Covering the World from Athens, Ohio
by IIJ Ambassador, Assistant Professor, & Director of IIJ
Scripps journalism students who took our Foreign Correspondence course this winter have produced a total of 34 international special reports and other commentaries on issues pertaining to global crises. The special reports are published in our 2010 Global Spotlight e-magazines and on the IIJ Blog.
The stories are originally pitched, investigated, written, edited, and published by the students, in conjunction with the Institute for International Journalism. The Global Spotlight publishes three issues annually, which feature underreported international issues and current affairs from Africa, Asia, the Middle East, South America and Western/Eastern Europe.

Convergence, Confluence or Confusion? : The Impact of New Media
by Tom Hodson, J.D., Associate Professor
Is “new media” controlling both the delivery systems of news, visuals and information and the content of what is being disseminated? Are social networking avenues molding the landscape of how we communicate with each other? Can traditional journalism maintain its voice even if it is being delivered in a mobile and personal way?
These are just some of the questions to be discussed by a stellar group of international experts, highly placed working journalists, award winning visual communicators and noted scholars at the second annual Schuneman Symposium on Photojournalism and New Media on April 8 at Ohio University’s Baker University Center. The focus of this year’s symposium is “Convergence, Confluence or Confusion: The Impact of New Media.”
