[ecrea] Seminar on Journalist Interns, November, University of Copenhagen
Sun Mar 30 14:26:01 GMT 2014
Studying journalist interns
Seminar and workshop at the University of Copenhagen 27th – 28th
November 2014
Theme
When educating new journalists, an important part of the training takes
place when the journalist students do their internship. In this
socialisation process, what the students learn, and what values are
either enforced, reinforced or abandoned, is crucial to the future of
educating journalists and the future of journalism. Yet, we do not know
much about the process as a whole: From when the students enter the
journalism education to the stage at which they practice journalism
professionally.
The goal of the seminar is to bring together Nordic and European
journalism researchers and journalism educators to share knowledge on
the topic of interns as part of journalism education.
We aim to establish a network of scholars and practitioners with a
specific interest in studying and educating journalist students and
interns, in gaining knowledge about their self-understanding, their
perceptions of their jobs and education, the socialisation processes
they find themselves in, their professional knowledge and professional
practice – and other interesting topics concerning internships.
These areas have not received that much attention so far within
journalism research. We hope to change this by offering a venue for
networking and discussing research, theory and practice. Especially, we
welcome cross-disciplinary research and projects using mixed methods.
Hopefully, this can create possibilities for future seminars and
collaborations across boarders – geographical borders as well as
theoretical and methodological ones.

This event at the University of Copenhagen will be a mixture of
presentations (20 minutes talk and 10 minutes for discussion), plenaries
from researchers and practitioners, and workshops focusing on both the
topic for the seminar and on future research and collaboration
possibilities. Please see the full program below.
If you wish to forward this invitation to others, who take an interest
in the field, please do not hesitate to do so.

The number of participants for this seminar is limited to 30 people.
Therefore, you have to send us an e-mail before Friday 15th of August,

on journalists’ experiences of their occupation and its implications for

journalistic quality and to further serve a vital democratic function on
our society.
