Reimagining Journalism Education in the Age of Change
June 30, 2022
8 a.m. – 12 p.m. U.S. Central Time

The 2022 WJEC online conference will focus on reimagining journalism curriculum, the future of j-education and the challenges it currently faces. Journalism pedagogy has been a central theme in the WJEC gatherings since the first congress in Singapore. However, the shift to online teaching, triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, necessitates a paradigm shift.

The conference will follow the global conversations about “Journalism education for the 21st century,” a series of roundtables organized by WJEC, with the support of UNESCO.

Conference streams: The 2022 WJEC online conference will run in parallel streams. Inspired by the format of WJEC syndicates, these sessions will focus on the following themes (see detailed information on the full conference and on each stream here<https://wjec.net/call-for-paper-abstracts-2022-wjec-online-conference/>):

•          Covid-19 and journalism education

•          Teaching journalism online

•          Journalism education in the age of misinformation

•          Bridging the gap between the classroom and the newsroom
