AmeriCorps’ for Student Journalists in Georgia:  A Program to Bring News Coverage to Rural Communities

The 2021 Baskett Mosse Award for Faculty Development has been awarded to Karin Assmann, Georgia, for her proposed project, “‘AmeriCorps’ for Student Journalists in Georgia:  A Program to Bring News Coverage to Rural Communities.”

The Baskett Mosse Award was created by AEJMC and the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications in honor of the late Baskett Mosse, executive secretary of the Accrediting Committee for 26 years. The award recognizes an outstanding young or mid-career faculty member and helps fund a proposed enrichment activity. This is not an annual award.  This year’s award will be presented during AEJMC’s Annual Conference at the General Session on Friday, Aug. 6, 11 a.m.
