Diversity Across the Curriculum (E301)
Travel and hotel paid by Poynter. As newsrooms grapple with the challenges of covering increasingly diverse communities, journalists will need greater skill at finding and framing stories that resonate with this dynamic audience. Educators can help aspiring journalists increase their competence by moving diversity from the back pages of textbooks and into every lesson plan. The basic skills of journalism - interviewing, reporting, storytelling, photojournalism, copy editing, design - all present opportunities to bring more people, greater accuracy, and more compelling journalism to readers, listeners, and viewers. This seminar will help educators take apart the syllabus and find ways, big and small, to teach those basic skills while making diversity a seamless part of teaching journalistic excellence.
