Oklahomans faced a dire situation in 2018. The last Oklahoma reporter in Washington, D.C., had retired, leaving our state without news representation in the nation’s capital. That was before two award-winning journalists and faculty members, Mike Boettcher and John Schmeltzer, founded Gaylord News later that year.
Keith White found journalism at a young age -- or, rather, it found him. Raised in a newspaper publishing family in Grandfield, OK, White was immersed in journalism from an early age. There, he learned skills that would propel him into the ranks of Gaylord College, the OU Daily and a 47-year-long career in journalism, earning his way to editor positions at prestigious publications such as the National Journal Group, The Hill and Congressional Quarterly (CQ). For his past experiences, White attributes a significant part of his success to the opportunities granted to him by what would become the Student Experience Fund.
Gaylord College at the University of Oklahoma is unique by its impeccable standards but also by its potential. The creative media production major is integral to the future of Oklahoma as we continue to take on film and media projects.
