Whether it is newspaper or magazine journalism, students learn reporting, editing, page design and newsroom management. Students use industry-standard software to produce newspapers and magazines on a weekly basis.
Through the Broadcast Journalism program, students learn reporting, writing and editing broadcast news and feature stories. They learn the skills to shoot and record interviews, plan and execute news stories, and anchor bulletins and programs, and they will also get an insight into the nuances of editing and news presentation.
