Expert In
Broadcast news and live reporting
Media convergence / corporate ownership of media
Dr. Huffman has reported, anchored, and produced
news at commercial television stations in Tampa, Florida, in Santa
Maria, California, and
in Cedar
Rapids, Iowa. Her reports have appeared on NBC’s “The Today Show.” Dr.
Huffman taught broadcast journalism at three universities before joining
the TCU faculty in 1999, and her former students are currently reporting,
anchoring,
and producing news at stations across the South and the Southwest. At
TCU, Dr. Huffman created SkiffTV (www.skifftv.tcu.edu)
and SkiffTV2 (http://web.mac.com/cshuffman) and works with faculty
colleagues to cross-train students in broadcast, print and on-line journalism.
She is co-author of Reporting
from the Front: The Media and the Military,
published by Rowman & Littlefield. She is also co-author of Women
Journalists at Ground Zero: Covering Crisis, published by Rowman & Littlefield. The
book contains the stories of 24 women who covered the events of September
11, 2001 from New York City, Washington, DC, and rural Pennsylvania. These
women were television reporters, wire service photographers, newspaper editors,
and TV anchors. Dr. Huffman says they were very brave and focused and strong
that day, and their stories show us how much “true grit” it takes
to be a journalist in such horrific circumstances. She is also co-author of
Broadcast
News Handbook: Writing, Reporting, and Producing, published by McGraw-Hill.
And she is a contributing author to Indelible Images: Women of Local Television,
published by Iowa State University Press. Her research centers on the practice
of broadcast journalism and has been published in Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic
Media and presented at both regional and national symposia.
As an undergraduate at TCU and a member of the 1973 graduating class,
Dr. Huffman was a M. E. Sadler National Merit Scholar and a member of
the Honors
Program. Currently she is a member of the Addison and Randolph Clark
Society and a lifetime member of the Alumni Association.
