So yeah, I've done I've been an educator for about 15 years, and I've done multiple partnerships over the years. And they've all had really great benefits. But they've all had particular challenges as well. So this quote here, be prepared to fail and pivot is, this is something that I had in my research and someone I talked to said this, and this really does like kind of sum up my experience with partnerships with working with my students and news organization. So I'm all in on collaboration, but I'm also someone who, who realizes the, the challenges and as realistic about what it entails. So my main question was just to understand more about how collaborative journalism is being practiced within University journalism education in the United States, and to get a better understanding of what's being done and how, how people are doing it. Before I jump in a little, little background on some of the ideas and philosophy behind journalism education in the United States, the idea of partnership of collaboration is not new. This is it goes back as far as journalism education itself. Within journalism, education, sometimes, we talked about the Missouri method from the University of Missouri. And this really means things like giving students real world experience, covering having students cover their communities, publishing for their communities, and being guided and coached by professionals. So all those things that are kind of elements of collaborative journalism, have been around for a long time. But I think there is a distinctive era where this became more important kind of in the mid to late 2000s. When there, there started to be this discussion about modeling journalism, education more after medical education. And this idea of a teaching hospital approach kind of emerged. So a couple of key points in that evolution in in 2005, a project called news 21, was launched, which was investigated projects, partnering students and professional news organizations looking at national issues, had a lot of multimedia. And I think this kind of opened the gates to, for more people to do this. There was a number of high profile speeches in the late 2000s, the dean of the Columbia Journalism School, kind of laid out this speech where he imagined 1000s of students reporting on their local communities and how that could transform journalism, particularly at a time when local journalism was starting to retrench. funders have been very interested in this so people like Carnegie and Knight have been interested in partnerships. In 2014, the online news Association started what was called the challenge grant where they would give specific grants to educators who would partner with news organizations to do innovation and change things in the curriculum. Over the last couple of decades, we've seen the emergence of more investigative centers located within universities, schools that have really embraced the teaching hospital approach as central to their curriculum. So I think this has kind of grown. It's grown over the last couple of years. And this idea of the teaching hospital approach, this came up in my interviews, people talk about this. It's not universally accepted. But I think it really is an important force in how people think about journalism education today. And then people have studied and defined kind of this teaching hospital approach of students working with professional journalists in the context of university to produce content for general audiences, in partnership with professional media organizations. And you can see a lot of overlap in this definition to the kind of definitions that we use to talk about collaborative journalism itself. Alright, so my basic research questions were to look at the characteristics of academic and news partnerships, how they're being conducted, some of the benefits, some of the challenges and recommendations for others looking to form their own.
