TROY – Chris Warden, assistant professor of journalism in Troy University’s Hall School of Journalism, has been named a fellow of the Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism.
 
Warden is one of just 12 journalism professors nationwide selected for the fellowship, which seeks to develop business journalism in universities and colleges.
 
“In business journalism, the grammatical and reporting skills are the same as in other journalism disciplines, but command of the subject matter is lacking in most working journalists and students today,” Warden said.
 
The center hopes to improve that situation through extending business journalism education, he added.
 
“It’s about reporting on the economy, on businesses and commerce and how these areas affect us all,” Warden said.
 
With the fellowship, Warden will attend a seminars and workshops at the Walter Cronkite School of Communication Arizona State University, home of the Reynolds center, Jan. 8 -11.
