Evaluation, not just instruction

Community, in lieu of isolation

Coaching, instead of lectures

set San Jose State’s journalism program apart from so many — it’s the basis of how we operate.

The journalism schools I deal with as well as my own, have been surpassing the industry’s needs for some time now. The problem isn’t that we are standing still: our tech-saavy students prevent us from doing that. The problem is that the industry is not asking our students to use the skills we teach them. This begs the real question: Should we teach skills we believe newspapers will use in the future or the ones they actually demand today? If your answer is “both” then you understand the curricular quandary I-schools everywhere are in.
