Two Journalists Inducted into Hall of Fame
Two members of the Creighton community, the Rev. Don Doll, S.J., professor emeritus of photojournalism, and alumnus the late John “Jack” McBride, BA’48, were inducted into the Omaha Press Club’s Journalists of Excellence Hall of Fame on June 6.
- Fr. Doll has received national and international recognition for his photojournalism, including most recently the Photographic Society of America’s 2014 International Understanding Through Photography Award. He has been featured in National Geographic and a number of Day in the Life of… books. Fr. Doll was a faculty member in the College of Arts and Sciences for 45 years. He continues to hold the Charles and Mary Heider Endowed Jesuit Faculty Chair.
- McBride, who died in 2008, was given the award posthumously. A pioneer in television, cable, satellite and interactive computer technologies, McBride was widely regarded as an innovative visionary for founding and expanding Nebraska Educational Telecommunications (NET). He also helped several states and 25 countries launch educational programs and public broadcasting. McBride received the Alumni Merit Award from the College of Arts and Sciences in 1972.
