Mass Communication Education

Industry-wise, colleges and universities are currently facing a unique set of circumstances which will last quite some time even after the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic begins to wane. Among those challenges will be questions related to the increased necessity of course design quality and innovation. This is particularly true for programs planning to integrate increased social justice characteristics to their academic/program curricula. Therefore, the purpose of this chapter is to review existing mass communication education scholarship by incorporating a qualitative-focused, content analysis of materials related to course design, evident teaching practices and avenues which facilitate social justice and media entrepreneurship. Also, this chapter seeks to demonstrate how these pedagogical designs differ from those outside of the communication discipline and what can be gleaned from these similarities and differences. To close, this analysis will make recommendations to benefit students and highlight and distinguish academic program and institutional identity for the future.

Mass Communication Education

This article uses an examination of journalism and mass communication (JMC) education in Pakistan as a case study to explore the consequences of increased homogenization of JMC education around the world. Anchored by a qualitative method that relies heavily on actor-network theory, the study identifies key moments and people in the trajectory of five Pakistani programmes and explores the connection between these programmes and the larger JMC organizational field. The study concludes by questioning the efficacy of the current power structures within the supranational JMC organizational field before discussing how these influences could potentially be mitigated moving forward.

Teaching Application

This chapter offers an enlivened mass communication education approach adaptive to traditionally taught, face-to-face, and hybrid delivery systems. Aimed at preparing students for active participatory and responsible global citizenship, this tripartite approach bridges mass communication and social entrepreneurship mediated through service-learning. The proposed teaching application encourages students to challenge status quo arrangements, provoke disruption, and promote societal change using disproportionality in school discipline, K-12, and challenges related to executive-level search committees and the failure to diversify college administrations as illustrations.
