Radical Curriculum Proposal
• Journalism is a specialized used of many fields• Computer Science ≠ Web Development• Design is a key element in being able to communicate
effectively• Data, data, data• Knowledge of statistics
also important• Need for different
teaching methods• Reach different audiences• Rise of learn-to-code movement• Jobs for people with these skills!!!

Radical Curriculum Proposal
• If we don’t move aggressively and efficiently toward this:• Journalism curricula will increasingly grow irrelevant• Someone else - another department, organization – is
going to fill that space• Students won’t have the 21st century communication
skills they need to be successful in their careers• Communication is two-way - connecting and sharing.
And providing meaning to data and information. This needs to be the foundation of any media curriculum.
