From the initial concept, we realized this was much more than a website. We were tasked with an interactive online documentary. We actually had to leave content out.
Honoring A Legend
Throughout his distinguished career, Bob Schieffer displayed persistence, tenacity, civility and professional integrity. For the younger TCU audience who were unable to witness Bob’s iconic career in journalism, we partnered with the TCU College of Communication to develop a compelling, interactive experience allowing visitors to understand the impact Bob Schieffer has had on the field of journalism and education. The site seeks to honor the values and qualities Bob displayed throughout his life, while serving as a helpful tool for students to recognize the legacy behind the TCU Bob Schieffer College of Communication.
