New Year’s Resolutions for the Journalism Classroom

Journalism education is fraught with challenges, but new years bring new opportunities. We asked a few forward-thinking instructors what they’re resolving to do in 2014 and visualized them with the help of Sara Quinn from the Poynter Institute (@saraquinn). Make a resolution of your own. What will you do in the classroom or beyond this year? Add your ideas in the comments. And don’t forget to join all our conversations on moving journalism education forward at #EdShift on Twitter.

  • I will join a professional organization —like the Journalism Education Association, jea.org — for a viable professional learning community and a supportive professional development.

  • I want to keep reminding my students (and colleagues) that photojournalism is more than just being someplace with a camera.

    • Great point, Rob. One of the things EducationShift will be doing in the coming months is offering posts on key principles in different areas of practice, such as "10 things a non-photo instructor should teach her reporting students about photography." Not the jazziest title in the world, but you get what I mean.
