Journalists write for an audience. It's an axiom that guides what we choose to write about, how we report, how we choose our language, when and where we publish. It's an essential part of the profession. And so, reporters and editors, columnists and correspondents fail miserably if they don't – or won't – understand their audience. If they ... [Read More…]
Christians need LGBTQ dialogue
The debate concerning homosexuality is finally working through the layers of taboo that cover Christian campuses and finding its way into conversation. HU Queer Press caused a stir on Harding's campus last year with an unwelcome website. Last week a group of ACU students and recent alums published an online zine, Voiceless, that addresses the topic ... [Read More…]

Cross-cultural settings enhance understanding

But in the spirit of the season, let's take a look at something that has barely been touched by technology in its 50 year ... [Read More…]
