Abstract | This survey examined the extent and quality of magazine journalism education in the United States and Canada. Over half of the 200 schools surveyed responded to the questionnaire concerning current teaching practices and facilities. Results indicate that magazine journalism is more widely taught than generally supposed: most schools have at least one course that concentrates on magazine writing or editing; one-fifth of the surveyed schools offer separate magazine, news magazine, or professional (freelance) writing sequences in their journalism curricula. In contrast to the expanded course offerings in magazine journalism education, nearly half of the responding schools indicated that they did not have any faculty members devoting more than one-third teaching time to magazine courses. Additional data that are discussed include enrollment, facilities, texts, internships, "joys and frustrations," and other aspects of magazine education. A sample questionnaire is attached. (RL) |
