Amid the type of fanfare expected from USC, President Niklas and Wallis Annenberg cut a ribbon today. The new Wallis Annenberg Hall, which includes a state of the art converged news room, drew donors and Annenberg alumni from as far back as the 1950s. The USC marching band kicked off proceedings. This piece gets immediate reactions from donors and alumni, some who stayed in journalism and others who did not. After years in the works, the social media reaction from those connected was immense, as is shown by the interviews here.
