Introduction

This edition was guest edited by Karen Fowler-Watt, Bournemouth University, UK, she said: “I was delighted to be invited to put together this special edition of Journalism Education. It didn’t take me long to decide on a topic, since “the story”, how we tell stories and how we teach storytelling constitute dominant and consistent themes in conversations with colleagues – both in industry and the academy – as well as a personal enthusiasm.”
