Documentary on JSK in progress

A University of Akron graduate student is preparing a documentary on John S. Knight.

The Times of John S. Knight is a documentary being produced by Paul R. Jacoway and The University of Akron.

Jacoway is a graduate student in the College of Communication and under the advisement of Dr. Kathleen Endres. The project will chronicle Knight's life and contributions through his Editor's Notebook columns and parallel journalism/news events. Contacts are being established at the Beacon Journal for location shooting and with the JSK Foundation for further exposure.

“The project is in the research stage now,” Jacoway said.. “We will be shooting in the summer and fall. Editing will be completed in early 2008.”

Anyone who would like to participate is more than welcome. You can reach Paul Jacoway at paul_jacoway@yahoo.com, 330-374-0237. 715 W. Market St. Apt. 412. Akron, OH 44303.

Blogger Note: Some months ago it was suggested on this blog that it was time for a documentary to update the Knight Ridder history to include its demise last year. . Little or no interest has been shown for that idea. Perhaps Jacoway’s documentary might bring the history up to date.
