Jinx Coleman Broussard Award for Excellence in the Teaching of Media History

This award is presented to the winners of the division’s Transformative Teaching of Media and Journalism History ideas competition. Members may submit an innovative teaching strategy to the contest, which is judged by a committee each spring. During the annual AEMJC conference, winners present their original and tested teaching strategies that address one or more of these pedagogies: diversity, collaboration, community, or justice.

The teaching competition award recognizes Jinx Broussard, a full professor and the Bart R. Swanson Endowed Memorial Professor in the Manship School of Mass Communication at Louisiana State University. She was the 2018 Scripps Howard AEJMC Teacher of the Year. Broussard is also the 2019 recipient of the Guido H. Stempel III Research Award from the E. W. Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University.
