Top Faculty Extended Abstract award
Roff, K., Kyser Lough and McIntyre, K. received the Top Faculty Extended Abstract award for “Beyond Graduation: Evaluating the impact of university-level solutions journalism education on journalists in the field,” which was accepted for presentation by the Scholastic Journalism Division at the 2023 Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication Annual Conference, August.
Abstract: In recent years, scholars have turned their attention to studying solutions journalism—news reporting that focuses on responses to problems. However, just one study has examined solutions journalism education, despite a sharp increase in the subject being taught in U.S. universities. Through interviews with media professionals who studied solutions journalism in college and are now working in the news industry, this study seeks to discover how solutions journalism education translates to professional practice.
