Jerry Crawford, University of Kansas associate professor of journalism, is the recipient of the 2020 Gretchen and Gene Budig Teaching Professorship. The award recognizes outstanding faculty instruction, and recipients are asked to deliver a formal lecture. Because campus activities have been closed his lecture, “Students and Writing: Meeting Them Where They Are – and Where They Can Go,” was recorded and can be viewed on the KU School of Journalism’s YouTube channel.
Crawford teaches courses in ethics, multimedia reporting, advanced reporting, producing and audio/visual documentary.
