Professor John Nicholson prepared something special for his broadcasting class today, the chance to meet three legends in the profession which they are pursuing. Syracuse alums, Bob Costas, Herb Weisbaum and Dave Cohen dropped by to field questions from 16 awestruck pupils.
Weisbaum kicked things off. The Consumer Man spoke to the students about the evolution
of the media since the introduction of the internet. He was followed by Cohen, the former voice of the New York Yankees. Cohen presented to the students some of the harsh realities of being a journalist. Such as, having to travel and be away from your family, and move around from job to job. Bob Costas ended things. Costas spoke about how he was able to rise to prominence in the broadcasting world and some of the highlights of his career.
For aspiring journalists, meeting the three professionals with such impressive resumes was a once in a lifetime opportunity, and something they will not soon forget.
