Back to school |
 This week, teachers and students in Canada’s
journalism programs are gearing up for a new year of learning, debating,
chasing stories and sweating deadlines. J-Source is a good place to jump-start the year. In
the Students'
Lounge, our contributors are talking about replacing textbooks
with an iPad, and how to keep cover
letters out of the trash bin. The Lounge features a students' tool
box, directories of awards and
job
opportunities, and news about the student press.
And it's a place to examine and debate the changing state of
journalism education, including one U.S. university's decision to close its
journalism program. Given there are still plenty of arguments to keep j-schools
open, J-Source's 'Teaching
Journalism' section is well-stocked with classrooms tools and tips, along
with deeper reflection on education issues. Working journalists will also find
useful gems in these sections - not to mention a deep well of 'back to school'
story ideas.
