Introduction to Journalism

53-1010

This course is designed to inform and inspire students about the important public service role of journalism in a democratic society, including the rights and responsibilities protected under the First Amendment. As technology advances, journalists must be grounded in the history of the profession and its enduring standards and values. Students will become more sophisticated media consumers as they prepare to become professionals in this evolving field. Students will also be introduced to a broad array of journalism careers, through guest speakers, presentations and occasional field trips.

Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
