MURFREESBORO — The
next edition of the “MTSU On the Record” radio program will delve into the topics
of journalism, the recording industry and electronic media communication.
Host Gina Logue’s interview with Ken Paulson, new dean of
MTSU’s College of Mass Communication and president of the First Amendment
Center in Nashville, will air from 5:30 to 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 23, and from 8
to 8:30 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 29, on WMOT-FM (89.5 and http://www.wmot.org).
“I think what we’ve lost sight of in this rush to technology
and cutting-edge concepts,” Paulson said of mass communication education, “is …
to teach ethics with the same passion we may have had at one point.”
Paulson,
who was on the team of journalists who founded USA Today
in 1982, served as
editor-in-chief of USA Today from 2004 to 2009. He previously
managed newsrooms in Westchester County, N.Y.; Green Bay, Wis.; Bridgewater,
N.J.; and at Florida Today in Brevard County, Fla. He is now a columnist on USA
Today’s board of contributors and writes about First Amendment issues and the
news media.
A member of The Recording Academy and a former music
journalist, Paulson is active in the Nashville music community, serving as vice
chair of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, a member of the Music City
Music Council convened by Mayor Karl Dean and a Leadership Music board and
executive committee member.
