Ed Smith

        Ed Smith, who is the coordinator for the Photography Minor, has a BA from the University of Minnesota – Duluth in Speech Communication with a minor in Journalism and a MA in Communicating Arts from the University of Wisconsin – Superior.
            One of Ed’s areas of expertise is photography, as he is a photographer himself. He is also very knowledgeable and passionate about news media ethics and media law, which is why Mass Media Law and Ethics is his favorite class to teach.
            After graduating from UMD, Ed worked at Channel 10 news, starting as a part-time newscaster and becoming News Director. After making it to the top at Channel 10, Ed decided to come to CSS because of the great opportunities the College had to offer.
            In his free time, Ed likes to travel: to Ireland (which he loves because of its great photo opportunities), Germany (because he has friends there and speaks the language), the Caribbean, and San Francisco (because his two sons live there). Ed also enjoys reading (fiction and non-fiction), boating, riding his motorcycle, and visiting his cabin in Douglas County, WI.
           Ed enjoys spending time with his three kids. His two sons, Stuart and Ian, graduated from CSS and live in San Francisco; his daughter, Shannon, recently graduated from CSS and was highly active in the theatre program, appearing in many plays including Antigone and Three Sisters. Ed’s wife, Debra Smith, is a 1977 graduate of the CSS Nursing Program.
