Student evaluations of teaching (SETs) are utilized by universities as one component in assessing course effectiveness, despite evidence in the research regarding their validity. With the global COVID-19 pandemic, many universities rapidly transitioned teaching modalities from face-to-face to online learning, regardless of the faculty experience. This study investigates the effects on SETs of the rapid transition in teaching modalities for all sections of courses occurring during COVID-19 compared with all sections of courses taught within a Communication department at a large public research university over the past 8 years. The results indicate moderate effects from the rapid transition to online learning.

Our in-depth qualitative interviews with journalism graduate students and professors, from Kashmir, India, show that unlike the rest of India, the region experienced extremely low internet connectivity, and this combined with a lack of access to technology nearly brought classes to a standstill. But students and teachers, used to social disruptions, used the COVID-19 pandemic to learn and practice journalism that was deeply bound to the community and they created “circles of trust” that helped them overcome internet and other technical issues. Ramifications for journalism education in situations of low connectivity and poor technology resources are discussed.

Qualitative interviews with postgraduate journalism students at a South African residential university inform this exploratory study on emergency remote teaching (ERT) during the Covid-19 national lockdown. The aim of the study was to interrogate and describe the students’ personal experiences related to ERT and the way their initial expectations for the academic year were disrupted. The findings indicate that students struggled to adapt to ERT due, in part, to unequal access to infrastructure and an inability to regulate their home environment. A key finding of the study is that students relied heavily on peer support to encourage and motivate them during this period of disruption.

This case study documents a large, 4-year university magazine’s transition to virtual instruction during the initial months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Using theoretical frameworks from Kuh’s work on high impact practices (HIPs), this analysis offers empirical evidence that virtual student newsrooms may provide impactful learning experiences during crisis situations. Based on interviews, surveys, and newsroom observation, 23 magazine staff members reported improvements in their professional self-efficacy as they overcame logistics challenges and interpersonal hurdles similar to working media professionals. The case study also identifies strengths and weaknesses of crisis pedagogy. Implications for post-pandemic pedagogy and course planning are discussed.

Although Brazil has its tradition of journalistic thinking, this essay shows that the discipline of journalism theory has, in this country, an intellectual nucleus based in the United States and Europe. It is true that both academic cultures provide foundations, but they do not claim to provide explanations about the society in which Brazilian journalism developed. This argument is corroborated by the analysis of the bibliographic references used by Brazilian courses. Considering that the impetus for the de-Westernization must come from scholars in emerging countries, this essay argues that the curriculum could be a key element to incite this transformation.

storytelling (Judy Fahys’ chapter), documentaries (Valenti’s), and tweets (Bud Ward’s) to share environmental news in compelling ways. Part II covers environmental journalism in the United States. Pulitzer-Prize winner Rae Tyson describes reporting Love Canal, where unsuspecting homeowners had their neighborhoods and lives upended by toxic emissions. Also in this section are chapters by other giants such as Len Ackland describing his coverage of the now-closed nuclear bomb factory at Rocky Flats, 16 miles from Denver, Colorado. Perhaps the most eye-opening sections are parts III through VI, where environmental journalists from around the world—the U.K., Europe, Ukraine, Russia, Asia, Australia, Africa, the Middle East, and South America—describe their challenges and triumphs. This volume introduced me to Ji Li’s environmental reports in China, Mariana Verbovska’s in Ukraine, and Masako Konishi’s in Japan. The more the importance of environmental news is felt worldwide, the more it may be understood. This volume educates and inspires us to learn about environmental dangers so we address them.

What skills, attributes, and experiences are needed for a visual journalism job in a contemporary print and digital newsroom? Previous attempts at answering this question examine it through insights from hiring managers or news editors, often collected retrospectively or at arbitrary times of the year through surveys; analyses of position descriptions, which are often framed in normative terms; or through analyzing journalism curricula, which perpetually struggle to adapt nimbly to evolving industry demands. This signaling theory study adopts a novel approach by examining, through qualitative thematic analysis, all applicants’ resumes and cover letters submitted by candidates for a visual journalism job posted in 2019. The hiring organization sought a candidate who could not only tell newsworthy stories through images but also one who could “write their own stories,” “have strong organizational skills,” and be “knowledgeable about current digital technology and applications for smartphone photography.” The results provide insight into the types of applicants who apply to such a position; the skills, attributes, and experiences employers regard as worthy of shortlisting; and the strategies candidates adopted in addressing the position description and selection criteria.
