Mann Closes J-School Chapter
Jeremy Bradley
Staff Writer
Of the many impressions Professor
Raleigh Mann has left at the University,
one seems to be a little deeper than the
others. His sincere interest in students
has been noted from administrators to
colleagues to stu
dents themselves.
Mann retired
from teaching in
the School of
Journalism and
Mass
Communication
onjune 22 after 22
years at the
University. His
4^
retirement leaves the University with
one less genuinely interested and dedi
cated teacher, yet allows him to pursue
his variety of outside interests.
Some said Mann’s journalism knowl
edge was part of what made him such
an excellent teacher.
“He knows his subject in and out,”
said fellow journalism professor Jim
Shumaker. “He’s an expert in news-ed,
page design, headline writing, copy
editing and basically anything else in
the field.”

Mann’s rise to expertise began in
Florida where he worked for several dif
ferent publications including The Miami
Herald. He moved to Chapel Hill in
1977 to become Assistant Director for
Medical Center Public Affairs, then
joined the journalism school one year
later.
Mann’s role at the journalism school
proved to be an integral one, helping to
shape the school into what is consistent
ly considered among the country’s best
“The curriculum has changed to
reflect what’s going on in the informa
tion world, so I try and balance my
teaching to best prepare my students,”
Mann said.
This “balance” has certainly worked
said Tom Bowers, associate dean of the
journalism school.
“I’ve had more than one graduate say
that Raleigh Mann’s course was one of
the most challenging and most helpful
to their career; and these are former stu
dents who have gone on to do great
things,” Bowers said.
But many said Mann is more than
just an excellent teacher. He served as
adviser for the Society of Professional
Journalists since 1986. He also received
the David Brinkley Award for
Excellence in Teaching in 1996 and was
named one of the University’s Favorite
Faculty in 1997. These accolades are a
result of what Bowers described as
Mann’s high standards and sincere con
cern over students and what they leam.
Mann’s passion and dedication are
not solely reserved for the classroom.
He is extremely active in his church, the
United Church of Chapel Hill.
Reverend Richard Fdens called Mann a
highly involved member.
An active participant in several pro
fessional and community theatre
groups, Mann also loves music.
Coming from what he describes as a
“blue-collar family from Baltimore,”
Mann’s parents helped develop these
passions by “always finding a way to
expose us to great music, theatre, live
performances and having a piano in the
house,” he said.
Music has played a key role in
Mann’s life. Psychology Professor Joe
Lowman, a long-time friend of Mann’s,
describes him as “a musician, singer,
actor and lover of fine music.” In 1978,
Mann founded a barbershop quartet

titled “Carolina Blue” that lasted for 20
years. He was also founder and director
of the United Church of Chapel Hill’s
Chamber Choir from 1989 to 1997 and
an active member of United Voices of
Praise, a biracial gospel choir.
“United Voices of Praise taught me a
lot about knowing and loving people,”
said Mann. This theme has permeated
his life and has been a motivating factor
for several years.
In 1997, Mann underwent major
heart surgery.
“Something like that changes you,
you start being grateful for every new
day and you truly begin to cherish and
value experiences,” he said.
Mann likened his new lifestyle to the
idea of showing St. Peter a videotape of
his life upon reaching the Pearly Gates.
He wants to look at his actions and be
proud of the person he was.
“You start behaving as though time
were limited,” he said. “You start loving
people in spite of things. I really am
grateful for every day and I make the
most of it.”
Mann plans to make the most of
retirement by “turning off the alarm
clock and not grading papers,” he said.
Mann will spend some of his free
time helping edit a friend’s book. He
said he might also try his hand at fiction
writing.
He plans to stay involved with the
journalism school, possibly teaching
part-time or speaking at workshops.
When Mann retired, the University
lost no only a stellar teacher, but a man
with a genuine reverence for life.
“Give as much as you can and don’t
be afraid to love people,” Mann advised
students. “Keeping your guard up, feel
ing vulnerable and thinking about your
own personal agenda makes you lose
track of what life’s about. Life is about
making yourself a better person.”
A cardinal rule in the journalism
school is to write with perfect grammar.
In this case, when a news-editing spe
cialist is the subject of the story, a writer
feels a special desire to abide by this
rule. With any luck, Mann’s retirement
story (and its editing) will reflect the
dedication to perfection he showed
throughout his career.
