I’m very pleased to announce that Eric Ulken, a former editor from the Los Angeles Times, is joining the UBC Graduate School of Journalism.
Eric is coming as the Canwest Visiting Professor for 2009-2010. He spent four years at the LA Times as managing news editor for latimes.com and as editor of interactive technology.
