Former longtime Denver Post Editor-in-Chief Greg Moore will join the 彩民宝典 for the fall semester as a Hearst Visiting Professor of Professional Practice to teach a seminar at the .

鈥淕reg Moore is one of the most esteemed editors in American journalism and we are extremely honored that he has chosen to share his considerable talents with our students,鈥� said CMCI Founding Dean Lori Bergen. 鈥淕iven Greg鈥檚 encyclopedic knowledge of newspaper journalism, his leadership skills and his effervescent personality, he鈥檚 sure to become an instant favorite with our students.鈥�

Beginning in October, the five-week seminar, 鈥淒eadlines and Disruptions: New Issues in the News,鈥� will be offered as a 1-credit course to upper-division undergraduates and graduate students enrolled in the college. Moore鈥檚 seminar will tackle the challenges facing public service journalism in an era that demands 24/7 coverage at the same time it is resource-starved. With a mixture of class discussion, lectures, readings and visits from professionals, Moore will cover both the right way to produce quality high-impact public journalism and the difficult realities.

鈥淚鈥檓 excited to be a part of Dean Bergen's vision for the new school. The future of journalism is bright and journalism is needed more than ever,鈥� Moore said. 鈥淩esisting the pressure to go for the easy story, continuing to do what's hard and doing it the right way is what I am going to be pushing in the classroom. I look forward to the challenge and reward of working with the next generation of journalists.鈥�

In addition to the seminar, Moore will partner with faculty to teach sessions in two courses, Principles of Journalism and Digital Journalism, and give several public lectures. The first, 鈥淧utting the Watchdog to Sleep,鈥� is free and open to the public and will be held at 11 a.m. on Oct. 14 in the Old Main Chapel. See for more information and to RSVP.

Moore established a strong reputation for upholding a high standard in breaking news and public service journalsm during his 14 years at The Denver Post and 16 years at The Boston Globe.

During his time at The Denver Post, the newsroom earned four Pulitzer Prizes, including one for breaking news coverage of the tragic Aurora Theater shooting. He also directed coverage for the historic 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver and oversaw many other high-profile stories.

A multi-part series examining deficiencies in Colorado's welfare system, titled 鈥淔ailed to Death,鈥� resulted in numerous reforms to improve the state's system. A series in 2012 on the growing problem of heroin in Denver was a harbinger of the explosion in heroin deaths across the nation that today has resulted in government spending to halt the epidemic.

A veteran of breaking news, Moore helped direct coverage of The Boston Globe鈥檚 Sept. 11, 2001, terror attack and supervised coverage of Nelson Mandela's historic visit to Boston in 1990 shortly after his release from a South Africa prison.

Other notable work during his time at The Boston Globe include helping launch the investigation of pedophile priests in the Catholic Church that resulted in the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service and was later memorialized in the Oscar-winning movie, Spotlight. Moore also supervised听coverage of the Charles Stuart murder case in 1989 that revealed the tender underbelly of race relations in Boston after a suburban white man falsely accused a black intruder of killing his pregnant wife. Months later the man committed suicide after his own brother revealed the husband plotted and carried out the murder.

鈥淚鈥檓 delighted to have someone of Greg Moore鈥檚 stature and experience join us,鈥� said Paul Voakes, chair of the journalism department. 鈥淛ournalists and educators alike are struggling to understand how journalism can emerge from its current turmoil, and no one has greater insights 鈥榝rom the inside鈥� than Greg Moore.鈥�
