Explore print, broadcast,
and digital media.
These days, the media is the moment.
Events are recorded as they occur with
little time for analysis and interpretation.
And with the advent of citizen journalism
in new formats like YouTube and blogging,
the media has changed considerably
in the last few years alone. Get a
firsthand look at this fast-paced field
and learn how the various areas of
the media differ in reporting and presenting
the news. Take advantage of the rare
opportunity to meet and learn from
some of the leading journalists, media
figures, and educators influencing
our word. Understanding how the media
shapes our reality, and how you can
shape the media.
Understand the critical role journalists
play in our democracy.
Journalists have always served as a
check on government and business by
objectively reporting happenings to
the public. In the Media & journalism
conference, you’ll examine the
way media works, and debate the practices,
legal ramifications, and ethics involved
in capturing, framing, and presenting
a story.
Research, write, and report your story
in the JOURNALISM SIMULATION.
Once you’ve studied the role
of media, put theory into practice
and go into the field to research and
report a story. You’ll identify
a relevant issue and frame your story
while making decisions about objectivity
and entertainment value. You’ll
conduct interviews, review similar
stores, and present your ideas to your
editor in chief for approval. And with
constructive workshops on reporting
skills, fact checking, and pyramid
writing style, a Pulitzer Prize – winning
story is in the works in no time.
