Les Anderson is a professor in the Elliott School of Communication at Wichita State University. This is his second year of bringing journalism students to Greensburg to tell the story of its rebirth.My students and I leave Tuesday morning for Greensburg and the start of a two-week class.
We’ll be staying in the Friends Church in Haviland, 10 miles east of Greensburg. The church has hosted hundreds — maybe thousands — of volunteers since the tornado struck the area May 4 a year ago.
Our goal is to provide stories, photos and video for use by Kansas newspapers through the Kansas Newspaper Association. We also plan to contribute radio reports for two Wichita radio stations, KMUW (89.1 FM) and KFDI/KFTI (1070 AM). With the help of KPA technology consultant Cort Anderson, we’ll create a Web site, where all of our work will be available.

Good Morning,
I am the news director for the AM Radio Station in Pratt AM1290.
We just added five daily newscasts this week.
I am writing a short story to be included in this AM’s newscast.
Is there any possibility of a telephone interview sometime today?
Please call me at 620-770-1301.
Thanks,
Tom Harrison
