about friend or foe without
fear or favor, in good times
and bad, in peace and war,
the journalist who does that
is not a traitor he or she is a
patriot,” Catron said. She
emphasized a journalist's
duty to have a commitment
to the truth.
“People choose jobs,
plan medical procedures,
decide how their going to
vote based on what we do
every day, “Catron said. “It is
a huge responsibility, so we
better get it right.”
Carton's speech was the
backdrop for a host of work
shops and presentations
aimed at building skills and
shaping the professional
development of aspiring
journalists.
The 59th Southern
Regional Press Institute con
cluded with a speech from its
keynote speaker Betty Baye.
Baye, national syndi
cated columnist for the
Louisville-Courier Journal,
said last Friday at the
Milledge-Owens awards
luncheon that knowing your
gift is the key to success.
“When you know what
your gift is it does not matter
whether you make $1 mil a
year or $100 a year. Baye
said.” When you know what
your gift is, you are not jeal
ous of anyone.”
Baye, who was award
ed the Robert S. Abbott
Memorial Award, spoke to a
well attended audience in the
King Frazier Ballroom.
“If you come from the
rough side of the mountain
climb it”. Baye said. “The
rough part of the mountain
can make you strong.”
“When God has
something for you to do, you
do it,” Baye said. “Never get
too big for the small stuff,
look for the humanity.”
The audience praised
Baye's speech, among them
was award recepient Kai C.
Walker, assistant professor in
mass communications. She
received the Service to the
Institute Award.
“Baye's speech was
wonderful,” Walker said. “It
was very down- to- earth and
very personable. One of the
best keynote speakers in a
long time.”
