Our Faculty and Staff
The School of Journalism at the University of Texas at Austin has long been recognized as a leader in journalism education, due in large part to the quality of its distinguished faculty members.
The faculty and adjunct faculty, which include internationally renowned scholars, have diverse backgrounds and extensive experience in the fields of print, broadcast, photojournalism and multimedia journalism. They hold leadership positions in national and international organizations and serve as editors, editorial board members and contributors to the top journals in the field.
In its latest evaluation by the Accrediting Council of Education in Journalism and Mass Communication, the school was praised for the faculty's level of scholarly productivity, visibility in both academic and professional circles and exceptional student-faculty relations. The faculty is comprised of 25 fulltime faculty members and more than 20 adjunct instructors from the local media community. Together, they have more than 300 years of professional experience and 450 years of teaching experience.
Faculty members maintain extensive professional contacts in Texas and around the nation. Among the faculty's current strengths are international reporting, multimedia journalism, business writing, sports journalism, social and political commentary, documentary photography and media and press criticism.
