Broadcast Journalism
|
| Broadcast Journalism is an interdisciplinary program, taught in cooperation with the Television and Radio departments. Students learn to report, write and produce television and radio news. Student-produced news programs, such as "Metro Minutes," a TV news update show, and "Newsbeat," a live TV newscast, are highlights of the program. Radio news students get hands-on training at Columbia's radio station, WCRX, 88.1 FM. Internships are a vital part of Columbia's journalism major. Students are encouraged to take one or more internships in print, broadcast and online media. |
