My teaching philosophy, in a few sentences:
- Students learn journalism by doing journalism;
- My classroom is a newsroom, meaning my students are expected to show up for "work";
- Journalists need to impress upon their audiences the context of every story;
- The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution -- especially relating to Freedom of the Press -- is something not to be taken for granted.
One of the best things about being in higher education is the ability to teach and research. My research interests include:
I also am a member of leading academic organizations. Among them are:
*Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication
*Broadcast Education Association
