The first UNC journalism class was taught in 1909 in the English department. The Department of Journalism was founded in 1924. It became a school in 1950. In 1990, Mass Communication was added to the name. In 1999, the school moved into Carroll Hall. The school has been nationally accredited since 1958 by the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (ACEJMC). The school has 51 full-time faculty, and enrolled are approximately 800 undergraduate students and 100 graduate students (60 Master's and 40 PhD). It is now called the UNC School of Media and Journalism. The school has nearly 9,000 alumni in all 50 states and 29 countries, including 5,000 alumni in North Carolina. Twenty-four of the school's former students and faculty members have won or been part of 28 Pulitzer Prizes, including the late editorial cartoonist Jeff MacNelly, a three-time Pulitzer winner. Susan King has been dean of the school since January 1, 2012. King came to the school from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, where she was vice president for external affairs and program director for the journalism initiative.〔("Carnegie Corporation of New York's Susan King named UNC journalism dean" )〕 Dulcie Straughan was interim dean of the school in 2011. Jean Folkerts served as dean of the school from 2006 to 2011. Folkerts followed Tom Bowers, who had served as interim dean for one year and had been on the faculty since 1971. Bowers followed Richard Cole, who was dean of the School for 26 years. The School is home to the North Carolina Journalism, Advertising, Public Relations and Broadcasting Halls of Fame. ==History== English professor Edward Kidder Graham taught the first journalism course at UNC, English 16: “Journalism.” The two-credit course was described as “the history of journalism; the technique of style; the structure of the news story; and the study of modern journals” in the 1909-10 academic catalog.〔Bowers, T. "Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina," 2009. pg. 7-8.〕 The Department of Journalism was founded in 1924 with Gerald W. Johnson, an editorial writer for the Greensboro Daily News, as its first chairman. With a six-course curriculum, students could earn a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism degree.〔Bowers, T. "Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina," 2009. pg. 29-31.〕 The department offered its first broadcast journalism course, Journalism 67, “Radio News and Features,” in 1943.〔Bowers, T. "Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina," 2009. pg. 50.〕 In 1946, faculty member Stuart Sechriest taught the first photography course, Journalism 80, “News Photography.”〔Bowers, T. "Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina," 2009. pg. 52.〕 Lola Lee Mustard became the school’s first female faculty member in 1948.〔Bowers, T. "Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina," 2009. pg. 52.〕 Led by UNC journalism graduate Holt McPherson in 1949, the School of Journalism Foundation of North Carolina was incorporated to raise funds to advance journalism at the school. The money collected provided student aid, chaired professorships and equipment.〔Bowers, T. "Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina," 2009. pg. 82.〕 The foundation continues to fulfill this mission today. The department became the School of Journalism Sept. 1, 1950, with Skipper Coffin as dean.〔Bowers, T. "Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina," 2009. pg. 81.〕 Coffin was succeeded in 1953 by Norval Neil Luxon, at the time an assistant to the president of Ohio State University.〔Bowers, T. "Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina," 2009. pg. 114-5.〕 Luxon created the master’s of arts program in 1955, and the first M.A. degree was awarded in 1957. The doctoral program began in 1964.〔Bowers, T. "Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina," 2009. pg. 138-40.〕 The school was first accredited by the American Council on Education in Journalism (ACEJ) in 1958.〔Bowers, T. "Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina," 2009. pg. 142.〕 Since that time, the school has earned reaccreditation every six years. The school moved into Howell Hall during the fall semester of 1960.〔Bowers, T. "Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina," 2009. pg. 147.〕 Lester Carson, the school’s first black student and one of the first black undergraduates at the University, graduated in 1963. The same year, Karen Parker, the University’s first black female undergraduate, enrolled in journalism classes.〔Bowers, T. "Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina," 2009. pg. 164-5.〕 Luxon relinquished his deanship in 1964, and Wayne Danielson became dean.〔Bowers, T. "Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina," 2009. pg. 157.〕 Danielson left the school in 1969, and John B. “Jack” Adams took over.〔Bowers, T. "Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina," 2009. pg. 171.〕 Adams' tenure included the implementation of the spelling and grammar test developed by faculty members Tom Bowers and Richard Cole. The test still is required of all students to graduate with a journalism degree. On Feb. 1, 1975, NBC News aired a report about the test on a national television newscast.〔Bowers, T. "Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina," 2009. pg. 184.〕 As of 1977, accreditation was granted on a sequence-by-sequence basis. As a test case in 1978, the school became the first journalism program in the nation to receive unit-wide accreditation.〔Bowers, T. "Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina," 2009. pg. 187-8.〕 Richard Cole became dean in 1979 after Adams stepped down. The same year, Harry Amana became the school’s first black faculty member.〔Bowers, T. "Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina," 2009. pg. 182.〕 Carol Reuss revived public relations courses in 1980 – more than 50 years after Robert Madry taught two educational publicity courses. By 1982, PR was an optional specialization of the news-editorial sequence, and by 1991, public relations became a separate sequence.〔Bowers, T. "Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina," 2009. pg. 193-4.〕 With Reed Sarratt as president, the school formed the Journalism Alumni and Friends Association (JAFA) on Jan. 26, 1980. The group continues to keep alumni connected to the school. The N.C. Journalism Hall of Fame was created in 1981 to honor individuals who have made outstanding and career-long contributions to journalism. Honorees have to have been born in or become distinctly identified with North Carolina. Dean Cole and Gene Robert of the Philadelphia Inquirer created the school’s Board of Visitors – now the Board of Advisers – during the 1988-89 academic year. The board is a vehicle to involve a variety of alumni and other media professionals more closely in the school.〔Bowers, T. "Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina," 2009. pg. 203-4.〕 The school changed its name to the School of Journalism and Mass Communication to more accurately reflect the diversity and broadness of instruction. At the time, more than 70 percent of the school’s undergraduates were in programs other than news-editorial journalism.〔Bowers, T. "Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina," 2009. pg. 195.〕 The school created the visual communication sequence in 1991, and the dissolution of the Radio, Television and Motion Pictures program in 1993 brought several new faculty members to the school. The broadcast sequence became electronic communication in 1994.〔Bowers, T. "Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina," 2009. pg. 195.〕 In 1995, the Park Foundation of Ithaca, N.Y., which later became the Triad Foundation, pledged $5.5 million for the first five years of the Park Fellowship Program, funding graduate educations in the school. The foundation also gave $1 million to construct the Park Library in Carroll Hall. It continues to be the school’s largest benefactor.〔Bowers, T. "Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina," 2009. pg. 198-200.〕 The school moved from Howell Hall to its current location in Carroll Hall in 1999.〔Bowers, T. "Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina," 2009. pg. 219-20.〕 “Carolina Week,” the school’s student-produced newscast, debuted Feb. 2, 2000, under the supervision of professors Charlie Tuggle and Richard Simpson.〔Bowers, T. "Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina," 2009. pg. 197.〕 Cole stepped down as dean in 2005, and longtime faculty member Tom Bowers served as interim dean.〔Bowers, T. "Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina," 2009. pg. 229-30.〕 Jean Folkerts, former director of the School of Media and Public Affairs at George Washington University, became the school’s seventh dean in 2006.〔Bowers, T. "Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina," 2009. pg. 233.〕 In 2009, Folkerts led the school through reaccreditation and oversaw the implementation of an ambitious new curriculum to better reflect the changing media environment. Folkerts stepped down as dean on June 30, 2011, and faculty member Dulcie Straughan was interim dean until January 2012, when Susan King became dean. The school was renamed July 1, 2015, to the UNC School of Media and Journalism. The new name was intended to reflect the excellence, innovation, opportunities and forward-looking programs already in place. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「UNC School of Media and Journalism」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
