JOURNALISM PROGRAM
Two years - Ontario College Diploma

PROGRAM GOALS

This program is designed to prepare students to function well in a news centre that is committed to convergence news reporting. This means the graduate will have the ability to perform well in all media platforms including print, radio, television and electronic on-line filing. The curriculum will provide students with cutting edge knowledge and skills making them highly marketable across all media platforms.

Students will experience actual on-deadline news filing projects, be expected to adapt their story for multiple media deliveries, and to back up their stories with photography, audio or video. Much of the course work is in field, and as such, students must be strong self-starters and motivated to seek out, interview and write stories on a frequent basis. Successful applicants will have a very strong interest in news and current affairs. They must have above average writing skills and the ability to meet deadlines while working under pressure. They should also have an innate sense of curiosity.
