(Tulsa, Ok)--Former KRMG general manager Ken Greenwood is one of three Tulsa media legends honored this week by the Tulsa Press Club. Selected as Media Icons this year are Greenwood, former Tulsa Tribune reporter Mary Hargrove, and former KTUL-TV general manager Tom Goodgame. Greenwood led KRMG for about ten years starting in 1962. During that time he was often heard on the air providing editorials on community issues. Greenwood says he likes to stir the water. He surely did that in the Arkansas River. It was Greenwood who helped organize the KRMG Great Raft Race along the river from Sand Springs to Tulsa. That event drew public attention to the river resource winding its way through Tulsa. That in turn led to creation of the Tulsa River Parks System. After leaving KRMG Greenwood spent several years on the faculty at the University of Tulsa. He is also a film maker and is active in convervation matters

What others are saying

  • Memories of Ken Greenwood
    I was lucky enough to have 2 University of Tulsa Classes with Ken. In one class he asked students what they intended to learn from college. After getting everyones response Ken stated 'I think what you learn from college is how to learn.'In Ken's Creative Process in Advertising class you were able to put that viewpoint to work. His recognition by the Tulsa Press Club is well deserved.
