Journalism is the gathering, interpretation, and presentation of information upon which we base our decisions. Such information may be breaking news such as war, or disaster, or it may provide insight into the triumphs and tragedies of the human condition. Students prepare for graduate study and careers in print journalism, broadcasting, photojournalism, design and digital media. They learn to interview and gather data from multiple sources. They learn to present that data quickly, accurately, and objectively. They become cognizant of the effects of agenda-setting, bias, and gate-keeping, on the information flow vital to an informed populace. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES Students who major in journalism will be prepared to: Think critically and write clearly, concisely, correctly, and in an appropriate style for print, broadcast, or Internet media Demonstrate an understanding of basic journalism theory Demonstrate an understanding of and an ability to apply principles and practices of journalism law and ethics, including development of personal standards and an analytical system for resolving ethical conflict Demonstrate dynamic, effective, and persuasive oral communication skills Demonstrate the ability to do journalism: i.e., to function as reporters, writers, photographers, videographers, editors, and/or graphic designers Present information in all currently available media: print, radio, television, or multimedia
