Could you forward it to your listserv, newsletter editor, etc.? Thanks, John JenksCo-Chair, Research, SPIG Special SPIG call for Denver AEJMC: Social justice journalism in the classroom. We teach techniques and technology, law and theory, but how should we handle questions of social justice? Advocacy for the poor and powerless is nothing new to journalism. Muckrakers and crusaders through the decades have lived by the motto: "afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted." Many of us teach students about America's strong tradition of the alternative press that still thrives today. Additionally, many colleges and universities have social justice as part of their mission. But what should this mean to journalism educators? How does a commitment to social justice square with journalists' ideals of fairness, accuracy, impartiality and truth? Here's a chance to explore. SPIG invites critical essays, qualitative papers, and quantitative research on the issues and questions involved in pursuing justice through the journalism classroom. We already have a slot reserved for this research panel during the Denver convention - 5 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 5. This is in addition to our regular research showcase at the scholar-to-scholar session. Submit your papers through the standard All Academic on-line process by April 1. (Details available at: http://aejmc.org/_10call.php) Make sure you use the phrase "social justice" somewhere in the title.
