Funders warn journalism schools: Reform or else!
Six foundations have warned journalism schools that if they continue to lag behind they “will find it difficult to raise money from foundations interested in the future of news.”
The funders’ letter to university presidents says in part:
We believe journalism and communications schools must be willing to recreate themselves if they are to succeed in playing their vital roles as news creators and innovators. Some leading schools are doing this but most are not. … We are calling on university presidents and provosts to join us in supporting the reform of journalism and mass communication education.
