About this position

Duquesne University Location: Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, PA Description: Position Number: 820289 The Patricia Doherty Yoder Institute for Ethics and Integrity in Journalism and Media (Yoder Institute) at Duquesne University is excited to welcome applications from distinguished scholars to be its Visiting Media Scholar. Founded more than 130 years ago by the Congregation of the Holy Spirit, Duquesne University places a premium on excellence in scholarship and the ethical pursuit of truth through communication, whether in traditional journalism, broadcast news, sports, advertising, public relations or media design. Since Guttenberg's invention of the printing press, technological innovations have presented media practitioners with ethical dilemmas in gathering, reporting and presenting information. Human missteps or lapses in ethical decision-making-as well as external forces and seismic shifts in the media landscape-have contributed to a deteriorating trust in media in more recent years. Since 2021, the Yoder Institute has focused on ways to restore that public trust in media through thoughtful discussions among students and members of the public by sponsoring national guest speakers who elevate discussions about ethics, supporting research examining public trust in media, and creating opportunities for press organizations, universities and media outlets to collaborate in ways that expand local news coverage where it is lacking. The Visiting Media Scholar will be appointed for a minimum of sixteen weeks of the semester, with a stipend of $10,000 depending on experience, relocation expenses, and availability to participate in Institute-sponsored events. An in-person residency will receive priority. The selected scholar will be provided with on-campus office space, an e-mail account, and all Gumberg Library privileges. Responsibilities include teaching one, 3-credit undergraduate/graduate seminar on a topic of the scholar's choosing among our department m
