Dean Jim Atwater announced that the School would be home of "New Directions for News," a national think tank that explored strategies for journalism's future by brainstorming ideas with a variety of news media professionals and experts both in and outside of the news industry. Dorothy Jurney, a Knight-Ridder editor, and Jean Gaddy Wilson, BJ '66, a Missouri faculty member, headed the project, which initiated the first commercial online newspaper and one of the first Web sites to appear on the Internet.
