Journalism Emphasis

Do you have an interest in documenting local, national, and world events as they happen within a rapidly evolving social and political landscape? Would you like to learn how to research, write, and edit information that can be distributed in print, online media, and live broadcast? The Journalism emphasis at the University of Arizona Global Campus (UAGC) will give you the knowledge and skills needed to conduct research, evaluate information, and write clearly in the forms and styles appropriate for the profession. You will learn the rights, roles, and responsibilities of news media professionals, and apply ethical principles in pursuit of truth, accuracy, fairness, and diversity. Your UAGC journalism program coursework will also help you demonstrate the capacity to think analytically, creatively, and independently in developing news and information, so that you will be able to critically evaluate your own work and the work of others. The ability to provide the right information, media, and message to a variety of audiences is a skill valued within many professions.
