Dear journalism studies researchers, instructors, and graduate students:
With thanks to @konrad for the idea, I have created a Google form to populate a directory of those of us who are on Mastodon. I describe "journalism studies" as ICA does: those into journalism theory, research, and education.
#JournalismStudies Google Form
https://forms.gle/HWj5hcfjiSAv2jbbA
#JournalismStudies Spreadsheet
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13hih8a1oHZNIERGBiUCaZLjvh57I4of-mLNTHXNRv5M/edit?usp=sharing
I will monitor the list for any problematic content. Contact me with any comments.
Dear All, To help journalism studies researchers, instructors, and graduate students find each on Mastodon, consider adding yourself to this list that will I post on Mastodon and will be openly available online. Contact me on Mastodon (@[email protected]) if you have any questions. I will do my best to monitor this list for any inappropriate material. Note that I am defining "journalism studies" in this instance as the study of or interest in "journalism theory, journalism research, and professional education," as taken directly from the mission statement of the Journalism Studies division of the International Communication Association.

for those I haven't met yet, hi, I'm Tessa! i develop/maintain open source software for libraries, archives, and other cultural heritage folks. these days I work on open source web archiving software for all at Webrecorder. previously I was a software dev working on Archivematica and AtoM at Artefactual, and before that I was a digipres librarian and digital archivist a few places.
outside of work I play music (mostly doom metal these days) and ttrpgs, do archery, and hang with my pets :)
Of course we're open to having new friends join us, but with what's going on over at Twitter, the number of people trying to join is high enough that I honestly can't tell the spam signups from the legit ones, so we've gone invite-only
If you want to join Scholar, and you understand what kind of space you're joining and want to be a part of that
Reach out to me and I'll give you an invitation to join

<p>The good news is that open access publishing, which allows anyone to read academic papers without needing a subscription, is taking over. The bad news is that academic publishers have managed to subvert it, so the victory is proving hollow. That’s confirmed by a new preprint from an international group of researchers: Since the early …</p>
& a few of us at Concordia's Library wanted to make something fun to show the value that #OpenAccess research can have in everyone's life, so we made Seer, an interactive digital experience. It's designed for our large visualization studio but we also have a more basic web version. Info here (though more will be added): https://github.com/lib-development-concordiaU/Seer try here: https://library.concordia.ca/apps/seer/
