| Salute
to Orange County Journalism Continues - This exhibit, which provides
a trip down the memory lane of Orange County journalism, will remain
available to viewers in the Library’s Atrium Gallery through at least
March 15, 2001. The exhibit allows visitors to walk through meticulous
recreations of a pre-electronic era newsroom and an old-fashioned
newsstand, complete with manual typewriters, Teletype machine, and
Linotype printer. Major headlines on old newspapers impress the viewer
with historic events and natural disasters. Local journalists and
organizations contributed photographs and memorabilia to bring to life
bygone days as well as the news media that captured them for us.
Communications faculty on campus have encouraged their students to view
the exhibit and have even incorporated it into class assignments.
The exhibit opened last
October with a major reception honoring important figures in Orange County
media, both present and past. After that, it was the occasion of a reunion
of editors and others involved with the Daily Titan, the CSUF
student newspaper, over the years. The special exhibit was put together by
the Library’s Director of Exhibits, Veronica Chiang, with the
assistance of the Orange County News Media Committee, which included Rick
Pullen, Dean of the CSUF College of Communications, and members of the
Orange County Press Club.
Objets
extraordinaires
- Veronica Chiang is keeping details of the next exhibit close to the
vest, but she has given it the provisional title, “Objets
extraordinaires” (extraordinary objects). Scheduled for late March or
early April, the exhibit will consist of some objects fashioned by nature
and others of human creation, that provoke thought or capture the
imagination. Those who know Veronica’s ability to pull rabbits out of
hats are anticipating this next venture with keen interest.
