Hans Meyer has been named the next director of the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism in the Scripps College of Communication at Ohio University, taking over for Eddith Dashiell, who is retiring in June after five years leading the school.
“I am humbled and awed to be named director of this renowned journalism school. As an academic, you always talk about ‘standing on the shoulders of giants.’ Well, I get to do that now as the next director,” said Meyer. “It will be hard to live up to the example of previous directors and mentors I've personally interacted with, such as Eddith Dashiell, Bob Stewart and Tom Hodson, while also furthering the legacy of those who founded the school. I'm grateful for the support and trust my faculty colleagues have placed in me, and I will ensure we work together to build this program.”
