Arizona Republic Fellowship Honors the Memory of Slain Reporter Don Bolles
Endowment will fund ASU student participation in Carnegie-Knight News21 annual summer project.
It was 40 years ago, in June of 1976, that Don Bolles was targeted by a remote-controlled dynamite bomb placed under his vehicle at a Phoenix hotel. The Arizona Republic reporter, celebrated for his coverage of the mafia, died a week and a half later from injuries sustained in the June 2 attack.
In honor of his legacy, the paper has announced a namesake gift of $62,500 to ASU’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communications.
