For nearly 15 years, as a member of the Springfield College Communications/Sports Journalism faculty, Kyle Belanger has made his classroom an extension of the newsrooms, radio stations, TV studios, and professional communications environments that his students aspire to join.
Rooted in the fundamentals of ethical journalism and storytelling, his classes balance arduous classroom study and academic rigor with the hands-on practice of those theories and principles. In other words, students should not plan on staying in their seats too long; they are going to be up and working before their armrests get warm.
His course offerings are diverse, including classes in online/new media, newspaper layout and design, radio/audio broadcasting, and public relations/strategic communications. And even though student feedback is not always a direct marker of pedagogical effectiveness, feedback like this blog post on the Springfield College official website certainly seems significant.
