A positive energy

John Quinn is quick to get into the picture. He joins (from left) Sharryn Harvey, Victoria Edwards and Chrystal Johnson.

We came together from across the country. We 51 have various talents, all put together for one purpose -- to provide more diversity in newsrooms across America. I feel a positive energy coming from this group, and I already feel a connection with many Scholars. I am looking forward to seeing how far these wonderful individuals can go.
