CLOVIS -- Howard
E. Hobbs, PhD, Ford Fellow, Emeritus at University of California,
was born in Kansas City Missouri in 1935. Dr. Hobbs founded the
Bulldog Newspaper at Fresno State College in 1958.
He received his B.A. in Political Science
from Fresno State College in 1959 and his M.A. Thesis in Psychology
in 1973.
He taught Business Ethics courses at National
University in the 1990's and at Fresno State's Business Center.
He lectured widely on journalism and business management issues
at Wharton School of Business in cooperation with The
Employee Benefit Institute of Fresno.
He completed doctoral studies
in psychology at the Graduate School,University of Southern California
in 1981. The title of his 300 page dissertation - "The Moral
Domain" attracted widespread interest among university and
practicing psychologists.
He has lectured widely at colleges and
universities in the United states and Japan.
The first of his books on usage of language
was published in Japan in 1956. He writes of his US Marine NCO experience
in the Far East, "I always lived hugely, performed my duty
in the Marines with honor, worked hard and took pride in my family
and always thought of myself as a typical news journalist."
After release from active duty at
the close of the Korean conflict he gradually resumed his
writing career in civilian life in Fresno. His 1992 textbook The
Limits & Possibilities of Vocational Rehabilitation was
obtained by the Henry Madden Library at Fresno State and
is currently in circulation damand.
His open writing style and convincing manner
drew him success in journalism and personal commitment to meeting
daily editorial deadlines in Fresno at the Bulldog News and the
Daily Republican, which boasted an enormous national readership
by 1979.
The Clovis Free Press news sheet
was founded in 1962. The weekly eventually was shuttered.
Hobbs, with the technical engineering of his son Thomas, stepped
in to reopen the Clovis Free Press in free
digital format. It is a quick loading digitally accessible news
wire service delivered through the medium of an Internet BroadBand
