Title: Editor, Baylor Magazine

Vicki Marsh Kabat, BJ '76

What do you do?
I'm editor of a bimonthly publication for Baylor University in Waco, Texas. Baylor Magazine is a 48-page, full-color publication that is mailed to 100,000 alumni, students, parents and peer institutions.

How did you get your job?
I began at Baylor five years ago as assistant director of publications and was promoted to the editor position.

Best professional lesson learned at the J-School?
From Tom Duffy: "I can't fill a newspaper with excuses."

What would be your best advice to current students?
Conduct yourself with integrity at all times; be accurate rather than first; be balanced in your reporting; always treat a person's story with respect.

What is one thing you wish you had done?
"Success" is too vague a word for me, but I'm happy in what I do because I bring the best I have in me to it and I believe that what I'm doing is important and makes a difference.
