DOCUMENTARY SCREENING AND PANEL 

Tuesday, August 8, 2023 • 4:30–6 p.m. 

Liberty Ballroom Salon M, Meeting Level 4 (M4) 

Trustworthy is a documentary that chronicles a 5,300-mile journey across 

America to explore the growing crisis of trust in media that threatens 

our democracy, and whether we can find common ground. From small 

towns and urban enclaves, the Trustworthy team spoke with journalists, 

experts and everyday Americans across the political spectrum about 

how we got to this critical moment, how we can become better news and 

information consumers, and how we can come together to rise above 

the misinformation and discourse aimed at dividing our communities. 

This documentary is a must-see for everyone who seeks to better 

understand our media and help bridge the political divide.

Welcome to Washington, D.C.! 

We are honored to have you join us! Welcome to the 106 th annual conference of 

AEJMC in Washington, D. C. Our conference venue, Marriott Marquis Washington, D.C., 

is walking distance to media institutions, museums, and monuments. 

After three years of pandemic disruptions, AEJMC 2023 is all set to be among the 

most valuable platforms to connect with colleagues. We have cherished the 

camaraderie and collective wisdom of AEJMC members like you. 

AEJMC was founded Nov. 30, 1912, in Chicago, Ill., as the American Association of 

Teachers of Journalism. For more than 110 years, AEJMC has thrived as a premier 

scholarly organization in our field. 

We have collectively contributed to AEJMC’s rise as a collegial, resolutely nonpartisan, 

interdisciplinary organization fostering excellence in research, teaching, and 

professional freedom, the three pillars of AEJMC. 

We, as educators, nurture academic freedom and cherish its impact in our 

democracy. Recent social and political developments have imparted greater significance 

to our AEJMC 2023 conference theme: Fostering Freedom & Defending Democracy: 

AEJMC’s Impact Over 110 Years and Beyond. 

Our 2023 AEJMC conference features exciting sessions, informative workshops, 

engaging activities, and spirited socials. We have meticulously planned opportunities to 

learn from colleagues about our evolving media ecosystem and the echo chamber. 

We commend the AEJMC Central Office, our donors, event sponsors, AEJMC’s 

Standing Committees, AEJMC leaders in 19 Divisions, eight Interest Groups, and three 

Commissions to thoughtfully plan a successful 2023 AEJMC conference. Your creativity 

and commitment have helped us thrive. 

It is my great honor to serve as your 2022-23 President of AEJMC. Like you, I cherish 

the AEJMC summer conference as a convivial congregation with collegial exchange of 

ideas and insights for engaged scholarship. 

I hope all of us rest, relax, rejoice, and rejuvenate this summer, as we all should. 

Cordially,

Beyond 

Objectivity 

Producing 

trustworthy 

news in today’s 

newsrooms 

What does it mean 

for journalism to be objective? 

In a new report, former Washington Post Executive Editor Leonard Downie Jr. 

and former CBS News President Andrew Heyward argue that the traditional 

defi nition of journalistic “objectivity” is too misunderstood and that it’s time for 

a new set of standards to produce fair, accurate, non-biased news for today’s 

diverse communities.

2023 AEJMC panel session 

“Beyond Objectivity—A New Playbook 

for Strengthening and Transforming 

Journalism” 

Join us as two veteran journalists lead 

the conversation about moving “beyond 

objectivity” to create new guidelines for 

fair, accurate, trustworthy journalism in 

today’s increasingly diverse newsrooms 

and communities. 

Wednesday, August 9 

Noon-1:30 p.m. 

Mint conference room 

Meeting level 4 

The journalist’s job is truth, not 

objectivity. It is getting close to the reality, 

notwithstanding that we all have biases 

and passions.” 

— Neil Barsky 

Founder, The Marshall Project 

Leonard Downie, Jr., the Weil Family 

Professor of Journalism at the Walter 

Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass 

Communication, started at The Washington 

Post in 1964 as an intern and rose through 

the ranks. He held the role of executive 

editor from 1991 through 2008. During his 

tenure at the Post, he investigated and led 

coverage of some of the most signifi cant 

events of the 20th century. 

The “Beyond Objectivity” report is funded by a grant 

from the Stanton Foundation. 

Cronkite doctoral students Rian Bosse, Stephen Kilar and Kristina Vera-Phillips 

and undergraduate student Autriya Maneshni also contributed to the report. 

Andrew Heyward, a Research Professor 

at the Walter Cronkite School of 


and senior advisor to the new Center for 

Constructive Communication at MIT, 

is an award-winning broadcast news 

producer and expert on the changing media 

landscape. Among many newsroom roles, 

he served as President of CBS News from 

January 1996 until November 2005.

We want to congratulate 


Christopher Terry on his 

recent promotion. Terry’s 

research focuses on the 

effect of regulatory policy 

on public communication 

in a democratic society, 

a development of his 

longstanding interest 

in the history of FCC 

regulation and his core 

belief that expanding 

the access to viewpoint 

diversity, especially 

from traditionally 

underrepresented groups, 

generates important 

societal benefits. He has 

done extensive research 

on media ownership and 

is one of the leading 

national experts on 

that subject. Much of 

that work focuses on 

policies relating to 

minority ownership, and 

to the impact of FCC 

policies on marginalized 

communities. 

The Hubbard School is pleased 

to announce it has recently 

welcomed four new members 

to the team.

Much of the conversation around the future of the news 

media begins with the reporting and analysis of journalists 

who cover or produce commentary on the media 

beat. However, the process of reporting on news companies, 

press/politics relations, questions of diversity and 

inclusion in journalism, and platform companies has 

received less discussion among scholars and journalists 

alike. We discuss concerns that top-flight media reporters 

and columnists have for the future of the news media, 

their approach to covering democratic backsliding and 

rising authoritarianism, and the difficulties and challenges 

that come from reporting and commenting about 

the industry/companies these journalists work for and in.

gender identity and sexual orientation. This panel will 

examine the chilling effect the proposed and enacted legislation

Beyond Thoughts and Prayers: Covering Mass 

Shootings and Vicarious Trauma 



Panelists 

Eraldo “Dino” Chiecchi, Texas State 

Kimberly Voss, Central Florida 

Michael McCluskey, Tennessee-Chattanooga 

Katherine Jacobsen, Committee to Protect Journalists 

By mid-June of this year, the Gun Violence Archive had 

recorded 272 mass shootings in which four or more 

people were shot or killed. It is the professional responsibility 

of journalism and mass communication educators 

to prepare students for vicarious trauma – a real thing 

among journalists and others who deal with tragedy. This 

panel memorializes Dylan Lyons, a 2019 graduate of 

the University of Central Florida’s Nicholson School of 

Communication and Media, who was killed in February 

while reporting in the Orlando television market. It also 

offers strategies for how to position our students for the 

reality of covering tragedy and trauma. Learn about the 

Uvalde Reporting Project, which involved a multimedia 

reporting team from Texas State University. Their work 

was published in a May series in the Austin American- 

Statesman. Prepare to also become acquainted with 

resources from the Committee to Project Journalists, 

which is an independent nonprofit organization promoting 

press freedom and defending the right of journalists to 

report news safely and without fear of reprisal.

the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press for a 

casual meet-and-greet social. 

4 p.m. to 7 p.m. / M061 Metropolitan African 

Methodist Episcopal Church 


Offsite Tour 

Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church 

The Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church 

is also known as “The National Cathedral of African 

Methodism.” Attendees will be given a personal tour of 

the Church from Pastor. William H. Lamar who not only 

engages his congregation through physical space of the 

Church but also through social media platforms such as 

Facebook and YouTube. The tour is free, but registration 

is required at https://aejmc2.wufoo.com/forms/2023- 

rmig-washington-dc-tours 

Oftentimes, questions of ethics are raised only after the 

fact or after a crisis has emerged. Discussing hypothetical 

scenarios of news breaking, and participation in the 

news gathering in these new media environments will 

help more than hurt. Especially to avoid the perils of journalism’s 

encounters with social media that led to many 

after-the-fact ethics advisories to be issued. This panel 

will outline a few questions and scenarios to discuss.

accomplishments made him the first subject of this area, 

even before it was studied. Students in 2022-2023 and 

beyond need heroes more than ever. This is especially 

true for Blacks and minorities who may have more difficult 

family backgrounds. Owens, a Black student at (in 

this time, very biased) Ohio State when he competed at 

the Olympics, is a perfect example of this. This panel 

explores how every college/university program, small or 

large, can be involved in telling his story.

Sherri Williams, American 

Angie Chuang, Colorado-Boulder 

Oscar Guerra, Connecticut

Many journalism & communications students do not see 

their stories in mainstream media, and if they do, the stories 

often don’t represent their authentic experience. This 

panel would explore how to teach journalism students to 

push back on mainstream narratives and discover how to 

tell their own stories from perspectives not always represented 

in mainstream media.

Online Media and Global Communication: 

Bridging Scholarship Between 

the Global North and the Global South 


Louisa Ha, Bowling Green State 

Writing for academic journals is highly competitive. Even 

if you overcome the first hurdle and generate a valuable 

idea or piece of research - how do you then sum it up in 

a way that will capture the interest of reviewers? There’s 

no simple formula for getting published - editors’ expectations 

can vary both between and within subject areas. 

But there are some challenges that will confront all academic 

writers regardless of their discipline. How should 

you respond to reviewer feedback? Is there a correct 

way to structure a paper? And should you always bother 

revising and resubmitting? We asked our AEJMC journal 

editors for their tips on getting published.

Altoona 

Yvonne Latty is Professor of Practice at Temple University’s 

Klein College of Media and Communication. She had 

served as a long-time investigative journalist for the 

Philadelphia Daily News, with reporting that has been 

recognized with numerous awards including Clarion, 

Gracie, and Philly Awards as well as recognition for best 

short documentary at the Phoenix Film Festival. As director 

of the Logan Center for Urban Investigative Reporting, 

Latty coordinates, assists, and provides expertise to the 

reporting efforts of Temple University students and faculty 

as they cover a myriad of urban issues. Latty previously 

served as a journalism professor at New York University’s 

Arthur Carter Journalism Institute. 

Kelsey Whipple is Assistant Professor of Journalism at the 

University of Massachusetts, Amherst. In her research 

Whipple examines how journalists covering urban communities 

within the United States perceive the impact 

of “parachute journalism” created by journalists from 

national outlets on their work, their news organizations, 

their audiences, and their communities. She has conducted 

a textual analysis of national coverage of three recent 

events in Florida (the Stoneman Douglas High School 

shooting, the Pulse night club shooting, and the Surfside 

condo collapse), and conducted in-depth interviews with 

journalists working in those Florida cities. The judges 

felt the Whipple research described an often overlooked 

-- and timely -- journalistic phenomenon, parachute journalism. 

Her research has been published in numerous 

academic journals and included in industry sites such as 

the Nieman Journalism Lab. Whipple has received Top 

Faculty Paper Awards from AEJMC and ICA. 

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.

ASSOCIATION FOR EDUCATION IN JOURNALISM AND MASS COMMUNICATION 

50 th Anniversary Celebration 

Congratulations to the Law & Policy Division for 50 years of scholarship, 

free-expression advocacy, and leadership. 

The Law & Policy Division was created in 1973, amidst a string of legal challenges and First Amendment 

questions that were shaping free expression. So much and so little have changed in the 50 years that 

have passed. The division continues to explore and advocate for free expression. 

Dwight Teeter, University of Kentucky, presided over the division’s first business meeting at the 1974 

conference. By then the new division had 100 members. He wrote, “Witness the decisions of the 

Supreme Court in the past few weeks in cases affecting access to media, obscenity, reporter access to 

prisons, libel, and freedom to dissent in the military service.” 

Teeter credited Don Gillmor, University of Minnesota, “as the prime architect” of the division’s first 

conference programming. This year, we begin a yearlong celebration of the Law & Policy Division’s 

legacy as we also keep an eye on the future. 

Help us get our yearlong celebration started by joining us for our joint social with the Media 

Management and Economics and Communicating Science, Health, Environment, and Risk divisions. 

The social will be held during AEJMC’s annual conference at the Marriott Marquis Washington, D.C., at 

8:15 p.m. on Wednesday, August 9, in the Marquis Ballroom Salons 810 Foyer on Meeting Level 2.

Panelists 

Michael Fuhlhage, Wayne State 

Lee Wilkins, Missouri 


Meredith D. Clark, Northeastern 

Keith Woods, National Public Radio 

This panel will explore truth and reconciliation efforts by 

American news organizations in the last few years, the 

philosophical and theological underpinnings for such 

efforts, efforts that these news organizations have made 

to assess racist coverage patterns and practices going 

back to the nineteenth century, the difference between 

lip service and meaningful apology and action to mend 

rifts between news organizations and their communities, 

attempts to diversify the newsroom and the obstacles 

that have impeded them, and the need for reparations in 

American news media.

research in society, academia, and policymaking. In 

connection with the 10th anniversary of the Harry W.

scholarship, this panel focuses on the state of media 

law research and its developing contribution not only to 

academic discourse but to policy and lawmaking around 

the globe.

CSW Celebrates 50th Anniversary 

in Washington, D.C., at the AEJMC Conference 

Women have always been an integral part of AEJMC, even if they were not always visible. In 2023 we 

are proud to be celebrating 50 years of the AEJMC Commission on the Status of Women. What started 

with a small group of women in 1973 has grown to more than 175 active members. 

The AEJMC Commission on the Status of Women focuses on issues that require attention equity and 

inclusion, equal pay, parental leave, access to reproductive care, and legislation concerning women’s 

roles in media and communication scholarship, service and teaching. 

CSW welcomes new members who can contribute to our cause: 

women, men and nonbinary scholars, practitioners, faculty, staff and students.

Rick Stevens, Colorado at Boulder 

Nabil Echchabi, Colorado at Boulder 


Adina Schneeweis, Oakland 

Critical and cultural studies is a meta, interdisciplinary 

approach to engaging with and examining culture, and in 

this case media and communication. At the center of this 

intersectional approach is a comprehensive examination 

of ideologies of power, hierarchies of oppression, and 

the manifestations of the cultural structures that keep the 

power in place. This panel explores and uncovers intersections 

in social and cultural research as well as critical 

and cultural methodologies. 



and Law and Policy Divisions 

Panelists 



Mohammed Yousef, New Mexico 


Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI), 

along with MLops, are now deployed in most media and 

entertainment firms. However, the vast majority of academics 

in media and entertainment studies do not use 

these tools. It is imperative for us to close this gap. This 

session will provide an overview regarding what these 

areas of research may offer prospective researchers, as 

well as recent work in these areas.

Panelists

Chalise Macklin, Memphis 

Kim Marks Malone, Memphis 

Joel Nichols, Memphis 


This session celebrates the works of the Department 

of Journalism and Strategic Media at the University of 

Memphis to enhance the diversity and equity in its programs. 

Faculty will discuss successes and challenges in 

our service to our city. 

PF&R’s EDA Selection Committee noted that Memphis’ 

Department of Journalism and Strategic Media had 

submitted an “excellent, well-written narrative that told 

a compelling story of the unit’s intentionality and commitment 

to equity and diversity.” It also noted that the 

unit had “rich student diversity, including 46% students 

identifying as African American,” as well as “a significant 

increase to faculty diversity in recent years, with 39% 

faculty of color in 2022-23 and at least 50% women.” 

Selected by AEJMC’s Standing Committee on Professional 

Freedom & Responsibility, the award recognizes journalism 

and mass communication academic units that are 

working toward, and have attained measurable success, 

in increasing equity and diversity among their faculty. 

When applying for the award, the unit must document 

its progress and innovation in racial, gender, and ethnic 

equality and diversity during the previous three years.

Teaching Journalism Students to Tell Stories 

From Their Own Communities 


Sonja Williams, Howard 

Panelists 

Sherri Williams, American 

Angie Chuang, Colorado-Boulder 

Oscar Guerra, Connecticut 


Many journalism & communications students do not see 

their stories in mainstream media, and if they do, the stories 

often don’t represent their authentic experience. This 

panel would explore how to teach journalism students to 

push back on mainstream narratives and discover how to 

tell their own stories from perspectives not always represented 

in mainstream media.

Online Media and Global Communication: 

Bridging Scholarship Between 

the Global North and the Global South 



Writing for academic journals is highly competitive. Even 

if you overcome the first hurdle and generate a valuable 

idea or piece of research - how do you then sum it up in 

a way that will capture the interest of reviewers? There’s 

no simple formula for getting published - editors’ expectations 

can vary both between and within subject areas. 

But there are some challenges that will confront all academic 

writers regardless of their discipline. How should 

you respond to reviewer feedback? Is there a correct 

way to structure a paper? And should you always bother 

revising and resubmitting? We asked our AEJMC journal 

editors for their tips on getting published.

Altoona 

Yvonne Latty is Professor of Practice at Temple University’s 

Klein College of Media and Communication. She had 

served as a long-time investigative journalist for the 

Philadelphia Daily News, with reporting that has been 

recognized with numerous awards including Clarion, 

Gracie, and Philly Awards as well as recognition for best 

short documentary at the Phoenix Film Festival. As director 

of the Logan Center for Urban Investigative Reporting, 

Latty coordinates, assists, and provides expertise to the 

reporting efforts of Temple University students and faculty 

as they cover a myriad of urban issues. Latty previously 

served as a journalism professor at New York University’s 

Arthur Carter Journalism Institute. 

Kelsey Whipple is Assistant Professor of Journalism at the 

University of Massachusetts, Amherst. In her research 

Whipple examines how journalists covering urban communities 

within the United States perceive the impact 

of “parachute journalism” created by journalists from 

national outlets on their work, their news organizations, 

their audiences, and their communities. She has conducted 

a textual analysis of national coverage of three recent 

events in Florida (the Stoneman Douglas High School 

shooting, the Pulse night club shooting, and the Surfside 

condo collapse), and conducted in-depth interviews with 

journalists working in those Florida cities. The judges 

felt the Whipple research described an often overlooked 

-- and timely -- journalistic phenomenon, parachute journalism. 

Her research has been published in numerous 

academic journals and included in industry sites such as 

the Nieman Journalism Lab. Whipple has received Top 

Faculty Paper Awards from AEJMC and ICA. 

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.

Law & Policy Division 


50 th Anniversary Celebration 

Congratulations to the Law & Policy Division for 50 years of scholarship, 

free-expression advocacy, and leadership. 

The Law & Policy Division was created in 1973, amidst a string of legal challenges and First Amendment 

questions that were shaping free expression. So much and so little have changed in the 50 years that 

have passed. The division continues to explore and advocate for free expression. 

Dwight Teeter, University of Kentucky, presided over the division’s first business meeting at the 1974 

conference. By then the new division had 100 members. He wrote, “Witness the decisions of the 

Supreme Court in the past few weeks in cases affecting access to media, obscenity, reporter access to 

prisons, libel, and freedom to dissent in the military service.” 

Teeter credited Don Gillmor, University of Minnesota, “as the prime architect” of the division’s first 

conference programming. This year, we begin a yearlong celebration of the Law & Policy Division’s 

legacy as we also keep an eye on the future. 

Help us get our yearlong celebration started by joining us for our joint social with the Media 

Management and Economics and Communicating Science, Health, Environment, and Risk divisions. 

The social will be held during AEJMC’s annual conference at the Marriott Marquis Washington, D.C., at 

8:15 p.m. on Wednesday, August 9, in the Marquis Ballroom Salons 810 Foyer on Meeting Level 2.

Meredith D. Clark, Northeastern 

Keith Woods, National Public Radio 

This panel will explore truth and reconciliation efforts by 

American news organizations in the last few years, the 

philosophical and theological underpinnings for such 

efforts, efforts that these news organizations have made 

to assess racist coverage patterns and practices going 

back to the nineteenth century, the difference between 

lip service and meaningful apology and action to mend 

rifts between news organizations and their communities, 

attempts to diversify the newsroom and the obstacles 

that have impeded them, and the need for reparations in 

American news media.

typologies of analysis as well as the place of media law 

research in society, academia, and policymaking. In 

connection with the 10th anniversary of the Harry W. 

Stonecipher, which annually recognizes top media law 

scholarship, this panel focuses on the state of media 

law research and its developing contribution not only to 

academic discourse but to policy and lawmaking around 

the globe.

CSW Celebrates 50th Anniversary 

in Washington, D.C., at the AEJMC Conference 

Women have always been an integral part of AEJMC, even if they were not always visible. In 2023 we 

are proud to be celebrating 50 years of the AEJMC Commission on the Status of Women. What started 

with a small group of women in 1973 has grown to more than 175 active members. 

The AEJMC Commission on the Status of Women focuses on issues that require attention equity and 

inclusion, equal pay, parental leave, access to reproductive care, and legislation concerning women’s 

roles in media and communication scholarship, service and teaching. 

CSW welcomes new members who can contribute to our cause: 

women, men and nonbinary scholars, practitioners, faculty, staff and students.

Adina Schneeweis, Oakland 

Critical and cultural studies is a meta, interdisciplinary 

approach to engaging with and examining culture, and in 

this case media and communication. At the center of this 

intersectional approach is a comprehensive examination 

of ideologies of power, hierarchies of oppression, and 

the manifestations of the cultural structures that keep the 

power in place. This panel explores and uncovers intersections 

in social and cultural research as well as critical 

and cultural methodologies. 




Panelists 



Mohammed Yousef, New Mexico 


Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI), 

along with MLops, are now deployed in most media and 

entertainment firms. However, the vast majority of academics 

in media and entertainment studies do not use 

these tools. It is imperative for us to close this gap. This 

session will provide an overview regarding what these 

areas of research may offer prospective researchers, as 

well as recent work in these areas.

Faculty will discuss successes and challenges in

PF&R’s EDA Selection Committee noted that Memphis’ 

Department of Journalism and Strategic Media had 

submitted an “excellent, well-written narrative that told 

a compelling story of the unit’s intentionality and commitment 

to equity and diversity.” It also noted that the 

unit had “rich student diversity, including 46% students 

identifying as African American,” as well as “a significant 

increase to faculty diversity in recent years, with 39% 

faculty of color in 2022-23 and at least 50% women.” 

Selected by AEJMC’s Standing Committee on Professional 

Freedom & Responsibility, the award recognizes journalism 

and mass communication academic units that are 

working toward, and have attained measurable success, 

in increasing equity and diversity among their faculty. 

When applying for the award, the unit must document 

its progress and innovation in racial, gender, and ethnic 

equality and diversity during the previous three years.

The school’s faculty, staff and administration 

have worked deliberatively and collaboratively 

to develop and implement a DEI Plan of 

Action that helps fulfill our commitmento an 

exemplary school culture that is welcoming

The plan’s goals and strategies are rooted 

in our mission to train the next generation 

of media professionals to ignite public 

conversation and to provide an environment 

for teaching, learning and research that 

includes individuals from diverse 

backgrounds with differing interests, lived

enabling informed and respectful debate 

that prepares students to thrive in careers 

at the center of the public square where our 

graduates will work with, report on, interact 

with and serve people from a wide array of 

backgrounds, experiences and perspectives.

For the 18th year, the AEJMC Standing Committee on 

Teaching honors innovative teaching ideas from our colleagues. 

Each year, the committee selects winners in a 

themed competition highlighting different areas across 

the journalism and mass communication curriculum. 

This year’s competition focuses on creative teaching 

ideas/methods for fostering Freedom of Innovation in the 

JMC classroom. We will celebrate four JMC faculty members 

who demonstrated innovative methods to inspire 

and engage students to become active contributors & 

collaborators in shaping their classroom experiences; 

allowing our JMC programs to evolve to meet the diverse 

experiences and aspirations of modern students amidst 

pressing social, economic and global issues. Their 

award-winning work will also be featured in the 2023 

Best Practices in Teaching booklet.

The Sass award recognizes outstanding service to journalism. 

Landsberry-Baker is an enrolled citizen of the 

Muscogee (Creek) Nation and the executive director of 

the Native American Journalists Association. She is a 

recipient of the 2018 National Center for American Indian 

Enterprise Development “Native American 40 Under 40” 

Award and was selected to the Harvard Shorenstein News 

Leaders Fall 2022 cohort. Landsberry-Baker made her 

directorial debut with the documentary feature film BAD 

PRESS, which was supported by the Sundance Institute, 

Ford Foundation JustFilms, NBC, and the Gotham. BAD 

PRESS premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival and 

received the U.S. Documentary Special Jury Award for 

Freedom of Expression. The film was also recognized 

with the One in a Million Award from the 2023 Sun 

Valley Film Festival. The Sass award was established 

in 1946 by the American Society of Journalism School 

Administrators (ASJSA) as the Citation of Merit Award to 

recognize outstanding service. The award was originally 

presented to media organizations but was changed in 

1978 to honor individuals.

Research Workshop 


Rick Weiss, SciLine 

Almost any news story--not just stories about science per 

se--can be made better by including relevant research 

finding and one or more scientist-sources with expertise 

on the topic at hand. Social and behavioral scientists, 

for example, often can bring data and research-backed 

insights to stories about local policy issues ranging from 

homelessness to downtown development to transportation 

to criminal justice. But finding, vetting, and interviewing 

scientist sources require skills often overlooked 

in journalism curricula--reserved, if taught at all, for 

students who want to do “science reporting.” We’ll demonstrate 

what we cover and how we teach this module, 

which we offer at no cost to fit into your teaching schedule. 

We’ll also engage in some informal discussion with

160 



August 7-10, 2023 — #aejmc2023 

attendees about the ways in which research-backed findings 

can enhance local and general assignment reporting, 

and why including this focus in your curriculum is so 

important in this era of rampant mis- and disinformation 

and public distrust of the news. 





Not VR Too! Avoiding Stereotypes in Multimedia

Panelists 

Brendan Beal, Montevallo 

Jennifer Woodard, Middle Tennessee State 


Ali Forbes, Texas State 

This panel will explore how VR has been, and is currently, 

reinforcing stereotypes and “othering” minority 

avatars in interactive journalism. We will further discuss 

the affordances of interactive journalism as performed in 

VR in order to determine if and how prosocial attitudes 

may lead to longer term, or “sticky” social change.

First Amendment Award Presentation and Q&A 


Jason M. Shepard, California State, Fullerton 


Margaret Sullivan, Journalist 

Sullivan is one of the most important voices in journalism, 

especially local, news today. Through her 

incredibly distinguished and path-breaking career as 

editor-in-chief of the Buffalo News, public editor for 

the New York Times, media columnist for the Washington 

Post, and now, columnist for The Guardian and Egan 

Visiting Professor of Journalism & Public Policy at Duke 

University, Sullivan has made truly massive contributions 

to freedom of the press and courageous journalism. In 

particular, six years of her work as media columnist at 

the Washington Post led the way in thinking about how 

journalists should cover threats to democracy. One of 

her pieces on this topic led to the creation of Democracy 

Day, a collaboration of nearly 400 newsrooms across 

the U.S., in which these newsrooms published dozens 

of stories, editorials and posts about the challenges, 

threats and opportunities facing American democracy 

on September 15, 2022. The AEJMC First Amendment 

Award recognizes individuals or organizations who demonstrate 

a strong commitment to freedom of the press and 

who practice or support courageous journalism. Created 

in 2006, the award is presented by AEJMC’s Standing 

Committee on Professional Freedom & Responsibility.

How Journalism Support Organizations Are Using 

Data and Research to Connect with Communities 

of Color 



Panelists 

Letrell Crittenden, Director of Inclusion and 

Audience Growth, American Press Institute 

Kate Kutsko, Education and Strategy Manager, News 

Products, American Press Institute 

Lynn Walsh, Assistant Director, Trusting News 

In this session, scholars, practitioners and instructors will 

learn about several efforts designed to assess how well 

journalists engage with communities of color. Specific 

tools include American Press Institute’s new Inclusion 

Index program, source auditing tools, and community 

listening tools deployed by Trusting News. We’ll explore 

research-based systems of accountability to help newsrooms 

make meaningful progress on diversity, equity, 

inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) and community engagement 

goals. We’ll share lessons learned from working with 

a range of newsrooms and offer strategies for journalists, 

researchers, and educators.

Offsite Tour 

Institute for Social Policy and Understanding 

(Muslim American Research Center) 

The Institute for Social Policy and Understanding provides 

objective research and education about American Muslims 

to support well-informed dialogue and decision-making. 

As a national nonprofit research institute that conducts 

rigorous research about American Muslims and their challenges, 

a core component of our work is equipping groups 

of changemakers (journalists, teachers, interfaith leaders, 

policymakers, and more) with that new data. The ISPU 

aim to support the media in their critical role by providing 

relevant, helpful research and strategies. This seminar provides 

a broader understanding of who American Muslims 

are, their challenges, and their lived experiences, as well 

as a critical analysis of journalism related to stereotyping 

and tropes. Journalists walk away with tips and examples 

for creatively and confidently covering American Muslims. 

This a free tour, but registration is required and limited 

to 30 people. Register at: https://aejmc2.wufoo.com/
