Background
The Printing and Rural
Journalism building was completed in 1952. Previously, the printing
program had been housed in Old North and the journalism program in Old
Central. The newly accredited department moved to its current home in
the new building, which was much better able to accommodate the
equipment and needs of the programs.
In
June of 2000 this building completed and expansion and renovation of the
facilities at a cost of $2.4 million. This project added four computer
laboratories—for news-writing; for news-editing and typography; for
broadcasting and advertising; and for photojournalism. All have
state-of-the-art equipment. Broadcast and advertising courses are held
in the Joe L. Floyd New Media Laboratory. It is equipped with high-end
Macintosh computers and connected to digital video and audio production
suites. There are two conference rooms, a reading room, a student
lounge, and individual offices for the department's nine faculty
members. The Printing and Rural Journalism Building was been renamed
Yeager Hall in recognition of the contributions of Anson and Ada May
Yeager. Mr. Yeager, an alumnus of SDSU, was the long-time editor of the
Argus Leader in Sioux Falls.
