Our school enjoyed a banner year in 2010. I’m especially gratified that our successes involved every part of the J-school community—students, faculty, staff and alumni. For example: • Students won the national championship in collegiate journalism.

• Associate professor Chris Roush was named national journalism teacher of the year by the Scripps Howard Foundation and North Carolina professor of the year by the Carnegie Foundation.

• Staff brought new ideas and uncommon dedication to their support of the school’s expanding programs — making us better at everything we do.

• Alumni and friends set a new record for private giving to the school.

These items alone make it a great year, but this list is far from complete. You’ll learn more about 2010 at the J-school in the pages of this publication.

I announced earlier this year that I made the tough decision to step down as dean effective July 1, 2011. When I came here in 2006, my challenge was to determine how to improve one of the best programs in the nation. My goal was to embrace new technology and the opportunities it offers. When I step down and join the ranks of the faculty, I believe our new dean will inherit a school that is still one of the best — and one that has made the transition to a leadership role in the digital media environment.

In the past five years — together with students, faculty, staff and alumni — we have created a climate of constant innovation and a desire to be the best.

We revamped the curriculum. We created the Reese Felts Digital News

project for news production and research.

We launched an innovative online master’s degree in technology and communication.

We are meeting the challenges of the new media environment. We created a Franklin Street newsroom, added new media courses for public relations and advertising students, and secured funding to begin a studentrun advertising and public relations agency. We have been a leader in the Carnegie-Knight Initiative on the Future of Journalism Education.

We converted the student television production studio to high definition. We partnered with the University to create a high definition studio that allows major networks to interview faculty newsmakers and administrators.

We hired outstanding new faculty. We added new professorships and scholarships for graduate and undergraduate students. We increased grant applications and research funding.

We converted the Knight Chair in Mass Communication to the Knight Chair in Digital Media Economics and added a second Knight Chair in Digital Advertising. We developed the Center for Media Law and Policy.

Together, we have taken the school to new heights, and, from a personal standpoint, you have made my job a pleasure. Thank you for the many ways you support and improve our school.

Thank you,

We created a plan for global education and developed strategic international partnerships. We diversified the faculty.

We were able to do all of this because we have an exceptional community of students, faculty, staff and alumni who work hard to make our school the best.

My sincere gratitude goes to everyone who has welcomed me into their homes and places of business to share their perspectives on how we can remain at the top, those who give faithfully year after year to support our programs, and to all alumni who represent us so well and contribute to our reputation for being the best in the nation.

Jean Folkerts, Dean

Andrew McDowd “Mac” Secrest 1923–2010

Former school professor and South Carolina newspaper editor Andrew McDowd “Mac” Secrest Jr. died April 17, 2010. He was 86. Secrest achieved the status of civil rights crusader using his Cheraw (S.C.) Chronicle to rally against Southern opposition to desegregation in the 1950s and then to champion civil rights in the 1960s.

Despite threats of violence, buckshot through the windows of his house and menacing signs placed in his yard, Secrest unapologetically led the northeastern South Carolina weekly for 15 years and took on segregationists that included Sen. Strom Thurmond.

Secrest went on to sell the Chronicle and taught at the school for five years until 1976. He left to help establish N.C. Central University’s communications program.

“He was a true Southern gentleman who stood up for integration. He was very strong on humanitarian issues,” said Richard Cole, the former dean of the school. “He also was a very warmhearted and giving person who was loved and respected by his students.”

For his courageous work, he received a Nieman Fellowship in 1960. He also served as co-chair of the Community Relations Service (CRS) during the Lyndon B. Johnson administration, focusing on racial disputes in the U.S., particularly the South. The CRS helped bring about the Voting Rights Acts of 1965 and 1966.

Before the Chronicle, Secrest served as an officer in the Navy during World War II. He worked at newspapers in New York and in North Carolina, including The Laurinburg (N.C.) Exchange and The Charlotte News.

The school inducted Secrest into the N.C. Journalism Hall of Fame in 2007.

Andrew McDowd Secrest Jr. was born Sept. 15, 1923 in Monroe, N.C. He graduated from Duke University in 1944 and earned a Ph.D. in history there in 1972. He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Ann Louise Eastman of Concord, N.H. (Excerpted from the Associated Press.)

Chris Roush, associate professor and Walter E. Hussman Sr. Distinguished Scholar in Business Journalism, was named the 2009 journalism teacher of the year in the Scripps Howard Foundation’s National Journalism Awards announced in March 2010. The Carnegie Foundation also named Roush the 2010 North Carolina Professor of the Year.

Roush teaches economics reporting, where his students track real stock portfolios, and business reporting, where students participate in mock news conferences with business students playing corporate CEOs.

Roush named journalism teacher of the year and N.C. professor of the year

“Chris is the kind of faculty member every dean would like to clone,” said Jean Folkerts, UNC journalism dean, in a letter nominating Roush. “He gets excellent student evaluations. His students get great jobs.”

One of Roush’s main goals is to teach students that business journalism is a valuable and exciting field.

“People are affected by business in their lives every day, and they don’t even realize it,” Roush said. “I think my job is to teach students that it’s not boring; it’s about people, and it’s about issues.”

Roush does his best to simulate a real working environment in the classroom. He asks students to call him by his first name and treats them like reporters.

Roush said technology is important for preparing students. He has created blogs and websites for his students and stresses online skills in class.

Roush has written several books on business journalism. His students have gone on to work for news organizations such as The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg News and Reuters. He writes the blog Talking Biz News.

School wins national championship in collegiate journalism The UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication finished first overall in the Intercollegiate Competition of the 50th anniversary of the Hearst Journalism Awards, often called the Pulitzers of college journalism.

The first-place finish resulted from students placing in monthly writing, photojournalism, broadcast and multimedia competitions during the 2009–10 school year. The school placed second nationally in broadcast news, third in photojournalism and second in the multimedia competition. No other school placed in the top three in three of the four overall Hearst competitions.

“This win represents the broad strengths of Carolina journalism,” said Dean Jean Folkerts.

“Our immensely talented students, under the guidance of dedicated faculty members, continue to excel and innovate, and this award recognizes that.”

Alumnus Roberts awarded honorary degree

During the University’s 2010 commencement ceremony, alumnus Gene Roberts was awarded an honorary degree for his contributions to the journalism profession.

An award-winning newspaperman with 53 years in the business, Roberts is one of the most respected journalists in America.

After earning a bachelor’s degree in journalism from UNC in 1954, his dedication to his work took him from writing the farm column “Rambling in Rural Wayne” for his hometown newspaper in Goldsboro to leadership roles at The New York Times and The Philadelphia Inquirer.

He covered the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War for the NYT before becoming the paper’s national editor. He left the NYT in 1972, taking a chance on the struggling Philadelphia Inquirer. During Roberts’ 18 years as executive editor, the Inquirer won 17 Pulitzer Prizes, including two gold medals for public service, the most prestigious of the Pulitzer Prizes for a newspaper.

Roberts left the Inquirer to teach at the University of Maryland, but in 1994 he returned to The New York Times as managing editor. There he spent three years creating and expanding sections, and introducing color to the paper’s famed gray pages. He retired in 1997 and returned to the Philip Merrill College of Journalism at Maryland. He retired from teaching during the 2009–10 academic year.

In 2007, Roberts won a Pulitzer Prize for “The Race Beat,” a book he co-authored on the press’s role in civil rights struggles. He returned to Chapel Hill in October 2010 to take part in a panel discussion of “The Race Beat.” The N.C. Press Association named him its 2008 North Carolinian of the Year. Roberts served as the first president of the school’s board of visitors, now the board of advisers, and is a member of the N.C. Journalism Hall of Fame, which is housed in the school.

Rochelle Riley: 2010 Harvey E. Beech Outstanding Alumna Rochelle Riley, a 1981 J-school graduate, won the 2010 Harvey E. Beech Outstanding Alumna award from the UNC General Alumni Association.

The award, named for the first African American to receive a degree from Carolina, is given each fall during the annual Black Alumni Reunion.

Riley’s commentary on social, political and cultural issues appears in the Detroit Free Press and on her blog (www.rochelleriley.com), and she makes frequent television and radio appearances.

As a journalist, Rochelle writes about government, public education, children aging out of foster care and Michigan’s reading crisis. She has won many state and national honors, including four Michigan Associated Press Editorial Association awards for best column writing and a national Scripps Howard Award. The Michigan Press Association has twice named her Michigan’s best local columnist, and her columns on the text-message scandal involving Detroit’s former mayor were part of the entry that won 1.28 | School of Journalism and Mass Communication

the Free Press the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for local news. She recently received, for the second year in a row, the Detroit Society of Professional Journalists’ first-place award for column writing. She also is the recipient of the 2010 Robert G. McGruder Leadership in Diversity Award from Kent State University and the 2010 State Bar of Michigan Wade H. McCree Award for the Advancement of Justice for her coverage of Detroit city officials, and she was named a 2010 Woman of Excellence by the Michigan Chronicle.

Her debut column in The Courier-Journal of Louisville, Ky., calling for a museum honoring Louisville native Muhammad Ali, helped spur an $80 million campaign to build the Muhammad Ali Center, which opened in 2005.

Rochelle earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism from Carolina in 1981. She has one daughter and resides in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Alumna Best honored as top business leader

Natalie Best was named executive vice president of the Raleigh-based public relations, public affairs and brand communications agency French West Vaughan in September 2010. Best was also recognized as one of Business Leader magazine’s 2010 Movers & Shakers.

She has been a vice president at FWV since 2006 and agency principal since 2009. As executive vice president, Best oversees national and international agency clients such as the Coca-Cola Company, Wrangler, the International Gemological Institute, House-Autry Mills and the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association.

“Natalie’s promotion is extremely well deserved,” said Rick French, FWV Chairman and CEO. “Her hard work, professionalism, knowledge of the marketing industry, and impeccable client and associate relations skills make her an invaluable part of the FWV team. I’m thrilled she’s getting the recognition she deserves in our agency and the community as a whole.”

Best was named one of the 2010 Movers & Shakers based on her high-level performance, leadership, positive impact on others and contributions to the community. Published annually by Business Leader, a monthly magazine providing market intelligence and features on the companies, leaders and business happenings across the Southeast, the Movers & Shakers awards were announced at a September 2010 dinner.

Best joined FWV in 2002 following PR positions with the Charlotte Hornets and the National Basketball Association league office. Beyond her agency responsibilities, she is on the board of the school’s Journalism Alumni and Friends Association, where she serves as a career mentor to students.

She also sits on the board of directors for the Alice Aycock Poe Center, which promotes youth health education, prevention and wellness, and Action for Children North Carolina, an advocacy organization that educates people on child health, safety and education.

Board of Advisers The school’s board of advisers is composed of leading journalists, media professionals and executives committed to helping the school maintain its leadership role in journalism and mass communication education.

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 six supports the students in their studies. This year, the school will hire a Knight Chair in Digital Advertising to make the program even stronger.

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 changes in the industry brought by the Internet, learning new disciplines related to search marketing and social marketing that are growing in revenue and influence. To reflect industry changes, the advertising and public relations programs merged a number of critical courses to capture the new world of the communications business.

Guest speakers included Susan Credle, chief creative officer of Leo Burnett, and Stacy Wall, a leading commercial director. The advertising program fielded a competitive team for the national American Advertising Federation competition and continued an innovative program, Workroom, in which a select group of students developed a new fashion product and campaign for American Eagle Outfitters, and traveled to New York where professionals judged their work.

Students worked with a wide range of clients including the Charlotte Bobcats and Aloft Hotels on professional assignments involving executives from those companies. Student work was honored with gold, silver and bronze awards in the regional Addy competitions.

The Advertising Club holds a symposium every spring that attracts more than 75 students and 15 professionals to discuss career issues. The wide range of guest panelists has included the CEO of McKinney Advertising and an executive with the National Basketball Association.

Blogs Many of the school’s faculty are sharing their expertise and perspective through blogs that cover topics including business news, politics, teaching, editing and service.

Connecting Dean Jean Folkerts keeps students, alumni and professionals up to date on happenings in the school and why it’s important.

Talking Biz News Chris Roush, Walter E. Hussman Sr. Distinguished Scholar in Business Journalism and director of the Carolina Business News Initiative, discusses happenings in the world of business journalism, regularly posting multiple and exclusive news items a day.

Talk Politics Authored by Leroy Towns, professor of the practice, this blog promotes vigorous discussion of media and politics where they intersect as political communication.

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

Career Services

The business journalism program graduated 10 students with a certificate in business journalism in May 2010.

Despite continued hard economic times that roiled the job market, both students and new graduates of the school fared well, relatively speaking, in landing first jobs and coveted internships.

Students in the program interned during 2010 at Bloomberg News, Reuters, CNBC.com, the Triangle Business Journal, Forbes and The Charlotte Observer business desk. In the past year, graduates have accepted reporting positions at Bloomberg, CNBC.com and VentureBeat.com.

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 fifth time in the contest’s six-year existence, a Carolina journalism student has won the competition. The winners in 2009 were senior Andrew Dunn in the professional publication category and senior Matthew Lynley for the student publication category.

The UNC-sponsored College Business Journalism Consortium held its second conference in New York in October 2010 for college students across the country interested in careers in business journalism.

For the second year in a row, a professor from the University of Navarra in Spain visited the program to teach students about business journalism in Europe.

Also, the program unveiled the “Financial Writer’s Stylebook,” authored by associate professors Bill Cloud and Chris Roush, to the U.S. business journalism community in 2010.

For the class of 2010, the most recent job survey showed that 73.9 percent were employed, with 53 percent of those having work in their desired field.

Twenty percent of those responding to the survey had post-graduate internships in their desired field.

Success stories abound for many in the 2010 class.

Among the starting points for those graduates were: ESPN; August Jackson; CNBC; Bloomberg; McKinney; Deloitte; The New Yorker; Denver Broncos; Reuters; Mandt Brothers Productions; mono; 22 Squared; WSOC-TV; Capstrat; Lipman; Red F Marketing; Christian Science Monitor; Gibbs & Soell; and Teach for America.

A range of employers conducted on-campus interviews, largely for summer internships. Among those interviewing students were Bloomberg; Arkansas Democrat-Gazette; Discovery Networks; Ogilvy New York; MLB.com; Exxon; The St. Petersburg Times; American City Business Journals; ESPN; Greensboro News & Record; Sageworks; and The Charlotte Observer.

Students were highly competitive for internships.

Among places students interned were: CMT.com; CNN; McKinney; Ogilvy NY; National Geographic; Details; Cosmopolitan; The Tallahassee Democrat; Octagon; Zimmerman; John Deere; IBM; Star-News; Lincoln Center; NPR; The Golf Channel; The New York Times; Christian Science Monitor; German Press Agency; Qorvis Communications; and The Glover Park Group.

The number of students seeking academic credit for internships continues to grow. For summer 2010, a record 110 students received academic credit for internships, most of which were unpaid. That compared to 76 students getting academic credit for internships in summer 2009.

One of the key upcoming changes for the school’s career services office will be the implementation of a software system to streamline posting of internship and job listings, for both current students and alumni, and to bring online appointment scheduling to students.

The Community Journalism Roadshow turns 10 When I came back to Carolina in January 2001 and launched the Carolina Com-

By Jock Lauterer Director Carolina Community Media Project

munity Media Project, the primary goal was to make free, on-site journalism workshops available to all 190 North Carolina community newspapers. In the spirit of playful adventure, I dubbed it “The Johnny Appleseed Community Journalism Roadshow.”

I estimated it would take 10 years for this ol’ publisher-turned-perfesser to reach all 190.

Jack Lauterer

Silly me.

In this, the 10th summer of the roadshow, I’ve reached only 150 papers — 40 shy of my lofty aim. So there’s plenty of work yet to be done and papers to visit. And since my 401K is now a 201K, I ain’t quittin’ any time soon.

WHAT’S IN A NAME? As to the roadshow’s name, the tradition evolved to add one road warrior each year to the iconic “Johnny Appleseed” handle.

To date, the honorees include: Charles Kuralt (On the Road With…)

James Taylor, (Walkin’ on a Country Road…)

Jack Kerouac (On the Road…)

John Steinbeck (Travels with Charlie) Willie Nelson (On the Road Again..)

Johnny Cash (I Been Everywhere, Man…) And when Raeford publisher Robert “Bubba” Dickson suggested ‘possum for lunch when I came to his paper, that led to the “Possum-Dodgin” addition.

So if you put the whole shebang together it reads like this (take a deep breath): The Johnny Appleseed, Charles Kuralt, James Taylor, Jack Kerouac, John Steinbeck, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, “Possum-Dodgin” Community Journalism Roadshow.

(Below) I admire an edition of the Alleghany News in Sparta, N.C., with intern Hannah Smith and editor Coby LaRue.

(Above) I pose in 2005 with happy staffers of the Mt. Airy News sporting the roadshow’s trademark Pac-Man headgear I use as an icebreaker.

2.04 | School of Journalism and Mass Communication

Yes, that’s right. We need two more honorees to make 10. Any suggestions? At year eight we ran out of ideas and breath, so we just reverted to Mr. Appleseed for our namesake.

FROM MURPHY TO MANTEO Since the first roadshow in summer 2001, I’ve led workshops literally “from Murphy to Manteo.” (That’s from the Cherokee Scout to the Outer Banks Sentinel.)

I’ve been to papers as small as Ken Ripley’s redoubtable 2,000-circulation weekly Spring Hope Enterprise (where I gave my pitch to one lone intern in a converted darkroom).

I’ve brought my community journalism dog ’n‘ pony show to several of the state’s major metros where a roomful of glum staffers dutifully sat through my rant.

The most unusual newspaper I visited was James McDougald’s Maxton Times, housed in and run in conjunction with his laundromat. Repeat, laundromat.

The most unusual roadshow visit was with Al Carson of the Oxford Public

Along the way I’ve met the legends of North Carolina community journalism…

Ledger, who, instead of listening to my stump speech, regaled me with a two-hour comprehensive essay on where to find and how to judge the state’s best hot dogs.

Along the way I’ve met the Yam Man of Tabor City (a marching sweet potato in the annual Yam Festival) and a human newspaper in the form of the Mint Hill Times life-size marching newspaper (also used in parades), eaten mind-numbingly good barbecue in Lexington, driven through a rainbow during a summer downpour in Scotland Neck, and been given a kiss on the top of my bald head by veteran editor Sammie Carter of the Wallace Enterprise.

Not one to just observe, over the past decade I’ve helped cover two U.S. Open golf tournaments for the good folks at The Pilot of Southern Pines … and the annual barbecue and bluegrass festival for Jeff Byrd’s crew at the Tryon Daily Bulletin.

Along the way I’ve met the legends of North Carolina community journalism: Pulitzer Prize-winning Ashley B. Futrell Sr. of “Little” Washington, Pulitzer Prize-winning Horace Carter of the Tabor City Tribune, Hoover Adams of the Dunn Daily Record, Virginia Rucker of the Forest City Daily Courier, Sarah Campbell of the Davie County Enterprise-Record, Sammie Carter of the Wallace Enterprise, Margaret Harper of the State Port Pilot.

I’ve also taken the roadshow to spunky little indie upstart papers with the grit and gall to attempt a start-up in the 2000 s: the Smoky Mountain News in Waynesville, The Citizen of Garner, the Roberson Journal in Lumberton, the Surry Messenger in Mt. Airy — and right in my own backyard, the Citizen of Carrboro.

And there have been places that have given back to the ol’ perfesser — from mugs to umbrellas to ball caps — even an old photo enlarger from the Daily Southerner of Tarboro. But my most prized thank you gift was a “pig” (you old-timers will know what I’m talking about here) — a doorstop-weight hunk of printer’s lead left over from old hot-type days — awarded to me following my roadshow visit at the Wallace Enterprise.

There have also been stops that have been sentimental journeys: to the Alleghany News of Sparta where I was a green-as-grass 22-year-old editor fresh out of Chapel College; to the Transylvania Times of Brevard where I interned one college summer and fell in love with a local girl and local journalism; to the Wake Weekly of Wake Forest where Bob and Peggy Allen hired me for the summer of ’84 (after Orville Campbell had fired me for the second time). I slept on a cot in their screened-in porch and became an honorary Allen boy.

I’ve only had one speed bump on the roadshow: when I called to offer a workshop to the publisher of one of the Heartland papers, he hung up on me.

Guess he didn’t like my haircut.

In this, the 10th summer of the roadshow, I’ve been to Alain Lillie’s string of Charlotte weeklies and Charles Broadwell’s venerable Fayetteville Observer (the

oldest continuously-running paper in the state). Who knows? Your paper might be next.

So let the roadshow roll on. Here’s to another 10 years.

School launches Reese Felts Digital Newsroom The UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication opened the Reese Felts Digital Newsroom in fall 2010 and launched an experimental digital news and information and audience research website on Nov. 1. Reesenews.org, which is updated daily, features storytelling across disciplines of text, photo, video, audio and information graphics. The newsroom is designed to help news organizations adapt to the new media environment.

The initiative produces and distributes news for a variety of audiences.

The newsroom differs from digital media efforts at other universities because it functions as a research center that studies products, audiences and communities that form around the news.

The flexibility to test a wide range of theories and share the results is central to the project, which is funded with a $4.1 million gift from the estate of Carolina journalism alumnus Reese Felts.

“Traditional content, business and distribution models will not sustain quality journalism in the future,” said Jean Folkerts, dean of the school. “Our challenge is to work with Carolina’s faculty and students on experimentation and research that will light the way on a new path for the industry.”

CarnegieKnight Initiative on the Future of Journalism Education

The UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication works with other top journalism schools in the Carnegie-Knight Initiative on the Future of Journalism Education to help adapt journalism education to the challenges of the news industry.

The Carnegie-Knight Initiative 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 initiative also includes Carolina’s participation in News21, an experimental, online news endeavor.

During the past two springs and summers, Carolina journalism students and faculty members led the experimental reporting project “Powering a Nation,” which explores U.S. energy use and its relationship to the country’s demographics.

The 2010 team reported on topics that included nuclear power and the most recent oil spill in the Gulf

of Mexico, among others. 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.

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

Carolina News Studio

Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the Carolina Community Media Project, led by founding director Jock Lauterer, continued to focus on building strong communities across the state by strengthening local newspapers and their websites through consultation and workshops.

The Carolina News Studio is a partnership between the school and the Office of University Relations funded by the University’s provost office.

The studio provides faculty and administrators opportunities to share their expertise with national and international TV networks, cable or local TV stations, and radio stations.

Lauterer visited at least a dozen more N.C. community papers with free, on-site journalism workshops this summer, bringing the total of the annual “Johnny Appleseed Community Journalism Roadshow” to 150 papers, literally from Murphy to Manteo.

In addition, the Community Media Project launched the Northeast Central Durham Community VOICE, a lab newspaper and website for the inner-city neighborhood known to the local police as “the Bull’s Eye” due to the high incidence of crime. The VOICE staff includes journalism students from UNC and N.C. Central University who mentor the urban youth staff of the VOICE, who were recruited during free, on-site photography lessons offered by the project last summer. The VOICE partnership includes the City of Durham, and local neighborhood, church and civic leaders. Support for the VOICE is provided by a grant from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation. Scientific Properties of Durham provides a rent-free newsroom in the Golden Belt building; Time Warner Cable provides free wireless Internet; and printing is funded by The Daily Tar Heel. The VOICE produces bi-weekly online editions (durhamvoice.org) and monthly print editions throughout each semester. In its inaugural year, the VOICE received the following awards: • The Office of the Provost Engaged Scholarship Award, awarded to the Carolina Community Media Project “in recognition of outstanding service to the state of North Carolina through the Northeast Central Durham Community VOICE,” UNC-Chapel Hill, April 2010.

• The Innovative Outreach to Scholastic Journalism, second place, awarded by the Scholastic Journalism Division, “in recognition of an outstanding program that promotes interest and training in scholastic journalism at the K–12 level,” AEJMC, Denver, August 2010.

The Community Media Project entered the fifth 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 the project helped create, plan, administer and teach at the ninth 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.

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.

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

Center for Media Law and Policy In 2010, the UNC Center for Media Law and Policy sponsored its second annual campus-wide First Amendment Day celebration on Sept. 30. Funded with a grant from the Liberty Tree Initiative, First Amendment Day included a dozen 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 keynote speaker was Frank LoMonte, executive director of the Student Press Law Center in Arlington, Va. The center also brought several nationally prominent media law experts to campus. Josh Silver, CEO and president of Free Press, gave a public lecture on how federal government policy is affecting journalism.

The center joined with the First Amendment Law Review, which is published in the UNC School of Law, to sponsor an all-day symposium about Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, an important recent U.S. Supreme Court decision on campaign finance law. The keynote speaker for that event was renowned First Amendment attorney Floyd Abrams.

The Center for Media Law and Policy is a collaborative initiative of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication and the School of Law at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Now in its fourth year, the center is a forum for study and debate about the important media law and policy issues facing North Carolina and the nation.

Distance Education

Editing and Graphic Design

The school launched the Master of Arts in Technology and Communication, a unique, online master’s degree focused on interactive media, the Internet, digital economics and other issues reshaping journalism and mass communication in the 21st century. The first class will enroll in August 2011.

Editing and graphic design courses were merged into a single specialization when the school’s curriculum was revamped to reflect changes in the industry. By combining editing and graphic design, the school produces well-rounded journalists with the ability to produce complete news packages.

The MATC is the only fully online master’s degree in journalism and mass communication offered in the UNC system — and the only curriculum of its kind among the school’s peer programs nationwide. It represents a significant expansion of the school’s graduate curriculum and has generated much interest among school alumni.

In 2010, assistant professor Terence Oliver joined the school’s graphic design faculty. In spring 2011, he will introduce a course in motion graphics using Adobe After Effects, software that is used extensively in the profession.

The program is aimed at working professionals and will prepare current and aspiring managers for leadership positions in journalism, advertising, public relations and internal communication. All classes are taught online, but students will travel to Chapel Hill twice: for a weekend orientation before starting the program and for a weeklong summer residency after completing the first year. Courses are taught by school faculty with expertise in emerging digital media areas.

The 30-credit program consists of nine three-credit courses and a three-credit final project (non-traditional thesis).

The school also was selected to be one of three pilot student clubs for the Online News Association (ONA). The UNC chapter is led by assistant professor Don Wittekind. The clubs are experiments in sharing resources, expertise and innovation, and cultivating the future of digital media. In October, eight students traveled to the ONA’s national convention in Washington, D.C. Editing and graphic design classes produced Earth and Sky, a magazine for Native American young adults.

Students in the specialization participated in News21 during summer 2010. Students also accepted internships at organizations that include The New York Times.

Electronic Communication Electronic communication students continue to excel in regional and national competitions that recognize the best in student radio and television news. “Carolina Week,” the school’s twice-weekly live television newscast, earned its seventh collegiate Emmy award. “Carolina Connection,” the weekly live radio newscast, took first place in the radio newscast categories of three major competitions: the National Broadcasting Society, the Broadcast Education Association and the Society for Professional Journalists (SPJ).

Three students placed in the top five in the Hearst national competition for radio and television reporting. Ashley Lopez took second place for radio reporting, Will Gorham Michaels took third place for radio reporting, and Bethany Tuggle took fifth place for TV news reporting. Aggregate scores propelled UNC to a second-place finish in the broadcast competition and helped the school to a first-place

Graduate Program Nine doctoral and 21 master’s students graduated from the school’s graduate program since May 2010.

Doctoral graduates accepted professorships at universities including Appalachian State, Auburn, Bradley, DePaul, Louisiana State, Ohio and Texas Tech. One graduate accepted a position as a postdoctoral research fellow at The George Washington University School of Media and Public Affairs.

overall finish. In addition, Bethany Tuggle won a silver medal for best on-campus anchor/reporter in the New York Festivals International Television & Film Awards and placed first in the nation in SPJ for in-depth reporting.

Students from the radio and television news programs picked up first-place awards in six categories of the National Broadcasting Society competition; 10 others were recognized as national finalists. Individual students earned six first-place awards and 11 top-three finishes overall in the SPJ regional competition. The Broadcast Education Association recognized our students’ excellent broadcast news work with five top-three place‑ ments. UNC also had eight finalists in the College Broadcasters competition.

Collectively, the TV program, the radio program and individual students have received more than 60 awards in the past year and more than 500 regional and national awards since 2000, the year the TV newscast began. The radio program became part of the school’s efforts in 2004.

New high-definition equipment in the television studio and control room gives students the opportunity to work and learn in a state-of-the-art production facility. Viewers in a 16-county area of north central North Carolina can see the TV news program on Time Warner Cable, and WCHL airs the radio program on Saturday mornings. Both shows are available at carolinaweek.org.

Students graduating from the master’s program have taken jobs at organizations including the Gallup Organization, BIA/Kelsey, Becker Communications, Booz Allen Hamilton, Walker Marketing, RTC Relationship Marketing. Two students started their own company, MOB Social Media.

Other students in the program completed internships with organizations and newspapers that include the Wilmington Star-News, WUNC, GlaxoSmithKline, China Internet Information Center, SAS, The New York Times and the Carolina Alumni Review, among others.

Several graduate students helped produce the News21 multimedia project “Powering a Nation” during spring and summer 2010.

Students contributed at every level of the project, including reporting, photography, videography, design and programming.

In fall 2010, associate professor Michael Hoefges became the doctoral program director, replacing associate professor Rhonda Gibson, who became academic director of the Master of Arts in Technology and Communication program.

The graduate program welcomed 31 new students in fall 2010. In addition to students from across the U.S., international students from France, South Korea, Switzerland and Thailand were part of this year’s incoming class. The 14th class of Roy H. Park Fellows entered the school in fall 2010. The Triad Foundation generously funds the Park Fellowships, given to entering doctoral and 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.

or global. We need only look to the nation’s capital, and in our own backyard to find sensitive issues involving diversity and education.

The J-school continues to make progress in the area of diversity faculty hiring. Four years ago, 10 women and three minorities were among the full-time faculty in the school. Since then nine women and minorities were hired. By planning and taking action on diversity hiring opportunities, Dean Jean Folkerts recruited and hired highly qualified tenure-track minorities for full-time faculty positions in the school.

Four years have passed since implementation of the University’s Diversity Plan that outlines measurable diversity goals. According to the 2009–10 UNC-Chapel Hill Diversity Plan Report, “faculty racial/ethnic diversity remain largely unchanged and continues to be among the most daunting challenges ahead for the University.”

Chancellor Holden Thorp emphasized the need for making diversity a priority. He wrote, “We need new ideas, innovative strategies and continued attentiveness if we are to achieve our vision of a diverse and inclusive university.”

University-wide, faculty diversity has lagged behind the racial, ethnic and gender diversity of the staff and student body. Data from the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment shows that white males and females make up 91 percent of full professors and 81 percent of all faculty members. Women represent 42 percent of the entire faculty.

For the 2009 academic year, 19 (40 percent) women were among the 47 full-time faculty in the J-school.

Nine (19 percent) of the full-time faculty represented racial or ethnic minorities. There were 28 lecturers — 7 women and 21 men. The school’s staff includes 14 (50 percent) women and 14 (50 percent) men. Four of the staff members are minorities.

Seventy-nine percent of J-school undergraduates were white, 6.9 percent were African American, 5 percent were Latino, 4.3 percent were Asian American, 0.4 percent were Native American and 4 percent were other. The graduate student population was 69 percent white, 11.9 percent Asian American, 5 percent African American, 5 percent Latino and 7 percent other. School advertising and outreach continues to recruit for diversity.

In addition to supporting University programs, J-school faculty and staff direct and support successful programs to recruit, retain and graduate students. The programs listed below also provide public service, engaged scholarship and support diversity goals.

Heelprint Communications

ibiblio

Heelprint Communications is a strategic communications agency completely run by students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Founded in 2009 by students Cecilia Gomes, Megan Carriker, Amy Dobrzynski and Sabrina Wood, the agency emerged out of collaboration between UNC’s Public Relations Student Society of America chapter and the Ad Club.

ibiblio, a joint effort of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication and the School of Information and Library Science, is a contributor-run digital library and archive that helps people who want to share information freely and openly. More than 18 years ago, ibiblio, then Sunsite, was one of the first Internet servers created.

In its inaugural semester, Heelprint took on four clients — York House Press, Aasha, Blinkness and Orange County Partnership to End Homelessness — and hired a staff of more than 65 students.

In fall 2010, Heelprint helped organize and promote the UNC Center for Media Law and Policy’s second annual First Amendment Day. While most staff members are advertising or public relations majors in the school, Heelprint Communications is open to any student who wishes to serve the Chapel Hill community through creative and strategic marketing.

In 2010, ibiblio received $50,000 from the Beal Fund of the Triangle Community Foundation on behalf of Lulu.com. Lulu.com is an open publishing resource that helps authors distribute their work for profit and helps buyers find the content they need. The gift was made to support ibiblio’s continued growth as one of the Internet’s largest public libraries. ibiblio director Paul Jones received a 2010 IBM Faculty Award of $29,000. The awards are competitive international awards that recognize full-time professors who have made significant contributions in their fields. Jones was one of 95 award recipients worldwide and one of two recipients from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Patrick Dreher, chief domain scientist for cloud computing at the Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI), was the other.

Jones co-chaired the 2010 World Wide Web Conference — WWW2010 — held in Raleigh April 26-30. The conference aims to provide the world a premier forum for discussion and debate about the evolution of the Web, the standardization of its associated technologies and the impact of those technologies on society and culture. ibiblio hosts more than 2,500 collections — more than 18 terabytes of data. It serves more than 16 million requests per day. New collaborations for ibiblio include INTRAHealth, open source for public health, and Open Library and Open Content Alliance, which aim to digitize and make downloadable every book that is in the public domain, among others.

Among the material ibiblio hosts are Project Gutenburg, a free book archive; etree.org, where fans of tape-friendly bands share concert music; information about charities and nonprofits in North Carolina and worldwide; video documentaries of folk practice; educational sites and more. ibiblio also provides stable, continuous online streaming for six North Carolina-based nonprofit radio stations, including UNC’s WXYC 89.3 FM.

Las Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo and the Search for Identity searchforidentitydocumentary.com Professor Charlie Tuggle is producing a 60-minute documentary film — Las Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo and the Search for Identity — to raise awareness about the repercussions from Argentina’s “Dirty War” and its on-going cultural, social, political, ethical, human rights and economic effects.

Between 1976 and 1983, at least 10,000, and some estimate as many as 30,000, dissidents of the military dictatorship in Argentina were kidnapped, tortured and killed during the Dirty War. In Argentina today, there is a movement underway headed by a group called Las Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo — The Grandmothers of May Plaza. These women are dedicated to finding their missing grandchildren, the babies who were taken from pregnant women or new mothers during the Dirty War. The women were captured and murdered and their babies were given to supporters of the military regime. Now in their 30 s, these lost grandchildren have no knowledge of their past or of their true identities. Las Abuelas is trying to change that.

Tuggle’s project is grounded in the search for identity, and the moral of the story is that the right to identity is a fundamental human right. Through direct interviews with the grandmothers, the found grandchildren and other members of their families and communities, the film seeks to tell the story as it is still unfolding and bring the historical and cultural context needed to understand the impact of the crisis.

The documentary is intended for national and international distribution, and will be designed for a general audience and for use in secondary schools and colleges.

The project includes companion web features and interactive pieces to tell more about the story and the project. It includes an interactive map showing the sites of the detention centers where prisoners were held during the Dirty War, supplemental video and photos of the project and news coverage. It also includes an interactive timeline of important events related to the Dirty War.

Information Technology The school’s information technology team reorganized during the past year to focus on a simple, unified technical infrastructure for the school. David Alexander assumed the role of IT director in January 2010; David Whitehead became a systems specialist; and Donald Sizemore rejoined the school to perform desktop and general support.

The IT team completed a migration of the school’s faculty and staff to UNC’s Microsoft Exchange e-mail and calendaring environment, and is reconfiguring internal services to use centralized campus logins for desktop access, network file storage and specialized software. Further, the team is cutting expensive licensing costs by making use of the nascent campus Virtual Computer Lab project, which makes specialized software available to school students on any networked computer — not merely in the school’s computer labs.

The school’s Reese Felts Digital Newsroom features state-of-the-art Apple Macintosh student desktops, digital video editing workstations and high-speed fiber-optic data connections. The newly renovated Halls of Fame room boasts a new projection system and two touch-driven Macintosh presentation displays.

The school’s Macintosh users received operating system upgrades to the latest version of OS X Snow Leopard, and four graphics labs received hardware updates during the past year.

The school’s server room’s improved air conditioning allows increased server capacity, and the school purchased an additional storage array for better data backups. The University’s Information Technology Services office recently upgraded its network hardware to gigabit capacity throughout Carroll Hall, and core router upgrades on campus have limited network errors by better compartmentalizing the campus network.

Interdisciplinary Health Communication The Interdisciplinary Health Communication (IHC) program reached new levels of prominence in digital media this year. IHC certificate students took their class discussions online with a new student-run blog called “Upstream.” They envisioned the blog as a vehicle to start conversations about how to get to the source of health problems “upstream” rather than continuing to fight unsuccessfully against the current. Students are responsible for selecting topics and posting comments five days a week. Check it out at upstreamdownstream.org.

Other IHC highlights for the year: • Two graduate students earned the graduate certificate in Interdisciplinary Health Communication. Emily Brostek and Mohamed Jalloh were the first students to earn a master’s degree in public health from the Department of Health Education and Health Behavior and also the IHC certificate.

• Five additional doctoral and master’s students enrolled in the IHC certificate program for a total of 15 students from four different academic units.

• IHC certificate students and affiliated faculty presented research on message design and communication campaigns related to HPV vaccine, eating disorders, adolescent sexual health and health communication education at three national conferences, including the Kentucky University Conference on Health Communication, Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication and the Centers for Disease Control’s National Conference on Health Communication, Marketing and Media.

• The school announced the launch of a new master’s in mass communication track in interdisciplinary health communication.

Latijam

M.A./J.D. Dual Degree

Latino Journalism and Media at the University of North Carolina (Latijam) is a new school-wide project dedicated to promote and practice fair and competent local reporting about Latino life in North Carolina and beyond.

In conjunction with the UNC School of Law, the school offers a dual degree in media law that allows students to earn both a master’s degree and a law degree in approximately four years. This is one year less than it would ordinarily take to earn both degrees separately. The program — the only dual degree at the graduate level offered by the school — is focused for students who want to practice media law, work professionally in mass communication with a legal emphasis, or perhaps pursue doctoral studies in media law and policy.

Directed by professor Lucila Vargas, the project is carried out through a four-pillar strategy that addresses needs in distinct areas: journalism, research, curriculum, and engagement and public service. Latijam’s website, latijam.jomc.unc.edu, launched in August 2010. It’s a bilingual site with four components, one for each of the project’s pillars.

Through its website, Latijam publishes student-produced stories about Latinos in North Carolina. This component grew out of Carolina del Norte, an earlier school project. What is new is that Latijam publishes stories written in both English and Spanish. All stories are free to access and open to publication by other media.

The core of Latijam’s curricular pillar is the Undergraduate Certificate Program in Latino Journalism and Media. This interdisciplinary program is sponsored by the school, the UNC Department of Romance Languages and Literatures, and the UNC Department of English and Comparative Literature through its Latina/o Studies Minor and Program.

Offered for the first time this fall, the certificate enhances students’ educational experience by preparing them to live and work in bilingual and multicultural environments. The program provides students with a knowledge base about U.S. Latinos and their media. It also equips them with translation and Spanishlanguage composition skills. Certificate students will improve their proficiency in the Spanish language as well as their ability to effectively communicate with Latino audiences. The certificate will be noted in the graduates’ transcripts, adding value to their degree and offering an advantage in the current competitive job market.

Latijam’s research pillar aims to support the study of Latino journalism and media in North Carolina and the region. In addition to offering library resources and useful links, the website showcases studies on the topic that are carried out by school students and faculty. It also brings together the work of authors who, although not affiliated with the J-school, focus on journalism and media in North Carolina.

Latijam also compiles a regional directory of newspapers and radio and television stations that cater to Latinos in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. Historically, these states had little or no Latino population, but experienced rapid Latino population growth in the last two decades. Available free of charge through Latijam’s website, the directory has a search engine that allows users to easily locate media outlets.

Through its engagement and public service pillar, Latijam produces a youth radio show in Spanish. Radio Latijam provides a means for Latino teens to play music, voice opinions, learn about topics that concern them and inform other teens.

It offers valuable service-learning opportunities to both Latino youth and UNC students taking service-learning courses.

Radio Latijam is among a handful of youth radio shows in North Carolina where people can hear Latino youth voices. It airs every Friday from 5–6 p.m. on WCOM LP FM 103.5, Carrboro, North Carolina’s community radio station, and is also streamed live on wcomfm.org.

Admission to the dual degree program in media law is highly selective and requires that applicants be accepted to both the UNC gradate school and the law school. The program is designed to admit one or two students per year and currently has four students enrolled. Two of these students are pursing professional track master’s degrees along with their law degrees, and two are in the school’s mass communication track for their master’s degrees.

The first two dual degree students in media law are expected to graduate in spring 2011.

Recent master’s program graduate Lisa Hoppenjans (M.A. ’10) earned her law degree at Duke University while completing her master’s degree at the school and currently is clerking for a federal judge on the United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

Medical and Science Journalism Program In 2010, students in the medical and science journalism program worked on a variety of projects for North Carolina Public Television and other media. Second-year students Carrie Gann and Anne Johnson helped produce and write two television reports on alternative energy for “North Carolina Now,” UNC-TV’s news and information program.

Both students also spent the summer of 2010 working on video-related activities. Gann interned at CNN’s medical news division in Atlanta. Johnson produced a YouTube video for the North Carolina Psychoanalytic Foundation that explained the uses of psychoanalysis. In fall 2010, Stephanie SoucherayGrell and Kelly Izlar entered the medical and science journalism program as first-year master’s students.

In spring 2010, a documentary entitled “Environmental Heroes” aired in prime time on North Carolina Public Television. The documentary profiled three North Carolinians who made extraordinary efforts to protect the natural environment.

Students in Tom Linden’s science documentary television course produced three pieces that were the centerpiece of the documentary. Linden served as executive producer along with local independent producers Blair Pollock and Jim Sander.

In fall 2010, Linden, Sander, UNC-TV videographer Mike Oniffrey and UNC medical student Andrew Vanderveer completed post-production on a sequel to “Environmental Heroes” that will air on North Carolina Public Television.

Also in 2010, Linden’s book, “The New York Times Reader: Health & Medicine,” was published by CQ Press as part of their Times College series. The book is a compendium of the best of the Times’ medical and health reporting, along with a primer of various genres of medical writing. The book features interviews with five Times reporters.

Audrey Hill, who completed her master’s degree in spring 2010, assisted in the project.

Mentoring School alumni play an important role in students’ education and career preparation. Alumni help students make connections and learn more about their desired careers by participating in networking events, trips and online forums.

Each semester, the school offers a networking trip to a major U.S. city for students to gain insights into careers and the job market. Selected students visit with professionals in their workplaces and attend a reception where they make personal connections with school alumni.

During the 2010 spring break trip to New York City, students visited alumni at Ketchum, Bloomberg, The New York Times, Google, the United Nations, Sports Illustrated, CBS, Edelman, MTV, Time Inc. and other media outlets.

The school hosted a reception at Brother Jimmy’s, a popular gathering place for J-school alumni.

For fall break 2010, students traveled to Washington, D.C., and met with alumni at The Washington Post, Voice of America, Ogilvy Public Relations, USA Today and National Geographic, among others. A reception was held at the National Press Club.

In summer 2010, the school launched a new section on the school’s website to serve as a one-stop resource for the fall and spring break trips. It includes student and alumni testimonials, frequently asked questions, student applications and alumni interest forms. Check it out at jomc.unc.edu/networkingtrips.

Students who participate in the networking trips pay $150 toward the cost of flights and lodging. Gifts from alumni help offset the cost, but the school is working to broaden the base of support to remove any financial obstacle for students who wish to take advantage of these trips.

The school’s Journalism Alumni and Friends Association (JAFA) hosts networking and advising events for students. In November 2010, several alumni returned to the school to participate in a career fair. Professionals in a variety of fields offered perspectives about their businesses and what students should expect when entering the workforce after graduation.

Students and alumni interact virtually through the school’s social networking website, J-link (jomc.unc.edu/jlink).

First Amendment Day On Sept. 30, 2010, Carolina celebrated First Amendment Day with a campus-wide, daylong event designed to celebrate the First Amendment and explore its role in the lives of Carolina students.

Students and others 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.

First Amendment Day was organized by the UNC Center for Media Law and Policy, a collaboration between the School of Journalism and Mass Communication and the School of Law.

Philosopher and political activist Noam Chomksy signs books after a Q&A session with students during First Amendment Day.

First Amendment Day was made possible by a grant from the Liberty Tree Initiative. The Liberty Tree Initiative is an informal coalition of educators, journalists, librarians, artists and authors with a shared interest in building aware‑ ness of the First Amendment through education and information. The goal is to bring enlightening and thought-provoking programs to college campuses across the country.

The Liberty Tree Initiative campus program is made possible by the support of the McCormick Foundation, the First Amendment Center, ASNE, the Newseum and the Brechner Center.

Multimedia The multimedia specialization prepares students for the news and information industry by integrating computer programming with storytelling. Students learn how to build websites, program in HTML and Adobe Flash, and work with content management systems. In multimedia classes, students learn the fundamentals of multimedia design, including elements of design, principles of website usability and mobile web design.

Using Flash, multimedia students created immersive, interactive web experiences for Discovery Education.

Multimedia students provided programming skills and created interactive graphics for UNC’s News21 project, “Powering a Nation.” Of the eight other News21 incubators, UNC’s is the only one where students do all of the programming. Several multimedia students are working in the Reese Felts Digital Newsroom that launched in fall 2010.

Assistant professor Laura Ruel was asked by Carnegie-Knight Initiative leaders to conduct usability and eyetracking research on all News21 projects created during summer 2010.

Recent graduates have taken jobs and internships at ESPN.com, Roanoke.com and MSNBC.com.

N.C. Scholastic Media Association

Park Library

The principal activities of the N.C. Scholastic Media Association (NCSMA) are a statewide contest and critique service for high school journalists in the spring, an annual institute in summer and regional workshops in the fall.

The Park Library was a busy, vibrant place in 2010.

Undergraduate and graduate students streamed in, making use of the space for studying, working on projects in small groups, and keeping up with friends on Facebook and e-mail. Visitors were permitted to bring beverages and snacks — a popular change in the library.

In 2010, NCSMA’s fall regional workshops were held in six locations across the state — Asheville, Boone, Chapel Hill, Greenville, Charlotte and Greensboro.

More than 1,000 students typically attend these statewide workshops.

The summer N.C. Scholastic Media Institute provided four days of intense instruction in yearbook, newspaper, broadcast, literary magazine, design, advising and photography for students and teachers from across the state.

NCSMA continues to offer summer graduate-level courses in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Funding for tuition and lodging is available to N.C. high school journalism teachers through NCSMA’s Journalism Education Fellowship Program. A new course was launched in summer 2010, “Teaching Online News in the Secondary School.” The other course, “Desktop Publishing and Design in the Secondary School,” offers instruction in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign, plus design principles and teaching methods. A self-paced study course, “Journalism Education in the Secondary School,” is offered online for N.C. high school journalism teachers. Teachers may take up to nine months to complete the online course.

North Carolina continues to participate in the Journalism Education Association’s Mentoring Program, which pairs retired scholastic journalism advisers with new ones in their geographic areas. Mentor Martha Rothwell, former board member of N.C. Scholastic Media Advisers Association, was awarded National Scholastic Press Association’s Pioneer Award for 2010.

South Iredell High School journalist Molly Hudson was named the 2010 Rachel Rivers-Coffey North Carolina High School Journalist of the Year and was awarded a $2,000 scholarship given by the NCSMA and funded by the N.C. Press Foundation. Alternates were Olivia Nastasi of Ravenscroft High in Raleigh and Jessica Tobin of West Henderson High in Hendersonville, both winning $500 scholarships.

Beth Lail, adviser at Statesville High, and Phyllis Cooper, adviser at A.C. Reynolds High in Asheville, received NCSMA’s 2010 Kay Phillips Distinguished Service Award.

Library director Stephanie Willen Brown offered a variety of patron-oriented services, teaching 39 classes to more than 600 students. Course topics ranged from using library resources for research, managing articles with the citation-management tool RefWorks, and demonstrating professional and personal uses of Twitter. Brown and her staff answered hundreds of questions from patrons, covering topics such as how to print and how to find resources on the library website. Brown conducted more than 200 appointments on using the library to support academic research.

School alumna Megan Garrett ’08 joined the Park Library as a full-time assistant in March. She added hundreds of items to the catalog this summer, including books and DVDs. Browse the new book titles at bit.ly/ParkNewBooks. The library began actively circulating items from its collection and from the University of North Carolina collection of some 6 million volumes. School students and faculty checked out 3,200 books from the Park Library last year.

Brown spent the summer redesigning the library’s website — parklibrary.jomc.unc.edu. The site’s primary goal is to enhance student access to important library resources. The site saw 20,000 visitors in the past year.

The library created book displays to commemorate First Amendment Day, Black History Month and P.J. O’Rourke’s Park Lecture. Additionally, Brown created signs of quotes about the First Amendment for display throughout the building to celebrate First Amendment Day. The library is active in both physical and virtual space.

Brown tweets for the library at @JoMCParkLib, and the library attracts many check-ins at the locationbased Foursquare website. Photos of the library, its staff, and recent exhibits are available on the library’s Facebook site at bit.ly/ParkLibFacebook.

The Park Library serves the school’s students, faculty, staff and visitors.

Photojournalism

Professional Education

The photojournalism specialization provides students with skills in still photography and audio/ video gathering to tell compelling stories.

The school’s professional education program organized seminars and workshops addressing a wide range of topics.

In 2010, photojournalism students brought home third place in the Hearst Journalism Awards program’s intercollegiate photography competition.

John Adkisson, Jessey Dearing, Courtney Potter and Arkasha Stevenson all placed in the competition.

Adkisson placed first in the Portrait/Personality, Feature and “Personal Vision” category.

In May 2010, 19 students traveled to Little Switzerland, N.C., and produced a diverse collection of stories that document life in and around the small mountain town as part of the seventh annual Carolina Photojournalism Workshop. Situated at the edge of Pisgah National Forest, the area surrounding Little Switzerland boasts scenic vistas, ancient forests, artisans and more. To view the project, visit carolinaphotojournalism.org/cpjw/2010.

Assistant professor Chad A. Stevens taught at the Mountain Workshops — a multimedia workshop organized by Western Kentucky University to guide mid-career photographers to produce content for a photo exhibit, several multimedia productions and a book of 100-plus pages — in October 2010. Student Caitlyn Greene earned a grant to attend the workshop in Elizabethtown, Ky., and three other photojournalism students were accepted to participate.

The UNC chapter of the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) hosted a sports photography workshop in November, curated the 37th Frame exhibit and continued to invite prominent visual journalists to speak as part of the PhotoNight series. PhotoNight speakers in 2010 included Brian Storm of MediaStorm and National Geographic photographer Sam Abell, among others.

Photojournalism graduates and students have taken jobs and internships at the Los Angeles Times, The (Portland) Oregonian and Apple.

Phil Bennett, former managing editor of The Washington Post and a professor at the Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke University, joined students and faculty for a discussion of the challenges and ethical issues presented by the post-9/11 security environment at home and abroad.

Chris Roush, director of the Carolina Business News Initiative, led “Getting Started in Business News,” a conference for university students interested in a career in business journalism. The program, which included a keynote address from Allan Sloan, senior editor-at-large for Fortune magazine, was held during fall break at the City University of New York Graduate School of Journalism.

The school hosted the American Association of Advertising Agencies (4A’s), the national trade association representing the advertising agency business in the United States, for a well-received workshop on “How to Sell Creative Work to Clients.”

Other programs included the ninth annual Newspaper Academy, co-hosted by the N.C. Press Association, featuring back-to-basics sessions for reporters and editors; the annual weeklong Multimedia Bootcamp that explores the various forms of multimedia storytelling and how they work together to create a cohesive package; and the Edward R. Murrow Program for Journalists, a U.S. State Department initiative that brought 22 journalists from European countries to the school for a weeklong look at how journalism is practiced in the United States.

Powering a Nation Carolina journalism students are leading an experimental reporting endeavor that explores U.S. energy use and its relationship to the country’s demographics.

“Powering a Nation” (poweringanation.org) investigates the political, economic and scientific tensions behind U.S. energy through advanced reporting to engage citizens and inspire informed decision-making.

The project is part of the Carnegie-Knight Initiative on the Future of Journalism Education’s News21 program.

Public Relations

The school welcomed two new public relations faculty members — Nori Comello, who recently earned her Ph.D. from Ohio State University, and Daren Brabham, who earned his Ph.D. from the University of Utah. Comello brings a focus on health communication and identity to the program, and Brabham focuses on social media and an emerging area known as crowdsourcing.

It was an award-winning year for public relations, the school’s largest specialization. Four students won the Award of Excellence in the N.C. Public Relations Society of America InSpire Awards student competition for their work encouraging participation in the 2010 census. Honored for “The Blue Print U.S. Census Awareness Campaign” were seniors Megan Sappenfield, Emily Farrar and Christina Kaemmerlen and junior Amy Dobrzynski.

Assistant professors Napoleon Byars, Queenie Byars and lecturer Scott Misner were recognized for their mentorship of the team.

Alumna Katherine Ducker ’01, vice president and director of Emanate agency, part of the Ketchum family, was named one of PRWeek’s “40 under 40” honorees. An honors grad at Carolina, she was among the team that founded the firm, which has clients including Bank of America and FedEx. PRWeek is an international journal that provides updates on the public relations industry through indepth features, opinion, special reports and surveys.

Three students in Napoleon Byars’ crisis communication class worked on behalf of socialserve.com, a nonprofit affordable housing agency in Charlotte, to study the social media response to the Jan. 12 earthquake in Haiti. Bob Page of Pagestrategy Communications in Chapel Hill helped direct the project. After the May flood in Tennessee, socialserve.com and government agencies used some of the strategies identified by graduating senior Lindsay Britt, and students Faye Fang and Jeff Miles, including the use of Facebook to marshal volunteer resources after a disaster. The student researchers chose the name ArchMedia Project and constructed a website to publish their findings.

They also work with nonprofits including Rock Against Cancer, Music Maker Relief Foundation, 4OurFans, United Way of Greater Greensboro, and Institute for Philanthropy and Voluntary Service in Washington, D.C.

JAFA spring break trip

By Brecken Branstrator As graduation grew closer last spring, everyone kept asking me what my plans were after school. But I had no answer for them because I had yet to find a job or even an internship in the publishing industry. And that was the main reason why the trip to New York City through the School of Journalism and Mass Communication appealed to me so much — I planned on being in NYC that summer no matter what, so it made sense to me to start meeting people early and see what would come of it.

Meeting with alumni in New York City was exactly what I needed before I went out into the real world. I got to meet with many different professionals in many different areas of the magazine industry, and they were all more than willing to talk about any concerns I had. They shared their backgrounds, so I could understand their paths into the industry. Other topics ranged from duties of their current positions, the right steps to take to get a job, what it was like to live and work in the city, and even salaries I could expect.

What I hoped to get was great connections, which I absolutely did get. But unexpectedly I got even more.

The first night we were in the city, there was a reception to meet even more alumni. It was there that I happened to meet an alumna who had started her own communications firm and told me that she might need an intern for the summer. She gave me her card and as soon as the trip was over, I sent her an e-mail. In no time she was interviewing me and then offering me the position!

I credit the New York trip with not only giving me the chance to have a perfect start in the bustling communications and media world that exists in the city and that I am still a part of, but also with helping me form relationships with professionals that I still maintain today. I truly believe these connections will help me on my journey to land a great job and achieve the success for which I worked so hard because alums are always more than willing to help a fellow Tar Heel out.

Reporting

The reporting curriculum continues to support students interested in both print and online journalism, with many stories now being sent to the Reese Felts Digital Newsroom for online publication.

One highlight of the year was the establishment of the Northeast Central Durham Community VOICE, a lab newspaper and website serving an inner-city Durham neighborhood. The publication is produced with guidance from Jock Lauterer and his “Community Journalism” class.

The editing classes, which serve both the reporting and visual communication curricula, continue to teach students basic editing skills while preparing them with specialized training aimed at all media.

“Magazine Writing and Editing” students continued to conceive and produce concepts for magazines, working in conjunction with the “Magazine Design” class to produce slick-paper prototypes for magazines on grilling, parenting and green living, as well as a magazine for preteen girls.

In the classroom, students heard from guest speakers from a wide range of news organizations, including Cosmopolitan, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Graduates in 2010 accepted jobs and internships at a variety of outlets, including InStyle, Our State and Cosmopolitan magazines, the Wilmington Star-News, the Watauga Democrat, The Arizona Republic, The Christian Science Monitor, Reuters and Bloomberg.

Research 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.

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 community journalism, political communication, new media and technology, health communication, entrepreneurship and more.

Activities are underway in many of these areas, and faculty continue to discuss ideas to expand them and launch new projects.

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, and actively share their findings and observations in news articles, blogs and social media outlets.

Sports Communication The sports communication program, now in its sixth year, 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 steroid controversy with senior officials and experts who have visited classrooms to discuss issues based on student research.

(Below) Product display of student-developed concepts for Workroom client Vietri

(Above) Workroom students on a visit to New York City

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.

Sports communication students have landed jobs at ESPN, Nike, Onsport consulting, the Carolina Panthers and the Baltimore Ravens. Many students also enter the program without any direct vocational goals.

Workroom

When advertising students expressed a need to better understand the scope of the creative industry, assistant professor Dana McMahan started thinking. Could a single project create access to the professionals working in the industry, not just as guest speakers, but as collaborators, advocates and advisers in a handson environment? And could that project combine photography, advertising, art direction, production and product development allowing students to apply skills and expand their portfolio at the same time?

The answer is a resounding yes. Workroom, an innovative creative incubator, challenges students to design, develop and promote a new product line for a multi-national client.

Workroom has its own life force...There are no limits to what a creative mind can do.

The project, which takes a full school year to complete, focuses on design inspiration, artistic development and market understanding while introducing students to the people and places that move the industry.

Vietri, a $10 million lifestyle design firm specializing in Italian tableware signed on as the inaugural client and gave the Workroom group free reign to vision a new concept for the brand. The task was to make the elegant home designs that Vietri develops and manufactures work as wearable fashion. Twelve students took on the initiative to design and produce a line of Vietri-branded canvas sneakers, complete with working samples, fashion photography and promotional advertising. Along the way, students interacted with artists, creative directors and marketing executives to bring their ideas to life.

“Workroom has its own life force,” said McMahan. “The students are so energized by the concept, and they work with people who have real passion for what they do. Students need to see creative work in action and be aware that the fast-paced world of media, art and design is very large and diverse. There are no limits to what a creative mind can do.”

The 2009–10 Workroom team included Jake Camp, Anqi Li, Daniel Chen, Cody Pate, Caroline Saunders, Brianne Daberio, Samantha Brody, Matthew Koester, Melissa Withorn and Atembe Fonge.

Being Human: The Photos of Life Magazine Photographer Ken Heyman

A photography exhibit at the J-school in 2010 featured portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, Elizabeth Taylor and Robert Frost.

The portraits were part of the “Being Human” exhibit of 81 photos by former Life magazine photographer, Ken Heyman, that was on display at the school for the fall semester. The free, public exhibit was organized by the school’s Park Library and displayed on Carroll Hall’s first and second floors.

Heyman shot more than 150 assignments for Life, authored 54 books and was a founding member of the International Center for Photography. He collaborated for more than 20 years with anthropologist Margaret Mead, traveling to more than 60 countries and co-authoring two books with her, including the Pulitzer Prize-nominated “Family” in 1965.

“Not everyone knows Heyman’s name, but they might recognize his work,” said Jean Folkerts, dean of the school. “Heyman created iconic images, and through them he told important stories. I’m glad we could share those stories with all who visit the school.”

The retrospective exhibit, which came to the journalism school from CEPA Gallery in Buffalo, N.Y., with support from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, celebrates Heyman’s vision and presents selections from his early journalistic and anthropological work.

It has received enthusiastic response and critical acclaim for Heyman’s ability to interpret sensitively the human condition.

Heyman’s work had been shown previously at CEPA Gallery, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, the Museum of Modern Art, Hallmark Gallery, International Center for Photography, Zabriskie Gallery and American Museum of Natural History, among other locations.

FCC commissioner Clyburn visits Carolina’s journalism school FCC commissioner Mignon Clyburn met with J-school faculty and students in October 2010 to discuss the past decade of American media and what the future might hold.

Clyburn’s visit to Chapel Hill was sponsored by the UNC Center for Media Law and Policy, a collaboration between the UNC journalism and law schools. The center is a forum for study and debate about the important media law and policy issues facing North Carolina and the nation.

Five UNC journalism professors and four graduate students talked with Clyburn about their research and professional experiences related to topics including the near collapse of metropolitan daily newspapers and the increased use of online contracts to regulate behavior on the Internet.

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.

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

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 room.

The school transformed room 11 on its ground floor into the Reese Felts Digital Newsroom, a newsroom where students work with faculty to produce and distribute news for a variety of audiences. The newsroom and its publications also 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.

With a $400,000 gift the Capitol Broadcasting Co./WRAL Fund at the Triangle Community Foundation, the school dedicated its newly converted high definition television studio for two long-time CBC executives — John Greene and Ben Waters.

The N.C. Halls of Fame room on the first floor was renovated to better showcase its members. Six large wooden panels displaying photos of Hall of Fame inductees were removed and replaced with two touch screen displays. New furniture allows for a variety of seating arrangements, making the room more useful for students, faculty and special events.

The school opened a space adjacent to campus on Franklin Street as a classroom and newsroom for reporting students. The school also provides office space to Heelprint Communications — a strategic communications agency run completely by students in the school — at the Franklin Street location.

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 51,000 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.

Several national publications publish rankings that list Carolina prominently in categories ranging from academic quality to affordability to diversity to engagement to international presence.

Carolina is first among the 100 best U.S. public colleges and universities that offer the best combination of top-flight academics and affordable costs as ranked by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine. Carolina has been first in every one of Kiplinger’s periodic surveys since they began in 1998.

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

Little Switzerland Stories

In May 2010, 19 Carolina J-school students worked for seven days to produce a diverse collection of stories that document life in and around the small mountain town of Little Switzerland, N.C. The base camp for the seventh annual Carolina Photojournalism Workshop was Wild Acres, a beautiful retreat located on Pompey’s Knob, a mountain just off the Blue Ridge Parkway at an altitude of 3,300 feet. From a makeshift newsroom, students could see for miles out over the Blue Ridge Mountains, with many of the highest peaks in the eastern U.S. within view.

On the first night students drew story ideas out of a hat and for the next six days they worked to produce finished stories. The workshop concluded with an impromptu viewing party for producers, story participants and the community.

The Carolina Photojournalism Workshop was founded in 2004. Each year a group of UNC multimedia students travel to a different part of the state to produce a documentary website.

Over the years, the workshop has become an indispensable learning experience for students.

There are no distractions; students work from dawn to dusk with some of the finest professionals in the industry, pushing themselves and their colleagues to become better journalists.

Past workshops have been honored by the Webby Awards, National Press Photographer’s Association, College Photographer of the Year, Atlanta Photojournalism Seminar, Horizon Interactive Awards and the Society for News Design.

MARGARET CHEATHAM WILLIAMS | “At Home with the Quirks”— one of the 19 stories in the Little Switzerland project — was produced by Margaret Cheatham Williams. The story is about Natalie Quirk, farm manager of Mountain Farm, in Burnsville, N.C. Quirk, who has a history of abuse, obesity and drug use, moved to the farm with her husband, Chaz, to work and regain her health. She credits the animals at the farm in part for her recovery.

THE LEAD | 4.03

International The school is engaged globally with international partnerships in China, Mexico, Argentina, Spain and other nations across the world. New European partnerships are being developed, and the school is establishing stronger ties in South America, South Africa and the Middle East.

The school is centralizing its study abroad and international research opportunities to make them accessible to more students and faculty. Previously, most of the school’s considerable international programs were the products of the individual professors sponsoring them. A grant from the Carnegie-Knight Initiative on the Future of Journalism Education is funding a new staff position in the school to organize and promote additional international opportunities.

In summer 2010, in partnership with faculty and students from Pontificia Universidad Católica Argentina in Buenos Aires, associate professor Pat Davison took more than 20 students to Argentina to investigate the lasting effect of the 2001 economic collapse the nation experienced. The result was a comprehensive photo and video portfolio and a multimedia website (nowwhatargentina.org). The project is part of the school’s ongoing partnership with the Argentina university that includes student study abroad exchanges and other faculty partnerships.

Two students lived in Beijing and interned for China.org in 2010 as part of an ongoing exchange program with the news organization. As part of the exchange, two representatives from the China International Information Center spend a semester at the school each year.

In August 2010, nine international scholars arrived as visiting scholars, an initiative organized by Richard Cole, the John Thomas Kerr Jr. Distinguished Professor. This year’s group includes professors, other academic instructors and professional journalists from China, South Korea, Finland and India. The scholars learn about journalism in the U.S. by sitting in on classes. Many serve as guest speakers in classes and work with UNC professors.

In October 2010, 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 fifth consecutive year participating in the program. The group spent a full day visiting media organizations in the Triangle, including The News & Observer, WRAL-TV and WUNC. They also spent two days on campus participating in roundtable and panel discussions, listening to lectures, and getting a taste of an American election day by visiting local polling stations and talking to local political reporters about the current election cycle.

Associate dean for professional education and strategic initiatives Louise Spieler and senior associate dean Dulcie Straughan visited City University in London in fall 2010 to explore a student exchange program with the school that is planned to start in fall 2011.

During the spring 2010 semester, school students participated in a virtual course taught by two professors at Tecnológico de Monterrey in Mexico. The course was the only class at UNC taught by video link between the U.S. and another country. During the fall 2010 semester, an international reporting class was taught by international correspondent David Zucchino.

4.04 | School of Journalism and Mass Communication

International Reporting Course In fall 2010, the school offered an international reporting class to give students an inside look at the life of a foreign correspondent. Los Angeles Times international correspondent and J-school alumnus David Zucchino taught the course.

For the course, 10 students each selected a country, region or international topic of interest to study. They wrote weekly reports on those topics, interviewing sources in governments, think tanks, advocacy organizations and universities in the U.S. and overseas. Among the areas of interest students selected were refugees, human rights, press freedom, democracy movements, South Asia, Europe and Africa.

Students wrote stories about remittances by foreign workers, interviewing Mexican workers in Carrboro; about an orphaned Ugandan teenager who managed to attend school on a scholarship while caring for an infant; and about a Venezuelan youth music program that has made inroads in Durham, N.C. Other stories focused on the leadership transition in North Korea, a deadly computer virus that attacked Iran’s nuclear program, the likelihood of Sudan disintegrating, the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks and labor strife in South Africa.

Guest speakers included U.S. Army public affairs specialists who deal with international journalists in southern Afghanistan under combat conditions and international journalists and photojournalists.

Zucchino has reported from more than 20 countries and has been based in Beirut, Jerusalem, Nairobi and Johannesburg. He now covers the war in Afghanistan, and the class interviewed U.S. soldiers there by video link.

In 1989, while working for The Philadelphia Inquirer, Zucchino won the Pulitzer Prize for his nine-part series “Being Black in South Africa.” He was also a finalist for the award in 1983, 1995 and 2004.

Now What Argentina?

In October 2010, Carolina J-school students released “Now What Argentina?” — a collection of multimedia stories about life in Buenos Aires nearly a decade after the most devastating economic crisis in Argentina’s history.

In 2001, Argentina’s economy collapsed, leading to deep economic and social disruption. “Now What Argentina?” explores the history of this crisis, the adaptations of the people and the enduring Argentinean culture.

The site’s debut followed a month-long foreign reporting assignment in which UNC journalism students collaborated with Pontificia Universidad Católica Argentina journalism students to produce a multimedia website detailing the lingering effects of the country’s economic crash. This project not only raises awareness of Argentina’s struggles to a broad international audience but also illuminates the financial crises that are currently challenging people around the globe.

The students, guided by faculty and professional journalists, used photos, audio, video, 360º panoramic photos, information graphics and design to examine the lasting effects of the 2001 economic collapse. The stories range from political violence and drug addiction to tango and soccer, and much more.

View the project at nowwhatargentina.org

ANDREW DYE | The Madres Contra el Paco hold a rally in July 2010 to combat Paco, a highly addictive drug that has been tearing through the poorest parts of Buenos Aires. The United Nations reported that Paco use in Argentina rose by 200 percent between 2005 and 2007.

CATHERINE ORR | The underground theater of Buenos Aires affords actor Pablo Mikozzi, seen smoking backstage, the opportunity to create freely, away from the constraints of commercial theater.

KATHERINE VANCE | A mother and daughter look through newspaper articles concerning the murder of their husband and father amid the political violence on Dec. 20, 2001.

BRITTANY PETERSON | The Fernandez brothers wait to play Pato, a 400-year-old game of throwing a ball into a hoop while riding horseback. It is the national sport of Argentina.

THE LEAD | 4.05

MARY CATHERINE PENN | After the financial crisis in 2001, graffiti artists came together to ease the negativity in Buenos Aires and to begin to “rebuild� the community by painting murals.

4.06 | School of Journalism and Mass Communication

CRISTINA FLETES | Argentine tango and the related tourism industry experienced a period of growth after the 2001 financial crisis. With decreased prices, Buenos Aires quickly became a hot spot for tourists looking for tango at clubs and restaurants like Madero Tango, which features nightly tango shows.

CATHERINE ORR | Underground theaters can be found throughout Buenos Aires. They are quirky, unpredictable and important to the art and culture of the city.

KAITLIN MCKEOWN | Members of the piquetero movement confront police during a protest. The movement is a backlash to privatization and unemployment in Argentina.

Charles Gerrard Society Planned giving has helped fulfill the University’s vision for more than 200 years.

Revolutionary War hero Maj. Charles Gerrard made a bequest in 1797, and the University completed construction on Gerrard Hall in 1837.

The building still stands today — a tribute to Maj. Gerrard’s generosity and a testament to the lasting impact of planned gifts.

Gerrard’s bequest and the planned gifts of others ever since have helped build Carolina and strengthened teaching, research and public service at the University.

The Charles Gerrard Society recognizes the hundreds of alumni and friends who have made a commitment to Carolina’s future through planned gifts including bequests, trusts, gift annuities and life insurance. All alumni and friends who document their planned gifts to the University are welcomed as members of the Gerrard Society.

These members of the Gerrard Society have made documented planned gifts to the School of Journalism and Mass Communication: Suzanne Banzet Paul and Ronni Gardner Larry and Carolyn Keith John T. Kerr III Charlie and Margaret Nelson Debra Pickrel Joseph Sanders Sebastian Sommer William Traynor Glenn Tucker Faye Massengill Van Hecke Linda Wilson Albert Woodard If you have placed the school in your will, and you are not listed, or if you have questions about planned giving, please contact Speed Hallman, associate dean for development and alumni affairs, at 919.962.9467 or speed_hallman@unc.edu.
