Some news from Media Nation world headquarters

I am honored and pleased to report that I have been officially awarded tenure at Northeastern and have been promoted to the rank of associate professor. I’ve been confident this was coming for the past six weeks, but it wasn’t official until I received a letter from the provost’s office Wednesday.

This has literally been a 10-year quest for me — one year as an adjunct, three as visiting faculty and then six on the tenure track. I’m filled with gratitude for all the support and help I received along the way.

    Congratulations, Dan. Tenure is a high bar in academia, and a grueling process to go through. Now you can just sit back and use the same lecture notes every year until you retire – just kidding.

    Congratulations. I hope your students benefit from your teaching as much as I have benefited from your writings about journalism.

  10. Dan, Northeastern granted you tenure, but your future students even more. I hope the media critic in you sharpens them for many more years.
