Karen McIntyre is an assistant professor of multimedia journalism in the Richard T. Robertson School of Media and Culture at Virginia Commonwealth University and researcher of constructive journalism. In this lecture, Dr. McIntyre discusses her work and key lessons from her forthcoming book, Perspectives on Social-responsibility Reporting: Theory, Practice, and Effects, which is co-edited with University of Oregon Associate Professor Nicole Dahmen (forthcoming, 2020, Peter Lang). This book will provide an in-depth examination of genres of news reporting that share a common goal — reporting beyond the problem-based narrative, thereby exemplifying a commitment to the social responsibility theory of the press, which asserts that journalists have a duty to consider society’s best interests during the newsmaking process. Such news forms include genres like constructive journalism, solutions journalism, peace journalism, and restorative narrative, among others. Audience questions have been cut from the Q&A portion of Dr. McIntyre's lecture, but her responses to those questions are included in this recording.

She previously served on the AEJMC's Electronic News Division and Newspaper and Online News Division. Prior to joining Virginia Commonwealth University, she worked for publications such as the The National Geographic Channel, News21, The Richmond Confidential, and many others. Her research interests more broadly involve the processes and effects of digital media, especially as they relate to media psychology.

In this podcast we catch up with Dr. Claire Wardle, who visited the SOJC as a Demystifying Media guest lecturer in 2016 to discuss how Silicon Valley was driving changes in online publishing. We were lucky to have her back in our newly renovated podcast studio to share her research on the rapidly evolving strategies that promoters of disinformation are using to influence public opinion--and what journalists can do about it. We are also joined by Sydney Dauphinais, news director at KWVA, the 24-Hour campus radio station here at the University of Oregon.

Previously, she was a Research Fellow at the Shorenstein Center for Media, Politics and Public Policy, and also the Research Director at the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia Journalism School. Not only did Dr. Wardle give an incredible talk about the role of disinformation in the 2020 US election during her visit, but she also led a full-day training for students, professional journalists, and communications scholars to give them the tools to respond to this very real threat.
