At the journalism school, he might meet Hearst Professor of Communication, James T Hamilton, who "through research in the field of computational journalism, is exploring how the costs of story discovery can be lowered through better use of data and algorithms." Mmm - computer-driven, cheap Panoramas.
Or Professor Theodore L Glasser, whose contribution to "Normative Theories of The Media: Journalism in Democratic Societies", might help James get Alex Salmond and the boys off Nick Robinson's back.
Or he could pop into the John S Knight Journalism Fellowships department, where they "champion innovators, entrepreneurs, and leaders as they re-invent journalism."
"Innovation means applying new solutions to unmet needs: creativity plus implementation. It is not wild ideas that lead nowhere, and it is not limited to digital technology.
"Entrepreneurship means taking a risk to create something new — inside an existing organization or outside of one — by seeing and responding to an opportunity. It is not the same as starting a business.
"Leadership means inspiring and enlisting others to reach a shared goal. It is not the same as being the boss or a CEO. Journalism informs and engages the public with reliable news and information in myriad forms of media: stories, photos, videos, charts, analysis and commentary. Its tools and techniques change while its core principles of accuracy, verification, independence, fairness and relevance remain sacred.
All in two weeks.
- There should be no time for partying, but we note that on campus, the University requires the provision of EANABS at all social events. Equally Attractive Non-Alcoholic Beverages.
