The McCormick Foundation Colloquia for Journalism Education Evaluation
The Cox Center hosted the second McCormick Foundation Colloquium for Journalism and Mass Communication Education Evaluation Saturday, Dec. 6, 2008, as a part of the Association for Journalism and Mass Communication Midwinter Meeting held in Louisville.
A panel of 20 educators and mass communication professionals met to discuss journalism and mass communication education assessment methodologies. Panelists represented both public and private universities and colleges from Indiana, Kentucky, Florida, Georgia and Ohio.
With funding from the McCormick Foundation, the Cox Center has conducted two panel discussions in an effort to improve current evaluation methods. The first McCormick Foundation Colloquium was held Aug. 5, 2008, during the Annual AEJMC Convention in Chicago.
The discussions focused on the use of the Annual Survey of Journalism & Mass Communication Graduates as one tool of evaluation and ways that the survey can be improved and expanded to serve the needs of the field.
