"Teaching Tweeting" - How Twitter is being used by an Associate Professor at the University of Kansas to help educate future journalists
Simran Sethi is an associate professor at the University of Kansas School of Journalism and Mass Communications, where she teaches courses on diversity, sustainability and environmental communications and uses social media as exclusive reporting platforms.
She is someone I have a great deal of respect for. An educator passionate about what she does, openly embracing the communications revolution, equipping her students for the future. Someone who truly "gets it."
A great read for anyone interested in the future of journalism, "Teaching Tweeting" takes a look at both how and why Simran incorporates Twitter in her classes - as a learning tool and as a journalistic tool. She also addresses the issue of participatory journalism, something she "heralds the rise" of.
A truly forward thinking journalist and educator.
