The search for a new director of USC’s journalism school has taken a confusing turn after a Northwestern University professor accepted the job but then suddenly withdrew two days later.</p>

<p>Douglas Foster’s reversal and decision not to head up USC’s undergraduate and graduate journalism programs “was disappointing,” according to Ernest J. Wilson III, dean of the USC Annenberg School of Communication and Journalism… Foster last Friday had accepted the offer to succeed Geneva Overholser as journalism school director but on Sunday said he had changed his mind due to personal and professional reasons, Wilson said.

Anyone hear more about this?</p>
