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.
