Pelley’s formal journalism education centered on Texas Tech University in Lubbock, where he stayed close to home and majored in journalism. He attended the university’s journalism program (now part of the College of Media & Communication), which provided training in reporting, broadcasting, and media skills relevant to his early local TV work.
Key nuance: Pelley did not complete his bachelor’s degree. He left a few credit hours short to pursue professional opportunities in local media, prioritizing real-world experience over finishing his formal studies. Sources describe him as having “attended” or “studied journalism at” Texas Tech rather than graduating from it.
@LangmanVince That look an individual gets as they realize they are in the drain vortex of their career spun up by their own incompetence. On national TV.
