ABSTRACT
Through using the resources of the university, journalism schools have the potential to revive the profession, the supporters of the teaching hospital model claim. Having inspired all four centers of this study, the model and its goal of creating a hybrid between the newsroom and the classroom constitute the common thread of this chapter. In order to debate whether the university nonprofits of study are able to fulfill their dual mission, some of the most central ideals within professional reporting and journalism education are also presented. Constituting the theoretical foundation of the study, these include the concepts of the social contract of the press, the role of investigative reporting, theories of different knowledge types, and various models of professional training.
