The best way to success is to build a resume by gaining as much experience as possible, said J. Richard Munro. Munro spoke to an ojKjn journalism class for Brevard College studenu on Wednesday, October 3. He was on campus to deliver the keynote address of a Community Convocation on Literacy later thai day. Munro, chairman of the executive committee of the board of directors for Time Warner Inc., has seen success. In his 34-year career with Time, he has both seen and experienced success. "Determine as quickly as you can whether you really are a writer," he advised journalism students, adding, "Write! Write! Write! — because you're always going to have to write." According to Munro, teamwork, ambition, aggression, desire, and the willingness to work hard arc some of the skills needed to achieve one's goals. It is also necessary in a major corporation to determine the culture of the company, Munro advised. Make sure the individual matches the environmenL In other words, "'know thyself.’" Training and apprenticeships are very important in order to reach success. '^'Training ground is a way in'" says Munro. One such job is to serve as a researcher, an aide to the main writer. Whatever the main writer/reporter needs, the researcher will do — from looking up background information to running errands. Not only did he answer the questions of journalism students, but Munro also offered many tips for success. According to ex'perts such as Munro, talent plays a big role in a person's success. Yet, so does fate, luck and networking. To succeed in the world of journalism, Munro said, one must have guts, desire and determination as well as talent.

However, it's not too late to correct the world's problems, everyone can make a difference," he said. Last year, the EAG began with only six people. This year it has begun witli approximately 40 members. Llewellyn encourages everyone to come and be part of the group. There is no need to sign up. All that needs to be done is to show up.
