Abstract
This qualitative survey of 50 high school journalism teachers in the state of Kansas seeks to understand how fake news, anti-media rhetoric, and the decline of local news has impacted high school journalism education, particularly when it comes to in-class curriculum choices. The study finds that high school students have little attachment to local news, little respect toward current media, and little understanding of the role that media should play in society. The multi-level devaluing of journalism in society is significantly impacting journalism education, making advisors’ job increasingly difficult, leading to frustration with students, frustration with a lack of help, worry over job security in the face of hyper-partisan political environment, and an overall identity crisis among journalism teachers.
