Kara Jolliff Gould, an assistant professor of journalism at the University of Arkansas, has been named Faculty Research Fellow by the International Radio and Television Society Foundation in New York City.
Gould was formally recognized at the IRTS Faculty Seminar earlier this month in Las Vegas, where she received a $5,000 grant to support research on how professors across the U.S. are teaching media law to college and university students. The project’s purpose is to determine the most effective, engaging methods of teaching undergraduate journalism and media students about First Amendment issues that are crucial to democracy.
The grant is provided by the IRTS Foundation and made possible by the Nielsen Foundation.
