Pennington

Hornaday

School of Journalism doctoral students' work will be presented at the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication's Southeast Colloquium March 17-19 in Columbia, S.C.

Doctoral student Rosemary Pennington's paper, "Science, faith and the news: How religion and media influence what Americans believe about science," has been accepted for presentation in the Open Division. Pennington's paper consisted of a secondary analysis of data collected for the 2008 General Social Survey and was produced last fall in assistant professor Joann Wong's J660 Statistics course.

Doctoral student Bill W. Hornaday’s paper, “Tweeting the Police Scanner: The Rediscovered Liabilities,” will receive the third-place student award in the Law and Policy Division of the colloquium. The paper examines potential legal issues and uncertainties involved when professional or citizen journalists use Twitter to divulge information overheard on police radio scanners. The paper was produced last fall in associate professor Anthony Fargo’s J572 The Press and the Constitution course.
