In 2007, the University of Missouri Press published Letters from the Editor: Lessons from Journalism and Life, a collection of weekly letters that Woo wrote to his Stanford students about the craft of journalism. In his introduction, Philip J. Meyer, the editor, wrote: The career of William F. Woo tracked what many of our generation once considered the golden age of newspaper journalism... For the students and journalists of the 21st Century, Bill Woo's platform is a reminder of the values worth preserving.
AAJA is happy to announce that Martha Shirk, the widow of legendary journalist William Woo, will donate up to $5,000 as a matching fund for any contribution towards the William Woo Internship Fund.
