The current spate of violence against the media isn’t new. It didn’t begin with Trump’s presidency, nor will it end with him. The journalistic eras of partisan, personal, yellow, jazz, minority and new have their heroes who suffered and sometimes died, and the reprobates who attacked, killed, and maimed journalists. Despite such tragedies, American journalists continue to die for the principles of truth, freedom and democracy. This panel looks at and analyzes the long history of perpetrators who have attacked the media.

While public relations and advertising programs excel at preparing students for careers working for agencies or as in-house practitioners, the rise of the gig economy is creating new opportunities for our students to serve as their own bosses upon graduation. How, though, do we prepare students for management/ entrepreneurship? What are the best practices or potential additions to curriculums or syllabi that could better equip our students to strike out on their own in a rapidly changing industry? How can we foster data entrepreneurship lessons in our classroom that transfer to industry? In addition to data analysis, what other skill sets are useful in both an entrepreneurial and industry setting? This panel will discuss best practices and potential virtues of adding media management and entrepreneurial pedagogy to public relations, advertising, and other mass communication majors.
