Research and teaching interests

Jerry Thull has been involved in communications since 1992 when he began working as an advertising executive for New Times, an alternative weekly newspaper in Phoenix. After earning a master’s degree in journalism from the University of Nevada, Reno, he managed the newsroom of a daily newspaper in Sparks, Nevada. More recently he managed public relations for Grand Canyon Railway and marketing for the Flagstaff Convention and Visitors Bureau. This diverse experience has given him the opportunity to observe the media from a variety of perspectives.
