Newspaper Hall of Famer Thomas F. Kearney \u201969<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The New England Newspaper & Press Association<\/a> recently inducted Thomas F. Kearney \u201969<\/strong> into the New England Newspaper Hall of Fame. Kearney, who spent much of his professional life as executive editor of the Keene Sentinel<\/em><\/a>, is currently managing editor of the weekly Stowe Reporter<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tom kept himself pretty productive while he was at Keene State, working full-time as a disc jockey, as a music director, and then as news director for WKBK, then the region\u2019s only rock station. For his last semester, he was a full-time reporter for the Sentinel<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“The main thing I learned in college was that most of my preconceived notions about how the world worked were simply wrong, or very much in question,” Tom said. “That taught me to keep an open mind about nearly everything, and to challenge assumptions about the best way to do things.” That ability to look under the surface is a key ingredient to Tom’s success as a journalist.<\/p>\n
