This year's fellows to the Reham Al Farra Memorial Journalists’ Fellowship Programme, formerly known as the United Nations Department of Public Information Training Programme, visited Rochester, New York on Monday, Oct. 8 to interact with journalists and journalism students. SUNY Brockport was one of the places they visited. We had a discussion about their profession in my class, History of American Journalism under Dr. Kate Madden (the KMaddenNews.com). I interviewed Khan Sophirom who is from Cambodia.

The editors of The Stylus, SUNY Brockport's student paper.
Gisella Bayona Ponce, center, a TV journalist from Ecuador, explains how and why she turned down offers to host music television shows. She opted to host TV news instead and do investigative reports.
No, Nicole is not sleeping on the job (she's one of the writers of The Stylus). It's my fault why her picture came out this way. Dr. Madden, on the other hand, pays attention to the discussion.
