The Routledge Companion to Journalism Education brings together a global and transdisciplinary field of scholars, practitioners, and journalism educators to provide the most contemporary, research-informed, and practice-focused reflection on journalism education today. Organised thematically over five sections, contributions examine a range of urgent challenges for journalism education and practice. These include matters of inclusivity and diversity, trust, online and physical safety, social media polarisation, and new technologies, including AI. Through exploration of a range of social and historical factors and scrutiny of journalism’s normative values, including its relationship with industry accreditation bodies, this volume critically considers the potential for journalism education to lead change in the industry. This is an essential companion for journalism educators the world over, as well as for anyone researching the future of journalism education and its bearing on practice.
