Abstract

This commentary provides insights into how the journalism faculty at Howard University in Washington, DC tested the efficacy of its approach to teaching converged media techniques during the US presidential election on November 4, 2008 and the Inauguration of President Barack Obama on January 20, 2009. Coverage of both events were conducted by students supervised by faculty mentors.
