I am pleased to share with you the summer edition of TJMC. The pieces published in this issue address the latest issues affecting educators in journalism and mass communication programs across the country and the larger scholarly community. From tips on creating rubrics for effective teamwork and innovative ideas for capstone projects to using AI as a tool for reporting and encouraging students to use AI ethically by developing a collaborative AI policy, this issue provides instructors with ideas to enhance their pedagogy.
I hope you enjoy the teaching and research articles in this issue, as well as the book reviews. Please consider submitting your work for our upcoming fall issue. You can find the call for submissions on our website.
I wish you all the best for the new semester.
