News from Every Angle: On the Potential of Implementing Virtual Reality Technology in Journalistic Contexts Researchers and professionals acknowledge the potential of virtual reality (VR) technology as a novel form of immersive journalistic storytelling for generating interest, enhancing reach, and boost...

We know VR in news is flashy, but does it actually work for the audience? 🥽🗞️

New paper "News from Every Angle." My co-authors and I looked at the actual potential (and the hurdles) of bringing VR into the newsroom.

Saying this from genuine concern based on the Facts of what’s happening in #NorCal. Google / YT, Substack, are all owned by #SiliconValley Tech Oligarchs. In
2026, they’ll experience big pressure from 47 and his Goons to Shutdown dissent in all #MassComm channels. YT and Substack are NOT independent

My next series of tweets will be practice for covering an event live

Sigh. Just so terribly sickened by the Failure of alleged #MassComm Experts and Gatekeepers in News AND Corp + Public Sector Comms Shops in my hometown right now. Their ENTIRE source lists + historic understanding of how Black people Built and Powered #SF in the past Century is flimsy, at best.😑🌉

My graduation 5 years ago from #SAU when I received my 2nd BA in Mass Comm/Mass Media. The first BA was in 87 from #StonyBrookUniversity in #LiberalArts #SBU #MassComm AKA #journalism

We're looking for mass comm alums from Loyola New Orleans. Check in and let us know how you're doing.

If you know of Loyno alums, feel free to share this with them.

@bradleyjbond.bsky.social’s content analysis of ICA #masscomm programs since 2018 closes out the panel. Shows that membership is down but topic coverage is highly consistent over time, but more social media research and fewer cumulative effects & journo focus than in the past #ica25

Really enjoying the #ica25 panel on the future of #masscomm: major scholars (Mastro, Holbert, etc)+ top student paper author & current ECR rep (Larissa Leonhard & @femkekonings.bsky.social) each think big picture for 5min about where we are headed, how we do it, & why. Thx @markboukes.bsky.social

PS: This happens across all U.S. industries, and I’ve personally experienced it in #MassComm 😵‍💫

a woman in a blue dress is standing in front of a bed with an alarm clock on the nightstand that says 4:20 Alt: Screen shot from Disney’s feature film “The Frog Princess” showing the main character— a Black Woman — collapsing onto her bed from Exhaustion.

So extremely tired by the #SM / #Internet-driven Mass Psychosis that now has claimed #MassComm “Experts” who SHOULD be Media Literate.

Tech’s Whiteness Is the Problem. Are We the Solution? Last week, Twitter said it was “pausing” to reconsider the process by which it bestows the blue check mark denoting accounts that had been “verified,” and on Wednesday the company announced that it ...

fwiw: I sounded the Alarm in 2017 about #BigTech’s pernicious influence on the US #BodyPolitic. Now #MassComm across all sectors in 2025 is driving public MassPsychosis that is Destroying democracy. But whatever, right? BW Comms Experts like me haven’t EVER mattered 🤷🏽‍♀️ www.theroot.com/tech-s-white...

A poster with a photo of Dr. Matthew Haught, department chair of journalism and strategic media at the University of Memphis, with a call to action to vote for Dr. Haught for vice president of AEJMC.

If you are a #masscomm scholar please consider voting for Matt Haught for AEJMC vice president. He has been a dear friend and mentor for years, and I am confident in his abilities as a strategic leader. He is kind, innovative, and has a clear vision of growth and success for this organization!

Any #qualitative #masscomm scholars have any opinions about Nvivo vs MAXQDA software for analyzing qual data? Specifically wondering if one is better than the other for transcribing/coding participant interviews 📝👩🏼‍💻

Brings me Zero pleasure to now point out what the Establishment wings of US news biz AND the DemParty belatedly now (hopefully?) understand. Experienced/Qualified/Trained Black #MassComm Pros have WARNED for many years that Anti-Black RACISM will Undo US democracy. Situational *Liberalism* is BS.
