Indiana University Journalism Professor Emeritus John Ahlhauser drew on his award-winning professional experience during his 20 years in the classroom at his alma mater, where he had received his master’s in journalism in 1973 and a doctorate in 1978.
As a photojournalist, Ahlhauser covered presidential inaugurations and the civil rights movement for his hometown paper, the Milwaukee Journal. He tackled an array of topics, from politics and religion to homes, furniture and fashion.
But the paper also sent him on the road to document national events. Some of his notable assignments included the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, the inaugurations of Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon, the 1964 civil rights movements in Mississippi and unemployed coal miners in West Virginia.
Ahlhauser supported the profession through his work with national organizations. He has held every office at the National Press Photographers Association, including a year as president from 1967 to 1968. Ahlhauser co-founded the Stan Kalish Picture Editing Workshop in 1990, serving as its chair for the next eight years. In retirement, he was president of the National Press Photographers Foundation.
Ahlhauser has been honored for his work in both journalism and academia. In 1977, he received NPPA’s highest honor, the Joseph Sprague Award. The organization also presented him with its Robin Garland teaching award in 1981. An alumnus of Marquette University, Ahlhauser received the school’s ByLine award in 1985. In 1991, he was inducted into the Milwaukee Press Club’s Media Hall of Fame, and he has won service awards from the Wisconsin, Indiana and Kentucky news photographers associations.
Ahlhauser retired to Milwaukee, where, in a continuation of his dedication to social justice, he volunteered with an outreach program for inmates in the Milwaukee County Jail. He visited every Monday night for seven years, until declining health prevented him from continuing.

Joseph Angotti’s career took him from student news director of Indiana University’s WFIU newscast to senior vice president for news at NBC and the chairmanship of the broadcast program at Northwestern University.
Born a bakery manager’s son in Gary, Indiana, Angotti received his undergraduate degree in education from IU in 1961. He had taken a few journalism courses as an undergraduate, and he cultivated his interest in journalism further by earning his master’s degree in telecommunications at IU.
In 1962, Angotti landed his first job in television at WHAS-TV in Louisville. From that point on, his rise in the industry was rapid. In 1966, he moved to WMAQ-TV, Chicago’s NBC-owned affiliate, where he was both producer and on-air reporter for its Gary bureau. In 1968, he became an NBC network producer, covering the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where he was tear-gassed during the street protests.
In 1972, Angotti was promoted to a producer slot in New York City with NBC Nightly News. He soon became executive producer of the weekend newscast with anchor Tom Brokaw. Angotti was awarded a national Emmy in 1975 for co-producing a series about world hunger and was chief political producer for the network’s election coverage in 1976. Working with John Chancellor, anchor of the weeknight NBC Nightly News, Angotti was the newscast’s executive producer from 1977 to 1980.
Angotti later was named the senior vice president for news at NBC, overseeing coverage of presidential conventions and debates, space shuttle launches and landings, and the fall of the Berlin Wall. In June 1989, Angotti was in Bloomington for IU professor Richard Yoakam’s retirement party, but had to rush off to return to New York to oversee NBC’s coverage of the massacre in Tiananmen Square. He was an early protégé of Yoakam, who had developed and launched IU’s broadcast journalism program.
In 1992, Angotti left NBC and formed his own company, which produced coverage of events such as the 25th Anniversary Gala of the Metropolitan Opera. He also wrote, filmed and edited a series of programs in Eastern Europe, From Marx to Markets, which were filmed, edited and broadcast in Eastern Europe.
Next, Angotti took his knowledge to the classroom. From 1993 to1998, he was the chair of communication studies for the University of Miami’s School of Communication and was founding director of its Center for Advancement of Modern Media.
In 1999, Angotti was named chair of the broadcast program at Northwestern’s Medill School of Journalism and taught there for the following six years. He also founded the Northwestern News Network, which produced weekly newscasts for Chicago area TV stations. He continues to teach journalism at Monmouth College in Illinois. In 2006, he was inducted into the Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame.

The genesis of Mise-en-scène is the Stravinsky/Cocteau treatment of Oedipus Rex, first performed in 1927. I have been familiar with this composition from many encounters, including performances as a member of the Aspen Festival Orchestra, and later studying it along with Stravinsky's Persephone in David Diamond’s class in twentieth-century music at Juilliard. I was struck by Stravinsky’s intended mise-en-scène in which the soloists stand immobile in a niched frieze, a two-dimensional proscenium. I also loved his choice of Latin as a means of arresting the Oedipus story in stone –– a text as much ritual and object as narrative –– and his intentional use of so many stylistic references –– a Dada collage. In Mise-en-scène my personae ––Creon, Iocasta and Oedipus –– are set immobile in a triptych, a flat, painterly proscenium. I’ve written Latin texts as one might write lines for a libretto, but I do not intend that these texts be read as narrative. Instead, I’ve treated the texts as visual objects like the partial Latin inscriptions one sees on temple ruins. In Oracula, the text flows by so rapidly that it is all but unreadable. In Timeo and Ecce, the text is glimpsed in fragments –– one can discover shards of the Oedipus narrative, and if one knows the story, one can close the rest of the drama. The panels--three sketches--serve the same function. –Michael Lasater
In her four-decade career at major metropolitan newspapers, Myrna Oliver covered beats from general assignment to civil and criminal court cases to celebrity obituaries, carving a niche for herself at a time when few women were making marks in newspaper journalism and, later, when the industry itself began shrinking its newsroom staffs.
Born in Bloomington and brought up in Ellettsville, Indiana, Oliver spent most of her youth aspiring to be a lawyer. At IU, she studied journalism and served as editor of both the Arbutus and the Indiana Daily Student. During her senior year at IU, she still was considering law school. Journalism professor Chris Savage encouraged Oliver to apply for a fellowship to Syracuse University for a master’s degree in journalism, and, lacking finances to attend law school, Oliver applied and was accepted.
With her master’s degree in hand, Oliver spent 14 months as an assistant press secretary and speechwriter for U.S. Sen. Birch Bayh. After that, she spent about a year at The Indianapolis News. She was assigned to the women’s department, but fashioned a beat for herself following women in politics.
In 1968, Oliver headed west to work at the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner, where she covered the trials of Charles Manson and Robert F. Kennedy’s assassin, Sirhan Sirhan. Four years later, she accepted a job as the civil courts reporter for the Los Angeles Times, where she would remain until her retirement in 2006. While civil courts may not receive the attention and infamy of criminal courts, Oliver said in an in an interview that she loved it. She reported on cases concerning First Amendment issues and on civil rights cases about issues such as gay rights.
After 15 years at the Times, Oliver transitioned from court reporting to writing obituaries. While working as a legal affairs reporter, she sat near the obituary writer, who was overwhelmed with work the day Muppets creator Jim Henson died. Oliver volunteered to write the obituary, which ran on the front page. She would go on to write the obituaries of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton, actor and singer Gene Autry and composer Leonard Bernstein, among others. But she applied her distinctive style of telling life stories to the little-known as well as celebrities.
When she looks back, Oliver said she considers how she had to endure through the challenges of the newspaper industry, including being a woman in what used to be a man’s world. When she started at the LA Times, there was no women’s restroom on the newsroom floor.
Oliver also said civil court judges were less than welcoming when she began her beat at the Times. When judges were unwilling to talk to her, however, she would persevere by reading every piece of paperwork about the trial. She said in an interview that if she couldn’t get the story one way, she’d do it another.
The late Robert E. Thompson, who attended Indiana University on the G.I. Bill after World War II, became a top political reporter who eventually rose through the ranks to excel in newspaper management.
Thompson came to Indiana from his hometown of Los Angeles to study journalism and stayed after earning his degree in 1949. His first job was as a reporter for the Fort Wayne (Indiana) Gazette.
In 1951, Thompson was hired by the International News Service, a wire service owned by the Hearst chain, to cover agriculture from Washington, D.C. By the time the 1956 presidential elections arrived, Thompson had changed his beat to politics, an area he had always wanted to cover. He reported on the presidential campaigns of Adlai Stevenson and Dwight D. Eisenhower.
INS merged with United Press in 1958, and Thompson was one of many who were laid off. Shortly after, however, Sen. John F. Kennedy asked Thompson to be the press secretary for his re-election campaign. Thompson quickly returned to the newspaper business, however, joining the Washington, D.C., bureau of the New York Daily News in 1959. He was assigned the White House beat and would eventually report on his former boss after Kennedy was elected president.
He returned to his hometown in 1962 for a four-year stint writing for the Los Angeles Times. Thompson then was named Washington bureau chief for Hearst Newspapers. He later served as Hearst’s national news editor, then publisher of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer before returning to his position as bureau chief in Washington. He would retain this title until his retirement in 1989.
Thompson’s involvement with the Kennedy family was a distinctive part of his career. He was on the scene for the coverage of President Kennedy’s assassination and witnessed Jack Ruby’s shooting of suspect Lee Harvey Oswald. He co-authored the book Robert Kennedy: The Brother Within, a biography about the late senator.
During his time at IU, Thompson served as editor-in-chief of the Indiana Daily Student and was active in student government. He returned to IU Journalism in the early 1970s as the Ernie Pyle lecturer. His weekly column for Hearst about his experience as a political reporter continued until a month before his death in 2003.
Taik Sup Auh has forged a career as a respected educator, administrator and acclaimed textbook author in his native country of South Korea. He came to America in the late 1960s to work at the Korean Embassy in Washington, D.C., and returned to South Korea in 1981 with two post-graduate degrees from Indiana University.
Auh served as the assistant information attaché at the Korean Embassy in Washington, D.C., from 1966 to 1970, shortly after earning his bachelor’s degree in international relations from Seoul National University. He was accepted to IU’s journalism graduate program in 1970, earning his master’s in journalism in 1973 and his doctorate in mass communication in 1977.
With degrees in hand, Auh became an assistant professor at the Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia, where he remained until 1979. In 1981, he returned to South Korea and began his 25-year stay at the Korea University School of Media and Communications. During this time, he held several positions, including professor and dean of graduate studies.
Over the years, Auh has been involved with communications on a national level in South Korea. He has served as a committee chair for the Korean Communications Commission and the chair of the License Renewal Review Committee for Four General Cable-TV in Korea. Auh has been president of both the Korea Cyber Communication Research Society and the Korea Society for Journalism and Communication Studies.
In 2011, the Korean government awarded Auh the Order of Industrial Service Merit Bronze Tower for his role as the chair of the Media Diversity Committee. In this position, Auh contributed to the growth of the media industry in Korea while protecting diversity of opinion across all media platforms.
In addition to offering his expertise in mass communications as an educator and administrator, Auh has shared his knowledge through publications. He has authored and edited five textbooks used at universities across Korea, and he served as editor of the journal Asian Communication Research from 2004-06.
Auh’s research and instruction focus on political communications, theories of cyber communication and research methods. He has written studies about fact checking political statements, how language barriers affect cyber communication and Korean perceptions of the United States.
Auh returned to Indiana University in 1991 as a Fulbright Visiting Scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study, and again in 2006 as a visiting professor at the School of Journalism. He is currently a professor emeritus at Korea University and a board member at the Seoul Broadcasting System Cultural Foundation.
