“…Systemic racism and DEI-related issues have become even more critical since our first study was published in JMC Educator 12 years ago. In our first study on this topic, Moody et al (2013) documented notable progress for women in attaining leadership positions but found limited presence and no positive trends regarding racial/ethnic minorities in AEJMC’s leadership.…”

“…Understanding the characteristics of AEJMC’s leadership offers a window into the potential role of the association with respect to DEI matters. The 12-year span since our initial study of AEJMC’s leadership (Moody et al, 2013), and the social climate on race and gender created by sociopolitical developments since, have provided an optimal opportunity to analyze the organization’s diversity efforts.…”

“…The underrepresentation of ethnic/racial minorities is evident in the top level of leadership of AEJMC, a finding that has remained unchanged from our previous investigation. In its 100-year history, AEJMC has had one African American male (Tony Atwater, 1992-1993) two Asian American males (Alex Tan, 1997-1998Kyu Ho Youm, 2012-2013, and one of Native American heritage (Joe S. Foote, 2002) in the position of President. This picture is brighter when looking at gender where the organization has achieved parity in its top leadership position.…”

Academic associations play a vital role in the development of academic fields and their respective educational institutions. Using Critical Race Theory, this article reviews the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication’s (AEJMC) ethnic/racial and gender diversity, DEI research, and leadership demographics to provide context for our analysis of the organization’s ethnic/racial and gender leadership between 2010 and 2022. Findings indicate AEJMC has made strides in its recruitment and retention of women and Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) faculty. White females and Asian males are well represented in the organization’s highest leadership positions, and in the Council of Divisions. However, Hispanics and Native Americans continue to be underrepresented in top leadership positions. Study findings, proposed solutions, and best practices aim to help AEJMC and its members make a difference in addressing shortcomings related to DEI research, retention, and leadership cultivation.

“…It has been the urge to be part of the advanced technology where things are changing in terms of learning experiences for future journalists. Moody et al (2013) discussed about the need to have diversity in leadership in the oldest United States-based association which is the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC). They argued that in order to be inclusive in terms of journalism education direction, it is important to have diversity in leading institutions such as AEJMC.…”

Globally, journalism education is undergoing significant changes in view of the ongoing technological evolution. Hence, it is important to have a good journalism education that can shape good journalism practices and professionalism. In recognition of this, the Council for Heads of Communication Studies (COHEC) in Malaysia has mapped out a framework for journalism education to be offered by Malaysian universities (COHEC, 2010). However, COHEC study was very brief and did not underline what makes good journalism practice. Therefore, this study seeks to identify the knowledge, experience, and skills needed in Malaysian journalism education. To this end, this study conducted in-depth interviews with senior practitioners -senior editors and chief editors -from media organizations in Malaysia. Findings show the importance of knowledge, experience, skills, and attitude needed for good journalism practices. The findings also acknowledged that journalism knowledge is as important as experience and debunked the old testimony that knowledge can be practiced on the job and no formal journalism education is needed. The understanding of journalism is not as a skill but as social, cultural, and philosophical expression, and general education is needed to cover the journalistic aspect of life. There is a need to redefine journalism as a field of study.

This study analyzed the National Communication Association (NCA) members’ perceptions regarding the effectiveness of their own and their peer presentations and the challenges they faced when preparing and giving conference presentations. Overall, participants (n = 187) feel fairly content with the effectiveness of NCA conference presentations and the value they have gained from them. The effectiveness of others’ presentations has a significant association with members’ perceived value of the conference presentations. The lack of experience and lack of confidence are key variables that heighten anxiety which can impact the effectiveness of presentations. Process anxiety was positively associated with presentation effectiveness whereas performance anxiety was negatively associated with presentation effectiveness. This needs assessment provides informed suggestions for making academic presentations more effective in the future.
