Journalism

Overview

An interest area

Ever dream of seeing your byline on the front page of the New York Times ? Journalists can range from community reporters to government watchdogs, but they all have one thing in common – the ability to write in clear and precise language.

As a Journalism student, you will learn to recognize a good story, perfect your research skills, interpret information, and the art of interviewing. As an aspiring Bob Woodward or Carl Bernstein, you will also learn the ethical and legal responsibilities of reporters of the news.

Bryant encourages you to put theory into practice on the student newspaper, The Archway ; the student-run radio station WJMF; and at the television studio, producing segments for the Bryant News Broadcast.

Future careers, post-grad opportunities

As a Journalism graduate, you may choose to become a reporter, anchor, or editor, but your skills will be valued in many professions – as researchers, public relations specialists, and script writers, to name a few. These skills will also serve you well in graduate or law school.
