Vincennes University celebrates 100 years of journalism
VINCENNES, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV)— Vincennes University is holding a celebration for a century of its journalism and photojournalism programs.
The College of Social Science, Performing Arts, and Communication is commemorating the occasion by having the VU Communication Department host an event called Honoring a Century of Journalism. The event will be held at 11:45 a.m. on February 17 in the Shake Leaning Resource Center Café.
The event will highlight the history of Vincennes University's award-winning student newspaper, The Trailblazer, and include the new logo for the newspaper designed by VU students. The school hopes the event will be a time for students, faculty, staff, alumni, prospective students, and community members to celebrate the program's legacy.

'For a century, Vincennes University has been at the forefront of journalism education,' VU Assistant Professor of Journalism Jenny McNeece said. 'Our students learn the foundational skills of reporting, writing, and photography while gaining hands-on experience by contributing to a publication that serves as a voice for the University and the University Community.'
VU students who study in these programs can get real-world experience at The Trailblazer as early as the first semester. VU also offers these students a newly redesigned Journalism Lab, and access to technology like Mac computers, the Adobe Creative Suite software, and DSLR cameras. The Trailblazer has transitioned with modern times from a print publication distributed every three weeks to an online newspaper that is regularly updated and a special print edition on the way. VU prides its programs on being able to send its students out ready for careers in digital media, newspapers, magazines, and other media outlets. The courses teach interviewing, storytelling, editing, design, photography, and advertising.
All are encouraged to help Vincennes University celebrate and attend the Honoring a Century of Journalism event.

Analysts reboot Micron Technology stock price target ahead of earnings
An elephant might never forget but Micron Technology (MU) has more storage space. The Boise, Idaho, company makes memory and storage chips for data centers, computers and smartphones, and its client list includes such tech-sector superstars as AI-chip chieftain Nvidia (NVDA) , Mac and iPhone maker Apple (AAPL) , Facebook parent Meta Platforms (META) and software kingpin Microsoft (MSFT) . Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Make no mistake, there's money in memories, and we're not just talking about those singing cats on Broadway. "After the historic downturn of 2022–2023, the memory industry has entered a phase of strong recovery. In 2024, memory revenue reached a record $170 billion," according to market researcher Yole Group. "This rebound was fueled by AI-training requirements in data centers, with [high-bandwidth memory) playing a pivotal role due to its premium pricing and performance advantages," the firm added. HBM continues to outperform the broader DRAM chip segment, Yole Group said. This year HBM revenue is set to nearly double to around $34 billion. Micron is a key player in the HBM market, offering solutions like HBM3E and HBM4 designed for high-performance computing and AI company recently joined the Trump administration to unveil plans to expand its U.S. investments to about $150 billion in domestic memory manufacturing and $50 billion in research and development, creating an estimated 90,000 direct and indirect jobs. More Tech Stocks: Amazon tries to make AI great again (or maybe for the first time)Veteran portfolio manager raises eyebrows with latest Meta Platforms moveGoogle plans major AI shift after Meta's surprising $14 billion move "Micron's U.S. memory manufacturing and R&D plans underscore our commitment to driving innovation and strengthening the domestic semiconductor industry," Chairman, President and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said in a statement. The company's shares are up nearly up nearly 45% this year and off 16% from this time in 2024. Investment firms have been issuing research reports for Micron Technology ahead of its fiscal-third-quarter earnings report, scheduled for June 25. Wedbush boosted its price target on Micron to $150 from $130 while maintaining an outperform rating. The firm said memory-pricing trends turned more positive in the second quarter. And while Wedbush said it doesn't see as significant an inflection in Q3 as it had been expecting back in March, the firm said pricing for both DRAM and NAND, which are two types of semiconductor memory, "still will lift over the next couple of quarters." Better fundamentals are driven by stronger enterprise/server demand, which started around April and looks to hold through the rest of the year, Wedbush said. Demand for both AI and standard workloads appears better than might have been initially anticipated, it said. "Moreover, we view growing [high-bandwidth memory] requirements as not just positive for MU's numbers but also ultimately positive for industry dynamics as [capital spending] and clean-room space are reallocated to support HBM growth," Wedbush said. Related: Analysts rework Micron stock price targets after earnings This will limit the likelihood of too much supply of NAND/DRAM, and it increases the probability that production of more standard parts will trail demand. That, the firm said, would create a more positive pricing/margin cycle vs. what is embedded in its expectations, the firm said. Morgan Stanley maintained an equal-weight rating and $98 price target on Micron, given how much the stock has rallied already, according to The Fly. But the investment firm is "tactically bullish," given that AI spending is materially accelerating as Micron grows its participation. The investment firm, which notes that its estimates remain 20% above consensus for August-quarter earnings, also highlights Sandisk, which it likes better long term and on which it has an overweight rating. Based in Milpitas, Calif., Sandisk designs and produces flash-memory products, including memory cards, USB flash drives and solid-state drives. Consensus numbers have started to come up for Micron over the past few weeks, but in addition to Morgan Stanley being about 20% above consensus for August earnings per share, the firm is also 14% above for November after it raised estimates six weeks ago.

Apple Explores Generative AI to Accelerate Chip Design
iPhone maker Apple (AAPL) is planning to use generative artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance its chip design technology. Apple uses in-house, custom-made chips to power its devices, including iPhones, iPads, and Mac computers. Reuters was the first to report on the matter, citing a speech recording by Apple's Senior VP of Hardware Technologies, Johny Srouji. Confident Investing Starts Here: Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter During his speech in Belgium last month, where he was receiving an award from Imec, a semiconductor research group, Srouji spoke about how Apple's custom chips have evolved from the first A4 chip used in the iPhone in 2010 to the very latest ones found in Mac desktop computers and the Vision Pro Headset. With that in mind, Apple aims to further improve its chip design process to produce faster and better-designed chips. Apple's All-In Approach to Innovation Cadence Design Systems (CDNS) and Synopsys (SNPS) are the two largest electronic design automation (EDA) firms that supply chip design technology to companies. Srouji noted that even these firms are racing to integrate AI into their offerings. He added that Apple has learnt over the years that it must leverage advanced technology to bolster the process. 'Generative AI techniques have a high potential in getting more design work in less time, and it can be a huge productivity boost,' Srouji said. Additionally, he mentioned that Apple believes in going all-in on a project without looking back. For instance, when shifting its Mac computers from Intel's (INTC) chips to its own in-house custom chips in 2020, Apple did not have a contingency plan or backup in case of failure. Designing and using its first Apple Silicon chip was a big transitional step for the company at the time, yet it did not have a Plan B, Apple simply went all-in. According to Srouji, this approach has worked very well for Apple so far. Is AAPL a Buy Right Now? Trump's tariffs on iPhone production. On TipRanks, AAPL stock has a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on 16 Buys, nine Holds, and four Sell ratings. Also, the average Apple price target of $226.94 implies 15.4% upside potential from current levels. Year-to-date, AAPL stock has lost 21.3%.
