Pages 112-122 in the proceedings of the 25th annual meeting of the Association for International Agricultural and Extension Education in San Juan, Puerto Rico, May 24-28, 2009.
Noting the rapid growth of journalism curricula in American colleges, the author emphasizes how "journalism has been and remains today without any well understood training course for its teachers" and with excessive emphasis upon practical training. Includes a comparative reference to agriculture curricula in that regard. Describes needed criteria for such curricula, and for teacher qualifications.
