This study seeks to bridge the gap between education and practice by conducting qualitative research with hiring managers at legacy media companies. Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with 15 media managers on the East and West coasts of the United States to understand how to prepare students for a dynamic media industry. The study identified themes related to experience, resume writing, successful interning, showing passion, interviewing, self-branding, and advice for educators. It is recommended that educators and media programs provide students with a broad overview of the media landscape, more skills-based classes, and a strong connection to the industry.

This paper describes a curricular project in which a network of media educators, in making a case for the educational and social values of an interactive documentary, integrated it in a media degree program to encourage activism in students and promote civic engagement. The project provides valid and important results in an immediate sense, while also establishing the foundation for strengthening the media curriculum at educational institutions. For educators, this has positive implications, as along with the traditional content we teach, we also strive to increase the awareness of civic issues among our students to make them better citizens.

Leadership is examined in sections such as governance and public opinion, leadership as symbolic capital, and the moral politics of leadership. While Dodd’s discussions of Bourdieu’s field theory and the role of metaphor in shaping behavior may be challenging material for some undergraduates, the chapter combines with Chapter 1 to adequately prepare readers for the case study and analysis in Part 2. As Dodd sees it, news reports throughout the Tasmania election season amounted to a natural experiment in solutions journalism. Adopting the tag “New Tasmania” was an effort by governmental authorities to foster consensus and instill hope by focusing conversation on shared goals for a better future – attributes that align with the aims of solution journalism as practiced elsewhere in the world. The case study applies the framework outlined in Part 1 to consider how or if solutions journalism may foster hope while it also broadens our understanding of leadership and who may qualify as a leader. Specialized knowledge of the geopolitics of Tasmania is helpful but not necessary to benefit from the case study and its conclusions. Spoiler alert: Problems that existed prior to the New Tasmania campaign persist. The viewpoints of potential thought leaders were marginalized and certain topics, such as a proposed ban on poker machines, took on outsized importance. Dodd turned to Tasmania because its relative isolation offered a clean slate to sample solutions reporting but found even here that “global winds of change and adversity, raised expectations and hopes dashed” were intractable (p. 150). Without agreeing among themselves to adapt strategies of solutions journalism, the Tasmanian reporters had tried nonetheless to address their audiences’ diminished optimism and public engagement. “[Even] though their responses to these challenges were imperfect,” Dodd concludes, “studying them enriches global understanding of solutions reporting, a practice as pervasive as hope itself” (p. 150.) While a capsule history of reporting on “good news” would have been useful context to assess Dodd’s conclusions that solutions journalism will increase peoples’ willingness to fix problems without passively waiting for officials to act first, Solutions journalism is a worthwhile addition to our understanding of ways that responsible, responsive reporting may be enhanced by adapting knowledge and practice drawn from fields beyond our own.

Understanding the profiles of communication students offers meaningful information for the design of satisfactory academic programs which enhance their skills and orientate their future professional careers. This research studies the relationship between creativity, personality, and relation to art of 126 Singaporean communication students. It gathers psychometric evidence for the K-DOCS, analyzes its relationship with personality, and proposes an orientation toward arts scale. Main results show that these students relate art to self/everyday, scholarly, and artistic creativity. Also, there is a link between their personality (agreeableness and openness) and creativity (self/everyday, scholarly, and artistic) in the relation to art.

Although the First Amendment does not guarantee student press within public schools, it does help affirm the value of such opportunities to student communities. Private schools do not enjoy such constitutional support, but may have a more powerful tool closer to home: their own school mission statements. This study coded nearly 500 private K-12 school mission statements to determine whether the priorities identified by these programs align with the documented benefits of student journalism and found a strong connection between both.
