At a time when traditional journalism has come and gone, George Mason University students have an opportunity to create the future of content and storytelling. At Mason we are advancing our Journalism advising in innovative ways to include branding, digital content, digital marketing, start-up growth, content and DEIA business and reporting incubators. Beth Jannery, rejoined the Department of Communication this year and is reinvigorating what it means to study journalism at Mason.
What follows is a snapshot of Communication Cases highlighting the work the Journalism program is engaged in: 2022 -2024. We believe in advancing student development and faculty professional development inside and outside of the classroom. We are looking at ways to bridge the classroom and the workplace with innovative ideas.

This week we highlight
[TH]XM: Teaching Harmony Expanding Minds
Advising a graduate student and sociology professor on creating their own consulting company to help educators and companies conduct diversity and inclusion – DEIA. Worked together on vision, strategy, communication, branding, digital content and start-up initiative. Research-based DEIA expertise for small to medium-size companies to compliment education, teaching and research methods to help corporations’ advance diversity and inclusion training for leadership. This is an excellent example of how projects started in the challenging and supporting academic environment transition into the workforce and create substantial impact on topics such as diversity, equity and inclusion.
