AT HIGH POINT UNIVERSITY, EVERY STUDENT RECEIVES AN EXTRAORDINARY EDUCATION IN AN INSPIRING ENVIRONMENT WITH CARING PEOPLE. ®

“If” drives us. 

“If” inspires us. 

“If” creates and 

defines us. 

At the University of Oregon, we ask “what if?” and “why not?” We 

seek new ways to create knowledge and tell stories. We explore 

theory and practice from a variety of perspectives. We examine 

communication processes and structures in developing countries, 

investigate the political economy of such media as cinema 

and online games, explore ethical dilemmas, and analyze the 

intersection of activism and social change. 

The University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication— 

long known as one of the best journalism schools in the country—is 

the destination for students and faculty who want to connect 

with storytellers and scholars who are exploring new frontiers of 

communication. Halfway between the ocean and the mountains, 

on the campus of one of the nation’s leading research universities, 

you can work with Pulitzer Prize winners, Page Legacy Scholars, 

NSF grant awardees, New York Times columnists, and awardwinning 

researchers—and then go explore our extraordinary state. 

We’re reimagining the future of the communications field. Take our 

new Agora Journalism Center, a place where innovation and civic 

engagement are elemental. The center is designed to ask, “Wait— 

what is journalism?” And we don’t settle for pat answers. 

Winner of the university’s 2015 Equity and Inclusion Innovation 

Award, the School of Journalism and Communication is committed 

to fostering an environment where diversity is the norm and the 

key to academic and professional excellence. 

“If” is what we do. “If” is why we’re here. Think what could happen 

if you joined us.

THE WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY SUMMER DOCTORAL SEMINAR 

Agendamelding: 

How we use traditional and 

social media to connect community 

with Donald Shaw, Ph.D. 

Modern media audiences are very active in the way they are using 

traditional and social media. In fact, they are melding the agendas from 

these two types of media to connect with community that is personally 

satisfying. So there is a loss in vertical power of traditional media but a 

gain in personal satisfaction. How will social systems adjust to all this? 

Wayne State’s annual Summer Doctoral Seminar is June 13-16, 2016. 

Donald Shaw, a writer and communication scholar, is associated with 

agenda-setting research. With Maxwell McCombs of the University of 

Texas at Austin and David Weaver of Indiana University, he is attempting 

to expand agenda setting research into a comprehensive behavioral theory connecting media 

and society. Shaw is Kenan professor emeritus at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. 

Attendees receive: • Paid travel • Paid lodging • Paid meals 

Application materials include curriculum vitae, letter of support from 

academic advisor, and 500-word statement about how the seminar 

fits with the student’s long term research and teaching goals. 

Applications are due March 1, 2016, to Lee Wilkins, Ph.D.; Professor 

and Chair; Department of Communication; 591 Manoogian Hall - 

WSU; Detroit, MI 48201. With questions, contact Dr. Wilkins at Lee.

Media & Culture with 2015 Update 

An Introduction to Mass Communication 

Tenth Edition 

Richard Campbell, Miami University of Ohio, Christopher R. Martin, 

University of Northern Iowa, Bettina Fabos, University of Northern Iowa 

NEW 

Media & Culture is available with 

LaunchPad, featuring LearningCurve. 

A number of high stakes conflicts—over net neutrality, streaming music, 

copyrights, the shifting fortunes of various media outlets, and divisive politics— 

continue to unfold over YouTube, Twitter, TV screens, and other mediated feeds. 

The speed at which these stories are consumed means that understanding the 

complex convergence of the media and our culture is more important than ever. 

The new tenth edition of Media & Culture captures that convergence like no 

other classroom resource, starting with the digital world students know and 

then goes further, focusing on what these constant changes mean to them. 

As always, Media & Culture brings together industry expertise, media history, 

and current trends for an exhilarating look at the media right now. Through new 

infographics, cross-reference pages, and a new digital jobs feature, this edition 

offers the most contemporary and compelling examinations yet of how the 

media industries connect, interlock, and converge.

The following sessions might be helpful to faculty who are working on tenure or promotion. 

These sessions were selected by the AEJMC Elected Standing Committee on Teaching. 

Several pre-conference workshops 

on Wednesday relate to the new

mass communication and journalism 

today. For example, Small 

Programs Interest Group is sponsoring 

a workshop from 1 pm to 5

storytelling and for putting courses 

online. There will be eight panelists 

from across the country from

a workshop on teaching traditional 

journalistic skills, such as how to 

teach fact checking and accountability. 

This session will be 8 am to 

noon, is sponsored by the American 

Press Institute, and includes a panel 

of four industry experts and faculty 

who will share best practices and 

sample exercises for teaching journalistic 

reporting. Finally, the Elected 

Standing Committee on Teaching is 

hosting a workshop from 1 pm to 

5 pm for adjuncts and instructors 

on the “nuts and bolts” of teaching 

journalism and mass communication. 

This session will include

Workshop Session: 

Trailblazers of Diversity in Journalism and Mass 

Communication Education Oral History Project 

Workshop 


Maggie Rivas-Rodriguez, Texas at Austin 

AEJMC has been deeply engaged in ensuring diversity in 

journalism and mass com education. For many members, 

diversity is at the heart of journalism. After the 1969 

Kerner Commission Report, news organizations sought 

to address the lack of racial and ethnic representation in 

their newsrooms. Organizations such as the ASNE and the 

RTNDA set lofty goals to achieve parity in newsrooms. 

Minority journalists created their own associations to 

encourage more from their respective groups to enter 

journalism, to gain newsroom promotions, and finally, 

to challenge unfair journalistic treatments. Today, as 

news organizations face issues of survival, diversity 

appears to have lost priority. The Trailblazers of Diversity 

Oral History Training Workshop will provide hands-on 

instruction on documenting the experiences of those who 

have worked toward a more inclusive news media, more 

inclusive research and curriculum, more inclusive faculty 

and student body, and more inclusive service. Workshop 

leader Maggie Rivas-Rodriguez has more than 15 years in 

creating and building oral history archives. Trent Boulter, 

a doctoral student who coordinates the Trailblazers 

Project, will provide technical expertise. Topics 

covered: best audio and video recording practices; the 

principles of good lighting; the importance of additional 

documentation. All interested AEJMC members welcome. 

Join experts in the entrepreneurial space for a 

conversation and hackathon about building the media 

entrepreneurship mindset for students both inside and 

outside the classroom. In form and function, participants 

will experience the “startup culture” by working in

The 2016 election season is in fast and frenetic motion, 

with unprecedented spending on advertising and other 

messaging already underway. You have just a few 

semesters to prepare your students – and yourself – for 

the barrage of misinformation, manipulation and rhetoric 

from campaigns and special interest groups. What are 

the best tools and technologies to help quickly determine 

fact from fiction? What does the latest research say about 

how journalists, audiences and politicians react to factchecking 

journalism – and what should we do about 

it? What resources and techniques are best? Our panel 

of practitioners/teachers will join you in conversation 

about best practices; demonstrate class exercises and 

assessments; and offer tips and guidelines for teaching 

fact-checking and accountability journalism not only 

in the political realm but for all significant journalistic 

reporting.

Panel Session: 

Database for Accredited Schools 

Thursday 


Maggie Rivas-Rodriguez, Texas at Austin 

AEJMC has been deeply engaged in ensuring diversity in 

journalism and mass com education. For many members, 

diversity is at the heart of journalism. After the 1969 

Kerner Commission Report, news organizations sought 

to address the lack of racial and ethnic representation in 

their newsrooms. Organizations such as the ASNE and the 

RTNDA set lofty goals to achieve parity in newsrooms. 

Minority journalists created their own associations to 

encourage more from their respective groups to enter 

journalism, to gain newsroom promotions, and finally, to 

challenge unfair journalistic treatments. Today, as news 

organizations face issues of survival, diversity appears 

to have lost priority. This meeting, of the Trailblazers 

of Diversity Oral History Project Committee, will refine 

procedures, consider a post-mortem of interviews 

conducted so far, and plan ahead with additional 

interviews. All interested AEJMC members welcome.

Men, women, and even unaccompanied children flee 

their homes after experiencing persecution, trauma, and 

tragedy. Many refugees have witnessed gruesome acts; 

some have lost their family members to violence. Other 

refugees have fled to camps in the hopes of protecting 

themselves from disease, such as the Ebola virus. The

In academic publishing, “metrics” seem to be on 

everyone’s mind. What does the focus on metrics mean 

for scholars in journalism and media studies? How does 

it influence what we value and what we may not value 

in scholarship? After providing a quick, clear overview 

of SSCI, H indices, and their history, members of this 

panel will discuss how metrics can be used beneficially 

in ranking the value of scholarship and in the tenure 

and promotion process, as well as ethical problems they 

present and what they may hinder.

offensive to others? This panel will explore both.

The Ethics of “Global Journalism” with Purpose 

Panelists: 

Kashmir Hill, senior editor, Fusion’s Real Future 

David Hoffman, director of security policy & global 

privacy officer, Intel Corporation 

Rigo Wenning, legal counsel, World Wide Web 

Consortium (W3C) 

The world of digital ephemera is upon us. Applications 

like Snapchat and other privacy-plus media promise 

temporality for messages that used to seem permanent. 

California’s “online eraser button” law mandates that 

social media provide some way for minors to remove 

their former posts. The nascent “Right to Be Forgotten” in 

the European Union has ignited worldwide controversy. 

As articulated by the European Court of Justice, Europeans 

now have the right, under certain conditions, to ask 

search engines to remove links with personal information 

about them. Privacy advocates see the right as a crucial 

step in protecting privacy in a world where the Internet 

rarely forgets. Critics see the right as a threat to free 

speech, an attempt to erase history, and an excessive 

burden for tech companies.

Jan Shaffer, American 

The traditional functions assigned to the media— 

“watchdog” (news & civic conversation), coordination 

and socializing—may suffer as legacy media revenue 

declines, audiences fragment and newcomers offer 

content, entertainment, opinion, and information rather 

than “news.” Most people live in urban areas. Who will 

serve the needs of cities and urban communities? Can 

democratic processes survive when no one’s watching 

the conduct of public officials? How will communities 

balance the push versus pull issues of surveillance in the 

urban landscape? Is it enough to place the responsibility 

on those who pull the necessary information? Will 

technologies push out required information without our 

searching for items? Will journalistic entrepreneurs fill the 

void with online sites or blogs, and will anyone read or 

watch them? How informed will residents be about their 

communities? This panel will speak to the specific needs 

of our urban centers.

Medill Justice Project 


How to Create a Journalism Justice Project 

Tip 

at Your University 


Alec Klein, professor/director, The Medill Justice 

Project, Northwestern 

and Amanda Westrich, director of operations/ 

research associate, The Medill Justice Project, 

Northwestern 

Since 1999, students from Northwestern University’s 

The Medill Justice Project have investigated potentially wrongful murder 

convictions, uncovering revelatory information that has 

impacted people’s lives and the criminal justice system. 

Very few other journalism-based projects do this. That 

needn’t be the case. We want to share our knowledge 

so students at other universities can examine potentially 

wrongful convictions. In addition, The Medill Justice 

Project launched the Journalism Justice Network (http:// 

journalismjusticenetwork.org), an international coalition 

of investigative journalism enterprises made up of 

professional reporters, student and citizen journalists, 

journalism instructors and others who research, report 

and publish their findings about wrongdoings in the 

criminal justice system and their examination of 

potentially wrongful convictions. We want to provide 

an opportunity for those who are interested in criminal 

justice investigative reporting to join the Journalism 

Justice Network.

John King, Urban Design Critic, San Francisco 

Chronicle 

2015 Recipient Gene Burd Urban Journalism Award: 


Cartoons and comics have for centuries been a serious 

business. The first political cartoon in the U.S. appeared 

in Benjamin Franklin’s paper in 1754 and ever since 

cartoons and comics have amused, enraged, educated, 

and otherwise made us think about the human condition. 

In recent years comic art of all types has taken on new 

meanings and roles. Graphic novels have thrived and 

legacy comics are mined for rebranding in other media. 

The web now serves as conduit for both historical and 

contemporary forms of this art. This panel will discuss the 

role of comics as an urban communication form and how 

they serve as a powerful journalist voice.

Free Speech in the Middle East 

2013-2015 

Thursday, August 6, 2015 

10:00 – 11:30 a.m. 

Room: Nob Hill AB 

Northwestern University in Qatar conducted a large 

survey assessing news use and political and cultural 

attitudes in six Arab countries (Egypt, Tunisia, Lebanon, 

Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE) in 2013, and 

replicated the study in 2015. Data include feedback 

from over 6,000 randomly selected respondents in 

each of these years, permitting longitudinal 

comparisons. Through face-to-face interviews, these 

surveys assessed digital and traditional news 

consumption, attitudes toward free speech, political 

efficacy, and beliefs in media credibility. Explore the 

data at mideastmedia.org. 

NU-Q has assembled a panel of scholars and experts to 

discuss these findings, which represent particularly 

important topics given the ever-changing political 

environments of the greater Middle East. This project 

was supported by a NPRP grant from the Qatar 

National Research Fund.

SCHOOL of COMMUNICATIONS 

Sponsor of the San Fran App 

Elon is pleased to be the sponsor of AEJMC’s 

2015 conference app, offering convenient and 

up-to-date information on sessions and speakers 

throughout the San Francisco conference. 

The University 

Elon is a private university of 6,000 students in 

North Carolina. More than 10,000 students across 

the nation apply each year for 1,500 seats in the 

entering class. Elon is consistently rated as a leading 

university for engaged learning, with all classes 

ranging in size from 15 to 33 students. The five 

Elon Experiences are study abroad, undergraduate 

research, internships, service-learning and 

leadership. Three-fourths of Elon students 

study abroad by the time they graduate. 

The School 

Since its founding in 2000, the School of 

Communications has grown to 70 full-time faculty 

and staff and 20 percent of Elon’s student body. 

The latest accreditation team report calls the 

school’s growth in quality and quantity “nothing 

short of spectacular.” 

In fall 2014, the school launched the nation’s 

first major in Media Analytics, joining another 

new major in Communication Design. These 

complement existing multiplatform majors in 

Journalism, Strategic Communications, and 

Cinema & Television Arts.

The Elon Difference 

• The School of Communications operates a 

Los Angeles program with permanent West Coast 

staffing. Twenty students spent the spring in LA, 

and 60 are there this summer taking classes and 

completing professional internships. 

• The school partners each year with “60 Minutes” 

to offer a master class with a special twist. Students 

spend their spring break at CBS in New York, talking 

with “60 Minutes” staff about storytelling techniques. 

Back on campus, students produce their own show 

titled “30 Minutes.” 

• Another partner is the Pulitzer Center 

on Crisis Reporting. In winter 2015, two 

communications students – as part of the center’s 

Student Fellows program – traveled to Guatemala 

for six days to report on issues facing the Central 

American country and its population. 

• The school’s Imagining the Internet Center 

teamed with the Pew Research Center to survey 

thousands of experts, asking how they expect the 

Internet to evolve in coming years. This partnership has 

led to six books. Elon sends student/faculty teams to 

cover Internet Governance Forums and Internet Hall of 

Fame events around the globe. 

• Our school publishes the nation’s only 

undergraduate research journal in 

communications. The spring 2015 issue features 

11 student works on contemporary media topics. 

STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN the Elon in LA program 

have regularly scheduled film screenings, behind-the-scenes 

tours of productions in progress, and mentoring interactions 

with Elon alumni living and working in Los Angeles. 

• The School of Communications is home to the 

North Carolina Open Government Coalition and its 

Sunshine Center, which supports educational 

efforts and resources related to the importance of 

government transparency and civic engagement.

M.A. in Interactive Media 

Elon’s M.A. in Interactive Media degree prepares 

students to think strategically across platforms, 

create interactive media content, and manage 

information in a digital age. This year, iMedia 

students produced interactive projects for the 

public good in Costa Rica, Guatemala, Barbados 

and the Dominican Republic. The intensive 

10-month program serves 36 full-time students 

a year, and we just graduated our sixth class. 

A Partnership with Business 

The School of Communications has partnered 

with the Elon business school to create a 

Corporate Communications concentration 

in a one-year M.S. in Management degree. 

Business faculty teach the business courses, 

and Communications faculty teach corporate 

communications courses. The first class begins 

this month.

Coming in Fall 2016 

One of the nation’s finest communications schools

university broke ground this summer on two 

new buildings that will merge with two existing 

buildings to create a Communications Commons in 

the heart of Elon’s campus, which is a designated 

botanical garden. 

THE EXPANSION PROJECT will provide Elon 

students with an engaged learning environment 

and the tools and resources they need to succeed. 

A grand atrium will connect the current facility 

with a new building that will feature a 250-seat 

movie theatre. Student media will be converged, 

and one of the current studios will become 

transparent to an outdoor plaza.

Over the years, JMC has been an important academic 

discipline in higher education in Asia. It remains one of 

the most popular majors in some Asian countries. This 

“Global Connections” event of AEJMC aims to introduce 

AEJMC members to JMC education in Asia, as showcased 

in China, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and other 

countries. No doubt it will serve as an excellent case 

of “reverse perspective” for AEJMC in the global 21st 

century.

MASTER OF ARTS IN MASS COMMUNICATION 

Concentrations are available in the following areas: 

digital media, global media, Latinos and media, and strategic communication 

DIGITAL MEDIA 

Students in the digital media concentration balance skills and theoretical concepts in understanding the relationship between 

technology and media. They gain practical experience through our innovative South By Southwest project (SXTXState.com) and 

participation at other media conferences, including the International Symposium on Online Journalism (ISOJ) and the National 

Institute for Computer-Assisted Reporting (NICAR). I’m very proud of the way our graduates have performed in a range of 

digital roles across news organizations (The New York Times, National Public Radio), technology companies (Spredfast, 

Volusion, Blackbaud, Zenoss) and start-ups (Wayin, Social Distillery). 

– Dr. Cindy Royal, Associate Professor

HIGH-IMPACT 

PROGRAMS 

FOCUSING ON 

ACTION. 

The J. William and Mary Diederich College of Communication advances knowledge 

and prepares students for intellectual, professional and ethical leadership in a complex 

technological and multicultural world. Unique opportunities with leading industry partnerships 

enable Marquette students to work in the evolving world of journalism, digital media, and 

advertising and public relations. 

The Diederich College also seeks to extend attention and action through award-winning programs and events. 

These include student media, the Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service, Diederich Ideas, Sports.edu, 

the Insight Summit Series and the Great Lakes Environmental Film Festival, which is a new annual event 

focusing on themes of sustainability, environmental justice and ecological awareness in the media. 

Further, the college’s Perry and Alicia O’Brien Fellowship in Public Service Journalism each year enables 

professional journalists to spend nine months at Marquette reporting and writing in-depth stories that 

can change policies and improve lives by offering context, adding knowledge and spurring the public to 

act. They return to their companies with a world-class journalism project, mentor student journalists and 

present their work at an annual conference.

The mission of JouRnalist’s ResouRce is to 

promote the wider use of research in the news media. 

Our free, open-access database features more than 

1,500 articles summarizing studies on news topics, in 

addition to syllabi, tip sheets and interviews.

students easily find information that will deepen 

their work. Editors and researchers at Harvard’s 

Shorenstein Center update the site daily with content 

that is both timely and insightful.

on topics such as social media, race and criminal 

justice, and elections. Journalist’s Resource is an 

efficient and rich knowledge tool that unlocks 

scholarship and makes it deadline-friendly.

Where Students Learn 

Better student preparation. 

More student participation. 

Educators tell us these are the key components to 

a successful classroom experience. We designed 

LaunchPad to help make each of these a reality. 

In an easy-to-navigate online environment, 

LaunchPad brings together a variety of innovative 

digital learning tools that are proving to be 

supremely effective in helping students do their 

coursework, participate in class, and get better 

grades. We know this—because students and 

instructors have told us. 

Inside LaunchPad for Communication: 

LaunchPad Units 

LaunchPad organizes each textbook’s digital content (e-book, study tools, assessments) by chapter or unit. 

Instructors can assign these curated, pre-built units as is or customize them with additional LaunchPad resources 

or their own material. A complete course is just minutes away. 

Featured in LaunchPad 

LearningCurve—adaptive 

and individualized quizzing 

Interactive e-Book— 

with powerful study tools, 

multimedia content, and easy 

customization for instructors. 

Videos—Spanning the communication discipline from human 

communication to public speaking to mass communication, these 

embedded videos illustrate concepts, model speech techniques, 

or go behind the scenes with media professionals.

Through its teaching, research and public service, the Manship School of Mass Communication is committed to leading 

the study and practice of media and public affairs. Three new initiatives reinforce this signature interest and the school’s 

conviction about the importance of using technology to uncover and distribute information. 

LSU Manship in Washington 

In summer 2015, we launched LSU Manship in Washington, a program 

that teaches how the media and politicians interact, how officials build 

support for their agendas, how lobbyists and public affairs officers interact 

with journalists and how our government projects its messages abroad. 

Students in the inaugural class visited the White House, the Newseum, the 

Smithsonian and other important political and historical sites. 

fb.com/manshipschool 

@manshipschool 

www.manship.lsu.edu 

Statehouse Program 

In fall 2015, we’ll begin a statehouse 

program. Meeting in the state capitol, three 

miles from the LSU campus, students will 

learn the importance of and inner workings 

of state government. In the spring semester, 

they will cover state government for the 

Manship News Service, which distributes 

news to dozens of media organizations in 

Louisiana and southern Mississippi. 

Social Media Analysis 

and Creation Lab 

Also in fall 2015, we’ll begin teaching and conducting 

research in our new Social Media Analysis and 

Creation Lab, providing Manship students and faculty 

a space to gauge mass sentiment, and track, analyze 

and respond in real time to social media content. This 

lab is the third research facility in the school dedicated 

to promoting and enhancing academic and applied 

research.
