J-SCHOOL GRAD GETS BIG GIG
Elizabeth Vargas will co-anchor ABC's World News Tonight

The Missourian article "MU journalism graduate gets ABC anchor spot" by Jemimah Noonoo reports on Elizabeth Vargas, who attended the University of Missouri's School of Journalism and graduated in 1984. Vargas was named as one of two anchors assigned to replace Peter Jennings, who died earlier this year, on ABC's World News Tonight. Bob Woodruff is the other anchor.
I think it will be interesting to see, down the line, how many of us, out of the people who are in the J-school right now, will be getting these amazing jobs in the field of journalism. Most of us will probably wind up at small-town papers, magazines, radio stations, television stations, or advertising/PR firms. Then again, some of us will be at ABC, CNN, The New York Times, Time, Variety, Entertainment Weekly, or other big companies and publications in the field of journalism.
