SJSU JMC

SJSU Journalism faculty and students were so very proud to present the prestigious national Hearst Foundation Award to Alexander Shebanow and Dan Rather for their explosive documentary "Fail State." It's a eye-opening look at the corrupt for-profit college industry that offer worthless degrees and leaves people with major debt for years. Bravo Alex!!!

SJSU Journalism students watched the explosive documentary "Fail State," then met the 29 year old driving force who envisioned how to produce it. He shared his passion with veteran newsman Dan Rather who agreed to be his partner, and help get this important film in front of millions.
