“Administrators from seven journalism programs gathered in Chicago 

on April 5, 1917, to create a new organization designed to establish standards 

for journalism programs, and help the field be recognized by the industry. Three 

other programs supported the organization’s creation but could not attend. Dues 

were set at $20 and Dean Walter Williams of the University of Missouri, who was 

the main instigator for forming the group, was elected the first president, a role in 

which he served for four years.”

A SHORT HISTORY OF THE ASSOCIATION 

OF SCHOOLS OF JOURNALISM AND MASS 

COMMUNICATION: 

Leadership Across 100 Years 

Most information provided from Seventy-Five Years of 

Journalism and Communication Leadership: The History of the 

Association of Schools of Journalism and Mass Communication. 

This book was published in 1993 by ASJMC. 

Background 

As journalism schools and departments started at universities in the early 1900s, Willard Bleyer 

of the University of Wisconsin Madison thought the time had come to create an organization 

to support and encourage journalism faculty. His colleague, Dean Walter Williams of the 

University of Missouri, was a key supporter of the idea. Williams was among the first organizers 

and presenters at the 1912 first official meeting of the American Association of Teachers of 

Journalism (AATJ). At that meeting, Williams reported that he had identified 32 colleges and 

universities offering some form of journalism instruction. 

Williams was pleased with the initial success of the AATJ and was an active participant of 

the new association. However, he soon realized that his own sternly held notions of what a 

journalism school should be were not universally shared by his colleagues around the country 

(p. 59). 

The Beginning 

In 1916, Williams felt the time had come to distinguish what he regarded as the more professional 

programs from the rest. He contacted administrators from within the AATJ and invited 

them to join with him to create a separate organization of journalism schools (p. 60). 

“It began at 2:30 p.m. on April 5,1917, at the LaSalle Hotel in Chicago, just prior to the AATJ 

meeting. By that time journalism administrators at 10 institutions volunteered that they were 

in agreement as to what an effective journalism program should be, and they became charter 

members of the American Association of Schools and Departments of Journalism (AASDJ)... 

Williams was elected president. The members then moved with some dispatch through an 

agenda that saw them: 

• levy annual dues of $20 per school; 

• allow member schools to accept 24 semester units in journalism courses, with editorial 

writing and history and principles of journalism (two units each) as requirements 

in addition to news writing and reporting (six units) and copy editing (3 units); 

• and adopt a modest straightforward constitution declaring that to be eligible for or 

admission to AASDJ a school or department journalism program must be housed at a 

four-year institution, have at least two fulltime journalism teachers and offer practical 

laboratory work.” (p. 60-61)

Due to the disruption of World War I shortly after its founding, the association’s activity did 

not really resume until its next meeting in 1920. Williams remained president during that 

time. 

The new association of schools of journalism focused on providing a quality education to 

students and on the need for reporters to have a college education. AASDJ provided a template 

of what courses should be taught in a school of journalism. This was an early predecessor 

to the accreditation process. AASDJ also made strong connections with professionals. 

As schools asked to join the association, the executive committee looked at the courses the 

school offered, and made a decision on membership. The number of members grew steadily. 

The association worked with AATJ to to promote faculty to conduct research in the discipline. 

AATJ started Journalism Quarterly in 1924 and AASDJ committed to providing $40 in support 

of each issue. [ This amount of money is equivalent to $558 in 2017.] 

AASDJ played a key role in developing a set of standards for journalism schools. In 1924 the 

group developed a “Principles and Standards” document for journalism schools, which was 

also approved by AATJ. In the early 1930s AASDJ and AATJ created a Council on Education 

for Journalism. Tthe Newspaper Publishers Association was given a voting seat on the 

Council. Years later, this Council lead to the creation of a free-standing Accreditation Council. 

AASDJ continued to meet in conjunction with AATJ. 

A Second Administrative Association 

By 1944, schools that were not part of AASDJ, were ready for an association that would 

unite them with other schools across the country. Its purpose would be to provide a place to 

learn from each other, and share information and issues. The new association was called the 

American Society of Journalism School Administrators (ASJSA). It started with 14 members. 

The first president was Perley Issac Reed of West Virginia University. ASJSA created a system 

of surveys on current administrative issues, and created an award to recognize a publication 

that provided distinctive service to journalism. The first award was presented in 1946 to Editor 

& Publisher. ASJSA created a publication for its members in 1945. Called “ASJSA Bulletin,” it 

was renamed in 1958 to Journalism Educator. Educator was incorporated into the AEJ family 

of publications in 1970. 

As the years passed leaders of the two association grew closer and most of the schools were 

members of both associations. By 1981, discussion of merging the two associations was gain- 

ing traction. In 1982 AASDJ voted to change its name to Association of Schools of Journalism 

and Mass Communication (ASJMC). By 1984, the members of ASJSA had approved a merger 

with ASJMC, and ASJMC members approved the merger as well. ASJSA was officially dissolved 

and its assets turned over to ASJMC. Ironically, the last president of ASJSA was Emery 

“Pete” Sasser of West Virginia University. 

Two Associations Become One 

The association started as a merged association in late 1984. It started off with a strong first 

project in 1985: finding the first “Journalist-in-Space.” The association received a phone call 

from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). They asked if the association 

was interested in working with them to find a journalist to ride on the Space Shuttle and 

report from space. As part of NASA’s “Citizens in Space” program, a journalist was to be the 

second civilian in space. The first was a teacher, who had already been selected. The answer 

was a strong “Yes.” 

“It began at 2:30 p.m. on April 5, 1917, at the LaSalle Hotel in Chicago, 

just prior to the AATJ meeting. By that time journalism administrators 

at 10 institutions volunteered that they were in agreement as to what 

an effective journalism program should be......”

The association officers developed a process, got the program underway. 

Additional staff had been hired to oversee the project. An application was 

created and the call was issued. Association members hosted regional selection 

committees, and then regional interviews to narrow the list of candidates. 

It was January 28, 1986, and the program was moving ahead. It was the day 

the Teacher-in-Space was on Board the shuttle. The steering committee for 

the program was flying to Houston the next day to watch the Teacher-in- 

Space teach to children around the world. It was process that the selected 

Journalist-in-Space would also use to report from space. One ASJMC staffer 

was already in Houston watching the launch in the control center. 

And then the Challenger broke apart a few seconds into lift-off killing all 

seven on board. Phones started ringing in the ASJMC Central Office, while 

in Houston there was complete silence and then a frenzy of activity. It was 

a heart-rending day. As NASA put the project on hold, ASJMC officers contacted 

all the finalists about their continued interest in the project. Everyone 

confirmed their continued interest – and strong support for the for the program. 

But it was not to be. NASA decided that it would not move forward 

with this project anytime in the foreseeable future. 

While the association was not able to complete the project, it did provided 

ASJMC with recognition on a national stage, and provided a $50,000 pocket 

of funds for the association’s reserves. 

ASJMC continued to provide resources for schools and administrators. A 

salary survey was created and Winter workshops were developed. The workshops 

focused on current issues facing the schools. Professionals were also 

invited. The workshops provided a networking opportunity for members, 

and some made calls to possible donors. As administrators moved into the 

year 2000, fund-raising was taking more and more of their time. 

In 2006, the association adopted a new Mission Statement. 

“The Association of Schools of Journalism and Mass Communication 

is an organization of leaders — deans, directors and chairs of journalism 

and mass communication programs in college and universities. 

The organization seeks to extend collectively on a national and 

even an international level the individual leadership its members 

practice on their campuses. This organization will work to ensure 

that its constituents innovate, manage and lead in a media marketplace 

undergoing fundamental change. It will work to ensure that j/ 

mc programs broaden, deepen and invigorate the professions they 

serve, working with them to innovate and lead.” 

The mission statement remains just as relevant today, as it was 11 years ago. 

As ASJMC enters its next 100 years, it will continue to provide a place where 

administrators can gather and learn from each other. It will be a resource for 

information, a place to network, a safe place to ask questions, and a place 

to develop future leaders.

AEJMC Conference in Oregon (missed!) 

“The first AEJMC conference for me was in Corvallis, OR., in 1983, except that 

I missed it. Entirely my fault. I was in South Korea for research in the summer of 

1983, and the Law Division’s letter of my paper acceptance did not reach me in 

Seoul (no email notification!). Regardless, I could not have led so fulfilling a life 

as a scholar-teacher if I had not been associated with AEJMC throughout the years. 

AEJMC has provided me with a unique opportunity to network with many firstclass 

jmc scholars and practitioners and to keep up with the cutting-edge information 

on my specialty. Most important, I’ve never stopped being inspired by the 

unwavering commitment of its members to pursuing the highest standards of excellence 

in teaching, research, and public service.”

Digital Storytelling and Data-Driven Journalism for

Sahel Zarinfard, University of Vienna, Austria 

Respondent 

Emily Metzgar, Indiana 

This panel brings together scholars and professional journalists 

from five countries (Austria, Bangladesh, China, 

Chile, Czech Republic, Egypt, Iran, Lebanon, and The 

Philippines) to consider the role of leadership in mediated 

public diplomacy. Focused on nation branding, social 

media campaigns, citizen activism and government-led 

efforts in traditional and online contexts, the case studies 

presented here consider a total of eight different international 

entities (Austria, Bangladesh, China, Chile, Czech 

Republic, Egypt, Iran, Lebanon, and The Philippines) and 

shed light on a range of nation branding efforts and other 

activities intended to influence public opinion abroad. 

Incorporation of presenters from five different continents 

and consideration of several entities whose mediated 

efforts typically fly under the radar both position this discussion 

to make a valuable contribution to understanding 

the practice of public diplomacy in a context extending 

well beyond “the usual suspects.”

My First Conference 

“My first AEJMC was in 2000 in Phoenix. I remember 110 degrees. And I remember 

going back for the Fall semester energized with new ideas. I got Civic 

Journaism materials from Jan Schaefer and the Pew Center for Civic Journalism 

and have continued to have a beneficial professional relationship through her 

work that intersects with my interests. Overall, I remember getting so many 

new ideas and insights–in a perfect balance coming from other faculty along 

with speakers from the industry. I’ve only missed one AEJMC conference since, 

and I continue to find it be of my best professional experiences. I have many 

other great AEJMC memories, but as we know, you never forget your first time.”

The AEJMC conference theme “Closing the Gap: Media, 

Research and the Profession” seeks to address industry 

innovations and a widening divide between media educators 

and professionals. Professionals no longer need 

some of the skills taught in our classes, and, too often, 

research conducted by educators is no longer relevant 

to a rapidly evolving industry. In October 2016, AEJMC 

President Paul Voakes created the AEJMC Presidential 

Task Force on Bridges to the Profession to develop ideas 

to bridge the gap between the media industry and academia.

The Medill Justice Project 

Panel Session 

How to Create a Journalism Justice Project 

at Your University 


Alec Klein, professor and director, The Medill 

Justice Project 

Since 1999, students from Northwestern University’s 

award-winning 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. 

Wednesday 

This task force session will engage conference attendees 

in an interactive open forum to manifest the 2017 conference 

theme “Closing the Gap: Media, Research and 

the Profession.” Our goal for this session is a fast-paced, 

informed and participatory discussion. Panelists will offer 

brief remarks, then address issues suggested by attendees. 

If you have suggestions for issues or ideas that we might 

discuss, please email them to Task Force Co-Chair Deb 

Aikat (da@unc.edu), North Carolina at Chapel Hill, with 

the email subject line “2017 Bridges.” The agenda for this 

interactive session will come from issues and ideas raised 

by AEJMC members like you.

the KTA chapter adviser, she inducted a record number of outstanding students this year.

James T. Hamilton 

★ Frank Luther Mott-Kappa Tau Alpha Research Award 

★ Goldsmith Book Prize, Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy, 

Harvard Kennedy School of Government 

“An extraordinarily precise and painstaking examination of the state of investigative 

journalism in the United States . . . Hamilton’s book should command the attention of every 

citizen who is concerned about the implications for our democracy when sunlight, which is 

the best disinfectant against corruption and incompetence, is obscured and blocked.” 

—Glenn C. Altschuler, Huffington Post 

“In riveting detail, Hamilton meticulously examines the storied history of investigative 

journalism in America, chronicles its current malaise, and makes a convincing case that 

pouring resources into gumshoe reporting makes economic sense for sclerotic news 

organizations. Why? Because readers hunger for more of it and are willing to pay to read it.”

Our AEJMC Family 

“I attended my first AEJ (it had no MC then) convention in 1968 at the University 

of Kansas in the day when we met on college campuses. I was one of the few 

women there–it was the time when our profession was overwhelmingly male. 

But I experienced the welcome of community, family and strong friendships 

which have always been the hallmark of our organization. There have been 

many memories over the years…coed bathrooms in the dorms, sing-a-longs 

late nights in dorm hallways…Tom Wolfe in his white suit at the University 

of South Carolina…the Second Line Parade and a rainbow of beads in 

New Orleans…the boat ride across Boston harbor…the intense heat in Phoenix. 

But the greatest memory is evoked each year as we gather in a new city, greet 

friends we have not seen for a year and pick up and continue a conversation as 

if we have left off only yesterday…coming home to family.”

Putting Skills Into Practice 

The School of Communications strongly encourages 

its students to get involved in student media and 

campus organizations to enhance their ability to 

write, edit, analyze, take video and photographs, and 

produce multimedia content that reaches a broad 

audience. Our students have responded, creating 

accurate, thoughtful and often award-winning work. 

ELON COMPLETELY 

ELON COMPLETELY renovated the Jane and Brian 

Williams Studio, a versatile broadcast center with 

all-LED lighting, flexible sets and exterior windows to 

downtown Elon. The expansion project also includes 

a new multiplatform student newsroom as well 

as headquarters for Live Oak Communications, a 

student-run strategic communications agency. 

In 2017, “Elon Local News,” the broadcast news show 

of Elon News Network, was awarded a top prize in 

the Broadcast Education Association’s Festival of 

Media Arts. The newscast also produced its first-ever

Even in the era of social media and Donald Trump, does 

good mainstream journalism still matter? Do U.S. journalists 

still hold the same values and ethical standards as 

they did in earlier decades? The renowned authors of 

the American Journalist series will reveal key findings of 

their new study, and the panel will explore implications 

from the academic and professional points of view.

Rebecca Blatt, Arizona State 

Panelists 

Jay Alabaster, Arizona State

Do student journalists need to learn code to compete in 

the digital world? More journalism schools are encouraging 

and some are requiring their students to learn basic 

code in the belief that know how to create basic web 

pages and code them has become as fundamental and 

critical skill as grammar. Faculty from Arizona State 

University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and 

Mass Communication, USC’s Annenberg School for 

Communication and Journalism and others will address 

the various ways journalism and mass communication 

programs are addressing this issue and will offer suggestions 

on how to teach and make room for coding in 

journalism curricula.

Tip 

Getting two classes to collaborate on a semester-long

project can be challenging enough. Yet today more 

and more schools are taking multi-class projects to new 

dimensions. Done correctly, these for-credit experiences 

can be a learning tool for students and a resource for 

the community at large. This panel will take a look at 

how ASU’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and 

Mass Communication was able to provide a coordinated 

learning experience for more than 100 graduate and 

undergraduate students and produce Hooked RX: from 

prescription to addiction, a multi-platform depth reporting 

project. The effort resulted in a documentary that was 

simulcast in English and Spanish on all the television and 

radio stations in the state of Arizona.

The steadfast growth of cities over the last 200 years 

has continued into the 21st century. More than half the 

world’s population now lives in cities. This has thrown 

ethnic communities into close proximity mixing languages 

and customs that sometimes make communication 

difficult. However, immigrants in cities around the world 

have found common ground in the human aspiration to 

excel in sports. This panel will explore sports as shared 

experience that promotes communication and understanding 

for immigrant communities in cities across the 

globe.

Visiting Professors in Social Media as they share their 

practical takeaways for teaching social media. For the 

past seven years, the Scripps Howard Foundation has 

funded a visiting professors program that puts educators 

in media outlets for two weeks during the summer 

so that they can see first-hand how social media are 

being used to deliver news and information. This session 

will feature our visiting professor experiences with 

partner outlets C-SPAN (Washington, DC); the Dallas 

Morning News (Dallas, TX); DigitasLBi Chicago (Chicago, 

IL); the Post and Courier (Charleston, SC); Scripps 

Washington Bureau (Washington, DC); and WCPO- 

TV and wcpo.com (Cincinnati, OH). Learn how these 

professors incorporated their two-week “externships” into 

their classrooms and how they benefited from reciprocal

we use the traditional art and craft of building a 

narrative, and infuse it with an understanding of 

tomorrow’s media and today’s audiences. 

Change takes diversity... 

we are inclusive. Because challenges to conventional 

thinking reminds us that new ideas come 

from new perspectives. 

Change takes results... 

for us, the final assessment is whether each student 

is prepared for a good career — careers in the 

always-changing world of media and culture. 

Our alumni hold positions at top organizations 

in advertising, journalism, PR, and beyond. 

Change is good.

A View from the Cafeteria, 1979 

“My first AEJ conference was in 1979, at the University of Houston. I was a newly minted Ph.D. – 

and also a little pregnant (although my mother reminds me how this is all-or-none, so one cannot 

be “a little” pregnant). The sessions were great: As someone teaching in a tiny department where 

I was the only one interested in journalism, I was thrilled to be there, to learn from people I had 

read or read about. What was intimidating, however, was going to the cafeteria for meals, since 

in those university-based days of conventions, we lived in dormitories and we ate our meals, at 

designated times, in cafeterias. I entered the cafeteria and faced what seemed like a sea of men, 

mostly white-haired, seemingly all wearing identical white or blue short-sleeved shirts. I felt, and 

probably was, quite conspicuous. At first I was surprised that, as soon as I sat down with my tray, 

people asked me whose wife I was. Then I realized that the assumption was that I was there as 

“wife.” To my relief, I soon found Renee Hobbs – another woman not there as “wife.” No long 

after, the number of women seemed to increase exponentially. Meanwhile, people were always 

friendly and helpful. And going to AEJMC meetings continues to be gratifying and satisfying. I also 

learn.”

CMCI 

CU Boulder’s 

College of Media, 

Communication and 

Information 

congratulates 

Professor Paul Voakes 

on his successful year 

as president of AEJMC. 

Voakes, who succeeded our own 

Dean Lori Bergen as AEJMC president, 

created this year’s theme, “Bridging the 

Gap Between Media Educators and 

Practitioners.” He appointed a Presidential 

Task Force to explore what AEJMC can 

do as an organization to make some portion 

of our academic work—our teaching, our 

research and our outreach—more relevant 

to the myriad challenges media professions 

are facing. 

Professor Voakes recently completed a term 

as chair of CMCI’s Department of Journalism 

and led the department through a successful 

reaccreditation process.

Think. 

Leysia Palen, chair of the Department of Information Science, listens as a student explains his project at the Information Science Expo. 

A college that 

breaks barriers 

Our interdisciplinary approach unites 

students and faculty from seven academic 

specialties to work with and learn from 

each other. Students master their chosen 

fields and expand their knowledge of closely 

related subjects. Faculty members explore 

problems from different perspectives and 

collaborate to find new and better solutions. 

A warm welcome 

to our new 

faculty members!

In our commitment to the 2017 AEJMC conference theme 

“Closing the Gap: Media, Research and the Profession,” 

we are hosting research microtalks (2 to 3 minutes) on 

South Asia or the South Asian diaspora. Research microtalks 

were selected through a peer-reviewed competition. 

The AEJMC South Asia Initiative, which currently 

constitutes 520 members worldwide, was instituted at 

the AEJMC 2015 conference in San Francisco. With over 

one-fourth of the world’s population, South Asia has 

emerged as an important region for media and journalism, 

politics, international relations, health communication, 

culture and other relevant areas that enrich the 

research repertoire in our field. If you have questions

Cronkite School exposes 

opioid crisis in Arizona 

Hooked: Tracking Heroin’s Hold on Arizona 

More than 1 million viewers across Arizona watched 

the school’s 30-minute documentary on heroin 

addiction. The documentary aired in early 2015 on 

every TV station and most radio stations in the state 

through a partnership with the Arizona Broadcasters 

Association. 

The students’ work captured two regional Emmy 

Awards and the coveted Alfred I. duPont-Columbia 

University Award – the first time these honors have 

gone to a journalism school project.

Hooked Rx: From Prescription to Addiction 

Cronkite News returned to the topic of addiction 

in 2017 with a documentary focusing on the 

national epidemic of prescription drug abuse. 

Since 2015, more than 

200 Cronkite students have 

reported on the opioid 

crisis in Arizona, producing

Shaping Our Future: 


Northwestern’s global expansion reached a new level in 2008 with the opening of a campus overseas: 

Northwestern University in Qatar. The Qatar campus offers a premier Northwestern education in global 

media, journalism, and communication. 

The Journalism and Strategic Communication Program includes multimedia, digital, interactive media, 

print, and broadcast and leads to a Bachelor of Science degree in Journalism awarded by Northwestern’s 

Medill School of Journalism, Media, and Integrated Marketing Communications. 

The Communication Program, with curricular offerings in the areas of media production, media 

organizations and industries, and communication/media theory, leads to a Bachelor of Science degree in 

Communication with a major in Media Industries and Technologies, awarded by Northwestern’s School of 

Communication. 

All NU-Q students are provided with a solid liberal arts education designed to broaden and enrich the 

study and understanding of human expression and interaction. 

Research is central to our profile, including institutional research efforts, the centerpiece of which is the 

longitudinal Media Use in the Middle East study, conducted annually since 2013, as well as a new initiative 

that tracks media industries in the Middle East. 

The school’s new 515,000 square-foot building includes: 

• Newsroom with the components of major broadcast news studio – a news desk, an area for panel 

discussions, and a social media screen. Using a feed from live newswires, students will have access to 

information to transform into stories, graphics, and other digital visualization elements. It will have its 

own control room, with the ability to produce live reports across multiple platforms. 

• The largest sound-stage in the Middle East region 

• Projection theater, which features a 4K cinema and 7.1 Dolby surround sound 

• Three production studios, each designed to serve a specific purpose 

• A studio to allow students to reproduce everyday sound effects that are added to film, video, and other 

multimedia projects; and a 4K mastering room, which is equipped to completely edit a digital 

cinema-quality film

A Journalism Education Partnership 

“Poynter’s e-learning project, News University, owes much to its relationship 

with AEJMC. In 2006 NewsU is just getting started and wanted to let 

journalism educators know what it had to offer. The result, thanks to the 

help of AEJMC’s HQ, was one of our most fun promotions — the USB giveaway. 

Sign up for a free account and you got a wrist band USB drive in the 

official NewsU orange. Still pretty cool in 2012. 

Thanks, AEJMC members, for making NewsU such a success.”

The UO SOJC offers two research-based graduate degrees that take a 

critical approach to scholarship in communication and media issues, 

as well as three professional master’s degrees that blend hands-on 

learning with critical and ethical thinking. 

Multimedia Journalism Master’s program: Change the world by telling its stories. 

Become a professional content creator with the journalistic and technological skills to 

engage, inform, and make a difference. Based in downtown Portland, this flexible 18-month 

program focuses on multimedia storytelling using state-of-the-art, digital-age tools. 

Strategic Communication Master’s program: Learn how to develop communication 

strategies that will achieve your organization’s goals and advance your career. This 

Portland-based graduate program is designed for working professionals, with classes in the 

evenings and on weekends. Our students walk away with the critical thinking, analysis, and 

practical skills to create and execute content strategies that get real results. 

Journalism Master’s program: Learn how to break news, tell human stories, and uncover 

the world using the craft of journalism and cutting-edge tools to inform and transform 

society. During this full-time, one-year residential program in Eugene, students learn story 

research and development, fact finding, writing, and multimedia skills while working with 

Pulitzer Prize–winning professionals and recognized researchers in the fields of journalism 

and communication. 

Media Studies PhD program: The Eugene-based doctoral program trains candidates 

to research interdisciplinary questions related to media studies while exploring the 

cultural, economic, and political analysis of communication and society. Faculty strengths 

include media institutions; ethics, law, and policy; and international and multicultural 

communication. The program emphasizes quantitative and qualitative methodologies as 

well as preparation for teaching in higher education. 

Media Studies Master’s program: Aligned with our doctoral program, the Media Studies 

master’s exposes students to a wide range of ideas concerning the structure, function, and 

role of communication in society. Faculty strengths include media institutions; ethics, law 

and policy; and international and multicultural communication. 

The UO SOJC 

welcomes Seungahn 

Nah as the incoming

national priority. The Association for

and community groups to expand 

News Engagement Day. 

Help show current and future generations 

that being informed is empowering, enjoyable, 

and essential for a healthy democracy.

SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATION 

MEET OUR NEW EXPERT FACULTY 

CHRIS YIM 

spent 16 years at Porter 

Novelli in Seoul, South 

Korea, most recently 

serving as CEO and 

executive vice president. Working

her experience will be invaluable to 

our global strategic communication 

program. Professor Yang holds a PhD 

from Sungkyunkwan University. 

MICHAEL LIMÓN 

brings with him a wealth 

of journalism experience 

as a reporter, editor, and 

manager, including stints 

as business editor of the Salt Lake 

Tribune, executive editor of the Fort 

Collins Coloradoan, and managing 

editor of the Tucson Citizen. Professor 

Limón is a top-rated teacher and 

will also be advising our top-ranked 

SPJ chapter. 

JING YANG 

joins us as a digital 

advertising expert. 

Holding her PhD from 

Michigan State University, 

Professor Yang is excited to get to 

work in partnership with some of 

Chicago’s top agencies. She has a 

distinct vision for how advertising 

will work in the future—using a new 

model she has created, grounded 

in advertising, communication, and 

persuasion theories.

Public Religion and Public 

Scholarship in the Digital Age 

Research, collaboration, 

and public scholarship in 

media studies and religious 

studies to develop new 

ways of studying and 

understanding religion in 

the digital age. Supported 

by a $500,000, 3-year 

grant from the Henry 

Luce Foundation. 

“Religion is more and 

more prominent in 

contemporary political 

and social life. This 

project begins with 

the fact that religion’s 

role is increasingly a 

role defined by modern 

media.” – Stewart Hoover 

of the Center for Media, 

Religion and Culture 

in the College of 

Media, Communication 

and Information.

grown to more than 100 students in its first two years. Students complete a 30-hour, 

asynchronous program that is 100% online with no residency requirement. The program 

offers flexibility so students can take as many or as few courses as they want each 

semester, depending on their individual work/life schedules and needs. 

TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR STUDENTS 

This program was so much more than readings, lectures, and papers. I was actually able to take the things I was 

learning in my classes and apply them in my job. I have always been a great communicator, but after only a few classes 

my superiors took note of my growth and began to turn to me as more of a communication expert. Ultimately, I was 

rewarded with the communications job I have always wanted. – April Chavez, Spring ‘17 

I loved being able to take the course material and go into work the next day and apply it directly to my job as a social media 

marketing manager. The classes allowed me to work full-time and complete my course requirements and the professors were 

all so great and understood that I was hours away and worked a full-time job! – Kaitlin Thogmartin, Spring ‘17 

The program provided me with a more in-depth understanding of the digital professional global environment and has 

better prepared me for my future career in London! – Madison Tatum, Fall ‘17
