Deadline Movie Premiere
Benefiting The KSU School of Journalism and Mass Communication
The Cleveland Premiere of Deadline, the new movie starring Steve Talley and Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts, was Wednesday, March 28th. Hosted by Kent State University, the premiere benefited the University's School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
"We’re excited to bring the Deadline premiere tour to Cleveland," said the movie's director Curt Hahn. "Deadline's a film that demonstrates the power of truth, justice, persistence and the local press as two newspaper reporters solve a cold case civil rights murder." The red carpet arrivals began at 6:00 with the Deadline premiere at 7:00. A Q&A with cast members including stars Darryl Van Leer and Clay Brocker, plus the reporter/writer who lived and wrote the story Mark Ethridge and director Curt Hahn followed the premiere.
The School of Journalism and Mass Communication provides professional undergraduate and master's programs within the liberal arts tradition. We teach students to gather information, to present it clearly and to think critically within a legal and ethical framework. We recognize our responsibility to serve as a resource for professional practitioners, for media consumers, and for Kent State University. This responsibility extends to the identification and inclusion of historically underrepresented communities. Our students consistently win top honors in national competitions.
