Greetings! 

In an effort to bridge the gap that can sometimes exist between classroom and industry, the International Radio & Television Society Foundation underwrites annual Faculty Seminars designed to give outstanding university educators a chance to explore key topics of the day that relate to their teaching.
FREEDOM OF THE PRESS &
JOURNALISM IN CHANGING TIMES
Our selected conferees will meet some of today's top journalism practitioners, as well as legal experts to explore this topic in a variety of ways; and a few field trips are included as part of our journey.

This seminar is best suited for educators who are as interested in looking at our subject through a legal lens as they are in getting a close-up look at how major news operations and careers in journalism are changing. 

Discussion Points:
- Approaches to Teaching the First Amendment
- From Pitch to Publish | The Digital Life Cycle of A Story
- National Security and the Press
- News Integrity
