Bridging the Gaps: Transfer between Scholarly Research and Newsrooms in Journalism Education--Toward an Evidence-Based Practice in an Age of Post-Truth and State of Flux
Meier, Klaus; Schützeneder, Jonas
Journalism and Mass Communication Educator, v74 n2 p199-211 Jun 2019
Two boundaries impede an evidence-based perspective of journalism students and graduates on change, innovation, and epistemological problems of media reality: The separation of practical journalism training from scientific journalism research and the lack of transfer between academic research and newsrooms. The approach of this article bridges these gaps by making transfer projects a third pillar of journalism education. Based on projects from a master's degree program, we show how--in an age of post-truth and state of flux in a developing digital journalism practice--students' awareness of an evidence-based journalistic practice can be strengthened by research in and with newsrooms.
