Barry Litman

Like so many friends who have shared their thoughts already, I am thankful to Barry for being my teacher. I would like to think he'll continue to teach every time we share his work with our own students.

I have been a long time consumer of Barry's work. He set a high bar for all of us in the field of media economics. My deepest condolences to his family.

Barry was an important leader in our field. His contributions will be missed. My sympathies to his family.

My condolences to Barry's family. I must say, his Media Economics course at MSU was one of the best, most informative classes I've taken in my life. And he made it really interesting. I use the knowledge I gained there every single day in the "real world." Dr. Litman also was a really great person who will be terribly missed.

I looked upon Barry Litman as a "guru" in the field of media economics, and actually told him so many years ago. His research inspired and taught me. I was not one of his students, but I learned so much from him. He left an important legacy to our field. My deepest sympathies to the Litman family.

Barry was one of the main reasons I chose the Ph.D program at MSU. He was a great mentor and guide and has shaped the research I do today and the way I look at the media. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this very sad time.

Leslie & family: I am very sorry to hear of your loss. Not only was Barry my professor, he was a mentor, a co-author, and a friend during my years in East Lansing. Take your time; accept hugs; and feel the grief as it washes over you. Know that time will eventually take the acute pain away. Yours, Janay

My sympathy goes out to all the Litman family. Barry was a wonderful teacher and a good friend. He will be missed by many people.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Rob and I both took Barry's graduate Media Economics course and will always remember him fondly, and with respect.
