This study explored the effectiveness of the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications' diversity standard from 1989 to 2002. Although this standard, known as Standard 12, had the most non-compliances, the findings credit the standard for increasing non-white and female faculty and students in accredited journalism units. The findings also credit the standard for the development of courses that focus on issues pertaining to women and non-whites in journalism. But the study also concluded that stronger enforcement and additional strategies were needed to fully achieve diversity in journalism and mass communication education.
Journalism and mass communication programs play an important role on college campuses, yet are relatively small in comparison to other professional schools - such as law, business, and engineering. While the questions that arose are not exhaustive, they provide context around the conversations that should be taking place within J&MC programs and among the organizations that serve those programs. * do rankings mean anything? * for whom are we ranking? * how do we remain relevant within our own institutions? * what does it mean to be a professional school as the funding models change? * aren't we more than just about skills? * are we teaching the meaning of a free press? * what is our research value in a university? * do industry pressures cause conflict with academic pressures? * do...

This article argues that a clearer method to determine who qualifies as an ethnic minority is necessary in order for affirmative action to survive stringent, narrow tailoring requirements and enjoy continued implementation in institutions of higher learning. The lack of scrutiny on minority status undermines the legitimacy of critical mass rationale and seriously threatens the constitutionality of affirmative action itself. In order to legitimize the pursuit of a critical mass, programs that rely on racial classification must clearly articulate the criteria of what "racial minority" includes, and look beyond simply whether or not the proverbial box was checked to account for the presence of phantom minorities. Without phantom minorities to dilute critical mass, space will open up, makin...
Exploratory studies were conducted in the United States and Sweden in the spring and autumn of 2004 to determine how faculty in journalism/mass communication programs acknowledged and conceptualized media literacy both as a teaching tool and educational concept. The Swedish participants' feedback was markedly different from U.S. academics' in terms of acknowledgement and conceptualization of media literacy. Conclusions drawn may help clarify media literacy's intentions as both a curricular benefit and new teaching tool for programs of journalism/mass communication/media in the United States. Comparisons also provide a base for future rigid exploration into this topic.
NORTH HAVEN -- Leaders of the 15 communities that make up the South Central Regional Council of Governments urged state lawmakers from the area to support improved mass transit in Connecticut and overhaul the state's education cost sharing program when the legislature reconvenes next year.
