Jim Wilson (1961), professor emeritus at Fresno State, former vice president and general manager of KMJ Radio, and George Gruner, a former editor at The Fresno Bee who was jailed for two weeks for refusing to reveal a confidential source, are this year's inductees into the Media, Communications and Journalism Hall of Fame.

They will join eight distinguished MCJ Fellows, including Julie Lindahl Logan, general manager of KFSR Radio, and student scholarship recipients at the “Media, Communications and Journalism Hall of Fame Induction and Scholarship Celebration” from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 14, at the Fresno State Speech Arts building, Room 172 (Studio A).

Honorees have distinguished themselves in their careers, contributed to the betterment of the industry or made volunteer efforts outside the workplace. Hall of fame inductees are those who have completed or are near ending their primary careers, while fellows are in the prime of their careers.

The event will be presented by the College of Arts and Humanities, the Media, Communications and Journalism Department and the MCJ Alumni and Friends Chapter.

Tickets are $40 with pre-registration and $50 at the door. Proceeds benefit the MCJ Alumni and Friends Chapter that contributes to student scholarships and events that foster connections between alumni and students.
