.

Some of the companies they worked for have combined with others, grown and diversified or have changed so much as to become unrecognizable. Many have become influential global brands. Increasingly, honorees are leaders of pioneering media companies that did not exist a decade ago.

It is a privilege to share with our students the legacy and ongoing promise of all our honorees, who not only exemplify the best of their professions but also provide shining examples of what can be achieved Like many good ideas, this one initially met through quality storytelling, adaptability with some resistance. Yet Richard managed and innovation. As media and the related professions continue to evolve, those to line up support and launched the N.C. touchstones of inspiration will become even Journalism Hall of Fame in 1981. more valuable to our students, as well as to By the time the N.C.

Now that we have once again adapted to the changing marketplace and become the School of Media and Journalism, it is only fitting that the Halls of Fame evolve as well.

Tonight, the newly constituted N.C. Media and Journalism Hall of Fame will recognize SUSAN KING Dean, UNC School of Media and Journalism all those previously inducted into the NORTH CAROLINA MEDIA & JOURNALISM HALL OF FAME

PRESIDENT OF EMARKETER

Over the course of the last 30 years Lisa Church has been a writer, agitator, entrepreneur and publisher. Her first job after graduating from the University of North Carolina, in 1976, was with the Chapel Hill News, at a salary of $89 a week; she has done better since.

Her grandfather, an immigrant, worked in the Texas oil fields in the mid-twentieth century. He saw how the oil was full of dirt when it reached the surface, and invented a valve that used centrifugal force to separate the dirt from the oil, clarifying it, and today that valve is used in every oil well in the world. Church clarifies ideas.

LISA CHURCH NORTH CAROLINA MEDIA & JOURNALISM HALL OF FAME

She gravitated toward French Studies as an undergraduate, which means she can tell you everything you need to know about the French Revolution. But since graduating from Kenan-Flagler Business School her career has been about helping us understand the 4th Industrial Revolution, which we are experiencing at this very moment. This revolution is less about technology than it is about explaining how to use it. Lisa Church is in the vanguard of the explainers. From Advent Software to Compliance Tools and finally, and especially, eMarketer, she has taken the three-ring circus that is the Internet and separated the dirt from the oil. We know more because of her.

All this happened by taking advantage of the luck that came her way. She had no goals, she has no brand, and, according to her, has never worked a day in her life. “I love what I do,” she says.

“I thrive on change. I want to see what happens when I pull this string.” Somehow, she has always pulled the right ones. Now all she wants is to work with smart, nice people. And a dog. She really wants a dog.

CHAIRMAN OF BLOOMBERG LP

Peter Grauer was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and attended the University of North Carolina from 1964 – 1968, four of the most turbulent and exciting years in its history.

The fight for civil rights and equal rights was being fought right in front of him. Along with a B.A. in English and a ferocious work ethic, he took this experience with him, becoming a champion of inclusion and diversity in one of the most successful businesses on the planet, Bloomberg, L.P., where he is presently Chairman of the Board. Prior to Bloomberg he was managing director of Credit Suisse, from 2000 – 2002, and for almost 20 years managing director of Donaldson, Lufkin and Jenrette.

Despite his phenomenal success, Grauer remains a self-effacing man who attributes the bulk of his achievements to serendipity and the good people he’s met on his journey. From his early days at Citibank in 1969 to his current position at Bloomberg, he can name eight or nine people who have, for some crazy reason, taken a chance on him. He then goes on to become captain or director or president or chairman of almost every organization he has ever become a part of.

PETER GRAUER NORTH CAROLINA MEDIA & JOURNALISM HALL OF FAME

And yet it’s true: odd, unforeseen circumstances have changed his life. He was held back a year in high school, repeating 10th grade, and that gave him an extra year to mature. He looks back at that decision as the most important he ever made — staying back to move ahead. Later he met Michael Bloomberg because their daughters happened to go to the same horse camp. So, will repeating 10th grade, having a daughter and getting her a horse mean that everything will turn out as well for you as they have for him? Doubtfully. But try it. It can’t hurt.

PRESIDENT AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF BOONEOAKLEY

David Oakley is a writer, entrepreneur, advertising genius and a wildman, not necessarily in that order.

He was born in Creedmoor, North Carolina, the son of two artists, potters, who he realizes now may have been actual hippies. “Everyone thought we were crazy,” he says, but it’s the kind of crazy that has served him well in the non compos mentis world of advertising. Case in point: on the sign on the front door of BooneOakley, the firm he founded in 2000, his name is upside down.

Not counting dogs, BooneOakley has 23 employees. But dogs seem to be an important part of the ethos there, a sort of symbol of what makes this agency different from his corporate counterparts. Some of his best campaigns have come from melding his own creativity and intuition with the conversations he has with his clients. He’s a good listener. He loves what BooneOakley did with Bojangles’; so do we.

DAVID OAKLEY NORTH CAROLINA MEDIA & JOURNALISM HALL OF FAME

Even though he created a thriving business from scratch, Oakley is, at heart, what they call a creative. He keeps it fresh. “I never feel like I’ve made it. Every day is a clean sheet of paper.” Staying hungry: this appears to be the single most important quality successful people share. That and finding joy in their work, work not being work at all, but play.

Oakley plays with the best of them.

Thinking back to the influence his parents had on him, potters working with the most elemental medium there is: the earth. Clay.

So immersed in what they made they came home covered in it.

“Because of them, I always wanted to be an artist,” he says. “Just a cleaner one.”

RETIRED PRESIDENT AND PUBLISHER OF THE NEWS & OBSERVER

The night his grandfather was born the Texas skies opened up and a great rain fell. The wind and the water took trees, houses, whole neighborhoods away with it, and the only light came from lightening strikes and fires. But the child was fine. They named him Orage; it’s French, meaning storm.

The oldest of seven children, Orage Quarles III knows how to survive a storm: it’s in his blood. He’s made a career guiding his newspapers through every storm they’ve encountered. From Colorado to California, California to the Carolinas, he steered a steady ship.

His last challenge, and greatest success, was at The News & Observer, in Raleigh, what he calls his “destination paper.” He became publisher in 2000, just as The N&O was beginning to feel the encroaching digitalization of the world.

He made the decision to concentrate on what the paper did best: reporting on state government, sports and investigative reporting. Arts and business took a hit, but they found a home online. He did the nearly impossible, blending the new with the old, changing as the world changed.

ORAGE III QUARLES NORTH CAROLINA MEDIA & JOURNALISM HALL OF FAME

In high school, when he started in the business, newspapers were still printed in hot metal. When computers took over a lot of people lost their jobs, including him. But he got back in the game, a game he thinks will never go away, even though he stopped playing it in 2016. “Print will survive,” he says. “There’s a light at the end of the tunnel, and it’s not a train.” He says it like he means it. You can hear him smile, even on the telephone. You believe him.

PUBLISHER OF THE NEW YORK TIMES AND CHAIRMAN OF THE NEW YORK TIMES COMPANY

ARTHUR SULZBERGER JR NORTH CAROLINA MEDIA & JOURNALISM HALL OF FAME

Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr. became publisher of The New York Times in 1992, but before that he did almost everything else.

From 1974 to 1976 he was a reporter for the Raleigh Times, Raleigh being the preeminent training ground for all the best newsmen.

He worked as a correspondent in London and Washington, D.C., as a Metro Reporter for The New York Times in 1981, and from there worked in everything from production to corporate planning.

After becoming publisher, he guided The Times through its most transformative and tumultuous era — the digital revolution — and in 1993 he published something no man at The Times had ever had the guts to do: color photographs.

But then, Sulzberger is a colorful man. Though his devotion is to the institution his family has published for five generations, his passions are wide-ranging and audacious. He has been a rock climber and roller blader, a rider of motorcycles, a camper in Antarctica, and, perhaps most chillingly, he takes the subway to work. Sometimes he walks. At the office he takes the same elevator you would, eats in the cafeteria, and presides over his 3,000 employees with grace and warmth. Though The Times is publicly owned it is at heart a family business, and Sulzberger is its patriarch.

With 3 million paying subscribers, adding more in the 4th quarter of 2016 than in all of 2013 and 2014, and a web presence unmatched anywhere, The Times is poised to continue its legacy as a leading purveyor of news, real news, for a long, long time, in no small part because of Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Jr. When one of his reporters writes something that puts her in the line of fire, he has her back. “It’s not your fault,” he likes to say. “It’s just your turn.” It’s his turn tonight.

The school considers communicators to be on the front lines of the effort to keep democracy strong and instills in students the responsibility to be ethical, evidencebased and audience focused.

Students, alumni, faculty and staff are a driving force in the industry and the academy, redefining what it means to be strategic communicators, journalists, media professionals and scholars. They have a track record of dominating national competitions. No school has more Hearst Collegiate National Championships. No school has more top national research dissertation awards. Faculty and former students have earned more than 25 Pulitzer Prizes for investigative reporting, political cartoons, international reporting, commentary and public service.

NORTH CAROLINA MEDIA & JOURNALISM HALL OF FAME

FOLD

The UNC School of Media and Journalism prepares graduates to ignite the public conversation. It does this by educating and inspiring highly motivated, innovative, creative problem solvers to communicate effectively through multi-platform content.

Its students are well-versed in storytelling, critical thinking, and data and analytics.

They gain skills to be nimble, adaptable and marketable in a dynamic digital media environment.

Powered by the prestigious Park Fellowships, the school’s master’s and Ph.D. programs are influencing the academy and creating thought leaders for industry. Graduate students are exploring the nature of communication and how changing media technologies and practices affect our lives as citizens in a democracy, as human beings with health needs and as consumers in a competitive marketplace.

The school’s tagline, Start Here/Never Stop, captures the idea that what students learn and experience at the School of Media and Journalism prepares them for successful careers and transitions in a dynamic media environment. Students are taking what they learn at the school and applying it in the field each and every day.

The School of Media and Journalism has ambitious plans on the horizon, including a major renovation to its current home in Carroll Hall. Having recently completed a feasibility study, generously funded by the Triad Foundation, the school will seek funding to fulfill its vision of a dynamic learning environment that works for students and faculty. Among other essential improvements, it will offer pedagogical advances and collaborative spaces that better prepare students for team-based communication realities.

All those associated with the UNC School of Media and Journalism are helping create a new world of communication where the future is wide open and opportunities abound.
