Wall Street Journal Reporter and EIU Alumnus to Speak on Campus

Wall Street Journal reporter and EIU alumnus, Tim Martin, will speak Wednesday about what’s it like to work at the journal and his time spent covering everything from the Affordable Care Act to the supermarket industry.

Martin, who graduated EIU in 2006 with a journalism major and a minor in business administration and political science, started working for the journal back in 2008.

The lecture titled “Inside the Wall Street Journal” will start at 4 p.m. in Lumpkin Auditorium in Lumpkin Hall at EIU. This week, Martin is serving as the spring 2014 Fox-Thornburgh Visiting Professional, and he will continue visiting classes and students through Thursday.

The lecture is free and open to the public.
