Integration as a Basis for Holistic Training of Students-Journalists (on the example of the experience of the department of journalism of NSPU)

Existing approaches to teaching at a university involve the widespread use of innovative technologies, which, however, are not completely capable of overcoming the subject disunity of the modern education system. This problem is relevant in the training of personnel for the media. The authors of the article see its overcoming in the integrated training of student journalists, which involves the formation of both professional and personal competencies. The purpose of the article is to identify the specifics of teaching journalism students, which is carried out within the framework of an integrated approach, which helps to ensure integrity in the training of future workers in the field of mass media. Methodology and research methods. The work is based on the study of general approaches to the organization of integrated learning. The main methods are theoretical, including analysis of the literature on the research problem, synthesis, generalization and interpretation of data, and empirical, represented by a participant observation. Research results. The authors propose their own definition of integrated learning, the study describes the system for training student journalists at NSPU, which allows achieving the integrity of learning through integration. Conclusion. Integration in the training of students-journalists is understood as an educational process implemented in educational and extracurricular activities, which are determined by the qualitative transformations that occur during the multidirectional training of students.

On Samuel R. Delany's Dhalgren ed. by Bill Wood

Reviewed by: On Samuel R. Delany's Dhalgrened. by Bill Wood A.J. Rocca Delany's Autumnal Anthology. Bill Wood, ed. On Samuel R. Delany's Dhalgren. Fantastic Books, 2021. 271 pp. $31.35 hc, $21.99 pbk. [End Page 195] On Samuel R. Delany's Dhalgrenis an eclectic collection of reviews, essays, interviews, and one poem all relating to Delany's most famous novel, published in 1975. This anthology began its existence as a set of Xeroxed documents relating to Dhalgrenin Samuel Delany's personal possession and stayed that way for years before it was published. The book we have now exists thanks to Bill Wood, Delany's personal assistant, who helped to make some last-minute additions to the anthology and prepared it for publication with Fantastic Books. On Samuel R. Delany's Dhalgrenis arranged into six sections, covering everything from some contemporary reviews of Dhalgrento its relationship to various other texts, including John Ashbery's "The Instruction Manual" (1956) and Delany's own Hogg(1995). These unusual additions make this a unique collection that opens up a number of forgotten or otherwise unexplored avenues into the world of Dhalgrenscholarship. One of the most useful aspects of On Samuel R. Delany's Dhalgrenis that it presents a fairly comprehensive timeline of Dhalgren's reception history through the twentieth century. The opening section is titled "Contemporary Reviews, 1975-1976," and in only seven reviews it does a good job of demonstrating the variety of responses Dhalgrenreceived when it was first published. Dhalgrenhas long been established as an sf classic, and it can be easy to forget what a controversy it kicked up in the sf community when it first appeared. Wood's anthology presents the range of that controversy nicely, bookended in my mind by the reviews of two sf sf greats: Theodore Sturgeon and Harlan Ellison. Sturgeon called Dhalgren"the very best ever to come out of the science fiction field" (23), while Ellison with signature Waldorf-and-Statlerian flare called it "an unrelenting bore of a literary exercise afflicted with elephantiasis, anemia of ideas and malnutrition of plot and character development. It is a master talent run amuck, suiciding endlessly for chapter after chapter of turgid, impenetrable prose" (21). I also appreciate the inclusion of a review in a college newspaper by Steven Paley and a review in The New York Timesby Gerald Jonas; these demonstrate the interest that college-aged and general audiences had in Dhalgren, and it was these audiences more than genre readers who were responsible for its initial commercial success. Following the contemporary reviews is a short section of reviews for Dhalgren's 1996 Wesleyan UP reprint. This documents how Dhalgrenover time was eventually canonized as an sf classic and also picked up the imprimatur of serious academic literature. Wood's anthology also includes a small selection of "Critical Reactions" from the scholarly literature on Dhalgren, with an emphasis on its narrative structure and use of language. Delany's own critical writings on Dhalgren, included in the anthology under the section "Delany on Dhalgren," also put a predominant focus on structure, sign, and myth. Additionally, this section documents Delany's peculiar history of oblique Dhalgrencriticism. Delany has proven that he has quite a lot to say about the novel, but he always does so through the proxy of either penname or metacommentary. [End Page 196] Beyond just documenting Dhalgren's own reception history, the collection also invites comparison with three intriguing sources that are not much talked about in Dhalgrenscholarship: John Ashbery's "The Instruction Manual," G. Spencer Brown's Laws of Form(1969), and Delany's Hogg. "The Instruction Manual" is reproduced in full under a section titled "Sources," and the collection explains its inclusion by stating that Delany's encounter with it in the early 1970s "resulted in a major restructuring of Dhalgren's material" (139). In the "Critical Reactions" section there is an essay by Kenneth James called "Subverted Equations," in which James discusses Delany's connection to G. Spencer Brown's Laws of Form, an obscure mathematical-philosophical work, and attempts to demonstrate the influence of...

A Study on the Diversity Journalism of Korean and American University Newspapers* Based on comparison and analysis of Yonsei Chunchu and Trojan

대학신문은 캠퍼스의 공론장이다. 디지털 미디어의 발달과 매체의 다양화로 대학신문의 위상이 크게 낮아졌다. 하지만 여전히 캠퍼스의 공식 매체이다. 따라서 대학신문이 구현하는 저널리즘의 가치는 높다. 사회 갈등, 코로나 19 확산, 유학생 증가 등 다양성 사회로의 분화가 이뤄지면서 대학사회도 큰 변화를 겪고 있다. 그렇다면 대학신문은 다양성 사회에서 어떤 저널리즘을 구현하고 있을까? 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 연세대 <연세춘추>, 서던캘러포니아대 <Trojan>의 2020년 1년 치 기사를 분석했다. 그리고 한국과 미국 다양성 보도의 차이점과 특징을 확인했다. 분석 결과 두 대학신문 간 관점의 차이는 있었다. 하지만, 갈등과 차별을 극복하기 위한 다양성 저널리즘은 충실하게 가동되고 있었다. 또 다양성 저널리즘 기사는 스트레이트보다는 의견, 주장을 이야기 형식으로 담아내는 박스 기사, 칼럼 기사로 표현하는 것으로 나타났다. 다양성 기사가 속한 지면의 경우 한국이 사회, 여론 면에 집중됐지만, 미국 대학신문은 섹션 구성 비율을 비교적 동등하게 분포된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 연구 결과를 토대로 △대학신문의 다양성 저널리즘 확대 △캠퍼스의 다문화 시민 의식 향상을 위한 대학신문의 다문화 저널리즘 구현 △갈등과 사회 이슈를 넘어선 인종, 민족, 국가 등을 포함한 광의의 다양성 저널리즘 구현 등을 제언한다.

ULAMA’S PUBLIC IMAGE IN ONLINE MASS MEDIA FOLLOWING THE CANDIDACY OF KH. MA’RUF AMIN

Ulama plays various roles in the society, including as a social, economic, or cultural broker. However, when it comes to politics, ulama is sometimes only viewed as a magnet to attract electoral votes. This paper examined the representation of ulama in the media upon the nomination of KH. Ma’ruf Amin as Jokowi’s VP and aimed to shed a light on the extent such a representation could lead to the ulama’s image shift, by taking al-Mawardi’s concept of leadership into account. Considering the nature of the data, this study employed a descriptive-qualitative paradigm which attempts to produce descriptive information. The data; news texts were taken from four online media were collected through intensive reading and note-taking, while for social cognition purpose, the data were taken from student press activists and collected through a semi-structured interview. The results show that all the media under investigation employed a positive presentation upon KH. Ma’ruf Amin’s nomination by using various discursive strategies, such as presenting religious as well as political career background (authority), showing the burdens that imply a negative representation of others, and incorporating the numerical data to intensify the positive image being framed. Therefore, through those discursive vehicles, KH. Ma’ruf Amin’s image of leadership is solely projected in two qualities: religious authority and ability to manage public affairs.

“Starting from scratch to looking really clean and professional”: how students’ productive labor legitimizes collegiate esports

ABSTRACT This article analyzes the relationship between student productive labor, or the creation of media content like podcasts or graphic designs, and the institutionalization of collegiate esports. Through 19 semi-structured interviews with students and professionals involved in different areas around collegiate esports, we found that students’ productive labor was a key force in the institutionalization of collegiate esports that generated value for university institutions, the collegiate esports program, and themselves. Student journalists, shoutcasters, and graphic designers perform immaterial labor (Lazzarato, M., 1996 Immaterial labour. Radical thought in Italy: A potential politics, 133–47) that combines technical expertise and familiarity with esports cultural norms to produce content for their university programs. Students reported their excitement to pursue careers throughout the esports industry while acknowledging the stiff competition and precarious nature of employment, resonating with Bulut’s (2020, A precarious game: The illusion of dream jobs in the video game industry) discussion of ludopolitics to examine who can play games versus who can work in the game industry. The article thus addresses the benefits, and risks, inherent in colleges’ reliance on student labor to structure and promote their nascent esports programs.

The Humanities in Public: A Computational Analysis of US National and Campus Newspapers

Academic defenses of the humanities often make two assumptions: first, that the overwhelming public perception of the humanities is one of crisis, and second, that our understanding of what the humanities mean is best traced through a lineage of famous reference points, from Matthew Arnold to the Harvard Redbook. We challenge these assumptions by reconsidering the humanities from the perspective of a corpus of over 147,000 relatively recent national and campus newspaper articles. Building from the work of the WhatEvery1Says project (WE1S), we employ computational methods to analyze how the humanities resonate in the daily language of communities, campuses, and cities across the US. We compare humanities discourse to science discourse, exploring the distinct ways that each type of discourse communicates research, situates itself institutionally, and discusses its value. Doing so shifts our understanding of both terms in the phrase “public humanities.” We turn from the sweeping and singular conception of “the public” often invoked by calls for a more public humanities to the multiple overlapping publics instantiated through the journalistic discourse we examine. And “the humanities” becomes not only the concept named by articles explicitly “about” the humanities, but also the accreted meaning of wide-ranging mentions of the term in building names, job titles, and announcements. We argue that such seemingly inconsequential uses of the term index diffuse yet vital connections between individuals, communities, and institutions including, but not limited to, colleges and universities. Ultimately, we aim to show that a robust understanding of how humanities discourse already interacts with and conceives of the publics it addresses should play a crucial role in informing ongoing and future public humanities efforts.

A Mission-Based Argument for Private K-12 Student Press

Although the First Amendment does not guarantee student press within public schools, it does help affirm the value of such opportunities to student communities. Private schools do not enjoy such constitutional support, but may have a more powerful tool closer to home: their own school mission statements. This study coded nearly 500 private K-12 school mission statements to determine whether the priorities identified by these programs align with the documented benefits of student journalism and found a strong connection between both.

Reimagining Journalistic Roles: How Student Journalists Are Taking On the U.S. News Desert Crisis

ABSTRACT The loss of mainstream newspapers in the past decade combined with the decline of the minority press has created ongoing discussion of the news desert crisis in U.S. journalism and around the world. While hundreds of communities go without access to local news, long-term solutions remain elusive. This research examines three case studies of U.S. journalism schools where student journalists operate digital startups in news desert communities. Through oral histories, this study explores how these college students belonging to “Generation Z” view their roles as journalists compared to normative professional conceptualizations and explores the practical implications of such. Students involved with these news desert startups placed greater emphasis on service or altruistic roles of journalism than the watchdog role often emphasized by professional journalists and other student media. Furthermore, many of these students embrace a more historical purview of what encompasses a news desert by emphasizing racial inequalities in traditional journalistic coverage. These student-run online newspapers illustrate not only a potential solution for addressing news deserts but a reimagining of the conceptual and practical roles of student journalists.

Student journalists exhibit different mindsets but agree on the need for truthful reporting

ABSTRACT This study investigates the ethical orientations journalism students bring to the profession they seek to enter. Using Q methodology to explore the participants’ subjective conceptions of journalism, we map their attitudes and beliefs about journalistic norms and ethics. Participants (n = 54) sorted 28 statements about journalism from ‘most like’ their journalistic mindset to ‘most unlike.’ Factor analysis identified two distinct mindsets among the participants, one expressing a traditional journalistic mindset, the other embracing a more involved, vocal journalism. Yet both factors expressed strong support for many facets of traditional journalism and embraced an orientation towards the search for truth and the need for truthful reporting.

Gold Wings and Brown Boots: The Organization of the Army ROTC at Marshall University

Gold Wings and Brown Boots:The Organization of the Army ROTC at Marshall University Nathaniel DeBruin The 1902 Marshall College catalog contains a photograph of young men in uniform standing in front of Old Main, the College's academic and administrative building. The caption reads, "Cadet Corps in front of College Hall." Other photos of student organizations and "boarding clubs" in the catalog show young men in the same uniform. A single paragraph in the Herald Advertiser relates that college president L. J. Corbly was petitioning state legislators to form a corps of cadets at the college.1 In the May 1902 edition of the Parthenon, the college student newspaper, another few sentences relate the arrival of the cadets' uniforms and the fact that one of the colleges' female boarding clubs enjoyed coming to campus to watch the "boys drill.'"2 One last mention is made of the corps of cadets greeting the train to welcome the winning Marshall College baseball team on May 31, 1902.3 And that is where the story ends – as suddenly as it appears, the corps vanishes. No further mention is found in the local or student newspapers after 1902, and the college catalogs after 1902 contain no mention or photographs of the corps or students in uniform. In 1934, Marshall College had another brief interaction with the military when the opportunity arose to host an Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) unit. Support for the unit was found among the student body; but the faculty was opposed, and the opportunity for a unit was lost. The Civilian Pilot Training Act of 1939 designated federal funds to create a Civilian Pilot Training Program (CPTP), which emulated the civilian pilot training programs in European countries. Marshall was selected to participate in the CPTP; the program included classroom instruction in aeronautics on campus and flight instruction at the Chesapeake (Ohio) Airport.4 It was not until 1943, when the US Army Air Force selected colleges and universities across the United States to provide academic training for aviation [End Page 1] Click for larger view View full resolution Figure 1. Marshall Catalog, 1902 (Marshall University Special Collections) cadets, that Marshall College and the military would finally come together. In February 1943, after meeting the criteria to host a unit, Marshall College was selected to become the home of the 47th College Training Detachment (CTD) (Aircrew). The 47th CTD became an integral part of the campus and the Huntington community until it was disbanded in April 1944. In 1950, Marshall applied for and was selected to host an official Army ROTC unit, and the Thundering Herd Battalion was created in September 1951. The desire for a military presence on the college's campus prior to World War II was mixed. However, as the United States moved toward entering the global conflict, Marshall actively sought and accepted an Army Air Force unit during the war. These changing attitudes toward education and the experiences of veterans returning to campus, both students and faculty, were instrumental in creating an atmosphere of increasing acceptance of the military that was absent prior to World War II. This presence of the armed forces on campus during the war and the changing attitudes toward veterans by faculty and other students contributed to the creation of an ROTC unit on Marshall's campus. The Early Years At the founding of the United States, it was a widely shared belief among the framers of the Constitution that "standing armies in time of peace are [End Page 2] inconsistent with the principles of republican government, dangerous to the liberties of a free people, and generally converted into destructive engines for establishing despotism."5 The result of this sentiment was a recurring cycle of expanding the military during times of crisis, and then just as quickly dismantling it when the threat or conflict had ceased. The Civil War made it apparent that the US Military Academy was not capable of meeting the demand for the large number of officers needed for a protracted conflict; thus a new method of training officers was needed.6 The debate over public funding of colleges and universities had also been ongoing prior to the...

Prescription for Death

In 1924, students at the Ohio State University (OSU) College of Pharmacy were assigned to work at the Pharmacy Dispensary at the University’s Student Health Service. Dr. H. Shindle Wingert, director of the Service, routinely prescribed “R&amp;Ws”—five grains of aspirin, put up in red capsules, and two grains of quinine, put up in white capsules—for students complaining of colds, fever, and minor muscle pain. In January 1925, six students became ill after receiving prescriptions for R &amp; Ws. Two of the students, Charles Huls and David Puskin, died. The diagnosis was strychnine poisoning. An investigation found no strychnine in the capsules at the dispensary and assumed that poisoned capsules had been added to the stock jar of R &amp; Ws. The dispensary did not have a licensed pharmacist on duty during all hours of its operation as required by Ohio law. A strict college policy limited access to strychnine. OSU’s student newspaper, the <i>Lantern</i>, speculated that the “poison capsules case” might never be solved. This article returns to the famous OSU poisoning case and uses new archival evidence to closely reexamine the motives of the actors most implicated in the tragedy.

Relation Between School Journalism and Democracy

This article mainly studies the role of media on campus. Almost all schools have student organizations, but there is little to monitor them and report the truth. As one of the students, I founded the school newspaper We Say, which became the largest media in the school. Through this paper, I hope to explore whether the media can help promote democracy and the role of the media in social groups. Although the school only has a few thousand people, I still hope to use the school as a model for a small society. Whether it is of great significance to study our journalism through practice. Finally, I found the answer. Our journalism serves three very important functions in our schools: informing people, investigating and making the students organization democratic, and building a forum for everyone.

„Lost generation” and crisis of identity among Ukrianian displaced persons in the novel Enej ta žyttia inšyh by Yurii Kosach

Yurii Kosach Poet, writer, and dramatist; nephew of Lesia Ukrainka; grandson of Olena Pchilka. After graduating from the Academic Gymnasium of Lviv, Kosach studied law at Warsaw University. He began publishing short stories in student newspapers in 1927. Between 1928 and 1929 he published most of his works in the nationalist journal Literaturno-naukovyi vistnyk edited by Dmytro Dontsov after he had broken off his relations with Dontsov in 1929. After the war he lived in displaced persons camps in Germany and was an active member of the writers’ organization MUR. In 1949 he immigrated to the United States. By far the largest and most interesting body of work is Kosach’s prose, written prior to his emigration to the United States and then in the last decade of his life, first of all Enei ta zhyttia inshykh (Aeneas and the Lives of Others, 1947) where he argued the issues of new Ukrainian culture with so called “lost generation”.

“The Paper Is White”: Examining Diversity Issues With the Next Generation of Journalists

Although the lack of diversity in newsrooms and reporting remains a serious issue in the journalism industry, college journalism education and student media provide a critical opportunity for change. Yet prior research has found notable diversity gaps in both. This study analyzed the state of diversity at a Midwestern university student newspaper and found significant gaps in coverage of diverse populations. The findings suggest the need for more comprehensive diversity education within the college classroom and campus media advising. This is important not only for more representative student media, but also for the future of journalism.
