Are you interested in journalism and the art of storytelling? If writing and digital media are your style, the Print and Online Journalism major is a great choice.
You'll learn the basics of journalism, including ethical news reporting, and then branch out in various areas, including marketing, public relations, and social media or digital content creation.
In the first year, you'll dive into news writing, basic photography, marketing, advertising, public relations, publication design, and online journalism. You'll build a solid foundation in journalism skills, preparing you for various career opportunities in media, marketing, digital media and more.
In your second year, you'll refine your writing, editing, layout design, and digital publishing skills. You'll work on various writing formats, from news features to blogs, and gain experience in editing, business writing, copywriting, and public relations. The program culminates in a simulated "newsroom" experience where you'll create content for SAIT's online newspaper.
This field offers the flexibility to blaze your path, whether as a freelance writer or photographer or working for a company or a news organization.
Our class sizes are small, with 32 students on average, and photography class sizes are capped at 16.
Whether you're passionate about writing, photography, or digital media, our Journalism program is your first step toward a rewarding career in storytelling, communication and the creative industries.
