Journalism in the 21st Century is an exciting world that offers many opportunities for those seeking to build a career. News Writing, and photojournalism are the main skills taught in the Journalism program; other specialities including advertising and public relations, publication design, and online journalism are also covered in the first year of study. In the second year of the program, students may concentrate either on photojournalism or print and online journalism studies. Photojournalism - Students study advanced lighting, feature, sports, advertising, lifestyle, portraiture, studio, location and staff photography techniques, in addition to portfolio strategies as they apply to digital photography systems and applications required by print media publications. Students secure their own placements, which are approved by the program, to complete a 4-week work experience internship. Print & Online Journalism - Students study professional techniques of writing, editing, designing, and laying out newspapers and magazines using desktop publishing techniques. They also practice special photo techniques. During the last two semesters, students complete practicums, usually at newspapers and magazines.
