Look in the Mirror

Syracuse University’s Newhouse School has been giving out “Mirror Awards” for the past 19 years.

The awards supposedly celebrate media reporting and highlight those that do a good job.

At today’s luncheon at Cipriani on 42nd Street in New York City, CNN’s Jeff Zucker will be awarded the Fred Dressler Leadership Award.

Fred Dressler was on the Newhouse Advisory Board and died back in 2007.

But we have a feeling that Fred might be flipping over in his grave when he learns that Zucker, who has basically flown CNN into the ground headfirst and ruined a great brand is receiving an award with his name on it.

Sorry Fred.

Also, it makes us wonder what message this sends to the students that attended, attend or want to attend Syracuse University’s J-School?

Just saying…
