"Jack was inspired by the corruption-busting journalism of the early 70s, which led him to become a writer and editor of the student newspaper, the Jambar, at Youngstown State University. There, he forged lifelong friendships and established his passion for fearless reporting, most notably when he hitchhiked to Miami Beach, Florida, to cover the 1972 Democratic National Convention. That same journalistic spirit defined his 30 years at the Plain Dealer where he wrote with deep integrity, an unwavering commitment to the truth, and a conviction for giving a voice to the community."

The Youngstown Press Club has issued a statement supporting student journalists, after reporters from The Jambar were denied press credentials for President Donald Trump's campaign speech last week.

"The Youngstown Press Club is deeply concerned by the decision to deny press credentials to The Jambar, Youngstown State University’s student newspaper, for President Donald Trump’s campaign speech at the Covelli Centre in Youngstown on October 12.

"Student journalists are journalists. They play an important role in informing their campus communities and the public, gaining practical experience, and developing the skills and professional standards essential to a free press. Denying them access to cover a major political event deprives both student journalists and the public of an opportunity to hear, report, and evaluate news firsthand.

"Reports that student journalists at other colleges and universities across the country have also been denied credentials for Trump events heighten the concerns.

"As the President continues to participate in public events locally and across the country, student journalists must have a fair opportunity to apply for and receive press credentials under consistent, transparent, and viewpoint-neutral standards.

"The Youngstown Press Club supports the right of student journalists to pursue the news, ask questions, and report on public officials and political events without arbitrary barriers to access. A free press begins with access. Student journalists deserve a seat at the table, too.

"A vibrant democracy depends on an informed public and a press corps that includes the next generation of journalists."
