Journalism is a career where one can do something positive, make a difference and engage in public service, the Pulitzer-Prize winning editor of the San Antonio Express-News told more than 100 high school and college journalism students Oct. 5.

Mike Leary presented the 34th annual Edith Fox King Journalism Lecture sponsored by this college’s journalism program in visual arts. His talk was part of Charting Your Course, a workshop that drew students and teachers from seven local high schools.

The lecture was part of the annual Newspaper Week observance sponsored by the journalism program and the student chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. Other activities included a workshop for San Antonio area high school students.
