Amber Hinsley, Ph.D.
Teaching
I am incredibly fortunate to get to combine my two greatest professional passions--teaching and journalism--every day.
Leaving the newsroom was the most difficult career choice I've faced but I was motivated by the desire to do more to help reporters, and I felt teaching journalism students was the best way for me to be of service to the profession. Along the way, I've taught myself all of the digital tools that I teach my students and I try to instill that same excitement of being lifelong learners in them.
I started a new job in Fall 2020, as a professor at Texas State University. While at Saint Louis University, I won a university teaching award and was an innovative teaching fellow. I also was selected to be in the inaugural class of the university's Course Design Institute.
