Newsrooms are known for their “salty” workplace culture where “f bombs” fly as frequently as breaking news alerts sound; gallows humor long used to manage the stress of having a front row seat to death and destruction.

This panel will offer thoughts on what that means for educators training future journalists and for the employers who seek to hire them. Moderator: Steve Bien-Aime, University of Kansas Panelists: Dan Grainge, President NEP Specialty Capture Division Wes Akers, Northern Kentucky University
