Examining Potential Demographic Trends in the Opinions of Undergraduate Journalism Professors Concerning the Topic of Technological and Traditional Journalism Skills and Theories

Abstract Details

2011, Master of Science (MS), Ohio University, Journalism (Communication).
This study examined demographics and characteristics of journalism professors and administrators to find potential trends in opinion of the importance of technologically based journalism skills and theories. Journalism school educators and administrators were surveyed and asked their opinion on the importance of a series of skills and theories, and their responses were analyzed for significance. The theoretical basis for the demographic and characteristics chosen dealt with selective perception. The results suggest that age and focus of teaching area have the strongest influence on the opinion formation.
