Remember when?

Ralph Holsinger

Anyone who took professor Ralph Holsinger’s editing course will recall his surprise news quizzes, his admonishments not to "tinker" while copy editing and his slideshow of "bad" headlines.

Click the link below to see a slideshow as you imagine Holsinger instructing your class on newspaper headlines that did not quite work. (Thanks to Margie Holsinger for sending the slides.)

Holsinger taught journalism at IU from 1965 to 1989 and is a member of the Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame.
