Poepsel's work, "Community News as Collective Action," was among three COMJIG research papers presented during the Aug. 11 Scholar-to-Scholar session during the AEJMC convention in St. Louis. Poepsel recently completed his doctorate and has been hired as an assistant professor at Loyola University in New Orleans. (Photo by Andris Straumanis)

In her research, "Culturally Competent News Coverage," Garyantes suggests that the concept of cultural competency -- used in such fields as education, health care and social work -- can be applied to journalism, particularly through multimedia reporting.
