About the School of Journalism
Students are introduced to journalism as practiced across all forms of media within the first two years, after which they may choose courses to concentrate in a specific medium (online, newspaper, magazine or broadcast) or gain expertise in a cross-media skill such as editing, or in a specific beat in journalism (including sports, business or international reporting).After taking courses building skills and evaluating theories associated with journalism, the culminating year brings theory and practice together.
Students may finish their program with an internship at a professional news organization in any medium. They’ll have the chance to produce material in The On the Record newsroom, a digital first newsroom. It produces daily news and multimedia, a newspaper, podcasts and broadcasts. Alternatively, students help to write and edit the The Review of Journalism, a nationally distributed magazine including features and investigations about the Canadian journalism industry.
