Before the introduction of journalism education at UNC, journalism still thrived on campus. The Tar Heel was founded by the University Athletic Association to publicize athletic events. The University Press, a private printing shop in New West incorporated by five faculty members, printed the Tar Heel and university publications, providing work experience for aspiring journalists.

The Lead

Prior to 1909

Chair in Journalism and Digital Media Economics, Penny Abernathy, to build a national resource at the school for digital media economics and emerging advertising models.

Journalism education began at Carolina a century ago when Edward Kidder Graham taught the first course that would lay the foundation for what has become one of the world’s very best schools of journalism and mass communication.

Graham, a visionary leader who became president of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, is credited with setting the course for the University’s commitment to service and outreach to the state. His vision is alive and well today at the UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication.

In our centennial year, we have launched an ambitious new curriculum, converted our television studio to high definition, expanded our global reach and forged new research partnerships to ensure that quality journalism thrives in the digital age.

We are increasing our focus on the business side of digital media. A new Knight Chair in Digital Advertising funded by the Knight Foundation will work with the school’s Knight

It’s an exciting and transformational time at the school.

I hope you enjoy learning more about the school in the pages of this special centennial edition of our annual dean’s report and yearbook.

Thank you,

Jean Folkerts, Dean

3 Centennial Yearbook and Dean's Report

We do our work in a time of great change for the industry we serve, and we embrace our role to help shape its future.

Chris Roush, the school’s Walter E. Hussman Sr. Distinguished Scholar and director of the Carolina Business News Initiative, is working with the Kenan-Flagler Business School to begin offering a major in business journalism. It’s another example of how the school continually reaches out and finds new ways to collaborate and respond to the needs of students and society.

THE LEAD

I have the great honor and privilege of working with what I believe to be the nation’s best faculty, most talented students and most loyal alumni to usher in the second century of journalism and mass communication education in Chapel Hill.

Monty Cook, former senior vice president and editor of The Baltimore Sun and baltimoresun.com, has joined the faculty to lead an experimental digital news and audience research initiative designed to help news organizations adapt to the new media environment. The initiative, funded with a $3.5 million gift from the estate of Carolina alumnus Reese Felts, differs from digital media efforts at other universities because it will function as a research center that studies products, audiences and communities that form around the news.

Students in the University Press Association wrote stories about the University for their hometown newspapers – an activity supported

by UNC leaders because it was the University’s only source of publicity.

Before 1893, several UNC graduates were working for major newspapers in the state and nation.

WHO Faculty New Faculty Assistant professor Trevy McDonald joined the school’s faculty in January 2010. Her teaching interests include diversity and media, electronic communication and media and society. Her research interests include media socialization, media uses and effects, audience studies and race and gender. She is the owner of Reyomi Global Media Group, an independent book publishing and consulting company based in Durham, N.C. McDonald is the co-editor of two scholarly anthologies, and she authored the novel “Time Will Tell.”

Before coming to Carolina, McDonald taught communication courses at N.C. State University, N.C. Central University and Spertus College. She was honored in 2008 with a Distinguished Alumni Award from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh where she serves on the alumni association board of directors.

Chad A. Stevens joined the school in July 2009 from MediaStorm, a multimedia production company based in New York City, where he was an award-winning documentary producer/editor.

Stevens has been on the faculty of visual communication programs at Western Kentucky University, the International Center of Photography and Ohio University. He is working on a feature length documentary film on the conflict over energy extraction in Appalachia.

Stevens has received two Emmy nominations, one Webby Award and many photography and multimedia awards in the Pictures of the Year International and National Press Photographers Association Best of Photojournalism competitions. While teaching at Western Kentucky, he won the University Faculty Award for Public Service in 2006.

He is a 1999 graduate of Western Kentucky and earned his master’s at Ohio University in 2009.

He has interned at National Geographic Magazine, The Hartford Courant, the Muskegon Chronicle and the Jackson Hole Guide.

WHO

During his time as a student at Western Kentucky, he traveled to Palestine and other Middle East countries. He was named 1997 College Photographer of the Year.

The first journalism course: Edward Kidder Graham, a former Tar Heel editor, taught English 16, “Journalism,” on Sept. 9, likely in Smith Hall (now Playmakers Theater) to begin formal journalism instruction. The two-credit course was described as “the history of journalism; the technique of style; the structure of the news story; and the study of modern journals” in the 1909–10 academic catalog.

Diversity efforts at Carolina and the J-school

WHO

Diversity was one aspect that came under review during the school’s 2009 re-accreditation visit. The school was specifically commended for support of targeted hiring and gender diversity within the faculty, administration and staff.

Women represent 40 percent of the faculty and hold major leadership positions in the school.

Minorities represent 19 percent of the faculty.

Minorities make up approximately 16 percent of the school’s enrollment. While this percentage is lower than the state’s minority representation (32.8 percent), it is higher than many other units on campus. Moreover, minority students interviewed during the accreditation visit said that the environment is inclusive, but they said they would like more guest speakers from diverse races and ethnicities.

The school takes a broad view of diversity, seeking to be inclusive of racial, ethnic, cultural and gender differences. The school also embraces interdisciplinary and international programs. Like many departments at UNC, the school has taken action steps to support University’s diversity goals.

Carolina’s most recent annual diversity plan report revealed “uneven to modest success” in achieving greater racial/ethnic diversity among faculty and staff. “It will take time to achieve

everything we hope to accomplish,” said Chancellor Holden Thorp.

UNC’s diversity goals include: • publicizing commitment to diversity; • achieving critical masses of underrepresented populations; • offering quality diversity training and education; • addressing climate in which respectful discussions of diversity are encouraged; and • conducting research on diversity.

J-school faculty, staff and students seek and engage in diversity initiatives that support the University’s goals. For many years, the school has worked for diversity through programs such as the N.C. Scholastic Media Association, Project Uplift and various undergraduate admissions programs such as Scholars Day, Decision Day, Carolina Connect and Explore Carolina.

Here is a sampling of the school’s new and continuing diversity programs: • When UNC’s student body president was murdered in 2008, and two young men from Durham were charged with the crime, one professor initiated an urban youth community newspaper and Web site (durhamvoice.org) for Northeast Central Durham.

equipment grant and partnerships with the journalism program at N.C. Central University, Durham high schools and inner-city revitalization officials laid the groundwork for the project.

• Many of the school’s courses carry a strong diversity component, including the “Black Press and United States History,” “Diversity and Communication,” “Gender and Communication” and “Latino Media Studies.”

Remund named Page Legacy Scholar

School of Journalism and Mass Communication

18

The Arthur W. Page Center for Integrity in Public Communication selected second-year doctoral student Dave Remund as a Page Legacy Scholar for the 2009–2010 academic year.

The national organization awarded Remund $2,000 in grant funds to continue research on Page’s work editing “The World’s Work” magazine from 1913–1927 and his overall influence in the fields of corporate communications and corporate citizenship.

“The center has chosen a deserving scholar for this award,” assistant professor Barbara Friedman said. “David’s project is a substantive contribution to public relations and magazine history and more specifically, to further understanding of the historical role of Arthur Page.”

Page was the first public relations professional to serve as an officer and director of a major corporation, AT&T. He established a series of concepts encouraging ethics and integrity in the profession, known as the “Page principles,” which serve as a model for public relations practitioners to this day.

“In the first 20 years of my

career in public relations, I faced countless ethical challenges and decisions,” Remund said. “I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to serve the Arthur W. Page Center and the larger academic and professional communities with this project.”

In his research, Remund will expand upon a paper begun last spring in Friedman’s course, “Readings in Mass Communication History.” His research goal is to evaluate “how, and the degree to which Page’s editorial work stressed the need for corporate social responsibility.” He believes that Page’s reputation as a corporate social responsibility advocate stemmed from prior experiences at “The World’s Work.”

Remund’s general research focuses on ethics and leadership in public relations. He entered the doctoral program after working in communications-related roles at organizations such as Innova Ideas & Services, Bank of America, The Principal Financial Group and Wells Fargo.

He received his undergraduate degree in journalism and his master’s in communication leader-

ship from Drake University, and also earned the Accredited in Public Relations designation from the Public Relations Society of America.

In addition to expounding on Page’s work, Remund believes his current project pays homage to his late father who, like Page, managed a phone company and maintained a constant commitment to the greater community.

“Dad would have loved this project as much as I do,” Remund said. “In some small way, I believe that being a Legacy Scholar will honor the influence Dad’s life has had on my career and my conviction for the ethical practice of public relations.”  – By Alli Soule second-year master’s student

Bradley Hamm, dean and professor at the Indiana University School of Journalism, and Melanie Sill, editor and senior vice president for The Sacramento Bee, are among six new members appointed in January 2010.

Poynter’s board provides feedback and advice to the institute’s president throughout the year. Board members serve terms of four years.

Hamm earned his doctoral degree in mass communication research from the Carolina. Before joining Indiana University, he was the associate dean of the School of Melanie Sill Communications at Elon University.

Hamm has taught in study abroad programs in Japan, China and Great Britain and started his career as a newspaper reporter. His teaching and research interests are in journalism history and media theory, particularly agenda setting theory.

Sill is responsible for The Bee’s print and online news and opinion content and its digital media department. She joined The Bee in 2007 after nearly 25 years at The Bradley Hamm News & Observer, most recently as executive editor and senior vice president. Prior to working for The News & Observer, she worked as a reporter at The Transylvania Times in Brevard, N.C. and in the state capital bureau of United Press International. Sill is a member of the American Society of Newspaper Editors and Investigative Reporters and Editors and the National Freedom of Information Coalition Board of Directors.

Speed Hallman, associate dean for development and alumni affairs, discussed some of the ways Tar Heels can give back to the school.

The breakfast also celebrated the creation of a Ph.D. Alumni Association blog, which can be found at jomcphdalumni.wordpress.com, and a mentoring program.

Another Ph.D. reunion is scheduled for March 12, 2010, during the AEJMC Southeast Colloquium being held in Chapel Hill.

Glenn Scott, a doctoral alumnus and faculty member at Elon University, is the new president of the Ph.D. Alumni Association. Tim Bajkiewicz, a 2002 graduate and an associate professor at Virginia Commonwealth University, was elected vice president.

ABC News first selected the school as home to a digital bureau in 2008, providing annual stipends to manage the bureau and providing digital technology including video cameras, computers and editing software.

Student bureau members produce multimedia content, and on a daily basis they gather information, visuals and audio that are incorporated into network coverage on a variety of ABC News digital and broadcast platforms. Students receive hands-on guidance in their efforts from network producers.

When the bureau opened in September 2008, Carolina’s first ABC Bureau Chief was Carly Swain. In the summer of 2009, Nadine Maeser took charge of the bureau. In fall 2009, student Chris Badders took the helm. Other members of the 2009–10 bureau staff include Lauren McGaha and Adam Yosim. Assistant professor Dave Cupp serves as the faculty adviser.

The team praised the school for:

Accreditation The school was re-accredited in 2009 by the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (ACEJMC).

The recommendation came after a February 2009 visit to the school by a team of academics and professionals representing the accrediting council that said the school “has earned a reputation as one of the premier programs in journalism and mass communication.” The school has been accredited since 1958.

The team called the new curriculum that launched in fall 2009 “a more converged and ambitious undergraduate curriculum” and said “students universally praise the quality of their instructors.”

Team members commended the relationship between the school and N.C. media, saying “one of the more remarkable legacies of the school is the extraordinary support it receives from the N.C. news and media industries.”

ACEJMC is the national organization that evaluates journalism and mass communication programs. All accredited programs are reviewed every six years.

Advertising Advertising is the second largest program in the school. More than 150 students are engaged in the study and practice of advertising during this time of fundamental change in the industry. A full-time faculty of six supports the students in their studies.

Students learn the principles behind multimedia advertising campaigns and the leading theories behind the marketing and branding of products. The classes are also geared to help students understand and stay current with the enormous changes in the industry brought by the Internet, learning new disciplines related to search marketing and permission marketing that are growing in revenue and influence. To reflect the changes in industry, the advertising and public relations programs merged a number of critical courses to capture the new world of the communications business.

Guest speakers including Susan Credle, chief creative officer of Leo Burnett, and Trip Park, award-winning illustrator and art director, have visited advertising students. Advertising graduates have been hired at agencies including Ogilvy and Crispin and companies including Apple and Unilever.

jomc.unc.edu/blogs Many of the school’s faculty are sharing their expertise and perspective through blogs that cover topics including business news, politics, teaching, editing, service, the open source movement and emerging technology.

Connecting Dean Jean Folkerts keeps students, alumni and professionals up to date on happenings in the school and why it’s important. Her blog also allows her to discuss what she takes in from her travels around the state, U.S. and world.

Talk Politics Authored by Leroy Towns, professor and research fellow in the UNC Program on Public Life, this blog examines the intersection of politics and media. Graduate and undergraduate students are often invited to post, allowing different voices in the school to be heard and giving students a chance to write for new media.

Chuck Stone’s dream of diversity lives on

School of Journalism and Mass Communication

Chuck Stone, UNC journalism professor emeritus, legendary journalist, editor, author and Tuskegee Airman, no longer walks the halls of Carroll on his way to classes. However, Chuck’s life-long work of encouraging minorities to pursue careers in journalism is still very much alive.

The Chuck Stone Program for Diversity in Education and Media held its third annual workshop from July 19–25, 2009 in the J-school. The workshop, made possible by a grant from the Gannett Foundation and the support from the N.C. Scholastic Media Association, brought together promising high school students interested in journalism.

The number of students applying for the program has increased each year – a result of the growing national awareness of the workshop among high school newspaper advisers. Assistant professor Napoleon Byars is the director of the Chuck Stone Program.

The 2009 workshop class consisted of 12 students from underrepresented populations on major college campuses. As part of the application process,

students wrote essays on diversity and their desire to become communicators.

“Writing is my passion,” wrote one student. “I love it. I love how when you read a feature article and your nose starts to tingle and your eyes water because you are so compelled at what the writer is showing you. That’s why I am so passionate about writing. I want to be a journalist that can make a difference.”

The students were immersed in journalism from the time they arrived on campus until they departed six days later. They assembled a newspaper staff that wrote stories, cutlines and headlines, took pictures and did layout.

Additionally, students chronicled their impressions of the program in a blog.

By the final day of the workshop they had produced volume three of The Mix, the official workshop publication.

In all, 19 stories were assigned, researched, written, proofread and edited by the students.

The Mix included an interview with Stone, student profiles and a story on The Daily Tar Heel campus newspaper.

Students also wrote a dance review and a book review.

Vivian Bonilla Lopez, a student from Puerto Rico, wrote a timely commentary on Judge Sonia Sotomayor’s “wise Latina woman” remark. Lopez’s insightful comments confirmed the learning and solid journalism that took place during the workshop.

Students were taught to conduct research online and check sources, do interviews, write leads and eliminate biased language from news writing. Additionally, they were introduced to AP style and given copy editing drills. They also took the spelling and grammar test that every Carolina J-school student must pass in order to graduate.

The Future of News Assistant professor Ryan Thornburg, an online newsroom veteran, blogs about journalism innovation, leadership, research and editorial product development.

Blue Highways Journal Each summer since 2001, Jock Lauterer, director of the Carolina Community Media Project, has taken his “Community Journalism Roadshow” to small newspapers from Murphy to Manteo. In the Blue Highways Journal, Lauterer documents the project’s work across North Carolina.

Students in the program interned during 2009 at the business desks of newspapers such as The Charlotte Observer, the Sacramento Bee and The St. Petersburg Times, as well as Bloomberg News. In the past year, graduates have accepted reporting positions at Bloomberg and Reuters.

The journalism foundation: The School of Journalism Foundation of North Carolina was incorporated with McPherson as president. The foundation collected money to advance journalism at the school, including student financial aid, chaired professorships and equipment. The foundation continues to fulfill this mission today.

“I never thought that I would learn so much about something I loved. If I could do this again, I would do it in a heartbeat. “ “The experience was amazing,” wrote another student. “I learned so much over this past week, and I can’t wait to apply it.”

Forty-four students have graduated from the program since 2007, and seven are currently students at UNC. Of those that have graduated from high school, all have gone on to attend college. The Chuck Stone Program is making a difference promoting diversity in education and journalism. 

Fortune’s Sloan bullish on careers in business journalism

School of Journalism and Mass Communication

Careers in business journalism will be greater for current college students than those who have been in the field for decades, said Fortune senior editor-atlarge Allan Sloan – one of the country’s top business journalists – in an October 2009 speech.

“You really ought to seriously think of business writing because it’s fun and useful and you can get a job in it,” said Sloan to a group of 42 university students from 11 universities across the country.

Sloan was speaking at a conference called “Getting Started in Business News” held at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism. The event was organized by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Journalism and Mass Communication.

Sloan said that becoming a business journalist was the “third best thing that ever happened to me,” behind his marriage to his wife, Nancy, and the birth of his children.

He noted that the job opportunities in the field are much better than 1969, when he was assigned to the business desk of The Charlotte Observer after working on the sports desk. “It turned out to be endless fun. This was really interesting stuff. On a routine basis, I’m dealing with the most powerful people in Charlotte, and they have to worry about it.”

Adding that business journalism “has gone mainstream,” Sloan said that he can’t believe that his employers for the past four decades have paid him to work as a business reporter.

Despite turmoil in the journalism industry, Sloan said he believed one of the students in the audience Thursday night would find a solution and make money putting journalism online. “I entrust you to do it,” he said.

With six awards, Sloan has won more Gerald Loeb Awards – considered the Pulitzer Prize for business journalism – than anyone else. Before working at Fortune, he worked as a Wall Street columnist for Newsweek magazine. He has also worked for Newsday, Forbes, Money and the Detroit Free Press.

In 2001, Sloan received the Distinguished Achievement Award from the Society of American Business Editors and Writers. 

The past year saw the launch of the College Business Journalism Consortium. The consortium’s goal is to make it easier for college students to find jobs in business journalism – and for business journalism to have a centralized Web site from which to review potential job and internship applicants. Student work can be found at cbjc.jomc.unc.edu.

The quality of the program can be seen in the student business journalism contest held by the Society of American Business Editors and Writers. For the fourth time in the contest’s fiveyear existence, a Carolina journalism student has won the competition. The winners in 2008 were senior Catarina Saraiva in the professional publication category and junior Laura Marcinek for the student publication category. A Carolina student finished second in the one year that a UNC student did not win the contest.

In addition, the program developed a workshop for college students across the country interested in a career in business journalism.

That workshop, held Oct. 22–24 in New York, was funded by a grant from Progress Energy and included interviews for the students with major business media organizations.

This past year saw an international touch, with a business journalism professor from the University of Navarra visiting for two weeks to teach the classes in the program. This exchange will continue in 2010.

Also, the program will unveil a business journalism stylebook to the U.S. business journalism community in 2010.

Career Services In the teeth of the Great Recession, students and new graduates persevered and many succeeded in landing tough-to-get internships and entry-level jobs. Coaching graduating seniors on strategies to gain full-time jobs and working with all students on securing internships that give vital real-world experience are two of the major functions of the school’s career services office.

Career services also works with alumni seeking new jobs and helps both alumni and students with resume and cover letter critiques.

Networking with school alumni is also a major focus of the career services office.

Newspapers, newswires, public relations and advertising agencies continued to conduct on-campus interviews for both summer internships and full-time positions, though the number of such recruiting visits is lower due to economic constraints.

Among those interviewing were Bloomberg; the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette; The St. Petersburg Times; American City Business Journals; The (Greensboro, N.C.) News & Record; The Charlotte Observer; Exxon Mobil; The Detroit News; August Jackson; MLB.com and Ogilvy.

Students landed internships with a range of employers that include McKinney advertising; Capstrat marketing communications; MTV News; Fox Business Channel; Bloomberg; NBC News; Nordstrom’s; the Philadelphia 76ers; O Magazine; Conde Nast; The (Charleston, S.C.) Post & Courier; the Gaston Gazette; The Chapel Hill News and Ogilvy.

In July 2008, the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation selected the UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication to join 10 other top journalism schools for an initiative to adapt journalism education to the challenges of a struggling news industry.

The department becomes a school: On Sept. 1, 1950, the department became the School of Journalism with Coffin as dean. Journalism faculty members were not sold on the idea and Coffin was indifferent to being a dean.

The Carnegie-Knight Initiative on the Future of Journalism Education encourages experimental journalism projects, curriculum enhancement and collaboration with other academic disciplines and institutions. The journalism school is building international partnerships, providing students with global perspectives on journalism.

The school hosted a meeting Oct. 4–5, 2009, of deans from journalism programs participating in the initiative. The semiannual meetings of the deans are meant to develop a vision of what a journalism school can be at a higher learning institution. The meeting hosted by continued on page 50

During spring and summer 2009, 10 Carolina journalism students and two faculty members led the News21 experimental reporting project Powering a Nation, which explores U.S. energy use and its relationship to the country’s demographics. News21 – short for News for the 21st Century: Incubators of New Ideas – allows schools to undertake national reporting projects that seek to change the media landscape with innovative approaches to creating and distributing news while deepening the intellectual life at journalism schools and creating a stronger voice for them in the news industry.

With an initial $250,000 grant to Carolina, the UNC Office of the Chancellor has agreed to match the Carnegie and Knight grants, pledging support for the third and final year of the initiative.

The Carnegie-Knight Initiative was launched in 2005 with the Carnegie Corp. of New York president Vartan Gregorian’s vision of building globally-minded programs at exemplary journalism schools – a goal shared by the Knight Foundation. The effort encourages experimentation within journalism education and

the integration of other programs within the university community. In addition to Carolina, multi-year grants were awarded to: Arizona State University Columbia University Northwestern University Syracuse University University of California at Berkeley University of Maryland University of Missouri University of Nebraska, Lincoln University of Southern California University of Texas at Austin The Joan Shorenstein Center for Press, Politics and Public Policy, a research center at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, also is supported by the initiative.

The Carnegie Corporation of New York was created by Carnegie Steel Company owner Andrew Carnegie in 1911 to promote the advancement and diffusion of knowledge and understanding. For more than 95 years, the grant-making corporation has carried out Carnegie’s vision of philanthropy by building on his two major concerns: international peace and advancing education and knowledge.

Since 1950, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation has promoted journalism excellence worldwide and invested in the vitality of the U.S. communities where the Knight brothers owned newspapers. The Knight Foundation focuses on ideas and projects that create transformational change.

Carolina Community Media Project Since 2001, the Carolina Community Media Project, led by founding director Jock Lauterer, has focused on building strong communities across the state by strengthening local newspapers and their Web sites.

Last year, Lauterer visited eight more N.C. community papers with free, on-site journalism workshops, bringing the total of the annual “Johnny Appleseed Summer Community Journalism Roadshow” to 138 papers, literally from Murphy to Manteo.

In addition the Community Media Project: • Entered the fourth year of producing the Carrboro Commons, a twice-monthly Web-based newspaper for Carrboro created by community journalism students. This collaborative experiential learning project involves students producing copy and photos that are edited by assistant professor Andy Bechtel’s advanced editing class and assistant professor Ryan Thornburg’s online newswriting and editing class.

• Mentored the Carrboro High School journalism class in a journalism “Big Buddies”-style program, now in its third year to help with the school newspaper, the Jagwire. The project also brought together the Jagwire and the Carrboro Citizen newspaper, the latter of which now provides a free school news page to Carrboro High School.

• Helped create, plan, administer and teach at the eighth annual North Carolina Newspaper Academy, a daylong, mid-career workshop hosted each spring by the school and co-sponsored by the N.C. Press Association • Administered the Peggy Allen Community Scholarship, created five years ago to fund a summer internship for an outstanding UNC community journalism student at one of the state’s finer community papers.

The state-of-the-art studio allows for live and pre-recorded interviews utilizing high-definition cameras. An adjacent control room handles technical operations for interviews in the studio.

Since opening in 2008, the studio has enabled the University and school to extend its educational mission beyond the classroom by reaching millions of people at once. Faculty experts are positioning the school at the center of public debate about important issues, which have included the presidential primaries, the general election and the future of newspapers.

Faculty and students also use the studio to participate in video conferences with other universities and organizations.

Luxon becomes dean: In April, Coffin resigned for health reasons. By August, the search for a new dean narrows to Walter Spearman and Norval Neil Luxon, who had a Ph.D. from UCLA and was an assistant to the president of Ohio State University. McPherson again raised the threat of supporting a Duke program if the University did not hire Luxon.

Luxon became dean on Dec. 1.

In 2009, the center appointed a 15-person advisory board composed of N.C. media attorneys, media professionals and scholars. The board met in January 2009 to help draft a mission statement for the center and to plan programs. In the spring, the deans of the schools of journalism and law appointed professor Cathy Packer to serve as the center’s first faculty director. Packer teaches media law in the journalism school.

The center’s programs included an all-day, campus-wide First Amendment Day celebration on Oct. 1, 2009. Funded with a grant from the Liberty Tree Initiative and planned with help from the Campus Y, First Amendment Day included formal and informal events to encourage students both to celebrate their First Amendment rights and to think seriously about the role the First Amendment plays in their lives at Carolina.

The center also brought several nationally prominent media law experts to campus, including James Boyle, the William Neal Reynolds Professor of Law at Duke Law School and cofounder of the Center for the Study of the Public Domain, and Miriam Nisbet, President Obama’s Freedom of Information Act ombudsman.

Curriculum (see spread on pages 54–55)

The school launched in fall 2009 a curriculum that sets a new course for journalism and mass communication education. Taking into account changes in the industry, the curriculum emphasizes a wider variety of channels to communicate.

The new curriculum is the product of intensive research and discussion with students, faculty, alumni, academic peers and professionals working in the journalism and communication industries.

The five “sequences”– news-editorial, public relations, advertising, electronic communication and visual communication – have been collapsed into two tracks that will prepare students for careers in journalism or strategic communication.

WHAT

The journalism track is designed for students who wish to become journalists, that is, who want to broadcast, report, write, photograph and present news and information to better inform society.

52 School of Journalism and Mass Communication

The strategic communication track is for students who wish to communicate on behalf of organizations, including corporations, government agencies, nonprofit and advocacy groups, and public relations and advertising agencies.

The school’s core courses – News Writing, Professional Problems and Ethics, and Introduction to Mass Communication Law – remain the same. Students need to master the core principles of journalism education while developing the skills and perspectives to communicate across various media platforms.

The UNC Center for Media Law and Policy sponsored First Amendment Day at Carolina, which included the planting of the UNC Liberty Tree.

All students must be able to conceptualize and produce quality news and information. And they must understand the role of media in society and its social, economic and political impact locally, nationally and globally.

The school is holding true to the core principles of journalism education while preparing students to succeed in today’s – and tomorrow’s – changing media environment.

Distance Education Throughout 2009, the school crafted a proposal to offer a full master’s degree online. If approved, the Master of Arts in Technology and Communication (MATC) will offer a rigorous and in-depth study of the evolving communication field and the technological developments that drive it. The curriculum will focus on digital media concepts and skills. The degree will be aimed at working professionals, including school alumni, who want to continue their educations but need the flexibility a distance learning format provides. Proposed courses include: • New Media and Society • Research Methods and Applications • Media Law for the Digital Age • Visual Communication and Information Architecture • Usability and Web Design • Writing for Digital Media • Database and Web Research: Strategies for Finding Information Online • Leadership in Digital Media Economics

For more information about the MATC program, please visit jomc.unc.edu/onlinemasters.

Electronic Communication The past year has been another successful one for the school’s electronic communication students and faculty.

“Carolina Week” took top honors in the National Broadcasting Society competition, along with three other editions of the newscast taking national finalist honors. The radio program “Carolina Connection” was also recognized as best in the country by NBS. Three students were individual national winners, and the program accounted for 10 other national finalist nods in various categories. Collectively, the TV program, the radio program and individual students have accounted for more than 70 awards in the past year and more than 400 regional and national awards since 2000, the year the TV newscast began. The radio program became part of the school’s efforts in continued on page 56

The MATC builds on the success of the online Certificate in Technology and Communication, a unique, graduate-level program that offered its first courses in spring 2003. The certificate will continue to be offered and will be made up of three courses – “Writing for Digital Media,” “Usability and Web Design” and “Database and Web Research.”

The school placed third in the Hearst Intercollegiate Broadcast News Championship.

That marks the seventh year in a row the school has been in the top three. Carly Swain placed first in the Society of Professional Journalists general news reporting competition, and the radio program “Carolina Connection” was a national finalist in that category. Jason Kahn was a national finalist for TV sports reporting and TV sports photography; Jennifer Carpenter was a national finalist in the TV news videography category. Carpenter also landed a prestigious fellowship with the Fulbright Foundation and will spend a year in Albania documenting social changes among Albanian youth.

The Northeast Central Durham VOICE

School of Journalism and Mass Communication

56

The Carolina Community Media Project spearheaded an urban youth journalism project in inner-city Durham with the launch of the Northeast Central Durham Community VOICE that debuted as a Web-exclusive bi-weekly in September 2009 at durhamvoice.org.

Carolina Community Media Project director Jock Lauterer partnered with the journalism program at N.C. Central University, the city of Durham, several local NGOs, neighborhood civic, school and church leaders, and the UNC Department of City and Regional Planning to bring to the table many disparate “voices” from Jock Lauterer Durham to form once VOICE. The project recruited the VOICE’s urban youth staff during the spring and summer of 2009 primarily through a series of free, on-site photography lessons taught at three separate local venues in Northeast Central Durham: the Salvation Army Boys’ and Girls’ Club, Seesaw Studio and the Durham Inner-City Garden.

The goals of the VOICE are far-reaching.

Not only to produce a neighborhood community newspaper/Web site staffed by local urban youth to provide neighborhood news, information and features specifically for and about residents of VOICE staffers

(but not limited to) the 300-block area of Northeast Central Durham, but also: • to provide a timely source of information and a venue for localized discussion to promote civic engagement and positive community identity for the neighborhood known as “the Bull’s Eye” to the Durham Police Department and Durham community development advocates

Other students in the program completed internships with organizations and newspapers that include McKinney advertising, China Internet Information Center, the Chapel Hill News and the Carolina Alumni Review, among others.

In fall 2009, assistant professor Barbara Friedman became the master’s program adviser, replacing associate professor Lois Boynton.

from across the U.S., international students from Australia and Uzbekistan were part of this year’s incoming class. The 13th class of Roy H. Park Fellows entered the school in fall 2009. The Triad Foundation generously funds the Park Fellowships, given to eight entering doctoral students and 14 entering master’s students each year.

Other graduate students receive funding from various scholarships and fellowships that include the Peter DeWitt Pruden Jr. and Phyllis Harrill Stancill Pruden Fellowship, the Graduate Dean’s Research Assistantship, and the Richard Cole Eminent Professor graduate assistantship.

1958 J-school wins accreditation: The school was accredited by the American Council on Education for Journalism (ACEJ).

Luxon’s leadership was commended, and the school was lauded for its standing within the University, its relationship with state newspapers and high student morale.

The graduate program welcomed 35 new students in fall 2009. In addition to students

• to provide urban youth with leadership, problem-solving and interpersonal skills as well as the self-confidence to address issues in their community and to see how they relate to the broader city, nation and world.

J-school student Taylor Meadows (right) teaches Levelle Muhammad photography at the Durham Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club.

Additionally, students from both NCCU and UNC are mentoring the young staff of the VOICE. By providing these youth with college-aged mentors, the VOICE aims to serve as a living classroom, a positive and productive vehicle for personal change, a bridge to higher education, and a real step toward career building. Additionally, by giving this community a home-grown local newspaper and Web site, the VOICE will provide a timely source of information unavailable anywhere else from a single source, thus promoting local pride, a sense of positive identity, and ultimately community-building and civic engagement.

To support this initiative, the project secured a $25,000 grant from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation enabling the purchase of computers, cameras and other newsroom equipment. In addition, the Ron Paris Fund, created last year to honor the long-time Rutherford County community newspaper editor and publisher, supported the summer photo lessons and exhibits.

Enabled by a pledge of free printing from The Daily Tar Heel, the VOICE added a monthly print version in spring 2010. The 24-page tabloid format newspaper is distributed free at local schools, churches and neighborhood businesses. 

Carroll 268 is now a classroom equipped with 18 PCs (plus an instructor station) and is used for teaching research methods in advertising and public relations. The computer stations ring the perimeter of the room with a large table in the center for discussions and group work. Four 52" high-definition TVs were installed to display instructor presentations.

Thanks to a grant from the SAS Institute, the school has access to SAS Text Miner, a state-ofthe-art text analysis tool.

Carroll 340A, formerly home to several offices and a small workroom, was transformed into a 15-seat classroom with a Mac Mini and two 52" TVs for display.

Carroll 21 was transformed from a student computer lab to a high-tech classroom with software enabling instructors to monitor, interact and assist with students’ work “live” on the computers in the classroom.

The information technology staff created a new, mobile, highly-flexible videoconference station that was used in classes throughout Carroll Hall. The school is preparing for a centrally supported Web conferencing tool, which will enhance opportunities for classroom instruction and will add an important synchronous component to distance learning.

Work continued on the building of infrastructure for high-definition video editing. Fiber optic cable was pulled throughout the building and an Apple Xsan with ~30TB of storage was brought on line in July. The infrastructure is in place to allow HD video editing throughout the school. In addition, the Carolina Week studio and its equipment have been converted to HD.

Interdisciplinary Health Communication The Interdisciplinary Health Communication (IHC) program fosters a unique collaboration among students, faculty and the community. For example, faculty and students from the UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication and the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, partnered with four county health directors to design and implement a campaign to encourage uptake of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine that prevents most cervical cancers. Funded by the state, the campaign targeted mothers of 11–12 year old girls with the slogans: “Help protect your daughter from cervical cancer. Vaccinate today. Protect her tomorrow.” and “You have hopes and dreams for her future and they don’t include cervical cancer.” The campaign ran in both English and Spanish from June through August 2009.

Other IHC highlights for the year: • Four graduate students earned the Graduate Certificate in Interdisciplinary Health Communication. Amy Shirong Lu earned a doctoral degree and Courtney Woo a master’s degree in mass communication; Miriam Hartmann earned a master’s in public health from the Department of Maternal and Child Health, and Megan Van Noord earned a master’s degree from the School of Information and Library Science. continued on page 62

Energy makes America go.

Where that energy comes from and the ways in which it is produced don’t appear on many Americans’ radar.

During spring and summer 2009, ten Carolina journalism students and two faculty members led “Powering a Nation,” an experimental reporting endeavor seeking the truth about energy in the U.S. and its relationship to the country’s demographics.

said “Powering a Nation” editor-in-chief and 2009 master’s graduate Sara Peach. “It was exhilarating.”

And in keeping with the experimental nature of the project, many students were able to venture into new territories.

“The project stretched my skills quite a bit,” Peach said. “I came into Carolina’s program as a writer and then took a couple of multimedia classes, but it wasn’t until this past summer that I really started to feel like my multimedia skills were on par with the writing.”

Peach said the contacts she made through News21 have led to freelance work that includes both writing and multimedia.

Powering a Nation explores wind farms, the electrical grid, mountaintop removal, coal activists, religious response and biofuels, among other topics.

The project has been recognized for excellence by the National Press Photographers Association.

M.A./J.D. Graduate Dual Degree Program in Mass Communication Law The school’s graduate-level dual degree program in mass communication law continues to thrive and currently has five students who are working toward completing the program and earning both their master’s and law (juris doctorate) degrees.

Four of these students are completing the law school component of the program at the UNC law school and one is a law student at Duke University.

The program is designed to allow dual degree students to complete the requirements for both degrees in approximately four years as opposed to the five years it would take to complete both degrees separately. The program works by allowing dual degree students to count some of their graduate journalism coursework toward their law degree and some of their law coursework toward their master’s degree.

This past summer, current dual degree students successfully landed summer positions including clerkships at the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and at one of the nation’s

most prestigious media law firms. In addition, current students continue to land important fellowships and scholarships including the Roy H. Park Fellowship awarded by the school and the Beverly Cooper Moore Scholarship awarded by the UNC Graduate School. The dual degree program considers applicants for admission each fall, and admissions decisions thus far have been highly selective. School faculty member Michael Hoefges and law school faculty member Deborah Gerhardt are serving as co-coordinators for the dual degree program.

Medical and Science Journalism Program Two years in the making, a documentary entitled “Environmental Heroes” aired on July 4, 2009, on “North Carolina Visions,” a film festival on North Carolina Public Television. The documentary profiled three North Carolinians who made extraordinary efforts to protect the natural environment.

Kathryn Barr, Jiang Li, Joseph Marra, Kevin Mckenna, Emily Waters and Sarah Whitmarsh; and scriptwriters Kelly Chi, Julia Connors and Maggie De Pano. Zachary Ferriola-Bruckenstein created the animation sequences.

Linden and his research assistant Audrey Hill completed research on a book, “The New York Times Reader: Health and Medicine,” that will be published by CQ Press in 2010. The book includes more than 50 health and medical stories from The New York Times with extensive commentary by Linden. The book is part of a series from CQ Press that covers various specialty journalism beats, including arts and culture, sports, business and science.

In 2009, master’s student Prashant Nair graduated from the program and joined the National Academy of Sciences as a member of the editorial staff. In fall 2009 two new master’s students entered the program to join two second-year students who will graduate in May 2010.

the topics including ethics and corporate social responsibility; innovation and entrepreneurship; business-government relations (local, state, national and international); environmental performance, executive leadership and employee relations; and corporate litigation.

Students wrote an industry report for state lawmakers dealing with news coverage of 30 leading North Carolina companies receiving prominent news coverage during the first three months of the economic decline.

Students were involved in ground-breaking research in literature reviews and article summaries, media monitoring, compiling corporate public health records (assessing the “health” of companies using publicly-available information), data visualization and manipulation, and writing case studies about N.C. companies operating at home and abroad. The research focused on various corporate reputation themes.

OCR students interned at APCO Worldwide (New York City), Capstrat (Raleigh, N.C.), KDPaine & Partners (Berlin, N.H.), Competitive Insights (Chicago), World Economic Forum (Davos, Switzerland), Country Music Hall of Fame (Nashville, Tenn.), Arrow Communications (Brussels, Belgium), SAS Institute (Cary, N.C.) and Lenovo/Fleishman Hilliard (Raleigh/New York City).

Students heard research presentations from doctoral students, faculty and visiting scholars from Finland, Spain and The Netherlands on various aspects of research methodology. The inaugural campus-wide OCR Public Lecture Series featured Kirk Stewart, executive vice president from APCO Worldwide in New York City.

The OCR received more than $675,000 in corporate gifts and corporate gifts-in-kind to support the launch of its research program during the 2008–09 academic year. Donors and sponsors included Lenovo, CustomScoop, KDPaine & Partners and TV Eyes.

Fall break wasn’t the norm for 16 UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication seniors who traded three days of rest and relaxation for a deep dive into brand strategy.

“StratShop,” the first-ever strategy workshop for undergraduates was held at the McKinney agency Oct. 21–23.

“While our primary intention is to further deepen our collaborative relationship with the UNC J-school, we admit to some personal interest as well,” said McKinney partner and director of account planning Jeremy Holden. “It’s also

a chance to build early relationships with some of the best talent from the country’s premier journalism and mass communication school.

These kids will be offered truly unique experiences: immersion into how we create brand conversations and a chance to apply the tools and practices they’ve learned with real world strategic assignments.”

“McKinney is perhaps the only agency in the nation that has formalized the tri-disciplines of account planning, connection planning and interactive strategy into one strategic offering and integrated it into their brand teams,” said UNC advertising professor John Sweeney. “Our students get an unprecedented experience they would normally have to wait to get in a graduate-level program. Thanks to StratShop, they get an opportunity to supplement their day-to-day studies with real exposure to leadingedge best practices.”

Under the theme “Building a Brand Conversation,”

gatherings brought together lawmakers with UNC faculty researching such topics as middle-school curriculum and water resources.

the workshop was led by McKinney’s awardwinning strategy team and structured into a series of key segments that introduce students to the function and practices of McKinney’s related strategy disciplines. McKinney chief strategy officer Andrew Delbridge led “Conversation Planning: How to Create a Conversation Beyond the Traditional Ad Campaign”; Doug Holroyd, director of connection planning, presented “Connection Planning: Conversation Development Tools and Practices”; and director of interactive strategy Jim Russell offered “Interactive Strategy,” which included online consumer monitoring, site mapping, and development and social media planning. “All segments presented case studies with practical exercises designed to get the students thinking way beyond ads and more about how to reinvent the conversation between brands and consumers,” Holden said.

The workshop ended with the students divided into teams tackling real-world strategic problems assigned by McKinney’s strategy team. “We’re hoping they’ll be brand conversationalists for life,” Holden said. “And perhaps they’ll make their way to McKinney.” 

The public relations and advertising programs worked in tandem in 2008–09 to develop crossover courses for the new curriculum launched in fall 2009. Assistant professors Napoleon Byars and Janas Sinclair worked together to develop “JOMC 137 Principles of Advertising and Public Relations” for the new curriculum – a joint advertising/public relations introductory class offered for the first time in fall 2009. The advertising/public relations research methods class ( JOMC 279) was overhauled and expanded to accommodate 40 students per section. It is now one of the courses required of all PR and ad students.

Associate professor Lois Boynton developed and taught “JOMC 732 Public Relations Writing” for master’s students focusing on strategic communication, and Byars developed and taught a new public information strategies class. Campaigns course instructors helped develop a client assessment survey piloted in fall 2009 to help address the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications assessment requirements.

Students in public relations classes developed communication tools and campaign plans for a variety of clients including the Minor League Baseball Association, 100th anniversary of the first journalism class at UNC, ARC of Orange County, USO of North Carolina, Carolina Navigators, Campus Y, N.C. Health Careers Access Program, Special Olympics, UNC Beacon Child and Family Program, among others.

They gained internships and full-time jobs at locations including the White House Press Office, Children’s Defense Fund, NPR, NFL, china.com, Lowe’s, Make-A-Wish Foundation, UNC Healthcare communication office, Rock Against Cancer, Girls on the Run, Boom! magazine, Carnivore Preservation Trust, Blue Cross Blue Shield of N.C., Duke Energy, U.S. Olympic Committee, UNC Sports Communication Department, Department of Defense, UNC Department of Family Medicine,

Gruppo Perdisa Editore in Italy, Bennett College, among many others.

Reporting The new reporting curriculum now requires students to take three reporting courses in addition to the basic reporting class. And the basic reporting course, JOMC 253, has been dramatically changed, with the students working more closely with the instructors in a newsroom situation. Students work out of a newsroom on Franklin Street and print their stories on deadline in class.

In addition, student reporters in all classes submit stories to the Carolina Journalism Network or assistant professor Ryan Thornburg’s Newsdesk class for publication on the network’s Web site.

While the advanced editing class is now part of the editing and graphic design curriculum, all reporting students must take the basic editing course, which features an increased emphasis on online skills, including writing searchengine-optimized headlines and preparing online slideshows.

In the classroom, guest speakers, including both seasoned professionals and recent graduates, continue to enrich the students’ education. Last year students met with media professionals from Cosmopolitan, Teen Vogue, the Washingtonian and Sports Illustrated magazines, along with the recruiting editor from The Detroit News and the head of the Newslab project.

Graduates accepted jobs and internships at a variety of print and online outlets, including the Bloomberg News Service, the Danville (Va.) Register & Bee, the Sun News of Myrtle Beach, S.C., The Greensboro News & Record, Politico.com and Cosmopolitan magazine.

Visual Communication The school’s visual communication programs in graphic design, multimedia and photojournalism continue to grow and expand as we meet and exceed expectations of current students, alumni and the media organizations hiring our graduates.

This year the school welcomed accomplished multimedia photojournalist Chad Stevens to its faculty. Stevens completed his graduate work at Ohio University and worked as a multimedia producer at MediaStorm. His awards include a 2009 Webby Award, and a nomination for an Emmy in 2009.

Visual Communication faculty have been engaged in a number of multimedia, documentary and research projects. “Living Galapagos” (livinggalapagos.org), which launched in fall 2009, is the first in-depth multimedia project on the Web to examine the impact of man in the islands. Projects about economic hardship in North Carolina and a joint project with the Kenan-Flagler Business School also were created under the auspices of visual communication faculty. In addition, visual communication faculty members led the school’s top students and a number of faculty members from other areas in the school to create the award-winning News 21 project, “Powering a Nation” (poweringanation.org) during the spring and summer of 2009. The project, which focuses on U.S. energy consumption, will continue to grow and be added to through summer 2010.

Faculty and student eyetracking research in Web design has garnered the interest, attention and financial support of news organizations such as NewYorkTimes.com, Yahoo! News, WashingtonPost.com and Time magazine online.

Students’ work continues to place in the most prestigious competitions – from the National Press Photographers Association, to the Online News Association, to the Society for News Design’s Best of Multimedia Design competition.

The New York Times, MSNBC, USA Today, National Geographic and The Washington Post are among the many national groups inviting our students to join their staffs. In addition, local media groups and production companies such as such as The Dallas Morning News and the Smithsonian Institute have hired numerous visual communication students as full-time staff or interns.

The visual communication program’s success is due in large part to our multimedia, infographics and documentary photojournalism emphases. Faculty dedication to the students has been continued on page 83

RESEARC H Faculty and students in the school are active in research and scholarship, often collaborating with one another and with colleagues from other disciplines to explore a wide range of questions related to media and communication today.

Assistant professor Francesca Dillman Carpentier is studying how broadcast journalists and news organizations can more effectively engage audience members and interest viewers in more general news. With so much news and information available today, it can be difficult for broadcasters to motivate people to watch news beyond their own personal interests. Carpentier has found that viewers have an increased interest in and recall of information if they know that the information will be seen by others and lead to future conversations. These findings suggest that news organizations’ promotions or teases that push the idea that others are familiar with the story will encourage viewers to watch a story in hopes of discussing it with their peers. The use of social media such as Twitter could supplement peer interaction by supplying information on how watching a story will be socially beneficial for viewers.

MEDIA LAW AND POLICY Associate professor Michael Hoefges’ research interests include First Amendment commercial and corporate speech issues, freedom of information, commercial access to government records and databases, privacy law for advertisers and marketers, class action notice plans, and advertising and marketing regulation for various products and services including alcohol and tobacco products, gambling, licensed professional services, and regulated drugs and medical devices.

proposed federal shield law. If passed, the law would give journalists a limited right to refuse to reveal confidential sources. Two-thirds of states have enacted shield laws, but no similar protection exists in the federal courts.

Packer analyzed the 2005–08 Congressional debate of a federal shield, and her research was published in the Hastings Communications and Entertainment Law Journal. Packer’s research finds that much of the testimony at the Congressional hearings has focused on issues of how power should be distributed among the branches of government and the media. Also, members of Congress and others who testified at the hearings appeared to disagree about the context of the power arrangements. To the Justice Department and other shield law opponents, the post-9/11 terrorist threat was the most important contextual consideration. The media and other shield law supporters instead focused primarily on the current uncertainty in reporter’s privilege law, the numbers of journalists incarcerated for refusing to comply with federal subpoenas, and the resulting chilling effect on the media.

More than forty years after Kenan Professor Donald Shaw and colleague Maxwell McCombs (now at UT-Austin) conducted the first modern agenda-setting study in Chapel Hill, Shaw is leading the development of a new theory of ‘agenda melding.’ This current study examines the power of the media to shape voters’ views about presidential candidates and issues during the 2008 presidential campaign. It is modeled on the original agenda-setting study that examined the role of the press in the setting of political agendas of voters in the 1968 presidential election. The research looks at how media’s role in the agenda-setting process has changed with the proliferation of news sources, such as cable news and entertainment channels, news Web sites, social networking sites and blogs. Shaw is finding that people are blending media agendas to reinforce their beliefs and avoid other points of view. The agendamelding theory seeks to better describe how audiences are drawing together information from this variety of media agendas to create their own picture of reality.

Since the mid 1960s, the school has graduated undergraduates with honors. To graduate with honors from the school, a student must earn a 3.5 overall GPA and write a thesis based on original research. To graduate with highest honors a student must earn a 3.7 overall GPA and write an outstanding thesis.

In the past year, 10 students met those high standards. During their senior year, each designed and conducted a research project that resulted in a 50-80 page thesis that is now bound and stored in both the school’s Park Library and the University’s North Carolina Collection in Wilson Library.

The students conducted content analyses, experiments, surveys, historical and legal analysis, and even an online focus group with adolescent girls. They studied a wide variety of topics including whether green magazine issues attract newsstand sales; whether war reporters should be treated for Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome; if Chinese newspapers covered the Beijing Olympics more positively than The New York Times; and if blogs are the future of political news.

WHAT

Workroom is a new creative advertising incubator for students interested in art direction and design-focused communications.

The project combines two distinctive, but equal, parts: a professional seminar series and a portfolio development workshop. The series begins with the introduction of a project for a national client. During the course of the year, Workroom students design a product line for the client and develop the advertising materials to promote their line. Industry professionals guide students through the design process by providing inspiration and insight during monthly work sessions. The 2009–10 Workroom client is Vietri, an award-winning Italian tableware and home products company.

Students are tasked with developing a new category of products for Vietri, while staying true to the strong brand identity and heritage of the company’s collections.

Through 125 photographs, newspapers, letters, books, artifacts and drawings, “Consecrated to the Common Good: 100 Years of Journalism Education at UNC-Chapel Hill” documented the people, places and events that have shaped the past century of Carolina journalism education. The exhibit was on display in the N.C. Collection Gallery in Wilson Library from Sept. 9, 2009, through Jan. 31, 2010.

Tom Bowers, professor emeritus and author of “Making News: One Hundred

Featured items in the exhibit included the 1909 course handbook announcing Edward Kidder Graham’s offering of English 16, the first journalism course at Carolina, and another course catalog from 1924 indicating the establishment of the Journalism Department. Each of the deans from the school’s founding in 1950 through the present – from Oscar “Skipper” Coffin to Jean Folkerts – were featured in photographs.

When failing health forced “Skipper” Coffin to resign from the faculty of the UNC School of Journalism in 1956, he told Chancellor Robert House that he and his colleagues had been “consecrated to the common good.” As he often did, Coffin here used a lofty phrase to emphasize that the school had been dedicated to

responding to the needs of newspapers and the state. Professor emeritus Tom Bowers conducted dozens of interviews and pored over a century of newspaper accounts, correspondence and University archives to tell the story of how such a commitment has enlightened and shaped journalism education at UNC for 100 years.

In “Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina,” Bowers reveals how a succession of leaders and teachers dedicated themselves to students, the University, the state and beyond – to the common good.

Edward Kidder Graham, the first journalism teacher and later the University’s president, committed the University to helping the people of North Carolina. He said the boundaries of the campus extended to the boundaries of the state.

minorities. To Richard Cole, it meant new and expanded facilities to enable the school to be responsive to fast-changing media and prepare students for globalization, while adhering to traditional ideals. As Jean Folkerts leads the school into the second century of journalism education at Carolina, journalism education continues to adapt while remaining consecrated to the common good.

The story is accentuated with accounts of a dean who inspired a character in a novel, a beloved faculty member who was the basis for a newspaper comic-strip character, another who was unwittingly part of the quiz-show scandals of the 1950s, and one who was ridiculed for predicting that computers would change newspapers. Bowers also uncovers the influence of an alumnus who changed the school and threatened to ask Duke University to start a journalism school if UNC did not follow his wishes.

“Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina” is available through UNC Press. A gift from alumnus Horace Carter funded the publishing of the book. 

work together to solve the “great problems of the people in both prosperous and stunted communities.”

To Coffin, the journalism school’s first dean, and his colleagues, dedication to the common good meant training reporters, editors and advertising personnel for the state’s newspapers. Bowers’ narrative shows that Coffin engendered loyalty and alumni support that has made the difference between an excellent school and one that, according to the most recent accreditation report, has “earned a reputation as one of the premier programs in journalism and mass communication.”

For Coffin’s successor, Neil Luxon, serving the common good meant an academic focus on educating future journalists for a complex world and a graduate program to prepare teachers and researchers to improve journalism.

Bowers describes how deans Wayne Danielson and Jack Adams took consecration to the common good to mean greater academic respectability, expansion to newer media and inclusiveness of women and racial

WWW2010: International World Wide Web conference

WHEN

Carolina is partnering with N.C. State University to host WWW2010, the 19th International World Wide Web conference, April 26–30, 2010, at the Raleigh Convention Center in Raleigh, N.C. Paul Jones, director of ibiblio and clinical associate professor at the J-school and the UNC School of Information and Library Science, co-chairs the conference along with Michael Rappa, founder and director of the Institute for Advanced Analytics at North Carolina State University.

The conference attracts researchers from around the world with original and pioneering research related to the Web. It is a premier global forum for productive debate about the evolution of the Web, the standardization of its associated technologies, and the impact of those technologies on society and culture.

Since its inception in 1994, the WWW Conference series has

evolved into the longest-standing annual meeting on the topic of the future direction of the World Wide Web, bringing together researchers, developers, users and commercial ventures.

“The WWW Conferences have always been the place where ground-breaking advances in the technologies that advance the Web have been presented and announced,” said Jones. “The research paper that introduced Google was first presented at the 1998 WWW Conference and is one that changed the way we all use search for example. We expect that strong multi-disciplinary and impactful tradition to continue at the 19th WWW Conference.”

Some of the confirmed speakers for the conference are Vint Cerf, vice president and Chief Internet Evangelist for Google, and Danah Boyd, noted researcher on teenagers’ use of social networks.

Carroll Hall The school is housed in Carroll Hall, located off the historic Polk Place quad near the center of the University of North Carolina’s campus.

The school continues to invest in facilities improvements to provide the space and equipment needed to train the leaders of the next generation of journalists and media professionals.

Carroll Hall features state-of-the-art classrooms, labs and facilities for media production.

The school is also home to the Roy H. Park Library, the Charles Kuralt Learning Center and the N.C. Halls of Fame in Journalism, Advertising and Public Relations.

The Pulitzer Prize won by alumnus Horace Carter and his Tabor City Tribune in 1953 for meritorious public service after the newspaper’s campaign against the Ku Klux Klan is displayed in Carroll Hall just outside of the Halls of Fame.

WHERE

The school is transforming room 11 on its ground floor into a 24-hour newsroom where students will work with faculty to produce and distribute news for a variety of audiences. The newsroom and its publications also will function as a research center to study audiences and communities that form around the news. The newsroom and a refitted adjacent computer facility create a hub equipped for students in every specialization taught in the school – reporting, editing and design, broadcasting, photojournalism, multimedia, advertising and public relations.

The N.C. Halls of Fame room on the first floor is being renovated to better showcase its members.

Six large wooden panels that display photos of Hall of Famers are being removed and replaced with new screen displays. New furniture is being added to allow for a variety of seating arrangements and make the room more useful for students, faculty and special events.

The first exhibit –“On the Edge: Homeless and Working Among Us”– is a photography project by alumna Susan Sidebottom that runs through the spring 2010 semester. The school also has begun

displaying student and faculty research posters on the second floor outside of the Park Library.

The school acquired space adjacent to campus on Franklin Street that serves as a classroom and newsroom for reporting students.

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill serves as an educational and economic beacon for the people of North Carolina and beyond.

Carolina’s 729-acre central campus is among the most beautiful in the nation. Chartered in 1789, Carolina was the first state university to open its doors when Hinton James became the University’s first student in 1795. It is the only public university in the nation that awarded degrees to students in the 18th century.

Chapel Hill is a college town of more than 52,000 residents in the center of the state. Its main avenue, Franklin Street, borders campus and features shops, restaurants, movie theaters and houses of worship. In town are historic districts, a museum, a library, parks, malls, hiking and biking trails, and many recreational facilities. Chapel Hill and the cities of Durham and Raleigh form the boundary of the Research Triangle.

U.S. News & World Report’s 2010 “America’s Best Colleges” edition ranked Carolina the fifth best public university for the ninth consecutive year.

Carolina’s 273,684 alumni live in all 50 states and 152 countries. More than 147,800 of those alumni live in nearly all 100 North Carolina counties.

I think people are following it because they find it an interesting situation and possibly relate to it. These types of things can happen to everyday people.”

Many serve as guest speakers in classes and work with professors.

In October 2009, the school hosted a group of English-speaking Europeans as part of the U.S. State Department’s Edward R. Murrow Program for Journalists. The journalists’ visit marked the school’s fourth consecutive year participating in the program. The group spent a full day visiting media organizations in the Triangle, including The News & Observer, WRAL-TV, WUNC and the N.C. Press Association. They also spent two days on campus participating in roundtable and panel discussions, listening to lectures, visiting The Daily Tar Heel and getting a taste of student life at UNC.

Sciences Po – Paris, France In the Undergraduate Journalism Program for International Students at Sciences Po, students participate in workshops with professional journalists that focus on basic techniques of reporting and writing, as well as French culture and society. Students also attend lectures with Sciences Po faculty that give historical

background, conceptual tools and critical perspectives related to contemporary journalism. Students take mandatory French-language classes that correspond with their levels of proficiency. Peter Gumbel, a senior writer for Time and editor for Fortune, is coordinator for the program, which is conducted in English.

The Catholic University of Argentina partnership began in 2003.

Living Galapagos School of Journalism and Mass Communication

Story by Andrew Cummings ’10

Unbeknownst to most people, there is more to the Galapagos Islands than big turtles and Charles Darwin.

On the “Enchanted Islands,” there are people too, about 30,000 according to some estimates, who inhabit four of the 19 major islands of the Galapagos.

“This is an unreported story,” said associate professor Pat Davison, who led a group of students to the islands this past summer. “There are a wealth of issues and many people know little about what is going on.”

Davison was executive producer for a group of journalism students and professional journalists, acting as project coaches, who traveled to the islands to bring back a picture that most people will never see. The group stayed in the islands for a month, gathering stories about the people, the culture and the issues the islands are facing environmentally and economically.

Andrew Johnson A goat skull rests atop a knoll on Floreana Island in the Galapagos. Goats, an invasive species on the island, once ruined natural flora on the island, but thanks to the work of the Galapagos National Park, they have been all but eradicated.

“Having people there has really changed the environment and threatened it with invasive species, immigration and pollution,” said senior Mike Ehrlich. “If it keeps going down this route, the pristine and beautiful place it has been will be ruined.”

Ehrlich was one of 16 students who spent the first two weeks of the trip gathering information and putting together stories about the people and the issues plaguing the various islands. The three project coaches who accompanied the students were available to provide advice for the stories.

Ehrlich, who lived on Isabella Island, focused on fishermen and the difficulties they are facing.

“I was dealing with issues like the way the fisherman are impacted by tourism, the illegal fishing that goes on and the way that has affected their

“It was a really unique experience to be completely immersed in a project from the moment you wake up until the moment you fall asleep,” Ehrlich said.

After gathering the information for two weeks, the photographers met with the rest of the group on San Cristobal Island at the Galapagos Academic Institute for the Arts and Sciences (GAIAS) for two more weeks to create a way to display the information.

reputations,” Ehrlich said. “Also, a big part was the relationship between the fishermen and the Galapagos National Park, which is basically the main governing body of the Galapagos.”

Spending two weeks on Isabella, which is one of the less populated islands, provided him a look into the lives of the islanders that few have seen.

“Most tourists who visit Isabella stay on the tour boat and don’t really see the island for what it is,” Ehrlich said. “We stayed there for almost a whole month, so we were almost honorary locals.

You see the same people five times a day, so you really get to know them.”

Other students did stories on topics such as

Five of the students on the trip were charged with building a Web site designed to effectively get the information out. The final product, titled “Living Galapagos,” is a Web site containing 18 student videos, panoramic photos, slideshows and information graphics.

Emily Yount, a senior who worked on the design team, said the team decided to use a map interface that would allow the viewer to see in which islands and villages the stories were taking place.

“I didn’t know what the shape of the islands was or how many there were before we went,” Yount said. “So we wanted to show pinpoints of where all the stories took place; that way people could have a perspective.”

The design team, with the help of the photogra-

phers, created sidebars to provide context for the stories. Examples of sidebars include slideshows of additional photos, panoramic shots with audio and information graphics.

For Yount, the journalism experience was invaluable.

“Working on a project that was this extensive and combined so many elements was such a good learning experience,” Yount said. “I had only taken one class on the topic, so it was incredible to see how the photographer’s work and our work could come together to make something so cool.”

“We were in one of the most remote and beautiful places left on the planet, and there was plenty of time to take a step back and enjoy the experience,” Ehrlich said. “Every day on San Cristobal, we would

Jean Folkerts, dean of the school, said these international experiences are critical because students will be working in a wide variety of circumstances once they get out into the real world.

“These projects are designed so that students learn to work together as team members under relatively difficult circumstances in cultures and environments which are unfamiliar to them,” Folkerts said. “It gives them a sense of confidence when they go into the job world.

Summer 2009 marked the ninth year students have gone on a summer trip to build a multimedia Web site about a significant international locale.

Davison and his predecessor have previously taken groups to Chile, Spain, South Africa, Peru and Thailand.

Davison said he decided on the archipelagos because there is an established relationship between Galapagos Academic Institute for the Arts and Sciences and the UNC Center for Galapagos Studies, which does research in the islands about the effects of invasive species and how to fix the problems they cause.

Raleigh attorney Wade Hargrove was honored Oct. 28 at the Carolina Inn with a surprise ceremony announcing the establishment of an annual media law colloquium in his honor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

More than $200,000 for the Wade H. Hargrove Communications Law and Policy Colloquium was raised by the North Carolina Association of Broadcasters (NCAB), the North Carolina Cable Telecommunications Association (NCCTA), the Hearst Corporation and the School of Journalism and Mass Communication Foundation of North Carolina.

Hargrove, a partner with Brooks Pierce in Raleigh, has been NCAB executive director and general counsel for more than 39 years, NCCTA general counsel for 30 years, Wade H. Hargrove and Hearst communications regulatory counsel for 20 years.

He has supported the UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication and the UNC School of Law as an adviser, volunteer and donor.

The colloquium will feature an annual public address at UNC by a prominent national figure in communications law and public policy. The speaker will also meet with students and industry leaders.

Hargrove, who was appointed to the University’s Board of Trustees this year, was the driving force behind the UNC Center for Media Law and Policy, a national forum for the media industry, legal scholars and practitioners to discuss emerging issues at the intersection of media and law. The center is a collaboration of the UNC journalism and law schools. 

W. Horace Carter 1921 –2009

School of Journalism and Mass Communication

The school lost a great friend in Carolina journalism alumnus and Pulitzer Prize winner W. Horace Carter, who died Sept. 16, 2009, in Tabor City, N.C. He was 88.

Carter’s storied career as a journalist included a campaign in the 1950s against the Ku Klux Klan resulting in an FBI investigation and more than 100 convictions of Klansmen. Despite threats of violence to Carter and his family, he wrote and published more than 100 stories and editorials in The Tabor City Tribune that denounced the Klan.

Carter and The Tribune, along with editor Willard Cole and the nearby Whiteville News Reporter, won the Pulitzer Prize for meritorious public service in 1953 for the campaign against the Klan. The Tribune was the first weekly newspaper to win a Pulitzer.

The Pulitzer’s official citation read: “For their successful campaign against the Ku Klux Klan, waged on their own doorstep at the risk of economic loss and personal danger, culminating in the conviction of over one hundred Klansmen and an end to terrorism in their communities.”

“He was an inspiration to many, and friend to everyone he met, and a legend in community journalism for over 50 years,” his son Rusty said in a Sept. 19 story in the Wilmington Star News. “His commitment to social justice, God and country, his family and friends never wavered regardless of the challenge.”

Carter still owned The Tribune, now The TaborLoris Tribune, which also serves Loris, S.C. The

newspaper is published by Atlantic Publishing, a company Carter started that his son now runs. He continued to write columns for the paper, published more than 2,000 magazine articles, and wrote more than 20 books.

Carter was born in Albemarle, N.C., on Jan. 20, 1921. He served in the Navy, in both the North Atlantic and the Pacific, during World War II. While at Carolina, he was the editor of The Tar Heel student newspaper, which later became The Daily Tar Heel. After leaving Carolina in 1943, he founded The Tribune in 1946.

He was inducted into the N.C. Journalism Hall of Fame in 1983; received an honorary degree from Carolina in 2000; and was awarded the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, the state’s highest civilian honor, in 2007.

In a Sept. 21 editorial in The Daily Tar Heel entitled “A mighty pen: Carter set example of integrity for journalists, citizens,” Carter is described as “a warrior armed with a pen.” But Carter also was known for his generosity. In the same editorial, professor emeritus Tom Bowers was quoted as saying that Carter was “always grateful to the University and to the department of journalism.”

Carter donated his Pulitzer gold medal to the School of Journalism and Mass Communication in 1991 to inspire future journalists to fight for justice and high principles. He also gave $25,000 to publish Bowers’ “Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina.” And through a pooled income fund and a gift annuity, Carter made planned gifts to the school to provide opportunities to students.

Carter’s children established the W. Horace Carter Distinguished Professorship in his honor at the school to help extend the impact of their father’s legacy. 

Remembering Stephen Gates

School of Journalism and Mass Communication

112

It has been more than six years since Stephen Kennedy Gates, a 1998 J-school broadcasting graduate and a member of the Tar Heel Sports Network radio crew, died in a hit-and-run accident. He was 27 years old.

Stephen’s professional colleagues called him a rising star.

He received the Telly Award honoring outstanding regional and national programs, the William Randolph Hearst Certificate of Special Merit for excellence in radio broadcast news, the N.C. Baseball Broadcaster of the Year Award and the Burlington Indians’ All-time Broadcaster Memorial Award.

His career began as student intern in 1996. He was the radio voice of UNC baseball and women’s basketball; the sideline reporter for football; and the scoreboard and post-game call-in host for men’s basketball.

Family, friends, colleagues, sponsors and fans created a scholarship in his honor at the UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication for qualified students committed to a career in sports broadcasting.

A dedication was held the weekend of March 31 – April 2, 2000. The new home to journalism included the Charles Kuralt Learning Center, the new N.C. Halls of Fame room and the Freedom Forum Conference Center.

“ I am forever indebted to the invaluable resources at UNC’s journalism school: the professors who show vested interest in their students’ careers; the curriculum that both challenges us and teaches us how learning can be interactive; and the outside sponsors like you and many others who reward students for having lofty goals coupled with acute ambition.”

test theories is central to the project.

“Every journalism school in the country is talking about creating multimedia projects and converging technologies,” Folkerts said. “But none, to my knowledge, have created an environment that challenges current models and tests the results.”

“We’ll develop ideas, take risks and test how audiences respond,” she said.

“We won’t be afraid to make some mistakes along the way. That’s how we learn what works and what doesn’t and how we can help preserve quality journalism in the new media environment.

This project will focus on news and its importance within a democratic society.”

The newsroom and an adjacent computer facility will create a hub equipped for students in every specialization taught in the school – reporting, editing and design, broadcasting, photojournalism, multimedia, advertising and public relations.

Carolina is part of an initiative funded by the Carnegie Corp. and the Knight Foundation that seeks to help journalism education adapt to the challenges of a struggling news industry. It encourages experimental journalism projects, curriculum enhancement and collaboration with other academic disciplines.

In 1996, Felts endowed an annual $3,000 scholarship for electronic communication students in the school. In 1997, he named three editing suites in Carroll Hall.

“Reese’s kindness and generosity were well-known by many,” Folkerts said. “His gift enables us to do something unique and meaningful for our students.” 

The UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication is launching a major experimental student news project and audience research initiative funded by a $3.5 million gift from the estate of alumnus Reese Felts.

It is the largest single gift ever by an individual to Carolina’s journalism school, and it will also fund a distinguished professorship in the school.

Jean Folkerts, dean of the school, announced the gift and project Oct. 1.

Felts, a 1952 UNC graduate who worked for nearly 30 years as a radio and television broadcaster in WinstonSalem before retiring in 1980, died in 2009. He spent most of his career with WSJS, which is now WXII. “The journalism school instilled Reese with an almost-religious awe of the role of journalism in our society and the profound importance of a free and responsible press,” said Cowles Liipfert, Felts’ attorney and friend.

“Carolina’s journalism school has always been innovative,” Chancellor Holden Thorp said. “It is fitting that a gift from an older generation of journalists will help our students shape the future of news dissemination.”

The school will transform one of its classrooms into a 24-hour newsroom where students will work with faculty to produce and distribute news for a variety of audiences. The newsroom and its publications also will function as a research center to study audiences and communities that form around the news. The flexibility to experiment and
