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 with 

2016 Update 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 with 2016 Update 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 digital jobs feature, this edition offers the most contemporary and 

compelling examinations yet of how the media industries connect, 

interlock, and converge.

Susan Du, City Pages 

Chao Xiong, Star Tribune 

This workshop is a response to the current climate of 

media coverage of race, to #blacklivesmatter, to the 

“post-racial” debate, and to journalists’ dilemma about 

how to and when to include race and ethnicity in news. 

Media analysts at Poynter have said repeatedly that, 

“Greater diversity equals greater accuracy and fairness.” 

Panelists will provide instruction for journalism educators 

in secondary and post-secondary education and 

professionals in the AEJMC conference host’s region. 

The workshop is interactive and meant to offer points for 

reflection, tips to overcome challenges, and specific tools 

for critical reporting in an age when such empowerment 

is desperately needed. Pre-registration is required.

theoretical development to better benefit journalism 

students and educators, and to mature as a legitimate 

subfield within and outside of journalism and mass communication 

(JMC). NSPA is well positioned to facilitate

Tip 

Algorithms play an increasingly large role in determining 

the content we find when we search for news and 

information online. Facebook, Twitter and Google are 

just some of the sites that rely heavily on algorithms to 

select and sort information. News outlets commonly rely 

on algorithms to optimize content production and tailor 

information to specific audiences. Algorithms take into 

account our search habits and preferences to present 

personalized results for web users (Pariser, 2011). The 

programmers behind popular algorithms essentially determine 

what type of content users will see. These hidden 

and automated editorial choices often promote certain 

values and specific worldviews, and also may elevate 

content providers to increased prominence. This panel 

session will provide journalism and mass communication 

educators with an overview of the important concepts 

related to algorithmic transparency and practical advice 

on how to teach these concepts to students. The panel 

will also offer hands-on examples to introduce the ideas 

of algorithmic content creation to students. By pulling 

back the curtain on algorithms, students can learn more 

about the ways that content is filtered and sorted online.

members will be housed in the School of Journalism and 

hold joint appointments in the MU College of Agriculture, 

Food and Natural Resources. They will also work closely 

with the Christopher S. Bond Life Science Center, other 

STEM programs across campus and the School’s Health 

Communication Research Center.

Institute for Computer-Assisted Reporting, both of which are 

headquartered at the School.

“Journalists and librarians 

make easy bedfellows: Both 

are in the information 

business — the journalist 

perhaps more preoccupied 

with gathering and presenting 

it, while the librarian 

is focused on manuevering 

through and organizing it.” 

– MediaShift.org: How J-School Professors, 

Librarians Teamed Up to Teach 

Data Skills at Kansas 

NAVIGATING DIGITAL FUTURES 

Our new online graduate certificates and master’s degree 

are a collaborative creation of journalism educators and 

librarians. Students earn certificates in data interpretation 

and communication or social media strategy. Certificates 

stand alone or combine to earn a master’s degree 

in digital content strategy.

How to Create a Journalism Justice 

Project at Your University 


Alec Klein, director, Medill Justice Project 

Tip 

Since 1999, students from Northwestern University’s awardwinning 

The Medill Justice Project (medilljusticeproject. 

org) have investigated potentially wrongful murder 

convictions, uncovering revelatory information that has 

impacted people’s lives and the criminal justice system 

across the United States. 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 (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.

Institute’s facilitators and staffers have led conversations 

on building more inclusive news coverage. The Institute’s 

innovative diversity training program teaches participants 

how to leverage differences in the workplace. Today 

organizations and institutions continue to struggle when 

addressing diversity issues. This particular panel will 

promote the exploration of ways in which faculty, staff 

and students can co-exist and function in diverse and 

inclusive environments. The Institute’s Fault Lines diversity

can influence media coverage and techniques used 

to facilitate intergroup dialogue, fostering intercultural 

understanding.

The State of Data and Computational Journalism 

Education: A Nationwide Study 


Charles Berret, Columbia 

Knight Foundation recently supported a project that 

includes an eye-opening study on the state of data

72 



and computational journalism education in the US, 

spearheaded by researchers from Columbia and Stanford. 

The sample for this study was comprised of the 113 

colleges and universities that are accredited by ACEJMC 

— and such an important topic needs to be front and 

center at AEJMC. Results showed that about half of the 

schools do not offer a single class in data journalism, 

despite its growing importance and demand in the field. 

There are many other very interesting findings and the 

results show a disparity in the teaching of different digital 

skills.

Greenlee School has been home to a long list of awardwinning 

students and faculty since journalism education 

was first offered at Iowa State College in 1905. We seek to 

build on our distinguished history and reputation as a top 

communication program as we engage a new leader for 

the next era of innovation and accomplishments. 

The Dean of Iowa State’s College of Liberal Arts

Search Committee are here at the AEJMC 

conference to talk with interested candidates. 

To schedule a time to meet with Dean Beate

With newspapers and magazines both disappearing

role of the architecture critic? How does writing about 

architecture relate to broader issues in journalism 

education today? What role does journalism education 

play in promoting and sustaining informed and lively 

reporting and criticism of the built and designed 

environment? What role do emerging media play in 

creating active forums for architecture to be analyzed 

and discussed? The 2016 Gene Burd Urban Journalism 

Award panel addresses these and other issue. The session

Our Public Policy Research Lab helps advance scholarly

services, including telephone, online, and mail surveys, inperson 

interviews and focus groups. The lab serves dozens of 

government, nonprofit and private clients, as well as scholars 

of the Manship School and across LSU. 

Our Media Effects Lab is a research and teaching facility 

dedicated to the exploration of how media consumers 

emotionally and cognitively process media content, as well as 

its psychological impact. Faculty and students use advanced 

experimental and survey methodologies to investigate 

conduct theoretical and applied problems. Researchers use a 

variety of cutting-edge measures including reaction time, eyetracking, 

heart rate and other physiological measures. 

Our Social Media Analysis and Creation Lab allows faculty and 

students to track social media content and respond to that 

content in real time. The lab features four 80-inch screens that 

allow us to use an extensive suite of software and services 

to track conversation and sentiment in real time around 

events such as presidential debates, branding campaigns or 

breaking news. Through the SMAC Lab, we will establish the 

Manship School as the pre-eminent program to study social 

media and public affairs.

Rodrigo Zamith 


Rodrigo Zamith has won the 2016 

Nafziger-White-Salwen Dissertation Award for 

“Editorial Judgment in an Age of Data: How 

Audience Analytics and Metrics Are Influencing the 

Placement of News.” 

Zamith's dissertation explores the emerging role 

of audience analytics and metrics at several 

newsrooms around the United States, focusing on 

the extent to which a key metric (page views) 

influenced editorial decisions pertaining to the 

placement of news content on those organizations' 

home pages. It also offers methodological 

guidance for using algorithms to computationally 

analyze aesthetic attributes of digital documents. 

Joshua A. Braun 


Joshua A. Braun published his book This Program 

Is Brought to You By... : Distributing Television 

News Online with Yale University Press in fall 

2015. 

Braun’s book examines how an important but 

largely unseen group maintains the online 

distribution channels for television news 

programming. Using fieldwork and exclusive 

interviews within MSNBC, Braun uncovers and 

explains how online distribution networks are 

forged and how the work of maintaining them has 

rapidly become central to the media landscape.

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 Belize, Costa Rica, Guatemala, 

Ireland and the Dominican Republic. The intensive 

10-month program serves 36 full-time students 

a year, and we just graduated our seventh 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 

program’s inaugural class graduated in 2016. 

INTERACTIVE MEDIA graduate students spend 

January working on a team project for the public 

good, which includes an international trip to 

collect audio and video content. Interactive content 

and websites are produced to help nonprofit 

organizations build community recognition, 

increase volunteer efforts and boost fundraising.

David Dowling, Iowa 

Literary Journalism and the Digital Age: 

Consequences of Eliminating the Gatekeeper 

Amy Mattson Lauters, Minnesota State, Mankato 

Literary journalism, like perhaps all journalism in the 

digital age, will have to accept the obligation to sell 

itself: to its audience(s); as a claimant to a place in the 

journalism education curriculum; and as an object of 

cultural production that has unique – indeed irreplaceable 

– social value. This obligation is unsettling in many ways. 

In a time when publishers not only track page views, 

but also the scroll point at which readers’ attention 

drifts elsewhere, will literary journalism practitioners 

succumb to the pressure to “click bait and hold” in 

ways that threaten the quality of their work? Or are 

quality and depth integral to what keeps readers reading? 

What other elements (multimedia, data visualization, 

photojournalism) matter? How do these pressures affect 

the literary journalism scholarship and how educators 

teach literary journalism as genre, craft, and source of 

meaning?

One of the nation’s finest communications schools 

soon will be in one of the nation’s finest facilities. 

Two new buildings will merge with two existing 

buildings to create a Communications Commons in 

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

botanical garden. 

A grand atrium (left) will connect the current 

facility with a new building that will feature a 

230-seat movie theatre. Student media will be 

converged, and one of the current studios (bottom 

left) will become transparent to an outdoor plaza.

Literary Journalism: Exploring the Genre 


Lisa Philips, SUNY New Paltz 

Panelists 

The Forever War as Transnational Literary 

Journalism 

Joshua Roiland, Maine, Orono 

Researching the Effectiveness and Sustainability 

of Long-Form Multimedia Journalism Studies 

Jacqueline Marino, Kent State; 

Robert Gutsche, Jr. 

and Susan Jacobson, Florida International 

Literary journalism, like perhaps all journalism in the 

digital age, will have to accept the obligation to sell 

itself: to its audience(s); as a claimant to a place 

in the journalism education curriculum; and as an 

object of cultural production that has unique – indeed 

irreplaceable – social value. This obligation is unsettling 

in many ways. In a time when publishers not only 

track page views, but also the scroll point at which 

readers’ attention drifts elsewhere, will literary journalism 

practitioners succumb to the pressure to “click bait 

and hold” in ways that threaten the quality of their 

work? Or are quality and depth integral to what keeps 

readers reading? What other elements (multimedia, data 

visualization, photojournalism) matter? How do these 

pressures affect the literary journalism scholarship and 

how educators teach literary journalism as genre, craft, 

and source of meaning?

DISCOVER A NEW PERSPECTIVE 

Becoming a leader in communication isn’t just about mastering today’s technology—it’s about knowing 

what comes next. With record enrollment, new undergraduate programs in advertising creative 

and advocacy communication, new graduate programs in digital storytelling and global strategic 

communication, Loyola University Chicago had become a leading-edge program. We have awardwinning 

faculty and students, world-class facilities and are located steps away from the country’s best 

media companies. Add to that the fact that all we teach and do is grounded in ethics and social justice 

and you’ll see why so many students are choosing Loyola for a competitive edge.

OUR PROGRAMS 

Master Mass 


Earn your Master’s degree 

online at UF 

Too many of today’s institutions offer graduate 

education based on curricula developed in 

the twentieth century. At the University of 

Florida, we’ve designed master’s programs for 

a new age. These six specializations are offered 

completely online, all with a professional focus 

and grounded in application and real-world 

problem solving. All of our programs are led 

by professionals and academics guided by a 

philosophy of mentoring and coaching. Where 

you earn your degree matters. At UF, stay in 

your career and apply insights from every class 

at work the next day – and stay sharp for the 

rest of your career with our lifelong learning 

opportunity, Master Access. 

Audience Analytics 

Left brain, meet right brain. Every organization needs to understand 

the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of its audiences, but few have a 

data professional able to skillfully translate findings from complicated 

numbers into actionable insights. 

Global Strategic 

Communication 

Thousands of organizations, from small business to multinationals, 

communicate with global audiences. Distinguish yourself by 

honing culturally-sensitive creative skills, polished communication 

competencies, and leadership and business acumen. 

Public Interest 

Communication 

Social movements need more than a good idea. Learn the secrets for 

driving positive social change. Public interest communication draws 

on accumulated knowledge from a wide variety of disciplines and 

focuses on persuasion, systems-level thinking, and strategic planning. 

Public Relations and 

Communication Management 

Develop effective communication strategies and messaging, master 

the essentials of business and finance, apply public relations theories, 

extract actionable insights from metrics and evaluation, engage in 

digital social advocacy, and effectively use tools and approaches. 

Social Media 

Think big. Engage. Measure. Generate big ideas and share them 

through finely-honed storytelling skills. Assess social media ROI by 

measuring audience engagement and activity. Craft social media 

marketing plans for real-world clients and brands. 

Web Design and Online 

Communication 

Design. Code. Communicate. This comprehensive specialization 

focuses students on essential competencies in design, coding, layout, 

scripting and SEO. Become an expert in Web software tools, create 

sites from the ground up, develop stunning artwork for actual clients. 

Online Graduate 

Certificate Options 

Learn more on our website at 

onlinemasters.jou.ufl.edu 

Not ready to earn a full master’s degree? A graduate certificate from 

the University of Florida provides valuable skills in a shorter program 

of study. Certificate students take four classes. And, if you like what 

you are studying, apply for the master’s program and count the 

classes towards your degree. We offer graduate certificate programs in 

Cross Media Sales, Web Conversion, Global Strategic Communication, 

Social Media, and Web Design.
