Welcome To The Journalism Program!

Journalism at Emory emphasizes writing, reporting and critical thinking. The skills of newspaper and electronic journalism go hand-in-hand with study in the liberal arts and sciences. The result is journalists who are well prepared to work in the ever-changing multimedia news environment. Journalism co-majors and minors learn the craft of researching, interviewing, reporting and writing news. They develop an understanding of press issues and build a technical foundation. Students advance and refine that know-how in professional internships. Journalism at Emory is open to all students.

The Journalism Program also offers the opportunity to study specialty writing and reporting, investigative reporting and news literacy. Interdisciplinary classes in science writing, economics and business reporting, arts criticism, and race and ethnic relations are open to students from all disciplines. These courses focus on writing for the general public.
