What should journalists do to earn public trust? What do White House
correspondents really think of the Bush administration? Is the Internet
making plagiarism easier in the nation's newsrooms? Read all
about it in the AEJMC
Reporter, online this week from Austin, Texas, with daily
stories and pictures from the association's annual convention.
At the Association for Education in Journalism & Mass Communication annual gathering, "convention paper" usually means the hundreds of academic research papers presented by faculty and grad students from across the nation.
Late addition: I suggested to Ajit that students who contributed to the paper might want a direct link to their work for their c.v., and some faculty might want to link to a specific story for a class discussion. He came up with a handy numbering system for the stories. You can link to any story by adding its date and its position on that day's story menu to the Web address, like this:
aejmc.net/SAT05/?20050811&story=12
That link leads to #12 on the August 11 paper's story list, "Session teaches teachers how to teach grammar."
This one,
aejmc.net/SAT05/?20050811&story=10, is "Is blogging journalism?", the story whose headline appears two lines higher on the list.

At the Association for Education in Journalism & Mass Communication annual gathering, "convention paper" usually means the hundreds of academic research papers presented by faculty and grad students from across the nation.
This year, more than two-dozen students and
faculty are returning to their professional roots, working as
reporters, photographers and editors to produce a convention daily,
covering keynote speeches, panel discussions and things to do in Austin
(one headline: "Visitors beat the heat, stay indoors"). Newspaper Division head
Maggie Rivas-Rodriguez and Lorraine Branham, both of UT-Austin, are
co-publishers, with Robert Bohler of Texas Christian
Univeristy as editor.

In the inaugural edition's welcome
story, Branham and Rivas-Rodriguez said the paper is not just
a service to the membership.
"We also want to demonstrate the skills we
teach our students," they said. "And for our professors, it[base ']s a chance
to show that
we not only teach ... we do."

Update
note: My blogging software has been having trouble with the Web
addresses above that have ampersands in them. Those specific-story
addresses should end with a questionmark, the paper's date (20050811),
an ampersand, and "story=10" (or whatever position the story's headline
is on that days AEJMC Reporter page). They should not have an
ampersand followed by the letters "amp" and a semicolon.
