Volume 7, Number 2, 2017
This TJMC issue should give you plenty to think about when designing your next course. The articles describe how other professors attempt to better engage students, such as using current celebrity scandals as topics, the traditional beat-reporting system, and teaching all news platforms concurrently. Also find out how much students want to connect with you outside of class, and if the name of your school is still current. And there is much more, as you can see scanning down the Contents page. Have a read and let us know what you think on the Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/teachingjmc/.
The editorial team has a few new faces in Cathy Strong as editor and Jon Bekken as designer, and fortunately the continued support from Mitzi Lewis as web designer. A big thank-you to the reviewers and copyeditors who donate their time and expertise so generously.
