Sacred Spaces Tour: Detroit Edition 


Brian J. Bowe, Western Washington/American in Cairo 

After two years of hiatus, the Religion and Media Interest Group is once again hosting its annual Sacred Spaces bus 

tour of important religious sites around the city. The tour lasts all day and will include a stop for lunch. A complete 

itinerary will be provided to participants closer to the conference, but confirmed stops include the Islamic Center of 

America (the largest mosque in North America) and Congregation Shaarey Zedek (one of the oldest Jewish 

communities in Michigan). There is no charge for the bus tour, but participants will be responsible for purchasing 

their own lunches, and a gratuity for the bus driver is recommended. Because we will be visiting sacred spaces, 

participants are asked to dress modestly – no shorts, short skirts, or exposed shoulders. Some sites may ask women 

to cover their hair, so it requested to bring a scarf along.

Organized by:

Hosted by Indian Country Today editor-at-large Mark Trahant, this half-day workshop will explore the complex 

relationships between Indigenous communities and media of all kinds, from news to entertainment to social 

platforms. It will also be a space for discussing the challenges of including these topics in journalism and media 

studies curricula, often in the absence of Indigenous faculty or others personally familiar with the topic. Key themes 

will include Indigenous-operated media organizations, which provide an important outlet for reporting on topics of 

significance to Native communities; coverage of Indigenous stories in legacy or mainstream news outlets, including 

the presence (or more likely. Absence) of Indigenous voices in coverage of broader issues such as politics, economics, 

climate change, crime, public health, and more; and representation of Indigenous people and communities in 

popular culture. The final session will center around the inclusion of Indigenous topics and authors in syllabi and 

class discussions for faculty seeking to decolonize and diversify new or existing courses in journalism and mass 

communication. The preconference will also be an opportunity to discuss issues such as communication 

infrastructure and data sovereignty. Each key theme will be introduced with a brief presentation, then opened to 

discussion by participants. The preconference is intended to be of interest to members of these communities in 

North America, journalists and others who write about Indigenous peoples, and all scholars interested in 

understanding the dynamics of indigenous communities, media and audiences. Coffee and light breakfast 

refreshments will be offered. Pre-registration is required. Workshop will be held at the Detroit Free Press

This panel addresses how scholars and students can co-create inclusive classroom environments. Specific discussions 

include: (1) the two-way influence of parenting and professional lives at different stages of academia; (2) the 

welcoming of diverse religious and/or spiritual experiences; and (3) other concerns that emerge from the 

intersection of family and/or religion with gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, and/or class. Panelists consider how 

students can implement their deepened understanding of inclusivity in the classroom to communicate with 

audiences more authentically in their future, desired professional fields (including, but not limited to, advertising, 

public relations, and journalism).

Antoine Haywood, Pennsylvania 

Diana Bossio, Swinburne 



This panel takes an inclusive, equitable, and international approach to exploring issues journalists increasingly face 

as they engage, for better or worse, more with news audiences. Specifically, this panel invites scholars, many with 

extensive backgrounds in newsrooms, ethnographies, and journalistic work, to discuss and present on how 

journalists are at once being asked to humanize connections with audiences while also assuming most of the risk 

that goes with such engagement. Journalists and journalistic actors find themselves increasingly harassed and 

threatened in online and social media spaces both within and outside of newsrooms, increasingly report issues of 

mental health and well-being, note a lack of preventative and palliative care from news organizations, and are more 

frequently disconnecting from or leaving all together journalistic spaces. This panel explores how journalists wrestle 

with challenges of engagement through social media, technology, and within newsrooms as well as with audiences 

and what coping mechanisms they employ that may help them to avoid (or may lead to) burnout, disconnection 

from social media, technology, newsroom work, and audiences, and ultimately an abandonment of journalism 

practice all together.

(Alphabet’s health subsidiary) 

As the number of available tenure-track positions declines in some disciplines and some colleges and universities 

delay hiring because of financial effects of the COVID pandemic, interest in alternatives to academic careers appears 

to be growing among media-focused Ph.D. students. The panel will look at how doctoral students can prepare for 

careers outside the university by talking to Ph.D. graduates who have found positions in technology fields. How did 

these scholars approach their primary immersion in research and teaching during the course of their Ph.D. studies 

with a view to staying relevant for multiple job markets? What advice do they have for Ph.D. candidates exploring 

what are sometimes referred to as “alt-academic” careers in the digital era? Digital technologies have transformed 

how society’s core communication platforms operate. Within those worlds, research depth is of immense value but 

must function and thrive within the constructs of a resource-process-outcome formula that is often shifting, 

ephemeral and collides with many of the foundational mechanics of a PhD immersion. How do we bridge those 

worlds of understanding on how research operates and is valued off-campus? What are the ingredients of being 

market-ready?

Ava Sirrah, former T-Studio creative strategist, adjunct at NYU Stern, Columbia University 

Brand Studios have become ubiquitous in news outlets across the United States. These newsrooms within 

newsrooms represent a unique collaboration between advertisers, designers and journalists dedicated to dressing 

sponsored content as news. Research about the blurry demarcation between “church and state” has focused on 

transparency and media effects, with less attention given to the journalists whose mission is to apply journalistic 

storytelling to sponsored content. This panel will be a discussion between practitioners and researchers who look at 

issues of professional identity, consumer protection and media ethics. The goal is to gain insights into the 

intersection of journalism and advertising from the standpoint of all stakeholders.

Six media educators share their decades of wisdom from working directly in the ongoing battle for diversity, equity 

and inclusion. Still teaching classes, some for more than 30 years, these Barrier Breakers have combined more than 

100 years of experience teaching journalism and communication. They are featured in an upcoming book Barrier 

Breakers: Media Educators Meeting the Diversity Challenge. While John Watson (American University) and Otis 

Sanford (University of Memphis) broke racial barriers in the newspaper newsrooms, Jason Begay, a former president 

of the Native American Journalists Association, made history in his department at the University of 

Montana. Getting their start at Wayne State University here in Detroit, Michigan, Alice Tait (Central Michigan) and 

Stan Tickton (Norfolk State) are some of the longest-serving faculty members in the nation. The five faculty share 

their stories during a panel moderated by George Daniels (Alabama). This session is sponsored by AEJMC’s Elected 

Standing Committee on Professional Freedom and Responsibility.

Teaching, Researching and Reporting on “Divisive Concepts”: Is There a Chill 

on Academic Freedoms? 


María E. Len-Ríos, Minnesota 

Panelists 


Tori Ekstrand, North Carolina at Chapel Hill 

Earnest L. Perry, Missouri 

Amber Roessner, Tennessee, Knoxville 

State legislatures across the country have introduced legislation under the auspices of “protecting student rights,” 

which are seen by many university communities as limiting freedom of speech and the freedom to discuss important 

intellectual topics. Some state legislation prohibits the use of public state funds for diversity training, bans required 

diversity training, and some states do not allow the introduction of ideas like critical race theory, implicit bias, or 

white privilege, which is deemed “divisive” and dangerous. Other legislation penalizes institutions with the threat of 

withdrawing funding. How is this affecting critical thinking and dialogue in our classrooms? How are we teaching

Four years after the revitalization of #MeToo in 2017, and as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to sweep the world, 

this panel addresses a critical research deficit in the Global South – studies about news coverage of feminist 

movements. Even before the second wave of the #MeToo movement emerged, #NiUnaMenos surfaced in Argentina, 

inspired other similar forms of resistance in Latin America. Other feminist movements also emerged in Southeast 

Asia and the Middle East. Panelists will discuss their research, which focuses on several regions and countries around 

the world, including Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Libya, Yemen, Syria, and Southeast Asia. In addition, panelists will 

discuss a variety of methodologies and conceptual frameworks that could be used to study gender, violence, and 

media coverage and content, in addition to best practices regarding news coverage of #MeToo and other feminist 

movements. After short presentations by the panelists, the roundtable will be opened up to the audience to delve 

into the subject and contribute to the discussion.

In the rock magazine scene of the ’70s and ’80s, Detroit’s CREEM Magazine carved out an important niche. Seriously 

funny, simultaneously erudite and lowbrow, CREEM helped transform rock criticism. An editorial appeared in an 

early issue in which the founders wrote: “We are a rock ’n’ roll magazine, with all that that implies. Our culture is a 

rock ’n’ roll culture. We are rock ’n’ roll people.” This panel will examine CREEM’s high-energy legacy through the 

eyes of scholars and practitioners.

The aim of this panel is to bring together graduate students and early career faculty members to provide them with 

professional skills needed for their academic career. The panel gives graduate students and early career 

professionals the opportunity to learn from the insights and experiences of senior scholars in their field of study. 

Furthermore, graduate students will meet peers and start or continue building an (international) network that will 

be valuable throughout their academic career. Topics may include how to manage your life as a graduate student, 

time management, managing your supervisors, choosing a career path (industry vs. academia), creating an online 

presence, the review process, authorship order, to name a few. The idea is to provide the graduate students and 

early career professionals with hands-on tips that they could immediately apply.

More than 50 years out from the still impactful Kerner Commission Report, and two years from the protests sparked 

by the murder of George Floyd, journalism continues to grapple with its own legacy of institutional racism. This 

involves issues related to representation, engagement and trust within communities and internal struggles within 

newsrooms. This also is increasingly involving a larger pool of newsrooms, from legacy, to Black/BIPOC, to newer 

efforts coming out of less traditional spaces, like media access centers. This panel, which will feature both scholars 

and practitioners, will dive into the multitude of issues that need to be address to deal with issues of DEI truly and 

comprehensively in journalism.

Panelist 

Chelsea Reynolds, California State-Fullerton 

Neither journalism nor academia is known for its earning potential. Despite our modest salaries, media professionals 

and JMC professors suffer high rates of burnout and struggle with a “publish or perish” mentality. In an ideal world, 

neither journalism nor scholarly research are tied to capitalist modes of production. This panel asks us to consider 

how we can divorce our intellectual labor from institutions which, by nature, exploit their workers — especially those 

of us already on the margins. We will also host a discussion with the audience to brainstorm how we can resist 

cultures of over-work on our home campuses. This panel responds to the LGBTQ Interest Group’s strategic goals for 

AY 2021-2022, which promised a critique of academic capitalism during COVID-19.

Social activism has animated the U.S. Black Church for centuries. Whether charting an ethic, critiquing the system or 

being a place to raise themselves up, the Church has been a refuge of reflection and respite. This panel will 

interrogate the role of the Black Church in the present and future conditions of social activism. Music, a pillar of the 

Church and Detroit, will animate this moving experience. Music speaks to the endless pursuit of hope, joy, and 

resistance. Contemporary music trends will be addressed by each panelist’s expertise: social justice, technological 

innovation, genre, Detroit history, and theology. We envision an experience that is less regimented than standard 

panels and will feature some back and forth among presenters arrayed in a semi-circle without a table. This panel 

makes a critical contribution to RMIG by amplifying the heart of Black religiosity: music. Both gospel artists and 

secular talent draw inspiration from biblical values. Recent 

periods of civil unrest in response to police brutality spurred songs such as “I Just Wanna Live” by Keedron Bryant, 

“Overcome 2021” by Kirk Franklin, and more. We will likely include some multimedia component for the audience 

and panelists to respond to the power of music in real time.

Filthy water in Flint got the world’s attention over the last several years. But as happens too often, reporting was 

muddled and too often simplistic about real causes and the science behind why it all happened, and why solutions 

were so challenging and slow-moving. This panel will pull in the perspectives of reporters whose boots on the ground 

were digging into what actually happened and not merely what national or international media assumed from a 

distance. This panel will be helpful for faculty teaching students to make science a sharper tool in their toolbelt as 

they take on environmental stories at the local, state or national levels.

She is the author of The South Side: A Portrait of American Segregation (St. Martin’s Press, 2016), and the author of 

The Billboard, a play about abortion (Haymarket Books, 2022). 

Ayleen Cabas-Mijares and Joy Jenkins are the 2022 recipients of the $2,500 Burd Award for Research in Urban

urban environments. 

Both awards, which honor Gene Burd, professor emeritus of Journalism at the University of Texas and a pioneer in 

urban journalism studies, are jointly sponsored by AEJMC and the Urban Communication Foundation.

The annual roundtable discussions provide an informal mechanism for educators and administrators at Historically 

Black Colleges & Universities to share ideas about ways about ways to encourage excellence among mass 

communication students, faculty, and administrators at HBCUs and to reinforce the idea that excellence in media 

education is essential to the lifeblood of a university. The focus of this year’s Roundtable will be facilities and 

equipment. What are the challenges that academic units face in providing equipment and facilities that enable 

students to develop specific professional skills that allow them to become media professionals who appreciate, 

support, and practice the principles of free expression at a high level?

What Does it Mean to Teach Journalism Online? Lessons After Two Years of Pandemic

Andrew Clark, Texas at Arlington

117 



Journalism instructors faced the challenges of moving to online course delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic at a 

time when there had been “less research on pedagogical approaches for online courses within trade or professional 

disciplines, like journalism, which required high levels of authentic or experiential learning” (Delaney & Betts, 2020) 

than there had been in other more purely academic subjects. Two years into the pandemic, this panel aims to reflect 

on lessons from this challenging period and offer tips, insights, and caveats for both new and veteran online 

instructors of journalism. The panel brings together educators from various regions of the world to discuss best 

practices in converting journalism courses from face-to-face to online, in working with various types of learners 

online, in teaching students in very large online courses, in teaching multimedia storytelling courses online, and in 

creating collaborative learning experiences in online spaces.

Past President’s Panel Session 

An Exercise in Reimagining AEJMC’s Future 

AEJMC’s current structure developed, largely piecemeal, over the past 110 years, as units formed —- 

sometimes first as interest groups and then as divisions — then grew, contracted, and changed their names 

to match shifts in media industries. Is the current organization the best one for the association? Maybe. 

This call for proposals, however, offers members a chance to imagine something different. The goal of 

inviting these proposals is to facilitate a wide-ranging discussion about the merits and shortcomings of our 

current arrangements. Hence, this is a ‘blue sky’ exercise to allow for innovation and imagination. Any actual 

structural shifts would require careful and methodical preparation and deliberation across a multi-year time 

frame and would require a vote of AEJMC’s membership. AEJMC welcomed submissions of proposals that 

would lay out a new organizational structure for the divisions, interest groups, and/or commissions that 

have programming rights at our annual conferences and are membership based. The submissions can 

propose new divisions, interest groups, or other entities, like working groups or affinity groups; propose 

elimination or combination of entities; and/or suggest any other form of reorganization. 


Tim P. Vos, Michigan State, past president, AEJMC 2021-22 

Panelists 

The 4 C’s in Shaping AEJMC for the Future 

Informed by the history of the association when it was known as just the Association for Education in Journalism, 

this model for AEJMC for the future recognizes the value in the diversity of our AEJMC divisions. It proposes evolving 

these divisions into councils with industry members or caucuses offering a home for like-minded researchers and 

emerging scholars better defines what value they offer to members. Additionally, making membership in the 

caucuses a part of the baseline regular faculty and student membership operates as an endorsement for what these 

caucuses provides. This can only help the overall association grow and evolve. The continued investment in diversity 

equity and inclusion will come through the more formal appointment of representatives to what are now three 

commissions – Commissions on the Status of Women, Commission on the Status of Minorities and recently formed 

Commission on Graduate Student Education. There are four current units that are not in the proposed new structure- 

- Community Journalism, Internships and Careers, Participatory Journalism (formally civic journalism) and Mass 

Communication and Society (our largest division). Making Mass Comm & Society an organization-wide academic 

journal recognizes its status as a flagship journal for mass communication research. But, as the association now has 

“mass communication” in its name, the work of this current division and the community journalism, internships and 

career and participatory journalism interest groups can be better executed infused across other caucuses and 

councils. 


AEJMC’s Unique Mission and Organizational Identity Among Peer Associations 

AEJMC continues to face growing competition from peer associations and professional associations. At the same 

time, university funding for conference travel and association memberships is decreasing. A renewed focus on the 

AEJMC’s unique identity — as a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts — is needed to establish its place as 

the first choice for journalism and mass communication scholars and teachers. This proposal emerged from an 

examination of the current AEJMC organizational structure, constitution/bylaws, CDIG mission statements, 2017 

strategic plan, national convention programming, and scholarly research. AEJMC has reached a growth plateau of 

Commissions, Divisions, and Interest Groups (CDIGs) that support the association community. The following proposal 

129 



reimagines the AEJMC structure in the context of a stakeholder democracy that emphasizes organizational listening 

to gain actionable insights that informs strategic organizational communication). The purpose of this proposal is to 

enhance AEJMC’s unique mission and organizational identity among peer associations. A unique brand identity is 

imperative to enhance recruitment practices that support the long-term success of AEJMC. 

Amanda Weed, Kennesaw State and Matt Haught, Memphis 

AEJMC Needs to Become More Diverse and Inclusive Internationally, and Revitalize Its Membership 

If AEJMC wishes to reclaim its relevance in the broader scholarly community, become more diverse and inclusive 

internationally, and revitalize its membership and members’ their commitment to the association, it needs a 

structure that makes sense in the 21st century — which begins by rectifying a medium-specific, siloed structure that 

is an artifact of AEJMC’s past. We illustrate this by exploring how a new umbrella Journalism Division is a natural first 

step in moving past the lost opportunities for collaboration and discovery that have occurred for years because of 

unnecessary silos. The association also needs, we argue, a set of new practices such as shifts in division leadership 

dynamics, membership requirements, and community-building initiatives — that have been proven successful in 

other associations and which could be adapted to suit AEJMC’s circumstances. These changes would focus on 

engaging senior-scholar leadership to provide greater “quality control” and supervision over divisions; they would 

also stimulate greater involvement, mentorship, and a sense of community among members at all levels. In addition 

to retooling divisions and their operations, AEJMC should take a more active role in overseeing what have long been 

division-specific journals (e.g., Newspaper Research Journal) to help them improve their reach and impact, and 

eventually become more meaningful contributors to the global intellectual community. Finally, we propose moving 

the annual conference from early August to early October — a practical change that we believe would make a 

meaningful difference in attracting a larger, more international set of attendees. 

Matt Carlson, Minnesota and Seth Lewis, Oregon 

AEJMC Needs a Durable Structure that is Responsive to Change Yet Withstands Passing Fads 

What makes AEJMC distinct from other associations in the communication and media fields is its relationship with – 

and obligations to – three related areas: the academy, the classroom, and the practice. No other association, to our 

minds, possesses the same or even similar dynamic. AEJMC recognizes these relationships and meets these 

obligations through the categories of research, teaching, and professional freedom and responsibility. Our proposal 

is designed to amplify this tripartite dynamic without watering down any category. We envision AEJMC as a home 

for scholars, teachers, and practitioners, each learning from the other. To achieve this, AEJMC needs a durable 

structure that is responsive to change yet withstands passing fads. 

Nicole Kraft, Ohio State 

How Might AEJMC Transform Itself from a Committee-driven, Top-down Structure to More Open-source, 

Member-driven Governance for Both the Organization and the Conference? 

This proposal is rooted in two years of dialogue, based on the tenets of change management. This is its 

main advantage, to build awareness, desire, and knowledge through dialogue (and then to work on 

ability and reinforcement later). A second advantage is that it is experiential. It allows AEJMC members 

to see and discuss possible changes through the conference experience of using “tracks” for 

programming. The engine of this dialogue about change would be topic tracks that members, divisions, 

interest groups, and commissions may first decide upon and then join for programming and discussion 

during the next two AEJMC conferences in 2023 and 2024. Programming tracks are used successfully by 

SXSW and other conferences, so that participants can find a variety of scholars and programming within 

their broader interests. After these encounters “along the tracks” in 2023 and 2024, AEJMC members 

could be part of deciding whether a track structure might serve as a better and looser organizing 

principle for their affinity groups and conference programming, compared with current organizational 

and conference-planning structures. The key question guiding this proposal is: How might AEJMC transform itself 

from a committee-driven, top-down structure to more open-source, member-driven governance for both the 

organization and the conference? The purpose would be to discover ways to make organizational groups and topics 

relevant, fluid, and accessible for interdisciplinary problem-solving in the communication and journalism fields we 

serve through members’ teaching, research, and service.

Decolonizing theories are largely absent from mass communication research. Yet, they are used widely in different 

disciplines around the world to replace Eurocentric models, many of which have had detrimental effects on 

Indigenous communities. This colloquium examines current communication research that relies on Indigenous 

Standpoint Theory. Employing IST and other decolonizing theories, and the methods that support them, provide a 

foundation to actively resist current mass communication theories that are rooted in the paradigm of dead white 

men. The goal of the Indigenous Standpoint Theory Colloquium is to move the field toward Indigenous views of 

mass communication research that prioritizes the needs of communities over that of individuals.

Journalism scholars are building an incredibly rich knowledge base about journalism practices, content, audiences, 

and effects. But are news organizations listening? On the flip side, newsrooms are dealing with ever-intensifying 

challenges. But are researchers studying what matters to journalists? This panel will ask how we can begin to address 

the practitioner-researcher gap in journalism. Inspired by the recent publication of Valérie Bélair-Gagnon and Nikki 

Usher’s Journalism Research that Matters, panelists will address the crucial question: How can research be used to 

improve journalism? More specifically, we will ask: How can we do, communicate, and leverage our research in a 

way that newsrooms can use to effect change? Anticipated outcomes of this panel include idea generation about 

how researchers and journalists can better work together towards shared aims; and the formation of a loose 

community of practice, which will work to develop and enact those ideas.

Yellow Peril, Perpetual Foreigner, or Model Minority?: How Historic Media Narratives 

Reverberated in 2020-21’s Epidemic of Anti-Asian American Violence 



Panelists 


Tracy Jan, staff writer, The Washington Post 

Kathleen McElroy, Texas at Austin 

Wendy Melillo, American 

The Perpetual Foreigner/Yellow Peril and Model Minority narratives have deep roots in Asian American history, 

starting with the Chinese laborers who comprised the first significant wave of Asian immigration in the mid-1800s. 

The notion that Asian Americans could be hardworking and submissive – yet also dangerous and alien – can be traced 

from the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 through the imprisonment of Japanese Americans in World War II, whereas 

the Model Minority Myth has been leveraged by the dominant culture, often as a cudgel against Black Americans, 

since the mid-20th century. This panel will explore how these stereotypes persisted in the media coverage of the 

2020-21 incidents of violence in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, not only dehumanizing Asian Americans, but 

also distorting the prevalence of Black perpetrators in hate incidents.

Andrew Lapin, Editor and Reporter, Jewish Telegraphic Agency; 

former editor-in-chief, The Detroit Jewish News 

Michael Stechschulte, Editor-in-Chief, Detroit Catholic 

Representative TBA, The Muslim Observer 

Detroit is home to a great variety of religious communities and a vibrant publishing scene serving those communities. 

This panel will feature representatives from several of these publishers to discuss the importance of journalism in 

supporting these communities, as well as the challenges of publishing in the contemporary era. In 1999, The Muslim 

Observer became the first Muslim newspaper in the U.S., first focused on southeast Michigan. Its coverage has 

expanded its roster of reporters to include other regions. After nearly 150 years, in 2018, The Michigan Catholic 

ceased publication, ending its run as one of the oldest publications in the state. It continues online as the Detroit 

Catholic. Since 1942, The Detroit Jewish News has served its community by providing news and opinion, acting as an 

advocate for those in Michigan as well as the State of Israel.
