00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.327
My greatest accomplishment at the Technician was being named All-American Newspaper,

2
00:00:06.327 --> 00:00:15.442
because that was something that they said couldn't be done, and "they" being the NC State faculty.

3
00:00:15.442 --> 00:00:21.790
Not all of them said that, Dr. Kochersberger believed in us, but most of them said that it couldn't be done.

4
00:00:21.790 --> 00:00:32.253
It was worth it, and that's what we wanted to do. We wanted to show everybody, those thirty thousand students at NC State,

5
00:00:32.253 --> 00:00:45.122
that your newspaper was worth your student fees, that your newspaper was just as good as the product that's just down the street that has a full pledged journalism school,

6
00:00:45.122 --> 00:00:56.598
that your product, that's being put together by engineers, physicists, computer scientists, and a couple writing English majors, is just as good,

7
00:00:56.598 --> 00:01:02.717
and that's what we wanted to do. That was our proudest moment.
