Journalism Education, Training and Employment
À propos de cet e-book
- How the assumptions embedded in journalism education are being examined and revised in the light of transformative changes in communication;
- How the definitions of journalism and journalists are broadening in scope and what this means for educators;
- How newsrooms and training programs around the world are being re-examined and made more effective.
An introductory essay and section summaries provide context for the thirteen chapters that constitute the collection. The section on journalism education explores fundamental ways educators are seeking to make their institutions and practices stronger and more responsive. The section on training includes case studies of journalism training programs in sub-Saharan Africa, Turkey, Sweden and the U.S. The final section examines the job prospects and employment market for journalism students with data from the U.S., U.K, Australia, and Sweden.
The scope of issues considered in the book makes it a valuable resource for journalism scholars from around the world, as well as doctoral students, journalism and communication administrators in universities, organizations that fund journalism training programs, and practitioners interested in understanding employment and education trends.
