DCU FuJo is delighted to be one of the founding university partners in the Google News Lab University Network. Launched last week, the initiative aims to provide support and training to journalism educators.
“We also want to celebrate and promote academic journalism projects that use Google tools. We hope to foster discussion with educators and offer them an opportunity to review News Lab curriculum and training materials to ensure that it adheres to the right level of pedagogy for journalists and students.” Nicholas Whitaker, Google News Lab Training and Development Manager
The News Lab University Network is comprised of an initial cohort of 48 journalism schools. It will provide in-person training and online training materials and support to professors and students.
DCU FuJo is one of twelve European universities in the initial network. A full list of participating universities is available here.
