Campus Roundtable
In classrooms and lecture halls where diversity mission statements and accreditation criteria are mere words on paper, how are journalism educators addressing LGBT issues with their students?
Sample Syllabi
NLGJA has gathered a vast collection of course syllabi for educators looking for thoughts, ideas and strategies for introducing coverage of the LGBT community into their classrooms. You’ll find suggested readings, academic texts and course ideas to build your own collection of resources.
Readings & Research
In collaboration with the GLBT Interest Group of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication, NLGJA’s Leroy F. Aarons Journalism Education Program has assembled a comprehensive bibliography of scholarly research mass communication and theory related to the LGBT community.
Case Studies
Experience is the best teacher. NLGJA’s case studies use real-life news stories as jumping off points for substantial discussions about journalistic approaches, ethics and responsibilities. How would you have covered this story? What facts are missing? What story elements should have been left out?
Campus Outreach
With the Campus Newsroom Outreach Project, NLGJA goes from the newsroom to the classroom or collegiate newsroom to discuss issues surrounding the coverage of LGBT individuals on campus and beyond.
Additional Resources
Reading suggestions, teaching guidelines and additional NLGJA resources to help you in the classroom.
