During her visit, Faulkner met with students from Southern University and offered an insight into her decades of career in journalism.

“I think it is important to only learn in the media, especially at a time like this,” said Najah Black, a student at Southern University. “As a minority in this area, it is important to see how you navigate in the media.”

Faulkner, a six-time Emmy award winner, has been a leading voice in radio news for almost 20 years. She emphasized the developing landscape of journalism and emphasized the rise of independent media and increased the importance of credibility.

“Independent journalism and podcasting are here and they share the space with how people get their information,” said Faulkner. “I still have the feeling that when big things happen, people turn to the journalists whom they trust.”

City Councilor Anthony Kenney from District 2 praised Faulkner’s visit and said her presence was a strong moment for southern students.

“I could see as many great people like Mrs. Faulkner, who was an amazing figurehead in the news world,” said Kenney. “It is astonishing that she comes back to return the current students from Southern University.”

Faulkner’s visit is part of the ongoing efforts of Southern University to combine students with industry leaders. On Monday she will broadcast the Faulkner Focus Live from the Baton Rouge Campus live and set Southern in the national spotlight.
