Instructional Design for the Future of Undergraduate Journalism Education
Farmer, Christopher J.
International Journal of Adult Vocational Education and Technology, v3 n1 Article 5 p51-62 2012
In the face of communication changes brought on by technology, journalism curriculum needs restructuring while staying true to its core values. Using an instructional design framework, and a case study, this paper proposes a journalism education based on Esser's spheres of influence. Current practices and principles are discussed. A literature review and emerging trends shape the proposed curriculum clusters: the business and profession of journalism, communication, and community/society.
