The Tennessee Star reports:
Middle Tennessee State University Names New ‘Social Justice Journalism’ Concentration CoordinatorMiddle Tennessee State University (MTSU) named Jennifer Woodard as the new program coordinator for the school’s Social Justice Journalism concentration, according to the university’s online academic catalog.Woodard (pictured above), a Ph.D. in mass communication from Indiana University-Bloomington and an MTSU alumna, is an expert in “diversity, equity and inclusion,” “race, class, gender and media issues,” and “mediated representations of women” according to her university faculty bio. She is also a faculty member of the school’s Women’s and Gender Studies department and “concentrated on scholarship that would enhance her ability to teach students the value of a diversified newsroom” while pursuing her Ph.D., according to her faculty bio.“My goal is for students to graduate from our program with a respect for the nuances and complexities that come with all aspects of reporting,” Woodard told The Tennessee Star when asked what she wants students to get from the Social Justice Journalism concentration. “We want to give students the tools to figure out what the story is and then to report how it impacts our communities.”However, Woodard did not answer The Star when asked what “social justice journalism” is and why she presumably believes it is important.In a post from her account on X, formerly known as Twitter, Woodard publicly supported the so-called “Tennessee Three,” Tennessee State Representatives Gloria Johnson (D-Knoxville), Justin Pearson (D-Memphis), and Justin Jones (D-Nashville), when the three were threatened with expulsion from the State House after encouraging rioters who invaded the state Capitol building.
