Mass Communication: journalism concentration
| "Convergent Journalism is great because I've gained a lot of on-line media skills such as web design and HTML. Most journalism jobs require some knowledge of this and it's great that I am able to put that on my resume." - Angie Wirtanen, Senior |  |
The concentration focuses on two methodologies in delivering the news:
-
Print Journalismcourses provide opportunities for students to develop research and writing skills aimed at delivering purpose-oriented and persuasive news stories suitable for traditional print vehicles, such as newspapers and magazines, or for new media outlets, such as the Internet.
- Students specializing in Broadcast Journalism develop research and writing skills to produce news stories, as well as a keen awareness and working knowledge of the production values associated with presentation and speaking skills that facilitate the delivery of their message in all forms of electronic media.
The area of concentration is open to all Department majors without prerequisites and welcomes students from other majors and disciplines, especially Advertising, Business, and the Sciences.
