Faculty Learning Community connects students with independent journalism
April 16th, 2026
Journalism isn’t always boring. In fact, it can feel like a game of cops and robbers. That’s what ALC students discovered during a recent visit from Chris Curtis, founder of Montreal’s The Rover. The talk was organized through a Faculty Learning Community (FLC) on journalism and media literacy, which brings together faculty and others from across disciplines to develop tools and approaches for teaching media literacy in the classroom.
With over 37,000 Instagram followers, Chris has become known for condensing complex local issues into accessible reels, offering an alternative to mainstream media and meeting audiences where they already are. The approach resonated strongly with students.
