ASNE on the move
Institute for Journalism Excellence Fellows gather
at API
Twenty-four college journalism educators who were selected to
the 1997 Institute for Journalism Excellence have completed a weeklong
newspaper industry overview seminar at the American Press Institute in
Reston, Va. The seminar, which took place June 9-14, included topics such
as the evolving newsroom; ethics and credibility; who today’s newspaper
readers are and who they’ll be in the future; database reporting; new media;
newspaper design; and marketing the news.
The ASNE Fellows are now working as reporters and editors at newspapers
around the country and in Canada until July 23, which will be followed
by a two-day debriefing session in Chicago.
The goal of the seven-week summer institute, which is now in its third
year, is to strengthen the connection between journalism education and
daily newspapers. The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation has renewed
funding for the institute for 1998-2000.
