Join us as friends, family and former colleagues gather to celebrate McCulloch’s legacy and what his example means for journalism today. The event will be hosted by Will Hearst and Professor Lowell Bergman.

McCulloch, who passed away earlier this year, was one of the most renowned newsmen of the 20th century. He was bureau chief in Vietnam for Time-Life and then bureau chief in Washington. He was also managing editor of the Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Examiner and Sacramento Bee, and then executive editor of the McClatchy newspapers.

Marlena Telvick, deputy director of the Investigative Reporting Program and alum Jason Felch (’04) co-wrote the definitive article on Frank for the American Journalism Review in 2004. Read about his remarkable legacy and how he rescued Bergman during a $30M libel suit, here.
