Journalism - Print and Broadcast

Our Program

Humber's program provides training in the professional skills needed to perform this difficult work. During the first two years, students focus on acquiring the general skills of journalism, and writing in the various styles and formats demanded by magazines, newspapers, radio, television, and online publications.

Students focus on acquiring the general skills of journalism, including interviewing, conducting background research, reporting and gathering audio and visual materials for use online and in traditional television, radio, newspaper and magazine formats. From the start of the program, working individually and in group exercises, students produce assignments that reflect the working skills required by the profession.

In the third and final year, students specialize in a pathway - print (newspaper/magazine) or broadcast (radio/television). Also in these final two semesters, students expand their mastery of working online and take part in valuable internships and gain specialized skills to succeed in the growing online media environment.

Our, faculty continue to work in the industry segments they represent, some as part-time staff where they rub shoulders with former students on the job and some by judging industry competitions, speaking at conventions and corporate functions. This helps ensure our program remains both current and viable.
