Chris Joyner writes in an email: “Longtime UGA [University of Georgia] j-school prof and former AP exec Conrad Fink died at the end of last week. A bunch of his former students (one of whom I married) have started a Google map to chart his influence on the profession. Thought you might find it interesting.”

Great man, great professor. No nonsense, sometimes it seemed like all the knowledge in the world, and he believed in his students.
