With profound sadness we must announce the death of Dr. David L. Adams, longtime director of student media at Indiana University's School of Journalism.

Dave was a national leader for press freedom for student journalists and he served as publisher and director of the Indiana Daily Student and the Arbutus since 1989. He was inducted into the College Media Advisers Hall of Fame in 1997.

Dave's tenure at the IDS, one of the nation's oldest and most respected college newspapers, was filled with national acclaim. In 2005 and 2006, the IDS was selected as Best All-Around Daily Student Newspaper by the Society of Professional Journalists.

In March, the Arbutus was selected as Best Large Yearbook by the College Media Advisers.

Most importantly, Dave devoted his life to the student journalists at Indiana University for nearly two decades.

"We were shocked to learn today about this tragedy, and we will miss his presence tremendously in Ernie Pyle Hall." said Bradley J. Hamm, dean of the School of Journalism. "Dave's legacy will live on through his students, and we will remember him for many, many reasons, most especially for his unmatched enthusiasm for all aspects of the student press."
