Marc Lacey ’87, national editor for The New York Times and the first Distinguished Visiting Journalist in a new College of Arts and Sciences program, shared advice with students, visited classes and learned about faculty research during a trip to campus Feb. 10-14.
“There’s not a single class I took at Cornell that I haven’t used in some sense or another as an editor,” Lacey said in a Feb. 11 Inside Journalism career conversation with students, hosted by Arts and Sciences Career Development. “I have a job in which I could be interviewing scientists or poets, all kinds of people, and I can sound like I know what I’m talking about.”
Lacey participated in a variety of classes, including two government seminars on Russian politics; The Truth About Fake News (GOVT 4000), a class led by assistant professors Bryn Rosenfeld and Alexandra Cirone; and an introductory class in American studies taught by Noliwe Rooks, the W.E.B. Du Bois Professor of Literature, professor of Africana studies and director of the American Studies Program.
