By: Joe Strupp A new $5 million media center named for former Gannett Co. Inc. CEO and
USA Today founder Al Neuharth had a grand opening on Sept. 25 at the University of South Dakota, Neuharth's alma mater. The two-day event included a symposium of journalists and the unveiling of a 500- pound bronze bust of Neuharth.
The Freedom Forum, which was founded by Neuharth, helped fund the center, along with the University of South Dakota Foundation. The new site will include space for the campus newspaper, the Native American Journalists Association, as well as the university's Contemporary Media and Journalism Department.
