2011 Dean’s Report
Carolina’s J-school had a fantastic, eventful year in 2011. We’re proud that our journalism students won back-to-back national championships in collegiate journalism, while our advertising and public relations students were winning major national awards and running their own creative communications firm with real-world clients. Our faculty and graduate students excelled in winning competitive grants and recognition from national journalism and communication education groups. They continued to focus their research and outreach in areas that make a difference for the public and the industries we serve. Our “Powering a Nation” project was named one of the world’s top three interactive multimedia sites. We welcomed our first class of students in our innovative online Master of Arts in Technology and Communication program. In June, Jean Folkerts stepped down as dean after five transformative years. She helped establish the school as a leader in digital media that is shaping the future of the industry. I had the pleasure to serve as the school’s interim dean, so I’ve now seen the school from the perspective of a doctoral student, faculty member, specialization head, associate dean, senior associate dean and interim dean.

We welcome Dean Susan King to Chapel Hill and can’t wait to see where the next era of Carolina journalism and communication education will lead us and the media industries. Your support makes it all possible. Thank you for all you do for the school. Sincerely,
Dulcie Straughan, Interim Dean

[ dean susan king ] In 2012, Susan King succeeds Jean Folkerts who stepped down as dean in June 2011, and Dulcie Straughan who served as interim dean through December 2011. King is also the school’s John Thomas Kerr Distinguished Professor. “The journalism school has a national reputation for excellence and is a source of pride for Carolina alumni, students and faculty. As the digital age brings swift changes to the way we communicate, our students will be able to lead the news industry into the future,” said Chancellor Holden Thorp. “Susan King’s impressive work as an architect of the Carnegie-Knight Initiative on the Future of Journalism Education shows her ability to prepare a new generation of communicators to seize the opportunities of the fast-moving multimedia era.”

[ Carolina wins back-to-back national championships in collegiate journalism ] The UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication finished first overall in the intercollegiate competition of the Hearst Journalism Awards, often called the Pulitzers of college journalism, for the second year in a row. December 2010 graduate Arkasha Stevenson won the individual national championship in photojournalism, and August 2011 grad Margaret Cheatham Williams won the individual national championship in multimedia. The school’s overall first-place finish resulted from students placing in monthly writing, photojournalism, broadcast and multimedia competitions during the 2010–11 school year. The school placed second nationally in both broadcast news and photojournalism and 12th in writing in the intercollegiate competition. Points from multimedia competitions counted toward the overall win, but no places were awarded in the category. Four UNC journalism students — Stevenson (photojournalism), Williams (multimedia), Justin Page (television) and Michael Tomsic (radio) — joined 22 other national finalists in San Francisco to demonstrate their skills in on-thespot assignments and compete for additional awards. Page finished third in the television broadcast news championship, and Tomsic placed fourth in radio broadcast news. May 2010 graduate Carly Brantmeyer won the award for the best single photograph in the year’s Hearst Journalism Awards.

Standing at 6-feet-2-inches tall, Cobb was the second All-American basketball player in UNC’s history and helped the Heels, then nicknamed the “White Phantoms,” win three consecutive Southern Conference Tournament titles. He left Chapel Hill with two more All-America recognitions, a perfect 26-0 season in 1924, and the Helms Foundation named him National Player of the Year in 1926.

Lennie Rosenbluth represented the zenith of coach Frank McGuire’s so-called “Underground Railroad” effort of bringing the top northern talent down to the South. At 6-foot-5, Rosenbluth averaged a chart-topping 26.9 points per game for the Heels during the regular season. In the 1957 NCAA championship title game, Rosenbluth scored 20 of UNC’s 54 points, leading to a dramatic triple overtime finish against the Kansas Jayhawks. His contributions also earned him NCAA National Player of the Year, ACC Player of the Year, ACC Tournament MVP and NCAA regional MVP in the same season.

Even though James Worthy only played for the Tar Heels for two and a half years, he definitely earned his place among fellow UNC legends. The 6-foot-9 forward known as “Big Game James” led the Heels to two ACC Tournament Championships and two NCAA Tournament Championship appearances. A game-clinching steal against the Georgetown Hoyas in the 1982 National championship game secured Tar Heel victory and Worthy’s recognition as the Tournament’s the Most Outstanding Player .
Jan. 27, 1911 UNC 42 vs. Virginia Christian 21
A celebrated athlete in his native Johnstown, Pa., Glamack was left nearly blind in his left eye because of a high school football injury. When the 6-foot-7-inch giant finally left for college, he initially chose to continue his football career at a devilishly blue institution down the road. After coming to his senses and leaving, Glamack joined the UNC’s basketball team and led the Heels to their first NCAA Tournament appearance in 1941. Known as the“Blind Bomber,” Glamack used the painted lines on the court as guides to deliver a nearly unstoppable hook shot, earning him multiple National Player of the Year recognitions — a feat only shared by one other Tar Heel (Hint: Jordan).

Easily the greatest basketball player of all time, Michael Jordan skyrocketed his athletic career by scoring the game-winning jump shot in the 1982 NCAA Championship game. With 15 seconds left in the game against the Georgetown Hoyas, the late-blooming 6-foot-4 guard from Wilmington proved his legendary status with a certain finesse that would eventually become his signature style. That year, Jordan earned the title of ACC Rookie of the Year and was later selected as a consensus All-American both his sophomore and junior years. In 1984, Jordan won two National Player of the Year awards before ending his college career early and entering the NBA draft.

EXCELLENCE. TRADITION. HISTORY. GREATNESS. These are all words that come to mind when thinking of Carolina basketball. More than a century in the making, this storied program has continually revolutionized the world of college athletics by producing outstanding players of limitless talent through the guidance of truly visionary coaches. Here’s a look back at the first hundred years of Tar Heel history— a visual celebration of North Carolina’s best coaches, players and the records they set.

A 6-foot-9 native of Charlotte, Antawn Jamison helped the Tar Heels to two consecutive Final Four appearances in 1997 and 1998. Averaging 19.0 points and 9.9 rebounds per game during his three seasons wearing the blue and white, Jamison also aided in securing two consecutive ACC Tournament Championships. Jamison was awarded two National Player of the Year awards at the end of his junior year and decided to forgo his senior by entering into the NBA draft.

[ Grant to fund UNC journalism partnership with N.C. newspapers to create new business models around hyper-local news ] The UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication will help rural newspapers develop sustainable business models around hyper-local news that can be produced using public information and open source software, with a $275,000 grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. Assistant professor Ryan Thornburg is leading the project that was one of 16 winners of the 2011 Knight News Challenge. Thornburg is aggregating data from state, county and municipal governments in North Carolina — making it useful to rural newspapers and their readers — through customization of the OpenBlock Web application that can display news and data onto local maps. Popular applications of the technology include crime maps, real estate transactions, birth and death notices, and restaurant inspection scores. The project will help local newspapers to develop a significant source of new online revenue that can help sustain and enhance their news and information gathering. The Knight News Challenge is an international contest to fund innovative ideas that develop platforms, tools and services to inform and transform community news, conversations and information distribution and visualization. The staffs of rural news organizations are often small with limited time and resources to experiment with technology and develop new digital strategies, Thornburg said. “It’s a privilege to work with our state’s great community papers and their hard-working journalists moving into the digital age,” he said. “We believe this project will help open the door to important information for our citizens and significant new revenues for our rural newspapers. We’ve got a lot to learn about whether and how digital news platforms that can work in big cities might work in communities that knew hyper-local before it was cool.”
18 | School of Journalism and Mass Communication
The project involves digitizing public documents so they can be accessed through OpenBlock database software developed by OpenPlans with funding from Knight Foundation. The goal, Thornburg said, is to use digital public records to lower the cost of doing reporting and also create a new editorial product that is popular with rural audiences and valuable to local advertisers. “We’re excited about the potential of applying new approaches to accessing and sharing public data in rural communities,” said John Bracken, director of digital media for Knight Foundation. Recent research and partnerships led by the UNC journalism school’s Knight Chair in Journalism and Digital Media Economics Penny Abernathy, funded by the McCormick Foundation, show that citizens in the state’s rural communities want the kind of content Thornburg’s project will help produce. “This kind of information draws new and younger audiences who will return to their community newspaper websites repeatedly and increase the time they spend on the site searching for and sorting the public information they want,” Abernathy said. “The increased traffic creates opportunities for the newspapers to attract sponsorships and provide new revenue streams needed to support quality community journalism.” Rick Thames, editor of The Charlotte Observer, said the project would fill a need in North Carolina. “Small papers can’t do this sort of work on their own, so it just isn’t getting done,” he said. “What a gift this is for those communities.” Beth Grace, director of the N.C. Press Association, said the state’s newspapers would welcome the help. “At a time when papers have lost staff and have had to postpone in-depth/investigative and trend reporting, this could bring some of that information back to papers and their readers,” she said. Les High, editor and publisher of The Whiteville News-Reporter, has worked with Abernathy and Thornburg over the past year. “As is the case in most rural communities in this state, the public information we want to report is not readily available,” he said. “This project brings the benefits of the digital highway to even the most remote areas, and it could be an important source of new revenue for community newspapers everywhere.” Thornburg hopes the project will create a model for gathering and reporting public information throughout rural America and eventually shed light on larger trends that would otherwise go unreported.

[ STUART WILSON SECHRIEST, 1914–2011 ] Stuart Wilson Sechriest, former newspaper man, Army officer and professor emeritus at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, died Oct. 13. He was 97. Sechriest began to teach in what is now the UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication in 1946, hired by legendary dean O.J. “Skipper” Coffin. Sechriest taught news editing and photography and was a General College adviser. “He was an institution in the school and a wonderful character, loving to tell jokes and compose limericks,” said Jan Johnson Yopp, Walter Spearman Professor in the school, dean of the Summer School and a former student of Sechriest. Sechriest brought wire services to the classroom so that students could get experience editing real-life news copy. He also taught the first course in press photography at UNC. After teaching for more than 30 years, he retired in 1977. “He was widely known for his sense of humor and was much beloved by those who knew him,” said his daughter, Mary Pauline Sechriest of Chapel Hill, a lawyer retired from the University attorney’s staff. “His students have gone on to excel at newspapers around the U.S., and many have entered the field of law.” She said her father “believed in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man.” Sechriest was born in 1914 in Davidson County near Thomasville to John Franklin and Carrie Fouts Sechriest. He was the last survivor in a family of nine brothers and sisters. He graduated from public schools in Davidson County and UNC-Chapel Hill. He got his first taste of the newspaper business in a class Coffin taught in 1933, his sophomore year at the University. Now, a student award in the school bears Sechriest’s name. Sechriest volunteered for the U.S. Army Air Forces in September 1942 while on the staff of the Greensboro Daily News and served during World War II. He was discharged in 1946. In 1948, he was commissioned in the

Army Reserves and became a Selective Service officer, then public information officer for the Selective Service in the state of North Carolina. He worked for the National Guard and Army Reserves until his retirement with the rank of colonel in 1974. Sechriest was married for more than 50 years to the former Carolyn Frazier Tuck of Virgilina, Va. She died in August 2001. Both were communicants of Chapel of the Cross, an Episcopal parish in Chapel Hill. Surviving are two daughters, Mary Pauline Sechriest of Chapel Hill and Elizabeth Sechriest Cornella of Boone. Also surviving are his son-in-law, Rick Cornella and three grandchildren, Scott, Valerie and Kimberly Cornella of Boone. Friends and colleagues are also welcome to post remembrances of Sechriest at jomc.unc.edu/sechriest. Memorial contributions may be made to the School of Journalism and Mass Communication Foundation of North Carolina, P.O. Box 309, UNC-Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill NC 27514.

[ Alumna Charles named NABJ Journalist of the Year ] [C.W. Griffin] Jacqueline Charles reports from the coastal town of Arcachaie, Haiti, the birthplace of the Haitian flag. The town is located north of the quake-ravaged capital of Port-au-Prince.
Jacqueline Charles, a 1994 alumna of the school, was named the 2011 National Association of Black Journalist’s Journalist of the Year. Charles is the Caribbean correspondent for the Miami Herald. She has drawn acclaim for her coverage of Haiti in the aftermath of the devastating 2010 earthquake. “Jacquie tells stories that are often overlooked,” said NABJ President Kathy Y. Times. “As a Miami native, I appreciate her commitment to enlightening the local community and a global audience. Jacquie’s work embodies NABJ’s mission, heart and soul.” Charles began her career with the Miami Herald in 1986 as a high school intern. Upon completing her degree at UNC, she returned to the Herald as a full-time journalist. Although still relatively freshly minted as a working professional, her first international story had global significance: the return of Haitian president Jean-Bertrand Aristide. She has continued to cover triumphs and tragedy in Haiti and other island nations with unrelenting energy to tell stories that not only impact but also educate and encourage change. “Jacquie has done more to focus the world’s attention on the tragedies and triumphs of Haiti than any other reporter, sometimes at great personal risks,” said John Yearwood, world editor of the Miami Herald and co-chair of the NABJ World Affairs Task Force along with Djibril Diallo, who nominated Charles for the honor. “Haitians tell me all the time that they owe her a debt of gratitude. This recognition is well-deserved.” In 2010, NABJ also honored Charles as its International Reporter of the Year at its Tampa convention. “Her work is an inspiration for reporters who want to bring the cultural history of the African diaspora into the realm of greater understanding of people of color,” said Deirdre M. Childress, NABJ Vice President-Print. “I salute her work as an example for inspiring and fearless journalism, meeting the goal of NABJ’s coverage of our communities. She shines a light on communities that deserve greater coverage and that offer black journalists a linkage to our history.”

WHAT Advertising Advertising is the second largest specialization in the school. More than 100 students are engaged in the study and practice of advertising during this time of fundamental change in the industry. A full-time faculty of five supports the students in their studies. The school’s search for a Knight Chair in Digital Advertising and Marketing is ongoing. Students learn the principles behind multimedia advertising campaigns and the leading theories behind the marketing and branding of products. Classes also help students understand and stay current with changes in the industry, specifically in regard to digital marketing and social media. These changes have brought about new approaches in areas such as online analytics, search marketing and branded integration, which inspires new perspectives on the advertising profession. Guest speakers have included commercial director Stacy Wall; Ken Haines, CEO of the ACC Network; and Cindy Marshall, CMO of Performance Bicycle. The advertising program fielded another competitive team for the national American Advertising Federation competition, and the sports communication program — which began within the advertising specialization — continued working with leading teams like the Florida Marlins and leading events like the Orange Bowl.

The UNC Board of Trustees approved a major in business journalism in 2011. In conjunction with the Kenan-Flagler Business School, the School of Journalism and Mass Communication began offering the major to undergraduates in the fall. The major requires students to take a mixture of classes at both schools. About a dozen students applied for the major in the fall, and a record 22 students enrolled in the “Economics Reporting” class in the fall. In addition, the business journalism curriculum added a new course in the fall 2011 semester. The course, “Advanced Business Reporting,” was taught by a group of Bloomberg News reporters and editors, including Sarah Rabil, who completed the business journalism certificate at the school in 2007. Thirteen students enrolled in the class. During the summer, a dozen students from the school interned at

[ 37th frame ] The 37th Frame, Carolina photojournalism’s annual student-run photo contest and exhibit, features the best student work from the past year. This year’s exhibition featured 37 single images — in spot news, general news, feature, sports action, sports feature, portrait, pictorial, illustration and photo story categories — selected from hundreds of submissions. The images were judged by a panel of professional photojournalists from organizations that included The Washington Post, The New York Times and The Virginian-Pilot. The following are some of the images featured in the 37th Frame exhibition.
[Lauren A. Vied] Every day at 5 p.m., Marshall, 7, and his daddy, Gray Outlaw, do their rounds at their turkey houses. Currently, the Outlaw family has two turkey houses holding about 12,500 turkeys. Marshall and Gray walk the houses daily to move their water bowls, remove dead turkeys and give the gobbler’s their daily medication. They raise the turkeys for 20 weeks until they are shipped to Goldsboro Milling, home of Butterball, and put into a deep freeze until Thanksgiving dinner. The Outlaw’s also raise hogs, tobacco, corn and soy beans.

Chuck Stone Program for Diversity in Education and Media Summer 2011 marked the fifth anniversary of the Chuck Stone Program, which was inspired by professor emeritus Chuck Stone’s life-long commitment to increase voices of diversity in all areas of mass communication. The program, which won the 2011 UNC Diversity Unit Award, has grown to be one of the top multiple-platform storytelling workshops for students from underrepresented populations. It is a centerpiece in the J-school’s effort to recruit diverse undergraduate students. The 2011 workshop was held from July 10–16 in Carroll Hall. Students represented the full spectrum of inclusiveness including ethnic, racial, sexual

Journalism Curriculum Students learn to write, report, broadcast, photograph and present news and information. The public needs quality information from independent media now more than ever to better inform society and strengthen our democracy.
Advertising / Public Relations Curriculum Students learn to develop persuasive advertising messages or focus on strategic communication for an organization. Corporations, government agencies, nonprofits, advocacy groups, PR firms and ad agencies need a new breed of communicator who can use new media effectively within an ethical framework.

Editing and Graphic Design Although journalism is seeing tremendous changes, the fundamentals of newsgathering, editing and presenting news remain a vital part of the curriculum of the school. The editing and graphic design specialization allows students to polish their skills in story editing, headline writing, caption writing, page design and alternative story forms. The courses in this specialization reflect the need for today’s journalist to be proficient in print and online forms. Understanding how to use social media such as blogs, Facebook and Twitter is also a crucial component of this area. Courses in this specialization work closely with one another and with other courses in the school. For example, students in “Magazine Writing and Editing” collaborated with those in “Magazine Design” on semesterlong projects. Their “Earth+Sky” magazine won the start-up magazine award in the 2011 AEJMC student magazine competition. Students in “Advanced Editing” work with their counterparts in “Community Journalism” to produce the Carrboro Commons (carrborocommons.org) and Durham VOICE (durhamvoice.org) websites. The editing and graphic design specialization also offers advanced classes in information graphics, 3D design and motion graphics. In the 2011 Society for News Design student design competition, UNC students won awards in infographics, promotion design and special section design.
electronic communication Electronic communication students drew significant recognition in 2011. Justin Page and Michael Tomsic represented the school in the television and radio categories, respectively, at the Hearst national championships in San Francisco. Their efforts, combined with those of other electronic communication students, earned the specialization second place nationally in the Hearst Intercollegiate Broadcast News competition — the 10th consecutive year placing in the top three. This year’s showing helped the school to its second consecutive overall Hearst national championship. Page also earned top honors in the Society of Professional Journalists Mark of Excellence Awards’ Sports Television Reporting category. The win marked the third year in a row that UNC had a national champion in one of the SPJ TV reporting categories. Both “Carolina Week,” the school’s TV news program, and “Carolina Connection,” UNC’s radio news program, were judged best in the nation — “Carolina Week” by the National Broadcasting Society and “Carolina Connection” by the Society of Professional Journalists. In total, electronic communication students earned nearly 60 regional and national awards to add to the trophy cases outside the Greene-Waters HD News Center. Faculty member Charlie Tuggle received the Ed Bliss Award, given annually to a broadcast journalism educator who has made significant and lasting contributions to the field. Specialization faculty members continue to explore new ways to make students nationally competitive, embracing the need to be excellent storytellers across platforms, and being ready to join the world of professional journalism once they graduate.

graduate program The graduate program welcomed 20 new students in fall 2011 — seven doctoral students and 13 master’s students. In addition to students from across the U.S., international students from Brazil, Korea and Mexico were part of the incoming class. Fall 2011 also marked the 15th class of Roy H. Park Fellows to enter the school. The Triad Foundation generously funds the Park Fellowships, given to entering doctoral and master’s students each year. Other graduate students receive funding from the Graduate Dean’s Research Assistantship. In 2011, the school welcomed the inaugural class of the Master of Arts in Technology and Communication (MATC). The school also added a new Interdisciplinary Health Communication (IHC) track in the master’s program. In fall 2011, associate professor Francesca Dillman Carpentier became the doctoral program director. Assistant professor Heidi Hennink-Kaminski became the master’s program director. Doctoral graduates accepted professorships at institutions including Appalachian State University, the Cumberland School of Law at Samford University, University of Houston, University of Texas at Arlington, Drake University, Texas Tech University, University of South Carolina and Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Students from the master’s program have taken jobs and internships at organizations including NC State magazine, Carolina Alumni Review, Nielsen Research, ABC11, ESPN, Austin American-Statesman, The Story with Dick Gordon, The Boston Globe, Grantland.com, WEHCO Media Inc., Climate Nexus, CNN, ABC News, GreenPlus, SapientNitro and the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University, among others. Graduate students won awards that included the grand prize in the 2011 Arthur W. Page Society case study competition, a 2011 UNC Graduate Education Advancement Board Impact Award, a grant from the Duke University Online Discourse Project and an Overseas Press Club Foundation Scholarship, among others. Master’s graduates Catherine Orr, editor-inchief, and Delphine Andrews, managing editor, helped lead a team of student journalists to produce the News21 multimedia project “Coal: A Love Story” during spring and summer 2011.

Information Technology and Services The information technology scene at the school changed significantly during 2011. Donald Sizemore was promoted to systems analyst, and the school added Michael Sharpe as a support analyst. Student assistant Lee Godley supported the school’s IT efforts until his graduation in December. All Mac labs were upgraded to 10.6 Snow Leopard, Adobe Creative Suite 5 and Office 2011 before the start of the spring semester. During the summer, new Lenovo desktops were installed in the Park Library computer lab,

Latino Journalism and Media at Carolina Latino Journalism and Media at Carolina (Latijam) is a school-wide, long-term project to develop cultural competence for students while seeking to improve the quality of media coverage of Latinos in North Carolina and beyond. It integrates a specialized certificate program, a service-learning community project and a website that publishes student work and offers research resources and a regional directory of Latino media (latijam.jomc.unc.edu). The Undergraduate Certificate in Latino Journalism and Media is an interdisciplinary program offered by the J-school in collaboration with the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures and the Latina/o Minor and Program. During its
Interdisciplinary Health Communication The Interdisciplinary Health Communication (IHC) initiative soared to new heights this year. The inaugural class of four master’s students pursuing the IHC track entered in fall 2011. Students learn about the possibilities of traditional and electronic forms of media and the psychology of persuasion. They take classes in public health, information science and psychology along with journalism and mass communication. To round out the program, students specialize in one of four areas — public health, information science, medical journalism or social marketing. The master’s program complements the IHC graduate certificate program available since 2007 to master’s and doctoral students in any school on the UNC campus. Fourteen students from four schools or departments are pursuing the certificate, and 15 students from five schools or departments have graduated from the certificate program as of August 2011. After graduation, IHC certificate alumni have secured competitive positions in health communication practice and research with the Institute of Medicine, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Family Health International, East Carolina University, Texas Tech University, the University of South Carolina and the Indiana University-Purdue University School of Informatics, among others. This year the school welcomed two new faculty members to teach IHC courses. Seth Noar teaches the IHC theories and methods course. His research focuses on cancer prevention among at risk populations in North Carolina. Brian Southwell teaches social marketing with a focus on health communication.

first year, the program enrolled eight students. Latijam’s engagement and public service component, Radio Latijam, is an after-school, youth empowerment program centered on a weekly Spanishlanguage radio show produced by and for Latina/o youth. With the help of 13 UNC students who served as coaches to 14 participating teens, Radio Latijam broadcasts every Friday from 5-6 p.m. on Carrboro’s community radio station, WCOM FM 103.5. Also in 2011, Latijam developed a partnership with Carrboro High School, adding to the partnership that it established in 2010 with Chapel Hill High School. Latijam added new research resources to its website, including the 2011 version of the regional directory of Spanish-language media. In addition to North Carolina, the directory covers Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee. This searchable database is the only publicly available record of its kind. It contains a wealth of data for students, researchers and all those seeking to communicate with a growing Latino population and a bourgeoning market. For more information about Latijam, contact Lucila Vargas at lcvargas@email.unc.edu.
[ jafa ] [photo courtesy of brittany bass] Students in Times Square during the 2011 spring break trip to New York City.
The Journalism Alumni and Friends Association (JAFA) continues to promote mentoring through career fairs and workshops for students, and the fall and spring break networking trips. In July 2011, JAFA elected a new president, Sarah Lamm, and vice president, Andrew Park. Under Lamm and Park’s leadership, JAFA has added seven new members and is building a local alumni chapter in New York City. Each fall and spring break, the school takes 10 to 12 students to a major U.S. city for a unique networking experience. Over the course of 31 years, the trips have become a signature program of the school. In spring 2011, students visited New York City, and a record-breaking 52 alumni participated in the program. For two days, students met with alumni at companies such as Google, The New York Times, Ketchum and CBS. A reception with alumni and friends was held at CBS headquarters. The fall 2011 trip to Chicago featured visits to The Chicago Tribune, Leo Burnett, the Big Ten Network and Walgreens. An alumni reception was held at the Intercontinental Hotel. As the trips grow in popularity, the application process becomes more competitive. To increase the number of students on each trip, and decrease the student cost, the school has launched a fundraising campaign. To learn more about the trips, and how you can participate or support them, visit jomc.unc.edu/networkingtrips.
Moving to New York City was always a dream of mine. Without the JAFA networking trip and the generosity of UNC J-school alumni, navigating the complexity of the job application process would have been daunting. I am so grateful for the guidance I was given, from resume suggestions to apartment advice, and now, as an alumna, I’m excited to help fellow Tar Heels as they chase their dreams. – Anne Kreuser ‘11 Assistant Account Executive, Corporate Social Responsibility | Edelman New York

M.A. / J.D. Dual Degree In 2011, Jonathan D. Jones and Nora Sullivan became the first two graduates of the school’s dual degree program in mass communication law. The program, which began in 2007, is a joint effort with the UNC School of Law and allows students to earn an M.A. in mass communication and a J.D. in law in approximately four years instead of the five years it would take to earn both degrees separately. While a student in the program, Jones served as editor-in-chief of the First Amendment Law Review and clerked for the Reporter’s Committee for Freedom of the Press in Washington, D.C. Sullivan, who is a clerk for a superior court judge in Washington, D.C., was executive editor for the First Amendment Law Review and also worked for the UNC Center for Media Law and Policy while a student in the program. Sullivan was a Roy H. Park Fellow, and both Jones and Sullivan were recipients of the Beverly Cooper Moore Scholarship. To participate in the dual degree program in mass communication law, students must apply and be admitted to both the UNC School of Law and the journalism school’s master’s program. The highly-selective program is the only dual degree program the school offers at the graduate level.
Master of Arts in technology and communication The Master of Arts in Technology and Communication (MATC) enrolled its first cohort of 20 students in August. Students participated in an orientation in Carroll Hall Aug. 4‒5 and began online classes Aug. 23. The group will return to campus again in May for a weeklong summer workshop. Focusing on interactive media, the Internet and digital economics, the innovative MATC curriculum addresses issues that are reshaping journalism and mass communication in the 21st century. Courses are taught via the Web by school faculty, allowing working professionals to advance their educations part-time while maintaining work and family responsibilities. MATC students must have at least three years of professional experience in a communications-related field. Students hold jobs in a range of areas, including public affairs manager for a municipality, creative producer for a TV news station, design editor for a metro newspaper, communication director for a statewide nonprofit, and social media marketing specialist for a global software company. The MATC will enroll its next cohort in fall 2012. The MATC builds on the success of the school’s Certificate in Technology and Communication (jomc.unc.edu/de) that began enrolling students in spring 2003. The certificate — a unique, online program of three graduate-level courses — provides an immersion in digital media and requires no travel to campus. Learn more at matc.jomc.unc.edu.

In fall 2011, students produced two pieces on alternative energy to air on UNC-TV’s “North Carolina Now.” In spring 2011, students in Linden’s “Medical Reporting for the Electronic Media” class produced nine health segments for “Carolina Week,” the student newscast. Topics included use of therapeutic hypothermia (cooling) to treat patients with cardiac arrest, safety of the Shearon Harris nuclear plant and smoking bans in bars and restaurants. Following graduation from the master’s program in May, Carrie Gann took a production job with the health unit of ABCNews.com in New York. In summer 2011, second-year master’s student Stephanie Soucheray-Grell wrote for the Yale Medical School’s publications while classmate Kelly Izlar interned at the Morehead Planetarium researching a multimedia bootcamp for scientists.

recognize individuals who represent the next generation of leadership in their fields. Mitchell, a reporter and writer who chronicled the lives of ordinary New Yorkers, was born to a Fairmont, N.C., farm family in 1908. Critic Stanley Edgar Hyman said he belonged to a literary — not merely journalistic — tradition that includes Faulkner, Bellow, Joyce and Defoe. Mitchell, who died in 1996, was inducted posthumously into the N.C. Journalism Hall of Fame. Park, who was inducted into the N.C. Advertising Hall of Fame, built a 40-year career in advertising that included agency work for J. Walter Thompson and Kincaid Advertising, and he has served as president and chairman of Park Outdoor Advertising since 1984. He is president and chairman of the Triad Foundation, which funds graduate-level fellowships at the school. He received a Distinguished Alumnus Award from UNC in 2005.

Journalism Hall of Fame inductee Price served more than 50 years as managing editor, editor and editor emeritus of the Goldsboro News-Argus while the newspaper earned more than 40 state and national awards for editorials, investigative reporting, feature writing and public service. Stone, a Journalism Hall of Fame inductee, is the Walter Spearman Professor emeritus at the school. He came to Carolina after an extraordinary career as a journalist, editor and columnist at several newspapers including the Chicago Defender and the Philadelphia Daily News, where he was the first black columnist and first black editor. Journalism Hall of Fame inductee Williams won numerous awards for writing and widespread recognition for innovation and leadership during his 35-year career at The Charlotte Observer. His columns and editorials were part of Observer projects that won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service in 1981 and 1988. Whitefield, who distinguished himself over a 50-year career in journalism and public relations, was inducted to the N.C. Public Relations Hall of Fame. The 1948 Carolina graduate became public relations director for Duke University until returning to Carolina to lead the General Alumni Association. He earned the rare distinction of being known as “Mr. Duke” and “Mr. Carolina” at different times in his career. Next Generation Leadership Award honoree Goodwyn is the president of global distribution and CEO of Discovery Education for Discovery Communications. The UNC journalism school alumnus oversees all content distribution sales and marketing activity on behalf of Discovery’s more than 100 worldwide networks, including Discovery Channel, TLC, Animal Planet and Science Channel. Oakley, also a Next Generation Leadership Award honoree, is president and founding partner of the BooneOakley agency in Charlotte, N.C., which was named Southeast Small Agency of the Year by Advertising Age in 2009. Its website (booneoakley.com) was honored in the 2010 Google Creative Canvas.
N.c. college media association The N.C. College Media Association (NCCMA), based in the school’s N.C. Scholastic Media Association (NCSMA) offices, serves college media staffs in the state. The association, which began in 2007, has sponsored four conferences and developed a statewide media contest. The first conference was held in Chapel Hill in 2008. The 2009 event was at N.C. State, and the 2010 conference was at Elon University. Each conference offers an array of sessions for newspaper, online news, literary magazine and yearbook editors, staff members and advisers. The 2011 conference at Appalachian State focused on the theme of “Covering the Arts.” Appalachian State faculty from theater, dance, music and visual arts discussed that topic during an opening panel session. Some 110 campus journalists attended the Feb. 19 event in Boone. Results of the statewide media contests were announced that day, and displays of campus media across the state were made available to attendees. NCCMA remains committed to offering a lowcost, high-quality conference that allows those who may not be able to attend national conventions the opportunity to interact with other college journalists, designers and writers. The conference fee remains at $30 per person, and the flat fee for the statewide contest is set at $25. Support from college media advisers across the state ensures that these fees can be maintained. These advisers judge the contest and offer instructional sessions at the conferences.

(NCSMA), based in the school, is the state’s high school press association. The school has offered outreach services to high school journalists and their teachers since 1936; the association was officially formed in 1941. This statewide organization promotes excellence in scholastic journalism and encourages respect of freedom of the press. NCSMA organizes a large scholastic media institute, six regional workshops and a statewide contest and critique service each year. The six 2011 regional workshops were held at UNC-Chapel Hill, UNC-Asheville, Appalachian State, East Carolina, N.C. A&T and The Charlotte Observer. More than 1,000 students attend the
The National Security Fellowship Program (NSFP) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is a 10-month postgraduate research fellowship for military officers and civilian government officials. It is part of the Senior Service College Fellowship Program hosted by the UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication and UNC Curriculum on Peace, War and Defense. Upon completion of the program, fellows receive credit for Senior Service School. The NSFP is geared to military and government officials interested in leveraging the research power of academia to help address the complex challenges of military and government leaders today and in the future. National Security Fellows have the opportunity to study a wide range of academic disciplines offered by constituent institutions of the University of North Carolina system including: national security, public policy, public affairs, medical/veterinary/health, language, culture, engineering, business, agriculture and others.
statewide workshops. The 2011 summer N.C. Scholastic Media Institute provided four days of intense instruction in yearbook, newspaper, TV news, literary magazine, design, advising and photography for 275 students and teachers from across the state. This year we added a full sequence in online news. Students in that sequence produced an online news site, using equipment and facilities in the school’s digital newsroom. NCSMA also offers graduate-level courses for high school journalism teachers, and funding is available to N.C. high school journalism teachers through NCSMA’s Journalism Education Fellowship Program. The 2011 courses covered desktop publishing and design, and teaching online news. It also supports the Journalism Education Association’s Mentor Program that pairs retired high school journalism teachers with new high school journalism teachers. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the U.S.

such as “Staying in Bounds” and focused on digital marketing channels to make audiences aware of the content. Social media, for example, has developed into the largest driver of traffic for the site. Going forward, the project will continue to focus on content and audience research, and it will move heavily into the mobile space. The mobile juggernaut is redefining digital content and audience consumption patterns — forcing our students to examine how content produced for the Web differs from the content audiences may want on mobile devices. The project is also committed to exploring new business models. Like traditional content creation, traditional business models do not harness the full capabilities of digital. The project will explore new ways by which content is created efficiently, effectively and profitably.
Strategic Communication The school introduced the strategic communication specialization in 2009 to provide an opportunity for students to experience both advertising and public relations. Increasingly, employers look for students who understand how each discipline can be used to build brands and establish relationships with a variety of stakeholder groups. The introductory advertising and public relations courses were restructured into one course so that students are exposed to each discipline. Strategic communication students are required to take an advertising and public relations research
Reporting The reporting specialization supports students interested in both print and online journalism. Students may take courses in reporting; news editing; business journalism; community journalism; and feature, editorial and magazine writing. The core news reporting class creates a hands-on learning experience with student reporters covering beats under the guidance of instructors functioning as editors working out of an off-campus newsroom on Franklin Street. Students develop their own contacts, sources and stories outside of class and in the community — while developing a rapport with their editor in the newsroom. The reporting specialization now includes an entrepreneurial component that requires students to pitch stories to the school’s Reese Felts Digital News project. This creates valuable publishing opportunities for students and gives them training in how to promote their work — an invaluable skill in today’s media climate. Among the guest speakers in reporting classes was John Skipper, ESPN president. Graduates in 2011 accepted jobs at a range of outlets including Bloomberg, the N.Y. Daily News, the Wilmington-Star News and the Watauga Democrat.
Sports Communication Program The sports communication program is designed to bring all programs in the school together to look at the world of sports media. The program consists of three courses covering ethics, marketing and general sports communication. Students have worked with senior executives from the Florida Marlins, Detroit Pistons and Miami Dolphins. They have conducted ethics forums on college football, youth sports, sports reporting and the concussion controversy with senior officials and experts who have visited classrooms to discuss issues based on student research. Guest speakers have included Miami Heat executive vice president Kim Stone, former Carolina basketball coach Bill Guthridge, and Travis Tygart, CEO and general manager of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. Sport communication students have landed jobs at ESPN, Nike, Onsport Consulting, the Carolina Panthers and the Baltimore Ravens.

course. The course introduces students to core research methods used in both advertising and public relations, including the use of social media for environmental scanning and campaign evaluation. Students also have the option to conclude their coursework by taking a new social marketing campaigns course. Students work in interdisciplinary teams with a public health client to conduct formative research, develop a social marketing strategy, create and test campaign materials, and present a final plan of action to the client. In spring 2011, students created campaigns to encourage AfricanAmerican mothers to initiate and sustain breastfeeding; motivate businesses to create and enforce a distracted driving policy for their employees; and educate and inspire college students to become gatekeepers for suicide prevention. Students can put their strategic communication skills to work at Heelprint Communications, the student-run agency founded by public relations and advertising students through an endowment provided by Adams & Longino Advertising in Greenville, N.C. Heelprint provides students with the opportunity to gain real world public relations and advertising experience, while helping local businesses and nonprofit organizations with their strategic communication needs.
[ Workroom ] The second year of the popular Workroom program welcomed national retailer American Eagle Outfitters. Students met with design experts, creative directors and marketing leaders over the course of the school year to find inspiration and design insight for a core American Eagle product — the hooded sweatshirt. The students presented their work at an exhibition to American Eagle corporate design and marketing officers. Students made suggestions for new materials, as well as layout and illustration concepts uncharacteristic of this type of product — all with the goal of giving American Eagle a promotional edge through original design. Assistant professor Dana McMahan develops the Workroom program for the school. She said the program is about immersing students in the whirlpool where marketing, design, production and promotion meet. The program brings an advertising focus to the product design and development process. This year’s Workroom participants were Lola Bajomo, Nick Brenton, Ryan Crawford, Laurence DeschampsLaporte, Treye Green, Tyler Harris, Sarah Riazati, Veronica Selzler, Julia Simpson, Jeffery Sullivan and Taylor Walters.

research Faculty and students in the school are active in research and scholarship, collaborating with one another and with colleagues from other disciplines to explore a wide range of questions related to media and communication today. Over the past year, grant proposals were submitted to foundations, corporations and government agencies to expand the base of support for projects conducted by both faculty and students. Projects span health communication, media law and policy, history, media industry and society, and more. The results of these projects are presented in both academic and general venues. Numerous students and faculty from the school publish in scholarly journals and attend regional and national conferences, as well as actively share their findings and observations in news articles, blogs and social media outlets. See the following list for many of the faculty publications over the past year.
Mary Junck Research Colloquium Series The Mary Junck Research Colloquium Series was formally established in 2007 to nurture an intellectually vibrant climate with both interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary shades, by scheduling scholarly presentations on diverse topics. The speakers represent various disciplines and units on campus as well as other universities and organizations in the Triangle. The series has been particularly successful in attracting scholars and researchers of national and international renown from within the U.S. and abroad. The series attracts a diverse audience of faculty, graduate students and researchers from around the Triangle.

Health Communication • Doctoral student Sherine El-Toukhy won a grant from the National Science Foundation to support her research on risk and health decision making. • Heidi Hennink-Kaminski and students are working with a National Institutes of Healthfunded research institute at Carolina to develop marketing campaigns to improve participation rates in clinical trials. • Jane Brown is collaborating with researchers at Pennsylvania State University to study the effects of television in remote, rural villages in Vietnam. With a grant from the National Institutes of Health, they are assessing links between the introduction of television and sexual and reproductive health attitudes and behaviors. • Seth Noar is examining the impact that celebrity cases of cancer (i.e. Steve Jobs) have on how people seek information about the disease. One project tracks cancer-related Internet searches in response to major celebrity cancer diagnoses and deaths over the past few years.

Organized by the UNC Center for Media Law and Policy, the campus-wide, day-long event was designed to both celebrate the First Amendment and explore its role in the lives of Carolina students. Students and university community members read from banned books, sang banned music and discussed the importance of each of the rights protected by the First Amendment, the need to be tolerant when others exercise their rights and the public university’s special role as a marketplace of ideas.

UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL Chartered: 1789 Open to students: 1795 Enrollment: 29,390 (18,579 undergraduates) Alumni: 274,167 living in all 50 states and more than 150 countries The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was the nation’s first state university to open its doors and the only public university to award degrees in the 18th century. Today, it 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. Carolina consistently ranks near the top nationally in categories ranging from academic quality to affordability to diversity to engagement to international presence.

which is home to three major research universities and more than 170 companies dedicated to scientific advancement. The Research Triangle is often cited as one of the nation’s most attractive locations to live and work. Chapel Hill, population 57,233, has recently been ranked among the best places to live by Money Magazine and the Most Livable City by a national mayor’s organization. Sports Illustrated has called Chapel Hill the best college town in America. The town’s 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, retail establishments, hiking and biking trails, and many recreational facilities.

INTERNATIONAL The school continually builds its network of international partnerships to help students and faculty engage around the world. Four study abroad programs have been established specifically for our students. They are located at City University in London, Sciences Po in Paris, Catholic University in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and the University of Navarra in Pamplona, Spain. The school is working with the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia, to establish a fifth study abroad program. Faculty members also take advantage of these partnerships. Associate professor and senior associate dean Chris Roush lectured on business journalism at the University of Navarra, and Navarra faculty Natalia Rodríguez Salcedo visited Chapel Hill to speak to classes about European public relations campaigns. Faculty from Sciences Po and City University London attended the J-school’s Multimedia Bootcamp. Two Carolina journalism classes traveled over spring break 2011 to Tec de Monterrey’s Mexico City main campus. Dean Emeritus Richard Cole’s international media class met with the political leaders and visited major media outlets. Associate professor Pat Davison’s multimedia class documented life in Mexico City with the “Reframing Mexico” project at reframingmexico.org. Every year, more than a dozen foreign journalists and professors spend a year at the school as part of the Visiting International Scholars program. They learn about journalism in the U.S., sit in on classes and conduct research. The school hosted groups from the Korean Broadcast Journalist Association for week-long workshops on the media’s role in U.S. politics and elections, and a delegation from the Korea News Editors Association visited for a workshop on new media and technologies in journalism. The school works with the U.S. State Department to host European journalists in the Edward R. Murrow Program, which brings international journalists to America to learn about the U.S. media industry. For the past five years, two UNC journalism students have interned over the summer at china.org.cn, an English-language news organization based in Beijing. China.org.cn sends two employees to Carolina for the spring semester to learn more about journalism in America. The school also sends faculty to Beijing to provide intensive professional education to china.org. cn employees. Students who plan an international experience to further their education can apply for four $2,500 awards from the school. These awards are the Chuck Stone Citizen of the World Award, the Edward Jackson International Travel Award, the Canady International Award and the Robin Clark Experience. This year students used the money to create multimedia pieces about life in Mexico, document aid efforts in western Africa, file reports for WUNC public radio from Egypt following the Arab Spring revolution and assist in the training of journalists in Liberia in readiness for upcoming democratic elections.

[ REFRAMING MEXICO ] UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication students spent their 2011 spring break in Mexico documenting stories of everyday life. In partnership with journalism students at Tec de Monterrey in Mexico City, the students launched the multimedia website “Reframing Mexico” at reframingmexico.org. The Washington Post published the entire project on its website. The project seeks to reframe thinking about Mexico City and offers a different view than the more prevalent media portrayals of Mexico as a hotbed of gang violence, drug trafficking and a struggling economy that produces illegal immigrants. Students developed a range of stories showcasing the heritage, culture, social issues, people and places that capture the complexity of life in one of the largest cities in the world.
[Terri Flagg] Dark Life: Pamela Ortiz defies common stereotypes about darks (goths) in Mexico City, not that she cares what anyone thinks. "I like to be spontaneous and sincere, just be myself; that's why I don't regret anything," she said.
The following are some of the images the students collected for the project. View the stories at reframingmexico.org.
[Vanessa Patchett] To Overcome: People with disabilities face strong social and economic discrimination in Mexico. Luis Antonio Valdez lost his arm after an accident at an industrial laundry facility. “I have many goals, one is to show my children that, in fact, a disabled person can achieve great things,” he said.

Because I am an out-of-state student, paying for school can be especially difficult for me. This gift alleviates part of the burden on my family. More than that, though, this award makes me feel as if I have achieved something worthwhile in the School of Journalism and shows that there are people who believe in my potential as I move forward with my education and career. It is a wonderful feeling to know that I have such support not only from family and friends, but from those who value journalism as well.
