Journalism Studies

journalism plays a central role in social and political life. 

Research in this area reflects on the role of journalism in society from both historical and contemporary perspectives. It examines processes of production, distribution and reception of news in national and international contexts, and explores journalism’s changing nature in the digital age.

Klein’s newly created “Center for Cities & Solutions” focuses on the study of solutions-based journalism to promote positive change in urban environments such as Philadelphia.

recent research by our faculty has addressed:

  • Solutions journalism
  • The melding of news and entertainment
  • Digital journalism
  • Journalism history
  • Non-profit news organizations
  • The future of journalism
  • How journalists use social media
  • News in a global context
