Richard Ganahl left the news fields of Missouri for the halls of academe of northwest Pennsylvania about 15 years ago.Ganahl and his brother, Dennis, bought a series of semi-weekly and weekly papers around the St. Louis, Ozark and Kansas City areas for a number of years before he decided to go back to college.
That led to his current job of teaching courses such as PR, media research and online courses at the Pennsylvania State University, Bloomsburg campus, for the past 15 years.
It is the longest job I've had in my life, Ganahl said and laughed while attending the Summer Seminar in convergent journalism at the University of South Carolina.
The journalism and academic fields can be a bit transitory and Ganahl acknowledged that as he talked about the winding road that led him to his current job.
"I think it's like the old tramp printer style," he said. "Journalists have that great storytelling tradition."
