Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper

Abstract

As journalism education ages and finds itself becoming a familiar part of the landscape in higher education in the UK, this paper will explore the extent to which practices developed in industry can be aligned with the practices of academic research.

There are increasing demands on journalism educators, who for the most part are former journalists (Errigo and Franklin, 2004; Harcup 2011), to become research active is growing and has seen the development of a significant body of work exploring journalism practice and study.

Harcup (2011) explores the challenges around engagement in scholarly research and noted a range of practical suggestions to support journalism educators. This paper will seek to explore how the cross-disciplinary nature of research practices gained in industry can be utilised in the academy and will assert, in the same way Gormally and Coburn (2013) conclude, that it can lead to a sharing of methodologies and recognition of our strengths as journalism educators.
