Jackson State to open journalism school
(xposting AA)
http://www.jacksonfreepress.com/news/2015/nov/13/jackson-state-gets-j-school/
Jackson State University will have a journalism school, officials announced yesterday evening.
After the JSU mass-communications department temporarily lost its accreditation, the university sought to establish a new school. In March 2015, Dr. Elayne Hayes-Anthony joined JSU from Belhaven University as part of the mass communication department and made a number of new hires.
The new School of Journalism and Media Studies will be housed at the JSU e-Center, which hosted the announcement and reception on Nov. 12. Anthony believes the new school elevates JSU to the national media stage.
"It is our hope that students will be energized, that faculty will be motivated, and the media community will wholeheartedly assist us on our journey toward communication excellence in all disciplines," Anthony said.
