Three new WJEC publications will be presented at a special session “Teaching journalism today”, on Monday July 10, at IAMCR conference in Lyon.
‘Journalistic Roles, Values and Qualifications in the Network Era’ by Nico Drok and Rolien Duiven, describes the views of journalism educators around the globe on the future of journalism including interesting similarities and differences.
‘Teaching Journalism Online’ by Susan Keith and Raluco Cozma (eds.), is a handbook for journalism instructors to enable them to design and perform good online, remote, and hybrid teaching with whatever resources they have at hand, and how to overcome shortfalls of digital learning.
’Reporting Artificial Intelligence’ by Maarit Jaakkola (ed.), is a handbook that sees the covering of computer- and data-driven society as part of general news journalism rather than as part of a specialized subgenre of science journalism. It proposes appropriate guidelines for covering AI by generalists without any specific pre-knowledge of computer science.
The two excellent handbooks are part of the WJEC-UNESCO PROJECT ‘Journalism education for the 21st century.
The special session is held at the Rockefeller Centre in Lyon, from 08.30 to 10.00 am.
