“If you are a high school journalism teacher and feel the need to change the direction of your journalism program, we want to help,” Jim Stovall, a UT journalism professor and director of the workshop, said.
Stovall said the workshop is designed for those who want to shift from print to the web in their approach to journalism education.
“That shift can seem daunting,” he said. “We want to make it easy.”
