In this episode of Lights, Camera, Learn!, Molly Dugan, journalism professor at Sacramento State University, shares her journey from the Sacramento Bee newsroom to the college classroom, where she now inspires the next generation of storytellers and journalists. She discusses her signature courses like “War, Peace, and the Media,” exploring how journalists navigate truth, power, and conflict in a rapidly changing information landscape. Dugan also reflects on teaching media literacy in an era of misinformation and the importance of curiosity, critical thinking, and humility in both consuming and creating media.
