    97: A Million Ways To DEI with Esteemed Professor Kathleen McElroy

    97: A Million Ways To DEI with Esteemed Professor Kathleen McElroy
    Kathleen McElroy was tapped to lead a new journalism program at her alma mater—Texas A&M, a university that boasts the largest student body in the entire country. Her experience included decades at the New York Times and a reputation for promoting diversity in the workplace. With fanfare usually reserved for college coaches and athletes, McElroy’s signing ceremony took place in the center of the campus not too far from a prominent former Confederate general’s statue—Lawrence Sullivan Ross. But the university buckled under backlash. A watered down job offer fell apart and was ultimately rejected after powerful individuals close to A&M expressed opposition over her previous work in diversity. Consequently, a forthcoming state law banning diversity measures at public colleges has only added more political fuel to a controversial fire. So did it take a million dollar settlement for regents to get the result they eventually wanted all along? Join us as I SEE U host Eddie Robinson talks candidly with UT-Austin’s Journalism Professor, Dr. Kathleen McElroy. She opens up about her quest for encouraging young students to pursue journalism in helping them find their own unique voice in becoming accurate, unbiased storytellers. McElroy also explores how growing up in Third Ward, Houston provided a sense of empowerment that would essentially shape her into the celebrated woman she is today.

    35: The Future ‘Shift Key’ in Journalism

    35: The Future ‘Shift Key’ in Journalism
    Critics believe independent writers, reporters, producers and content creators with large digital followers will paint the future of journalism. But with (mis)information so readily available via the internet, will media consumers trust those fresh voices? I SEE U host Eddie Robinson questions whether traditional journalism runs the risk of falling prey to an overwhelming arena of YouTubers, vloggers and podcasters hoping for a digital, multimedia transformation. Peabody Award-winning Professor of Media, Journalism and Film at Howard University’s Cathy Hughes School of Communications, Sonja D. Williams, provides her insight; along with Emmy award-winning reporter, Justin Carter, who left his TV job to work for the independent media company, “The Shade Room,” a celebrity news and trending gossip platform.

    Pitching

    Pitching

    The pitch is one of the most important parts of a story - it convinces an editor or producer that your idea is solid, interesting, and perfect for their publication. So what makes a good pitch, and how much preparation should you get done beforehand?

    Interviewing Politicians for Broadcast

    When you're doing a profile interview on a politician you need to be well prepared. Politicians are regularly interviewed, are well practised, and sometimes it can be a challenge to get an answer that isn't spin. How do you go about structuring an interview, and how do you go about research preparation?

    Broadcast Writing Principles

    Broadcast Writing Principles

    Broadcast writing differs greatly from its counterpart in print media. The main principle behind broadcast writing is simple: keep it short and to the point. Scripts must be clear, concise, accurate and elegant. Avoid inaccuracies, confusing usage and newspaper-style journalese for the airwaves.

    This week, we’ll look at the principles of broadcast writing. What are the main dos and don’ts? How we ensure that stories are as attention-grabbing as possible without resorting to crude sensationalism? And what's the significance of the rise of 'snack culture' when it comes to the traditional audiences for news and current affairs?

    Dissecting TV News

    Dissecting TV News

    When it comes to mobilising a mass audience, nothing can beat television news. Australians on average watch over three hours of television every night, and studies in the USA indicate that TV news is still the dominant source of news for Americans.

    The average television news story is one minute and 20 seconds long, allowing the news reporter to offer multiple perspectives on an issue. But does this always happen? How do you prepare for a TV story? This week, we’ll take a look at the basics of structuring television news stories.
