David Greising '82 Embraces "Alternative Way to Do Good Journalism"

November 24, 2009

November 24, 2009, Greencastle, Ind. — In the newspaper industry, "The business trends aren't friendly, and I understand the need that management felt to change gears and try something different," David Greising tells the New York Times. Greising, an award-winning journalist and 1982 graduate of DePauw University, recently left the Chicago Tribune to join the upstart, Internet-based Chicago News Cooperative.

Greising, who is seen in a photo accompanying the Times' story, adds, "This new work isn't about trying to get even with anybody. It's about creating an alternative way to do good journalism."
