Reinventing Journalism at U of Nevada, Reno
David Ryfe, associate professor at the Reynolds School of Journalism, University of Nevada, Reno, points us to the school’s graduate program entitled: Interactive Environmental Journalism.
The program description includes this:
Our professional graduate program is an intensive 10-month immersion in thinking about, experimenting with and creating new forms of journalism…
We are focusing on Lake Tahoe and its surrounding communities as a laboratory for our work. You will have the opportunity to work at the Lake and develop projects that test new theories of journalism.
Some of those new theories grow out of public journalism and others date back to the Lippmann and Dewey debates, which themselves draw from the earliest discussions of what is democracy and what is the public’s role in a democracy. All of which is part of a Ryfe class dealing with Explorations in Journalism and Democracy.
