Mya Davis, a rising senior at South Elgin High School’s BEACON Academy of Media & Digital Arts, spent part of her summer in Washington D.C. at the 2024 Washington Journalism and Media conference at George Mason University. Mya represented the State of Illinois as a National Youth Correspondent, participating in a week-long experiential learning program for exceptional high school students interested in journalism and media. Navigating the ever-changing landscape of media can be challenging, but Mya learned how the “power of yes,” can set her apart from others in the field. “It is now instilled in me that if I want to stand out, I have to say yes to things that may be out of my comfort zone,” said Mya. She hopes to major in broadcast and digital journalism, as well as political science and hopes to use her experience at the conference to help guide her to become a journalist. #U46Proud

🚨 Improving trust in journalism will require “greater visibility, transparency, and public engagement” to achieve a more effective level of press regulation. That is according to new research from the Universities of Leeds and Derby. The study, which was supported by Impress, saw Professor Julie Firmstone and Professor John Steel carry out eight focus group sessions with a total of 44 participants, and uncovered a lack of trust in the news media and a need to boost knowledge levels regarding how regulatory processes work. “Our study highlights the need for news organisations and regulators to have a more visible and meaningful engagement with the public and to take note of their suggestions for addressing the challenges of declining trust in news," the researchers said. Find out the full details of the new research here! 👉 https://lnkd.in/ds6BQAHD University of Leeds | University of Leeds Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Cultures | Leeds Social Sciences Institute | University of Derby | #Research #Journalism #Regulation #PublicEngagement

Jorie Fawcett, editor-in-chief of the Vanderbilt Hustler, is quoted in this Tennessean article, which celebrates Student Press Freedom Day and the importance of free expression, especially on college campuses. "Vanderbilt doesn't have a journalism department, so all of our reporters have come together, as engineering, science, education majors, under a united love and passion for journalism and storytelling. This gives us a unique perspective to break stories and uncover news that the university or other outlets might miss out on," said Jorie. Read more below: #DialogueVanderbilt https://lnkd.in/ei6XH_Nt

Seeing a couple of journalism fellowships cross my desk and I have questions: ✒ What do people look for in these types of applications that I should be aware of as I prepare to apply? ✒ What happens when I run out of reference letter candidates (not exactly the right word here but mostly fits the bill)? ✒ Are most people up for writing more than one reference letter on your behalf? Let's talk about how all of us can make these applications the best they can be.
