Harrison Hove Selected for the CJC Journalism Lecturer Position

Harrison Hove, B.S. Telecommunication 2005, will join the University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications Journalism department as a lecturer for the fall 2019 semester.

Hove has been a Multimedia News Manager in the CJC Innovation News Center since 2017, overseeing content creation, primarily for WUFT-TV broadcasts, with award-winning results from the Hearst Journalism Awards, BEA, Edward R. Murrow, and SPJ Mark of Excellence competitions.

He has been teaching courses on broadcast journalism, performance and presentation and innovative storytelling techniques, and oversaw projects focusing on Florida felons’ reintegration into society (Locked Out: Florida sentences are for life) and Florida Amendment Four’s restoration of felon voting rights (Silenced: 1.5 million Florida felons without a vote).

In 2017, Hove won the Top Faculty Paper Award in the AEJMC Electronic News Division for “The Local TV News Digital Footprint: Is Local Content Vanishing Amid Climate of Consolidation?” Last year, he was elected Research Chair for the Electronic News Division.

Prior to coming to CJC, Hove spent more than a decade working at local television stations in Florida, Louisiana, and Ohio.  His anchoring, reporting, and weather forecasting earned him seven regional EMMY awards.

In the fall, he will be teaching broadcast-news courses and helping with the integration of Telecommunication news into the Journalism curriculum. He will continue to collaborate with students on big individual and group projects.
