CAJ workshop: Is there a place for academics in journalism?

“Is there a
place for academics in journalism?” is a workshop led by Ingrid Bejerman
at the upcoming CAJ conference in Montreal.

Qualitative research = qualitative reporting

What speaks through us? What do we know, and how do we know it? How do
our assumptions decide our sources and shape our stories?

Let’s take academic approaches out of the ivory tower and explore ethnography, epistemology, deconstruction and discourse analysis as tools for the working journalist. Get a firm grasp of key concepts from anthropology, cultural studies and communications through concrete examples of the theory in practice.
