Some sad/tough Emerson Journalism news:
Prof. Emeritus Manny Paraschos died peacefully yesterday surrounded by his wife Janet Nyberg, son Alex and daughter Sophia, after battling pneumonia.
Prof Paraschos started teaching at Emerson in 1988, and immediately brought innovation with new digital tools. He started the Journalism Students Online News Service, JSONS, and managed it until his 2018 retirement. He oversaw the journalism master’s degree program for many years. His website and book, The Boston Journalism Trail tracing journalism’s roots in Boston, is a part of Emerson journalism.
Donations in Prof. Manny Paraschos' memory can be made through the Emerson College Giving Form to promote his support for Emerson journalism students.
