Journalism Professor and Knight Chair Mindy McAdams will be spending two weeks this summer at WCPO-TV in Cincinnati, Ohio, as a Scripps Howard Foundation/Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC) Visiting Professor in Social Media.

McAdams has been a professor in the College since 1999, teaching courses about the Internet and journalism. She has trained hundreds of journalists in digital skills and strategy in 17 countries. Her book Flash Journalism: How to Create Multimedia News Packages was published by Elsevier/Focal Press in 2005. She worked at The Washington Post and Time magazine 1988-1995. As the recipient of two Fulbright Scholar grants, she taught in Indonesia and Malaysia.

The Scripps Howard Foundation has funded the opportunity for six journalism/communication faculty to spend two weeks learning first-hand how media outlets are using social media across multiple platforms. These visiting professors “work” at the outlets, learning how professionals there communicate in a digital media world.

The second phase of the program provides funds for a professional from the media outlet to visit that professor’s campus for a three- to five-day visit during the fall or spring semester.
