How Journalists Find the Beat: A Cognitive Ethnography of Journalistic Pedagogy

This cognitive ethnography included observations of journalism classes and real newsroom practices; in-depth interviews of journalism instructors at three universities, as well as reporters and editors at a local newspaper; and a literature review of readings recommended by practicing journalists and journalism instructors. The information gathered was used to develop science.net, our web-based journalism game.
