EDITOR’S NOTE
by Cathy Strong
This issue hits some topics that face most of us in this industry, such as trying to update the curriculum to build in more 21st century technology, to understand how students perceive online courses, or to know the effectiveness of experiential learning for Sports Journalism.
In addition, read the articles below to discover new ways of teaching Active Listening, or teaching Instagram Reporting.
These are just a few of the research papers and commentaries in this edition that will challenge and inform educators looking to improve their teaching.
A huge thank-you to the journal’s professional production team of Jon Bekken of Albright College and Mitzi Lewis of Midwestern State University. They are invaluable to this journal, and enjoyable to work with.
Enjoy the Christmas season reading!
